The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)
DRM on Mactel Machines?

—

Read the article. Get pissed off. Or even more pissed off at Apple and DRM, if that’s possible.

I have posted about being a bit upset with Apple about this before. I have not updated to Tiger because of the growing inclusion of DRM into every aspect of the os that they possibly could.

Come on people! It’s hard enough now to open a document if the extension is not what the OS thinks that program should be allowed to handle.

What will it be like under “trusted computing”?

Have a bit change in a document due to “cosmic rays” or bit rot on the cd or dvd or even hard drive that it’s stored on, and depending on what bit it is, you AIN”T gonna get to open it at all, cause “something’s” not right. STUPID! The caps ain’t big enough!

Good bye Apple. Been nice working on your platform lo these many years. But there is always a breaking point and you just crossed mine. Neither you nor any of your platforms developers will get another penny of my vote!

I’ll be reloading my iBook(s) with linux soon. And you can bet my next computer(s) won’t have that cute little apple on the lid.

It’ll be a penguin…

Hey, Joey!

Been nice knowing you (through your blog), guy. These Quick-Boys Movers sound like a bunch of Ruskie Mafioso or maybe thats what they want you to think. Hope that it doesn’t get to the guns and lawyers point…

Boing Boing: RIAA: We didn’t take down RPGFilms.net

—

So they didn’t take the site down but they don’t know ANYTHING else.

Wonder if this is another case of white granny downloading hip-hop without a computer? or if they are all really as stupid and unimformed as the Q and A makes them (her) sound?

Guess that’s just a rhetorical question. After all the article is talking about the RIAA. That’s the folks that take all the money for the musicians work and spend it suing the bands fans, isn’t it?

U.S. and Australia OK secret climate pact
The secret pact was designed to reduce greenhouse emissions, but not harm development or economic growth.

This sounds way too much like the double secret suspension in “Animal House”. What a bunch of horse hockey, or it would be if it wasn’t our elected leaders (?) pulling this shit… 🙁

Vehicle barrier allowed to go ahead | www.azstarnet.com ®

—

But this isn’t turning into a police state. Nope. This isn’t at all like the Berlin wall or the Great Wall of China. This is just a 123 mile long concrete barrier to keep drug smugglers out that the taxpayers get to foot the bill for.

Idiots! But I forgot, we now have Albert E. in charge so anything goes…

RAH you predicted “the crazy years” only too well…

Slashdot | Unsealed SCO Email Reveals Linux Code is Clean

—

So they knew all along. I had suspected that but am very surprised to find it in unsealed court documents. Guess we now know why they were sealed…

I hope this puts Daryl’s ass in a sling. Maybe there will be a cozy cell waiting somewhere for this SOB that has put on this media circus and wasted all the courts time and taxpayers money on this frivolous lawsuit that they knew was bullshit! As did most of the linux community but I just kept waiting for them to produce something anyway.

GROKLAW
The Stupidest Lawsuit Since the World Began Tuesday, July 12 2005 @ 07:14 AM EDT

I know. You think you already know the stupidest lawsuit since the world began, and indeed I once described it that way to a journalist myself. Then recently, we saw litigation efforts that knocked it down as king of that mountain. But now I have the winner, for sure.

This is truly stupid. Even for the french. I mean it’s even worse than the english food thing…

Freestar Media, LLC
Press Release

For Release Monday, June 27 to New Hampshire media
For Release Tuesday, June 28 to all other media

Weare, New Hampshire (PRWEB) Could a hotel be built on the land owned by Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter? A new ruling by the Supreme Court which was supported by Justice Souter himself itself might allow it. A private developer is seeking to use this very law to build a hotel on Souter’s land.
—
Amen!!! I think this plan of attack needs to be instituted against all of the Justices that voted for this supremely STUPID bill, as well as the lobbiests that pushed for it and the businessmen behind the lobbiests.
