I'll admit there's a possibility that I'm totally wrong with everything I beleive. But as a Christian, I feel I have nothing to lose. My life has changed in about a million ways for the better from when I was an atheist. That's not to say that my life was really all that bad, either. If I'm right, that's cool, but if I'm wrong I've lived the happiest life possible and I simply get to die. To me it's win-win.

What if Christianity is the wrong religion? Then you lose.

okay I think I'm getting off topic and I doubt anyone here wants to hear my opinions anyways...so I'll stop.

Are you kidding? I love other people's opinions and ideas so I get to prove them wrong. Keep it coming!

Post: Intellectual Property- Private vs Public
User: Senior Fish

Message to User:

Making threads on behalf of jailed people is a no-no. Sort of defeats the purpose of taking away that privilege, no?

Original Post:

(Note: I am doing this for Che Guevara. This is all his work.)
Intellectual property is very much a hot topic in modern society. Thanks to the Internet, we have near unlimited access to a incredibly large volume of books, music, movies, software, games and media outlets. However, these sources are all being subject to increased regulation by corporate agencies, whether through restrictive DRM or through legal and PR battles aimed at terrorizing the general public into submission.

In America, the Digital Millenium Copyright Act gave these unique rights to corporations, allowing them to pursue legal action against individuals who had been tracked down through 'various' means.

Canada recently fought down it's own version of the DMCA, known as Bill C-60. This bill would have imposed several ridiculous regulations on IP. No private copying of sound recordings or other media. Absolute ownership of digital media would also come into question.

From the Kill Bill C-60 site wrote:
Have you ever been a tourist and asked a stranger to take your picture with your camera? Well, under the terms of Bill C-60 doing so will give that stranger copyright over the picture that was taken. You would not be legally able to use that picture for anything other than private personal uses. So don't decide to share it with your friends on your web site, and don't use it for commercial purposes unless you can locate that stranger. What, you were Brazil when that picture was taken? Well, good luck!

Although the Bill in its current form has been shot down, how long before something equally restrictive is lobbied for by private American corporations complaining about the rampant digital piracy north of the border? Barring the private corporate lobby further tipping the scales in their own favor, how long before software and hardware standardization imposes these same kinds of restrains without government legislation being required?

iTunes is a good example of a potential abuse of consumers through technology. Although EMI recently decided to release their entire library as DRM-Free, they still incorporate tagging information into each file. A consumers name and email address are imbedded into each file. If they choose to trade these files, they're setting up a chain reaction of lawsuits should agencies like RIAA choose to pursue them for sharing the files over P2P networks. Instead of just getting one person during a bust, they could get whole networks of people unwittingly trading watermarked media over the Internet.

Microsoft is going in another direction. I've recently posted several links to a patent they recently published that would give them access and control over the use and standardization of a unique style of P2P distribution. United States Patent 20070136608: Off-line economies for digital media Instead of seeking legal action against those looking to trade digital media, this form of distribution would monitor and tax distribution through this new channel, created through 'trusted computing' channels.

Are we at a breaking point where our own governments lack of technological knowledge has created a power vacuum that Private Corporations are rapidly attempting to fill?

Should there be more government action to ensure that Private Corporations aren't granted complete monopolies over digital media (which amounts to control over digital culture.)

Should consumer watchdog groups be created and mandated to prevent these kinds of abuses of power from taking place in the first place?

Discuss.

The DMCA is extra fun because it isn't actually part of the Copyright Act so fair use doesn't apply to it. Thanks legislators, real lovely of you.

Also PRIVATE CORPORATIONS kind of hurts your thread, what's it matter if it's a private or public corp, or an individual, or a nonprofit org or whatever?

A non-profit or Crown corporation might better suit the needs of the public that will be making use of the technology. Something similar to a non-profit like ICANN, in that the board drawing up the standards for the format won't be acting out of self-interest to eliminate competition. (Something Microsoft is famous for.) Or, a Crown corporation like CBC, where the service is provided by the government to the general public.

I'm trying to think in terms of the longterm ramifications of a technology like this. How will if affect the industry, how will it affect the end-users, and how will it affect the content produces who make use of the distribution network.

Preacher wrote: »

Well in the case of this thread, I wouldn't date this girl, or even remain friends with her. She doesn't seem like a good person, though the OP ain't much better for screwing his best friends girl.

