Of course I'm a nut that thinks all information be free and readily available including the salaries of everyone in the US. I always come back to the Catholic Churches fight against Gutenburg…"
East Dallas Matt commented on GNU/Linux Asshole's blog post illegal sharing"Have you watched the movie? The file sharers are didn't give themselves the name 'pirates', content creators started calling them pirates in an effort to vilify them."
GNU/Linux Asshole commented on GNU/Linux Asshole's blog post illegal sharing"I just realized why I was bothered by the way these kids made money, and I think I may have been irrational. It was a gut reaction to seeing parallels between The Pirate Bay and Facebook. Both are mediums for people to share, but there are some…"
GNU/Linux Asshole posted a blog postillegal sharing
It bothers me that the Pirate Bay kids make money off of other people's sharing. The archival and distribution work is all done as an unpaid service by the users of their web site. Profiting from other people's work this way seems wrong. Still, I like those kids.I also worry that the irony of calling themselves "pirates" is getting lost. A lot of people seem to have forgotten that piracy is the practice of attacking and robbing ships at sea. When file sharers call themselves pirates, it's in…See More

GNU/Linux Asshole commented on Captain Snarky's blog post A Call To Action (Yawn) For Stupid Amerikan Dolts Who Don't Know What To Do About The Active Shooter"I guess my fear is that if everybody thought this way, we'd have a lot of well-intentioned, dangerous, trigger-happy heroes.

OK, so I watched some more P&T episodes and found one about how the so-called, "obesity epidemic" is bullshit. Of course, the obesity epidemic is bullshit. Pretty much everything one sees in the media is a load of dog shit. Nothing new there. I can't really deny however that something's going on out there.

So, I don't even know what the fuck I went to the Amazon for in the first place! It's just that I've always loved adventures (and…
