Yep, those kids will be ready to go to college and then into the work place and get them one of those high paying jobs asking “Do you want to super size that?”… IDIOTS!
Slashdot | National ID Cards Mandated in the US, If You’re Under 50
Well I ain’t planning on ever boarding another plane and I’m already over the big 5 0 so the DHS can kiss my arse! These folks are out of control and need to have a muzzle installed asap. 👿
Techdirt: Harvard Bookstore Claims Book Prices Are Copyrighted
The first time I saw this I thought it was pretty stupid and that some one was working on their minimum wage god complex, then as more and more facts emerged I find that it’s store policy all the way to the top.
Now that’s STUPID! The president of the company should know better, and if he/she/it doesn’t, the person that was shown the door due to this policy needs to have their lawyers point it out. Of course I suspect that all the internet publicity this little incident has generated will help in that regard. Should also help keep folks from buying ANYTHING there, which will allow the store keep all of their “intellectual property” for themselves…
Copyright office should free the database of copyrights! – Boing Boing
Typical bureaucratic BS. And YES the database should be free, as we the people have paid for every bit of it. ASSHATS!
Linux Today – SCO Blames Linux For Bankruptcy Filing
“SCO Group CEO Darl McBride says competition from the open source Linux operating system was a major reason why the company was forced to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Friday.”
—
I think it had more to do with Mr. McBride attacking the FOSS community and trying to make everyone using unix or linux pay license fees for something that SCO didn’t own. But then again maybe I’m just not looking at it with his magic glasses. ASSHAT!
dreamstate – Currently ranting about PC World
A new chapter in the saga of the faulty hinge mount. Looks like PC World only hires folks with bad attitudes. The Linux voids the warranty line about hardware problems is stupid (and I suspect illegal) but it seems to be company policy with these folks whether their head office claims otherwise or not.
I’m waiting for the video. 😉
PC World denies Linux warranty void – ZDNet UK
Yep, reinstalling that crap Window$ bloatware will sure-nuff be required to fix that broken hinge mount. IDIOTS!
Techdirt: RIAA Finally Pays Legal Fees On Mis-Filed Suit… But Manages To Screw That Up As Well
Guess they don’t listen any better than they accuse. Stupid, greedy, asshats…
Federal agency rejects enhanced oversight of genetic tests
In a decision that places cost concerns above public health, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has rejected a petition filed by a coalition of health and consumer groups calling for the agency to strengthen standards for genetic testing laboratories. Citing cost concerns, the agency told petitioners in a recent letter that it would not pursue the safety standards.

Considering the emphasis that the current administration places on money this move doesn’t surprise me. Though it does piss me off a bit more than I already was at their total disregard for the future health and well being of the folks that were stupid enough to put them in power in the first place.
SCO CEO McBride Speaks Out On Novell, Finances, And Groklaw — SCO — InformationWeek
Every time I read an article that quotes McBride I wonder what color the sky is in his world, and what happened to his flapper…
Science Fiction Writers of America abuses the DMCA – Boing Boing
First the RIAA then the MPAA and now the SFWA are abusing the DMCA. This is a good read about a bad problem that isn’t going away and in fact seems to be getting a LOT worse.
The one good thing that I noted as I finished reading the article is that Boing Boing now has comments! At last!
Several of the comments about this latest atrocity are by Sci-Fi writers and for the most part they aren’t at all pleased by the actions of the SFWA. Only one (at the time I read this prior to posting) thought it was a good thing but the guy didn’t give his full name so who knows if it was an actual author or just a troll.
As much as I hate lawyers, I think the authors that have been affected by this stupid act need to file suit against the SFWA and the person who caused this. Don’t know if it will do any good but it might add a bit more fuel to the anti-DMCA movement.
Groklaw – Sweden’s SIS Declares OOXML Vote Invalid – Will Change Vote from Yes to Abstain
Seems that Micro$loth’s vote fixing hijinks has caused Sweden to reexamine the process and declare the vote invalid. I don’t think they are winning any friends with this stupid and costly behavior.
If they would just put the money that they waste on crap like this into making products that are simple, effective and generally usable then they wouldn’t have to lie, misrepresent and bribe their way into getting folks to buy and use their products.
Groklaw – Microsoft Memo to Partners in Sweden Surfaces: Vote Yes for OOXML
And once again Micro$loth proves how they prefer to buy their way through life rather than get off their collective arses and actually produce a good solid product that folks will WANT to use. Asshats…
Some days you got to wonder what kind of world it would be “without” lawyers… 🙁
Slashdot | TorrentSpy Must Preserve Data In RAM For MPAA
It would be so nice if judges on tech cases had at least SOME idea what the hell they were dealing with. Idiots…
FSF – Microsoft cannot declare itself exempt from the requirements of GPLv3
That’s just not the way licensing works. And Microsloths legal department knows this. Idiots.
Techdirt: Australian Internet Porn Filter Cracked By Kid; Politicians Get The Wrong Message
Things like this make me wonder if all politicians have their brains removed when going into office. Stupid, stupid, stupid…
Groklaw – Novell’s Motion in Limine No. 3 to Preclude SCO’s New Theory of Apportionment
Looks like SCO is still up to it’s old tricks.