And I don't understand why making a personal choice not to date someone who has cheated on someone is such a bad thing VC, but I don't want to take this any more off topic then it already is. You can date whoever you want, I prefer not to date women who have cheated on previous people they dated and caution others not to do the same. I can't see how that is bad advice considering personally knowing many guys who dated women who cheated and shockingly enough they got cheated on. I know anecdotes does not equal data, but I don't know many people who base their advice purely on data.

I've been there. I won't go so far as saying cheating makes you a bad person. But people have relationship patterns. That's how people are. I hooked up with this girl once, who happened to be cheating on her current boyfriend for a few days, until she decided I was her boyfriend. We were doing great until six or eight months later, when she did the same thing to me. I'm a statistic. :lol:

Dude's where's the classic trick in this thread

Just tell her you found a note for her in some appropriate place (piece of paper with her name written on it on her front door or something). You then try to fish it out of your pocket, and it's not there.

When she starts asking questions about it, be calm and utterly vague. It had her name on it. Looked like a guys writing.

Then, when she asks you if you read the note, make sure you're looking at her face. If she has something she's hiding, she'll be very very concerned. If not, you're probably okay.

So you're saying that the 400 hours you've logged on your cart have been consecutive, and your DS has never been turned off?

No, it means that I can't edit the save portion of my cart. The games use the save portion, not me.

The large memory portion of my cart is for roms, not save files

I wouldn't have mentioned my game being on a cart if I could have avoided it... This forum isn't exactly rom friendly. You'll be glad to know I actually do own a copy of the game though.

What is it used for?

I do imagine it's purpose was to protect the glans of the penis from incidental environmental damage, sunburn that sort of thing. As it stands it is a handy masturbation aid at the minimum.

But its already erect anyway?
Whatever.
I say its vestigal because it was useful once and is not anymore, because there are millions of useful devices that are used by nearly all males in the world for protecting their wang. These devices are called pants. In case these fail many wear backup devices called underpants.
Therefore DarkPrimus, you are the dipshit.

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU!?

The parents feel like it? Eliminating a hygiene issue from the kid's life entirely at the cost of a temporary bit of pain that they will never remember or care about unless their minds unhinge later in life?

Also cutting a baby's ear lobe off would be causing an unattractive deformity to a highly visible part of the kid that would negatively impact them for the rest of their life to no gain whatsoever.

A lip ring... if it stays in for a long time might make the baby's lip grow weird? I don't know, who gives a rat's ass?

Are you unwilling to understand that there's not a 0% risk on circumcisions?

It is SURGERY that is medically UNNECESSARY. In any other case you would agree that is a bad thing, in this case , for some reason, you will not.

So I will assume you'll take this stance for a person with a deformed 3rd arm or a dead twin connected to the childs body? Because it doesn't detract from the kids abilities it just makes it physically strange. It could be considered UNNECSSARY!

You are absolutely, unequivocally wrong.

Because holy shit, according to you, child abuse doesn't exist.

When kids get evolved into smarter beings from the start and can write a lenghty thesus then we'll start talking.

In this thread, Ketchum_Ash reveals he doesn't understand evolution and believes kids don't deserve rights.

So, kids should have all of the same rights that adults do? The right to the same choices, etc?

Now Fallout swoops in to K_A's defense because hey, that means he can disagree with me some more!

K_A literally stated that children do not deserve rights until they are able to comprehend said rights. We're not talking about specific rights, here. We're talking rights in general.

Ok so you gave rights to children. Right? Right.

So now that armed 5 year old shoots his sibiling and parents, because hey, he owned a gun because thats his right!

So will you be the one to start handing guns out because he in America it a right for anyone to have guns correct?

If a woman has consensual sex and becomes pregnant and there is no threat to her life, she should carry the child to term and give it up to adoption. Mother and father off the hook for caring for the child. I think it is preferable to preserve life when there is no consequence other than an inconvience in 9 months of someone's life. If the mother is danger I see no reason to stop an abortion, because the baby is threatening her and she has a right to protect herself. Period.

"An inconvenience"?

