DaemonFCthen the law says that if you can't be contacted, then they have to report it to the stateJan 20 01:42
DaemonFCwhich makes it available on a website for a few years before the state claims it as theirsJan 20 01:42
DaemonFCand to make a claim you need to claim it and get a printout and get it notarized, and mail it to the Attorney General's officeJan 20 01:42
DaemonFCso it's full of roadblocks that a typical poor person would never get past Jan 20 01:43
DaemonFCand so the state just lets tens of thousands of those accounts sit around making it only technically possible to claim itJan 20 01:43

DaemonFCschestowitz: How's this as a starter...Jan 20 03:08
DaemonFCIn what was, obviously, intended to say "Fuck you America, we don't need SOPA to do this", the jack booted thugs at the FBI, acting upon orders from their commanders at the MAFIAA (A catch all term that is commonly used to refer to RIAA/MPAA/BSA type cartel organizations), seized the MegaUpload domain, arrested the owners and administrators, and replaced it with the standard finger wagging "This domain has been seized" banner.Jan 20 03:08

DaemonFCIf anything is enabling “terrorism” on Americans, it is laws like the PATRIOT ACT, DMCA, proposed SOPA, and companies like Apple, Microsoft, and products like iTunes.Jan 20 03:30
DaemonFCCompanies that write and push these laws are terrorists, by any definition of the word. Wiktionary defines terrorism  as “A psychological strategy of war for gaining political or religious ends by deliberately creating a climate of fear among the population of a state.” The fear inspired by possible SOPA violations is designed to get the population of a state (the United States) to censor themselves.Jan 20 03:30

DaemonFCfunny how ideas hit you after you hit submitJan 20 10:11
DaemonFCThese kinds of extortion demands didn’t start out with the RIAA/MPAA, they started out……with producers of gay porn. The scheme was apparently successful there, perhaps because nobody wants others to find out they’ve been downloading such fine art as “Harry Squatter” and “Everyone Does Raymond”. Over time this method started being picked up by movie producers who had made such cinematic suppositories as “The Hurt Locker”, Jan 20 10:11
DaemonFCalthough that one eventually fell apart last month after the judge had already thrown out many of the defendants due to the court not having jurisdiction over them. They even managed to sue a dead person and a bunch of people who don’t even have a computer in the house, even though the RIAA has done worse, so it’s hardly worth mentioning.Jan 20 10:11

DaemonFCWindows is harder to set up, it's harder to install things, it's harder to keep everything up to date, you have to deal with antivirus software which is always interesting Jan 20 16:31
DaemonFCafter you enter a string that's longer than a nuclear launch code, it might stay working :)Jan 20 16:32
DaemonFCand the applications I want to use, all work fine on Linux and were probably a port to Windows anywayJan 20 16:32
DaemonFCthe commercial applications do silly things like I mentioned earlierJan 20 16:32
DaemonFCyou buy a video game now and it stuffs rootkit malware into WindowsJan 20 16:32
fewtDepends, it can be harder to do all of those things if the version is dated.Jan 20 16:33
DaemonFCand it makes you buy a new copy if you need to reinstall it more than 3 timesJan 20 16:33
fewtYou know that will be the case though when you buy the game, so that's a conscious decision made by the buyer.  If you didn't know, you haven't done enough research before purchasing.Jan 20 16:33
DaemonFCtrying to manage Windows is like juggling and herding cats at the same timeJan 20 16:34
