| DaemonFC | apparently | Apr 18 17:40 |
| DaemonFC | satipera: I liked that Visa commercial where they ran his card to make sure it was approved before reviving him in the emergency room :) | Apr 18 17:42 |
| satipera | can you copyright names | Apr 18 17:42 |
| DaemonFC | no | Apr 18 17:42 |
| DaemonFC | only in relation to their use on a product or in a business | Apr 18 17:42 |
| satipera | i was joking, like the visa add | Apr 18 17:42 |
| DaemonFC | they didn't use my full name though anyway :P | Apr 18 17:43 |
| satipera | they have good lawyers :) | Apr 18 17:43 |
| satipera | i will have to look it up but i am pretty sure some company in the uk copyrighted a colour in relation to their business | Apr 18 17:44 |

| DaemonFC | satipera: Little Caesars can't have the toga guy say "Pizza Pizza!" in Canada | Apr 18 17:49 |
| satipera | ha ha | Apr 18 17:49 |
| DaemonFC | cause there's a pizza chain there called Pizza Pizza | Apr 18 17:49 |
| satipera | what is that saying, reality is stranger than fiction | Apr 18 17:50 |
| DaemonFC | satipera: We're being slowly invaded by some Canadian coffee chain too | Apr 18 17:51 |
| DaemonFC | but then again, it was mostly bought out by Americans years ago | Apr 18 17:51 |
| satipera | the swine how dare they | Apr 18 17:51 |
| DaemonFC | so we're invading ourselves! | Apr 18 17:51 |
| satipera | ah a civil war so much more civilised | Apr 18 17:51 |

