I'll bet that you have a job that you really love. In this case stuff is a win-win scenario -- you earn money by doing something you enjoy, and you use that money to buy stuff that you enjoy. Most people are not in this situation. They ha

I've had this discussion before on a different thread (wherein I didn't get downvoted nearly as much but hey). Yes I realize I can fix the font size (and in this case I just pressed Readability). And yet that is a terrible excuse for the

The problem with this idea is that it while the author proposes that "Those who fail to comply should be liable to detention until the cops who picked them up figure out if they're really true red, white, and blue Americans, no matter whet

Hulu is an established platform, HTML5 is an upcoming spec that doesn't do what Hulu would need it to do. As cute as your post sounds (and we all love a pithy inversion), it's just wrong.

Is there something in what they said that you disagree with?

And I suppose you would have had us write down the Bill of Rights after we lose our freedom of speech and freedom of the press? I mean, the government might not want to limit that right? Your argument is BS. (the point isn't about the

I don't think it would be hard at all. Privacy could be the new anti-virus.
