as usual, just depends on whose ox is gored... an ox of the 99% ? *yawn* no biggie... ox belongs to the 1% ? OMG-CONSTITUTION-RIGHTS-INVIOLATE-WHO-DO-YOU-THINK-YOU'RE-MESSING-WITH-blahblahblah...
Re: Re: Who the HECK are Gottlieb and Pfeiffer, anyway?
i DON'T thank them: SOMEONE else who didn't have the possessive attitude of these dickheads WOULD HAVE DONE IT 'RIGHT', and when i say 'right', i don't mean whatever idiotic 'high quality' bullshit these guys claim, I MEAN FREE TO DISTRIBUTE... are those idiots going to maintain that feynman would have wanted it done THEIR way, INSTEAD OF SETTING THAT INFORMATION FREE ? ? ? bullshit...
SO WHAT someone makes a 'pirate copy' that has errors, etc, SO FUCKING WHAT: THEN they will 'reject' that pirate copy and go to your super-high quality version, won't they ? ? ?
EXCEPT THEY WON'T, because the 'low' quality will be GOOD ENOUGH for 99% of the people 99% of the time...
YOU GUYS ARE THE ROADBLOCKS, NOT THE FACILITATORS...
no, these kreeps got their talons in something far greater than themselves, and are riding those dead coattails as THEIR EXCLUSIVE JOB, not anyone else's...
...the proof is the over-reaching and immediate repressive instincts... dicks
thank you, anon @3:04... this guy reeks of entitlement and the arrogance of ownership of SOMEONE ELSE'S works, who would admire *what* he was doing to his works, but NOT *HOW* he is doing it...

ahhh, and there's the rub, if not the nub: you can ONLY refer to ______ (fill in the blank) POSITIVELY, NEVER 'negatively' (and there won't be any problem in determining that, either), oh, well there goes free speech as a concept...
here's the thing, IF someone/anyone wants to name THERE THING THAT THEY OWN *WHATEVER* they want to, they should...
baseball team, widget product for sale, restaurant, services, etc, whatever... name it WHATEVER the fuck you want...
THEN, it is up to US -as the public- as to whether we patronize that baseball team/product/restaurant/whatever, based on WHATEVER criteria WE -as individuals and collectively- want to decide upon... you are 'offended' by the name ? (really? i seriously doubt it, but let's pwetend...) okay, don't go to the ballfield, buy the product, eat at the restaurant... seems simple enough to me... EVERYONE has more freedom under this method, only there are those who wish to child-proof the world who will not be happy they can't IMPOSE THEIR MORALS ON EVERYONE ELSE...
@ node: well, by golly, you're richtig ! !! The They (tm) are only trying to re-write the PRESENT... oh, so that's okay, then...
(w-a-i-t a minute, don't the present become the past become his story ? ? ? hmmm, maybe this hasn't been thought all the way through... *snicker*)
all these idiotic so-called 'hate laws', etc, are, well, IDIOTIC: NOT only egregious censorship for no good reason... NOT only striesanding the very stupid crap they are stupidly trying to hide... NOT only giving it some sort of underground legitimacy... BUT also not stopping 'hate'...
HOW the fuck can you stop 'hate', and -something never discussed- WHY THE FUCK would you want to: IT MAKES NO HUMAN SENSE: without hate, there is no love, without the FREEDOM to hate, YOU ARE NOT FREE ! ! !
hate is an emotion, not an action... dog damn, i hates me some idiots, and they are fucking EVERYWHERE...
i've said this before, and i want you to know i am SERIOUS: we -as the 99%- would be BETTER SERVED if we had a retard in the white house... yes, SERIOUSLY...
here's why: 1. i think *most* retards who are still minimally functional, actually have admirable innate morals and ethics which they follow... (scumbag politicians have the morals of psychopaths) 2. the decisions made by the administration go AGAINST the wants and needs of the 99% approximately 99% of the time... EVEN IF we replaced the president with a coin toss, that would increase decisions made in our favor to approximately 50% ! ! ! 3. barring undue influence by said psychopathic political leaders, i think a retard would make decisions to benefit us 99% *MORE* than 50% of the time, maybe even 90-99% ! ! !
when we only have 1% of the decisions going our way, ANYTHING would be better...
i imagine just about any techdirtian is 'too smart' (relatively speaking), and thus will be in the first wave of 'dissidents' to be renditioned to the re-education kamps... its for our own safety, of course...
Re: Re: Re: Re: Only idiots use pods anyway, the coffee SUCKS and is expensive
c'mon, man, don't tell me that for *most* people at work, coffee is a legal means of getting a caffeine fix, taste is secondary... (love the smell, but can't stand the mud water...)
oh great, now all the 'bad guys' have to do is use a pseudonym similar to the names in the directories of the alphabet soup spooks, and they'll be grounded, too ! ! ! that would be delightfully eee-vil, yet just desserts...
oh, one other point that has been discussed here a number of times: thinking that tablets/ereaders might be a good alternative to these scamming publishers, there is just one problem: they are controlling the etextbooks too, and have even WORSE ripoff pricing on them: FULL hardcopy price (SOMETIMES PLUS!) for EVERY COPY... textbook publishers are slime...
