Comment Follow the money, brown nose the boss... (Score 1) 835

Consider the source: He works for Rupert Murdoch now, and he knows where his genetically modified bread is buttered - that is to say, with the same Vegemite yellow journalism that permeates "Fox News" and the rest of that "neo-fascist-corporate domination can do no wrong" ideology they slather on our media. I guess buying MySpace was his backup plan in case the "sheeple" misbehave and start to clone the truth incorrectly.....

Comment Seems to me photographers expose terrorists.... (Score 4, Insightful) 601

Isn't that how it worked in this case? They revealed a camera, and all of the sudden they were terrorized by ignorant, arrogant, bullies pretending to "serve and protect" the public welfare of our citizens. I think its quite clear these cops are acting just like domestic terrorists - and paid for with our tax dollars! Who is in charge of our country anyway? Citizens or government bankrolled thugs without a clue?

Comment Absolutely. Without a doubt. Its guaranteed. (Score 1) 312

...You can always rely on the same consistent results when you expect these people to tell you what to think. And if you think there is someone else better equipped to accurately predict the future, then it won't matter who you ask. Its bad enough to have a great deal of faith in one's own self interest and greed, but its retarded to expect your satisfaction from their appetite. Human nature is the only thing thats broken here. Now try to enjoy the rest of World Cup and World Economy without gambling on winners while acting like losers.

Comment User flaw shows dilluded sense of privacy on net (Score 2, Interesting) 124

The only flaw is when people believe that VPN or any other network technology streaming on the public superhighway via telecoms and satellite networks is absolutely private and secure 100% of the time. Once you fix that defect, the rest won't matter anymore. Too bad our national security experts are having so much difficulty with that concept, since its bad for business to accept reality or to tell the truth, in general.

Comment Its not about the money, its much more... (Score 1) 98

...the ego is so much more.

If you feel the love you'll fork out the $25 to flickr to be "pro" which means that you'll have an even larger capacity to exhibit your work. Others may be motivated by the desire of a vocation or creative challenge, in a flat job market. Vanity Press offerings will tie in nicely with this type of professional incentive.

If great painters have to die to be valued then semi pro photographers must go broke buying pricey apparatus. Its a pay to play incentive to get hooked into that annual pro fee.

Comment Screw AT&T (Score 1) 670

I mean it. Screw them. Let's just take it over and give all their electrons away. We'll make it part of the U.S. Postal Service, and completely deny them and their shareholders of any more extortion money from us anymore. How's that for "bait and switch" AT&T? Citizens Not Shareholders: Screw Corporate Scum - eat the rich, soylent green is people. Get a sponge BP, its enema time.
