  on DailyDirt: No Bones About It
  I know for sure KFC had boneless chicken (in some form) on their menu much earlier than 2013. I used to eat their Colonel's Strips meals as a kid in the mid-to-late '90s.

  And then they go bawling to Congress about how other countries are more ahead of the game than we are and we need even tougher, more oppressive copyright laws.
  
  I'm still waiting for them to declare copyrights to be permanent...

  Not all of those technologies are illegal. Apple has a patent on a technology called Blackout, which remotely disables cell phone cameras within a certain radius of it being deployed.

  That or government-sponsored troll. I remember a few years back one now-derelict blog was plagued by commenters posting messages like My Name Here's, and the owner ran whois on the posters' IP addresses and he found that all of them were connected to DHS.

  It's still name-calling and name-calling is always uncalled for. You can disagree with someone without resorting to outright insults.

  They swapped the whole cell pertussis with an acellular version.

  Um, yeah, they can, and are.
  I don't know where you live, but here in the US kids are given the Hepatitis B vaccine within a few hours of birth.

  on German Court Tells YouTube To Change 'Content Blocked' Notice After GEMA Complains About Its Hurt Feelings
  Should be fairly easy since German music is fairly difficult to find here in the States.

  I've been boycotting them for 4 years straight, and by the looks of it for the rest of my life.

  If that's not blackmail. I don't know what is.

  on TPP IP Chapter Leaked, Confirming It's Worse Than ACTA
  No, it won't. They'll search your house, your car, your friends', family's and neighbors' houses, the list goes on.
  
  Of course they'll make the body search as humiliating as possible.

  Re: Copyright > human life?

  on TPP IP Chapter Leaked, Confirming It's Worse Than ACTA
  It's well established that the parties who drafted this treaty don't give a rat's ass about human life. Back in 2003 they murdered a guy whom they accused of bootlegging DVDs in a storage locker.

  on Renault Introduces DRM For Cars
  They used to. My mom had one back in the 70s she called "Petit Rouge."
  I think they pulled out of the US market sometime around 1982.
  
  IIRC Renault is co-owned by Nissan now. From what I can see the car looks strikingly similar to the Nissan Leaf that's for sale in the US. I've heard no word on Nissan using the same tactic with batteries for the Leaf...

  I think your comment misfired. This thread is about a would-be Colorado politician abusing copyright law to silence his critics.

  on TSA Security Theater Makes Unwilling Co-Star Out Of 3-Year-Old With Rare Medical Condition
  Ladies and gentlemen, this is why I no longer fly.
  Yes I've been cut off from family members for it, but it's a worthy sacrifice to preserve my civil liberties.

  on Educational Exercises Aimed At School Shootings, Drug Abuse Result In Terrorized Students And K-9 Attacks
  Even that won't help. I went to a tiny private school for HS and we did random unscheduled drug sweeps and drills.
