[quote who="Jafo" reply="39" id="3059132"]No-one else is culpable as it is the Captain's responsibility to ENSURE his orders/directions are FOLLOWED.[/quote] Ja, aber es gibt a difference between theory und praxis . I wouldn't have twitted you on the point except for your linking state presidents to ship captains. That sort of comparison disses all state presidents because ships at sea are fundamentally simpler

Banned for inserting things without banning anything.

[quote who="roflmfaoo" reply="8" id="3058979"]Need i say more ?[/quote] Speaking as a staunch critic of modern IP regimes, I most heartily say, "Yes." I love good rhetoric more than the average bear, but screeds like the one you apparently copied from someone claiming to speak for Pirate Bay don't do much for the long-term argument among folks who want work within law to get rid of laws that make no sense. That screed notes several interesting and important points

DaveRI, I don't know whether to thank you or slap you for sharing the news about that case. I spotted it in progress and expected this result. Can't blame the Supremes very much, the flaw is with the Berne Convention and our Congress. From the CBS piece: "But Justice Stephen Breyer, writing for himself and Justice Samuel Alito, said that an important purpose of a copyright is to encourage an author or artist to produce new work. 'The statute before us, however, does not en
Banned because you've obviously spent aeons in a stasis field and have no idea what's going on these days.
Banned because you jungen posting from GC2 should know a Niven joke when you see one. One hour under the tasp for you, followed by no more .

Gandhialf, one of the challenges of 'freedom' in a pluralist democracy like the U.S. is that narrow business interests can have a disproportionate role in shaping public policy, especially when matters get technical or complicated. So-called intellectual property is a prime example of this. The IP establishment has had remarkable success in both extending the length of their rights far beyond what is reasonable and in diverting law enforcement resources to protecting their inc
Banned because three legs are best, and so is keeping your brain in your torso instead of an easily detached appendage.
Banned because you could always just give him the mop and walk away. Carefully, so you don't slip on the various plasms.
Thanks. It's not "my end," but the "end" of a few machines on a large campus that uses roaming profiles and at least attempts to support OS versions reaching back to XP. Not sure whether the boxes in question were 'native' Win7, but I'll do my best to report back here if I learn anything that seems useful. Very glad to see signs that keyboard shortcuts weren't generally phased out with Win7 on account of its efforts to support the smeary-screen touch interface stuf
Thanks for the prompt replies. Perhaps there is some local (roaming profile?) thing that means that the Windows logo key is ignored in some contexts. If I can discuss this with my local IT authorities without offending them, I'll report on the how and why of my inability to use Windows+M to minimize everything when I'm trying to use a computer in front of a classroom.
Banned for the Nth boring version of using forum format for trite bans. And that definitely includes my questionable-PopCulture-cousin Fuzzy.
Banned because I have a psuedo-professorial affection for the lad and you might seriously upset him with such directly sexual typing. Besides, the little bitch has been far from humping my metaphysical or intellectual legs, much less a metaphorical or physical one. It's one of the traits that makes me think he's probably a very rewarding student for the folks actually obliged to score his intellectual merits. I'm just patiently waiting for him to score some advanced degree
Thanks to the Great Recession, I've escaped a direct business need to adopt Win7 and also have not earned enough disposable income to try playing with it myself. Market conditions have also seriously suppressed my interest in reading about said OS, so I'm left in some kind of fogie-newbie land and hope Stardockia can answer a basic question about generational change in the MS OS family. I've had access to some Win7 rigs in a workplace where I can still earn as a contractor
Banned because the forum sprawl 'non-bug' buffer stuff has been seriously asyncrhonous recently, and because I finally saw a pic that beautifully illustrates why I like to mock Scoutdog for putting a backwards baseball cap on his nekkid cartoon brain.
Banned for the irony value, you leveraging, re-using, expropriating imperialist you.
Shenanigans ban. Bring out the brooms!
[quote who="AdmiralRevan" reply="40300" id="3056282"]Banned for continuing the fight without me. ...[/quote] Banned because leadership has failed if it depends on the life of a single leader. Plus, it sounds really uppity to type things like that.
Banned for wanting to deprive first-world companion animals of their fair share of luxury.
Banned for making me realize that there is probably at least one campy dominatrix service in the world, maybe in London.
Banned because this thread certainly could use some more camp. And maybe a disco ball.

Banned because you seem to have taken your backwards vitamins this morning. Romney is a classic example of how wealth can buy power. Do you think he got to be Mass. Gov. because he looks like a Ken doll?