| DaemonFC | satipera: schestowitz keeps talking about the city of Detroit using Eminent Domain to buy homes and level them | Apr 18 17:53 |
| DaemonFC | but it's not affecting the middle class or the rich | Apr 18 17:53 |
| DaemonFC | they'rre basically evicting poor people | Apr 18 17:53 |
| satipera | eminent? | Apr 18 17:53 |
| DaemonFC | eminent domain = The government can buy your property and you can't say no | Apr 18 17:54 |
| satipera | is that compulsory purchase? | Apr 18 17:54 |
| satipera | yes | Apr 18 17:54 |
| DaemonFC | they have to "compensate you" with a "fair price" | Apr 18 17:54 |
| DaemonFC | same thing | Apr 18 17:54 |
| satipera | i get the impression they are going to use that land as flood plane in the future | Apr 18 17:55 |
| DaemonFC | you can't challenge it itself in court | Apr 18 17:55 |
| DaemonFC | you can challenge two parts | Apr 18 17:55 |
| satipera | what are they doing with the land | Apr 18 17:55 |
| DaemonFC | 1. The purpose for which they buy it has to be for the "public good" | Apr 18 17:55 |
| DaemonFC | 2. You can challenge the price they paid you. | Apr 18 17:56 |
| satipera | but the market value must be close to agricultural land | Apr 18 17:56 |
| DaemonFC | well, Detroit is apparently just flattening the homes and leaving vacant lots | Apr 18 17:56 |
| satipera | yes detroit is going back to farm land i hear | Apr 18 17:57 |
| DaemonFC | I suspect we'll see golf courses spring up there | Apr 18 17:57 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Apr 18 17:57 |
| DaemonFC | They can't just evict the people for being poor | Apr 18 17:57 |
| satipera | were the government responsible for maintaining the new orleans dykes? | Apr 18 17:57 |
| DaemonFC | but they CAN buy out all the places that poor people live | Apr 18 17:57 |
| DaemonFC | leave only the places they can't afford | Apr 18 17:58 |
| DaemonFC | that'll get rid of them | Apr 18 17:58 |
| DaemonFC | satipera: The Army Corps of Engineers inherited them but did not build them | Apr 18 17:58 |
| satipera | so who had the responsibility? | Apr 18 17:58 |
| DaemonFC | lots of improvised dykes, dams, and levees that the government inherited | Apr 18 17:58 |
| DaemonFC | the California Delta is the biggest and most dangerous | Apr 18 17:59 |
| satipera | legally | Apr 18 17:59 |
| DaemonFC | I wouldn't want to live withing 500 miles of that | Apr 18 17:59 |
| DaemonFC | satipera: The levees creating the Delta were made by farmers using substandard materials almost 100 years ago | Apr 18 18:00 |
| satipera | sounds like an accident waiting to happen | Apr 18 18:00 |
| DaemonFC | one good eathquake could now take out much of California's good farmland and half their water supply | Apr 18 18:00 |
| DaemonFC | because it would draw in salt water if the outer walls collapsed :) | Apr 18 18:00 |
| satipera | i am interested in legal liability ref new orleans | Apr 18 18:00 |
| DaemonFC | Corps of Engineers | Apr 18 18:00 |
| satipera | have they been taken to court | Apr 18 18:01 |
| DaemonFC | satipera: Technically, the Corps should have ripped out the improvised levee system and replaced it with a good one | Apr 18 18:01 |
| DaemonFC | In reality? There was no budget. | Apr 18 18:01 |
| DaemonFC | Congress doesn't hand the money over, nothing you can do | Apr 18 18:01 |
| DaemonFC | so it's really not the fault of the Corps | Apr 18 18:01 |
| satipera | iis it an ongoing legal case? | Apr 18 18:01 |
| DaemonFC | yes | Apr 18 18:02 |
| satipera | what is the state of play | Apr 18 18:02 |
| DaemonFC | it will drag out for years as Congress is now slowly trickling in funds to replace sections of the improvised system | Apr 18 18:02 |
| DaemonFC | the repairs and replacements won't be done for well over 10 years at this rate | Apr 18 18:02 |
| satipera | what about people who lost everything | Apr 18 18:02 |
| DaemonFC | in the mean time, Katrina could happen again | Apr 18 18:02 |
| DaemonFC | still fighting insurance companies | Apr 18 18:03 |
| DaemonFC | who in turn are going bankrupt or asking for federal bailouts | Apr 18 18:03 |
| satipera | fighting insurence companies but why not the government | Apr 18 18:03 |
| satipera | insurance | Apr 18 18:03 |
| DaemonFC | well, the insurance companies wrote the policies that they didn't have the money to cover | Apr 18 18:03 |
| satipera | yes, but if the army were responsible | Apr 18 18:04 |
| DaemonFC | insurance pools work on the assumption that they only need enough cash on hand to pay out X number of claims at once | Apr 18 18:04 |
| DaemonFC | satipera: No budget. | Apr 18 18:04 |
| DaemonFC | and the Federal government has to allow itself to be sued | Apr 18 18:04 |
| DaemonFC | not only that, it's not bound by civil judgments, even by a federal court | Apr 18 18:04 |
| satipera | it strikes me that not having provisioned money for the army to carry out their obligations in negligence | Apr 18 18:05 |
| DaemonFC | undoubtedly so | Apr 18 18:05 |
| satipera | is negligence | Apr 18 18:05 |
| satipera | so you have lawyers | Apr 18 18:05 |
| DaemonFC | question is, what can be done to make them pay the claims and fix the levees now | Apr 18 18:05 |
| satipera | what is government argument for not paying the people who were flooded | Apr 18 18:06 |
| DaemonFC | well, say I decided to sue the federal government, the court agreed to hear the case, and I got a judgment | Apr 18 18:06 |
| DaemonFC | the government can still refuse to pay | Apr 18 18:06 |
| satipera | next step | Apr 18 18:07 |
| DaemonFC | satipera: Don't give them a platform to air their grievances | Apr 18 18:07 |
| DaemonFC | nobody hears them | Apr 18 18:07 |
| DaemonFC | nobody knows | Apr 18 18:07 |
| DaemonFC | never becomes an issue | Apr 18 18:07 |
| DaemonFC | How much of this have you seen on any news channel? | Apr 18 18:07 |
| DaemonFC | None of it | Apr 18 18:07 |
| satipera | so government can shaft residents by not doing what they should then buy their land cheap | Apr 18 18:07 |
| DaemonFC | they could | Apr 18 18:08 |
| satipera | well none of us is surprised | Apr 18 18:08 |
| DaemonFC | satipera: In 2005, Connecticut used eminent domain to force dozens of homeowners to sell their land | Apr 18 18:09 |
| DaemonFC | the neighborhoods destroyed, the homes leveled | Apr 18 18:09 |
| DaemonFC | What stands there today? | Apr 18 18:09 |
| satipera | to what purpose | Apr 18 18:09 |
| DaemonFC | Well, the "public good" was supposed to be "new jobs" from all the company headquarters that moved in and leased the land for $1 per month from the state | Apr 18 18:10 |
| DaemonFC | and what stands there today is....nothing | Apr 18 18:10 |
| DaemonFC | because Pfizer and other companies changed their mind | Apr 18 18:10 |
| DaemonFC | moved over to India instead | Apr 18 18:10 |
| satipera | it does not fill you with civic pride | Apr 18 18:11 |
| DaemonFC | so the government bought the land, destroyed the homes, to give out corporate welfare which fell through, and today there stands the biggest taxpayer-subsidized empty field in US history | Apr 18 18:11 |

| MinceR | old models that haven't bricked themselves one month after the warranty expired? :> | Apr 18 22:57 |

