I meant a special one for Flagg and Bakustra.

so they can coordinate better, like they usually do.

Is YB having a seizure?

pretty sure all his posting since 2004 is one long cluster of strokes

Struck the prohibition on using the report button to flag debate rule violations. Just to make the policy clear: you can use the report button on posts where another member is flagrantly violating the debating rules. Do not abuse this function. The staff will generally give users the benefit of the doubt in marginal cases, but using the report button trivially may result in disciplinary action.

omg i betcha comedy will eventually come from this

[adr-admin]

err assuming anyone actually reads the announcements LOL

Why do i get the feeling in that uk council thread that you can't be a proper athiest without condeming all religious stuff as loud as you can.

Are you going to sit here and say that Windows 3.1's source code should be locked in a vault for the rest of eternity just because Microsoft owns it?

baffalo sets the bar for stupid pro-piracy arguments

fucking christ

[starku]

I'm starting to see why people call them 'freetards'

[Flagg]

I can't make out what his argument even is beyond "It's old".

Does copyright and stuff not expire after a certain number of years?

[Zod]

Does copyright and stuff not expire after a certain number of years?

The current lifespan of copyright right now is effectively "as long as the owner's alive and then some".

the stupid part of baffalo's argument is that he's claiming if someone owns something it should be made available to the public just because they're not using it anymore

[Aaron]

I must have been thinking of patents.

But I'm starting to understand the "freetard" label.

[Dooey Jo]

man it would be pretty sweet if the source code of old games and shit was available freely

but i hear google thinks it's awesome when people use their trademark as a casual verb, so that eventually anyone can set up their own "googling" service

[Dooey Jo]

basically what it boils down to is that things must change somehow so that rich people should be allowed free access to entertainment

but not change so much that poor people should be allowed free access to food

i wonder who will produce the entertainment as profit margins drop

(ps it will be the poor people)

[Mr.Coffee]

Oh fuck... Shep is trolling the Terminal Lance forums over the Marine Sniper's using the SS logo thing. NukeBoy vs Jarheads. Should be entertaining depending on how far Shep takes it.

[Oxymoron]

A single disabled postman against a bunch of veteran marines ? Sounds like an even fight...

[Veef]

[Veef]

i can't understand his post

[Civil War Man]

A ship is being named after Gabrielle Giffords.

OMG NAVY IS RUINED FOREVER

[adr-admin]

i'm used to seeing 'freetard' in open source contexts where it is less about copyright and more about shit

but yeah on this perception of harm thing i can see how it can be bad

but someday i hope to see hte opportunity to throw it back at them

[adr-admin]

If public prayer is such a minor issue, then I'm sure the religious people would not be too upset over losing it. If they do, then that puts the lie to the idea that it's a minor issue.

but different people have different perceptions of what is minor

omg

[adr-admin]

when i was young and my heart was an open book

i used to say "live and let live"

you know i did
you know i did

[adr-admin]

LIVE AND LET DIE

[Aaron]

Oh fuck... Shep is trolling the Terminal Lance forums over the Marine Sniper's using the SS logo thing. NukeBoy vs Jarheads. Should be entertaining depending on how far Shep takes it.

I wish he would just fuck off and stop polluting the board.