She can't eat or drink the things she might like to. She can't participate in the physical activities she used to, even if it's her hobby - or her job. Her career might be jeopardized anyway, as her bosses might feel she doesn't now have the time for more duties at a promotion or handling a new client. At best she'll be puking every morning for a while, feel huge and uncomfortable, and either have her vagina tear or her great big belly cut open - at worst she might suffer other health problems, such as vision damage. Hopefully she doesn't like reading, or have computer work to do! It's possible she'll also suffer from post-partum depression, and might have trouble getting her life back on track, even if the baby's placed with an adoption agency. Her entire body gets co-opted for 9 months to provide life support for a life she never wanted.

Oh, and that baby? Hopefully he or she actually gets placed with a loving family. But there's a metric fuckton of unwanted children with agencies throughout the country. Too bad for the kid if she isn't white and healthy, too. Good luck finding a forever home then!

Fuck your "inconvenience", and fuck you too. A woman's body belongs to her, not to you and not to the fetus and not to the government.

Getting hit by a car has all of the same above affects.

I can define my parameters as I see fit. In this case, you can't get around the fact that I believe it to be a baby and try to argue the facts he listed.. Read that again. YOU CAN'T GET AROUND THE FACT THAT I CONSIDER IT A BABY. You want to debate it's not a baby? Fine, do that.

Here's the point.

You believe it to be a baby. Why? Well, we don't know. You just justify it by saying "I believe it to be a baby, end of discussion." Your entire argument then stems from this belief.

So, in other words, we're supposed to change standing law, and probably make people criminals, all because of your unsubstantiated belief.

Fuck. You. And fuck the high horse you rode in on. When you can defend your keystone point with something more than "well, that's what I believe", then maybe I'll listen.

User: The Dundas

Message to User:

Don't post in H/A anymore ever again. Seriously.

Original Post:

Kittens are bad news. A few months ago 2 sister kittens roamed our backyard for awhile. One day, we decided to bring them into our home, and get them out of that sick place people call 'outside'. Well, with much trial and error we caught them, and beat them into submission. With billy clubs. Not really, but we caught them. Well, a couple weeks went by and we got the paperwork and the shots and all that kitten stuff that doctors decide to charge a ton of money for. So after all that was said and done, we had some kittens. I bonded quickly with the Siamese one. She would jump on my lap when I was browsing lame forums, and I would pet her till she purred into a deep sleep.

**Forward several weeks**

After we had the cats for awhile, they began peeing on things. Pillows and piles of clothes on the floor mainly. Well we tried correcting them, and for awhile it worked. There was no pee, and for that, we were greatful. Eventually though, it started again, this time, it was worse. I think they might have stopped peeing in the house for that period of time on purpose, just to catch me off guard with what they were going to do next.

After a long day, I decide to call it a night, and go to bed. My bed is a bunkbed, with the top bunk used mainly for laundry storage and other stuff, and the cats would often climb up there and sleep. Well, my pajamas are on the top bunk on that particular night, and when I pull them down kinda fast off the bunk to put them on, a large number of cat droppings fly off with them. Some of them bounce off my chest, others land on my bed. I sit there, like any person in my situation would do, and think: "Should I find these cats in the house and beat them, or should I just forget about it?" I chose the latter, which later turned out to be a bad choice, and you'll read why as soon as I start a new paragraph.

A few days later, I absentmindedly leave my door ajar and head to class. While I am in class, apparantly the cats decide to have another shit party on my top bunk, which turned out to be the exclusive club for cats who shit on their owners clothes. Well my mom goes to grab a shirt off my top bunk, and a single piece of cat shit falls to the ground. My stepdad was present for this, and he looks at my mom, and she looks at him. They are both thinking the same thing: "Our 19 year old son shit his pants."

When I get home later that day, they sit me down and talk to me. They don't come right out and say it, so for awhile I'm thinking that they are referring to something else, of a less embarrassing nature. When the thought of me shitting my pants comes out in the open, I deny it, and blame it on the cats, saying that they did the same thing last week. Well, they finally claim to believe me, but I could see in their eyes that they so badly wanted me to have shit my pants, so they could try to be parents and have me wear diapers or something. I don't wanna think of the sick therapy shit they would have me succumb to. Well anyways, we all three walk to my room, and my mom pulls some more clothes down. Having previous experience with the malleability of cat shit, I step back, and watch as my mom is rained upon by hard cat excrement. She screams, while I hold back laughter.

I see no reason to continue this story. The moral is: "Kill those fucking cats, before you find yourself opening an umbrella while cat shit rains upon you."

You can thank me later.