| MinceR | like mine, yes | Apr 18 22:58 |
| schestowitz | Mine have been mostly OK | Apr 18 22:58 |
| schestowitz | headphone jack is broken | Apr 18 22:58 |
| schestowitz | Still some kinks | Apr 18 22:58 |
| schestowitz | I know the workarounds :-) | Apr 18 22:58 |
| MinceR | the only headphone jack that i owned and broke was the one on my Qtek 9100 | Apr 18 22:58 |
| schestowitz | It does what I need it to do | Apr 18 22:59 |
| schestowitz | No SF4 | Apr 18 22:59 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: based on USENET, it's a common problem | Apr 18 22:59 |
| schestowitz | I was far from alone | Apr 18 22:59 |
| MinceR | because HTC didn't realize that making it of thin and flimsy plastic and leaving it stick out there with no support whatsoever is going to lead to breaks | Apr 18 22:59 |
| schestowitz | Tried to fix it myself | Apr 18 22:59 |
| schestowitz | Others did | Apr 18 22:59 |
| MinceR | and the shitty shop i bought it from claimed their warranty doesn't apply to this | Apr 18 22:59 |
| schestowitz | Many archives stuff about it in USENET no | Apr 18 22:59 |
| schestowitz | *now | Apr 18 22:59 |
| MinceR | so i had to have it fixed for money | Apr 18 22:59 |
| MinceR | but really, the circular audio jack should just die | Apr 18 23:00 |
| MinceR | it's a stupid design | Apr 18 23:00 |
| schestowitz | I'm just shocked mine still works | Apr 18 23:00 |
| schestowitz | Rectangle? | Apr 18 23:00 |
| MinceR | it lets the connector rotate, scraping away the metal | Apr 18 23:00 |
| _goblin | I love being right.... | Apr 18 23:00 |
| MinceR | and it randomly shorts the pins to each other | Apr 18 23:00 |
| schestowitz | _goblin: righty ho | Apr 18 23:00 |
| MinceR | there should be some sort of rectangular/modular jack, yes | Apr 18 23:00 |
| _goblin | "Remember Andre how I said two years ago on Microsoft Watch that your words and behaviour would come back to haunt you? Well now maybe they have." | Apr 18 23:00 |

| schestowitz | _goblin: who's Andre? | Apr 18 23:01 |
| schestowitz | Mister Deeee | Apr 18 23:01 |
| _goblin | lol | Apr 18 23:01 |
| schestowitz | Mr. Dean :-) | Apr 18 23:01 |
| _goblin | apparently his name is so big its what attracted all my readers. | Apr 18 23:01 |
| _goblin | thats his latest claim. | Apr 18 23:01 |
| MinceR | correction: and it randomly shorts the pins to each other while [dis]connecting | Apr 18 23:02 |
| schestowitz | _goblin: yes | Apr 18 23:02 |
| schestowitz | He's bigger than MJ | Apr 18 23:02 |
| _goblin | he got very cross with my comment of: "A thought did occur to me, I wonder if Andre Da Costa knows about the freebies? Maybe we will see a PR campaign for Elive from him as he tries to get his hands on a free install?....It’s a tempting thought however do we really want to see comments such as “Its a shame Michael Jackson didn’t live to see Elive” ???? or “It’s a shame Michael Jackson isn’t Elive” | Apr 18 23:02 |
| schestowitz | Spammers started spamming Google and mail boxes with Andre's name | Apr 18 23:02 |
| schestowitz | HArdcore Child-molestation MJ/Andre productions | Apr 18 23:03 |
| MinceR | lol | Apr 18 23:03 |
| MinceR | "MJ isn't Elive" | Apr 18 23:03 |
| _goblin | yes he is! | Apr 18 23:03 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: he's the kid in their screenshot | Apr 18 23:03 |
| schestowitz | The elive lead dev puts the Prodigy from IBM (freckled kid) in his demos | Apr 18 23:04 |
| _goblin | I wonder how much he "donates" for that. | Apr 18 23:04 |
| schestowitz | BTW, that kid is now an adult and IBM made a new ad with him for LD | Apr 18 23:04 |
| _goblin | and the Angelina Jolie picture. | Apr 18 23:04 |
| MinceR | child molestation is now left to the catholics. | Apr 18 23:04 |
| _goblin | Mind you, its almost worth the 15 quid registration just for that Angelina Jolie backdrop..... | Apr 18 23:05 |
| schestowitz | _goblin: maybe he meant Mary Jo (MJ) | Apr 18 23:05 |
| schestowitz | He's a big fan of hers | Apr 18 23:05 |
| _goblin | lol | Apr 18 23:05 |
| _goblin | is she dead? Whose using her name? Andre? | Apr 18 23:05 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: and Muhammad | Apr 18 23:05 |
| schestowitz | But they say the prophet hadn't had sex with her until she was older than 9 when he married her, so that's OK, I guess? | Apr 18 23:06 |
| schestowitz | Actually, the testaments allow polygamy, slaughter of one's own son for good, sacrifice of girls, etc. | Apr 18 23:07 |
| MinceR | iirc there's also offering one's daughter for rape | Apr 18 23:07 |
