Re: Re: If you've tried Kim Dotcom's new Mega service, you know that apart from solid design and an impressive amount of free storage, it's pretty underwhelming.
I do agree it is kind of plain, but it is very young yet.
"not revolutionary" Ahh yes, nothing new here, I agree.
I do look forward to see how it evolves though. For now I have uploaded more videos of my kid that are irreplaceable. Just in case my house burns down.
I know PPL like to try and claim it was IT that helped Barry win. Maybe is was the cocky half-assed smile Mitt had throughout the whole campaign. Ya think? Maybe it was he came off a just another douche bag Republican. Maybe Bush's legacy has left a bad taste in American's mouths.
When I stumbled on TD the open comments is what kept me here. I commented as an AC a few times, and I will even go as far to say that the openness made me want to join and register. It is rare to find such openness, and thats what sets TD above other blogs.
Do trolls suck? Sometimes. Some of our resident trolls do provide an insight on the maximalist point of view. Insults aside it is a view into the way they think and it is import to show PPL that those views do exist by (i am giving the benefit of the doubt here) regular people, not just corporations or those who stand to benefit.
The night is black, without a moon.
The air is thick and still.
The vigilantes gather on
The lonely torchlit hill.
Features distorted in the flickering light,
Faces are twisted and grotesque.
Silent and stern in the sweltering night,
The mob moves like demons possessed.
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right,
Confident their ways are best.
The righteous rise
With burning eyes
Of hatred and ill-will.
Madmen fed on fear and lies
To beat and burn and kill.
They say there are strangers who threaten us,
Our immigrants and infidels.
They say there is strangeness to danger us
In our theaters and bookstore shelves,
That those who know what's best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves.
Quick to judge,
Quick to anger,
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear walk hand in hand.
Finnish Parliament voted today that any citizen-proposed bill will now need 550,000 signatures within a period of six weeks to force a vote. Back to you Mike...
Just for the record, when Siemens sold their handset business to BenQ they didn't sell them their essential patents but rather just gave them a license. The patents they did sell to BenQ are not that great. We looked at them ourselves when they were for sale. I guess you guys felt differently and bought them. We are not concerned about them at all. My advice is to take a look at our patent portfolio before you make a final decision here.
I'm glad he died. Yeah thats right I said it. What an asshole. It just goes to show beyond a shadow of a doubt, that patents are being used as a tool to threaten and stifle competition. And when put into a tool's hands it will be abused. When will this craziness stop?

Just curious
Because, ya know, no one ever thought of putting a USB key in things.

I bet she has no clue how hypocritical she looks.
BTW... I had that idea a long time ago. The key would have had a bunch of drinking games & games that go along with drinking on it.
Oh well, guess I should have gotten to the patent office first.