That is such an assinine comment. To take a very simple example: The house I am renting for $1450 a month would probably sell for $750k-$900k. How is this possible (and indeed a common occurance around here)? Easy, the house was bought by my landlord in the late 90s when it was only worth about 150-200k.

If your landlord thought he could sell that house for $750K, he would obviously not be renting it to you for $1450 a month. What he paid for the house is completely irrelevant.

If he won that house and all associated maintenance and taxes in a lottery, would he rent it to you for free?

Spoiler:

No.

There are two possibilities here:
a) Your landlord doesn't understand the market value of this asset and you are reaping the profits of his ignorance. Landlords this incompetent are quickly eliminated in housing markets. Only the sharp ones stick around and grow.

b) You have no idea what the house you rent could be sold for right now.

Ask yourself, what's the more likely explanation?

Or, alternatly c) He intends to move back from SoCal late next year and thus wants to keep hold of the property you disgusting little prick. I am aware of the value based on several similar properties that have sold in the recent past. Hell, not 100 feet down the sidewalk a tiny townhome just went for $516,000.


Now shut the fuck up and stay out of conversations which you are whoefully unprepared to understand.

I think the main issue is that women seem to be more susceptible to it physically. Female sexual pleasure seems to be more sensitive to emotional states, whether the reason is physical or psychological.

How would you know?

because the bush administration hasn't shown any examples of trying to control the media to keep support of the war?

That is proof of his claims how, exactly?

Well trying to 100 percent prove anything in a war zone is pretty hard. The first casualty of war is truth right?

Point is, there is more evidence that this would be accurate than evidence that it wouldn't.

if it bothers you so much try to disprove it yourself.

I take it you aren't familiar with the concept of the "burden of proof".

Hint: It's on you.

famous last words of a person who is uneducated and uninformed.

just because you're lazy and unwilling to see the facts doesn't mean you should spread your crap opinions over the internet.

I think if somebody has gone to this much trouble to research the death tolls, and compared manifests that they know more about this issue than a troll on pennyarcade.com.

or would you only believe him if there was a picture of the guy with the manifests to prove he actually saw them?

Oddly enough I'm not finding the living conditions an inmate on death row receives in the statistics links. Perhaps you could link it then as I really have no intention of sifting through every statistics page on there to prove your positive.

If you don't want to do the reading, keep your trap shut during the argument.

Besides, this is getting off topic.

Because that's not how it works here? You say death row inmates receive better treatment than the average prisoner. You've put forward a claim which means that in this forum at least you're expected to back it up with some sort of evidence. If you'd like an example of this Hacksaw did an excellent demonstration of proving his claim.

http://www.usdoj.gov/jmd/budgetsummary/btd/1975_2002/2002/html/page117-119.htm

If you don't want to, or in some cases, can't read, the average cost per a year per a prisoner in a federal facility was roughly $25,000.00 in 2003. Easy enough to understand.

Let's compare it to what it cost to keep someone in a maximum security prison, where death row inmates would be sent until execution. Estimates range from $50,000.00 a year (http://www.post-gazette.com/scrutiny/day2.asp) to $75,000.00 a year (http://www.prodeathpenalty.com/DP.html#D.Cost). As the article from the Post-Gazette indicates, there is no absolute definite figure on what is spent on an inmate in maximum security per a year. Additionally, actual numbers will vary state to state, and from year to year. I could start listing reports going state to state, but that's redundant and I'm tired.

Now, I’m no math major, but $50,000 > $25,000. That’s about double for an inmate in a federal maximum security prison as compared to your average prisoner in a federal facility. If you can’t accept that, then either post your own evidence, or suck my cock.

Hardly subtle. But while I'm tempted to agree, I just don't see who would benefit from it. Aside from having a scapegoat, what do the corporations that run this country gain from blowing the whistle on their own outsourced labor? Not to mention complicating their access to a market of over a billion potential customers, seeing as China would undoubtedly retaliate with their own protectionist policies.

Well, when China invades Taiwan and starts World War 3, America will have that extra bit of motivation to fight harder.

You're a stupid fuck with no understanding of the history between Taiwan, China, or the United States, or the economical binds between them that would send both China and the US into economic disaster if the two went to war.


Anyways, I think the Olympics will be a great thing for China. Not only for the tourism boost, of course, but also because you're forced to behave when the whole world is watching. After all, that's what happened when South Korea hosted the 1988 olympics.
