Re: Thread : In the news today
I'm not sure if we (the USA) have reached the depths of insanity or inanity.
The government is so afwaid of the big bad terrorists that they have to deny entrance to cartoonists? Because they might make a couple of bucks from American conventioneers? I'm tempted to get a shirt printed that says "Canadian cartoonists are stealing American jobs!" But some moron would probably take it seriously.
I soooo hate Trump and the assholes who voted for him! If you are a Trump supporter on this forum, don't bother speaking to me unless it's to apologise. And DON'T try to bring up Hillary, you DON'T KNOW what she would have done as POTUS, but we sure know how your choice is shaping up!
Maybe we should just build a wall aaaaalll the way around the country and then roof over the wall and then we can hide in our basements while we cower and read Breitbart and Infowars.

I'm not American, so I did not vote either way.
But I think it is important to keep in mind that the majority of people who voted Republican did not want this circus. They thought they were getting someone who cared about their problems. They were loyal to the principles of the Republican party.
It is not their fault that they were deceived. They're in the same leaky boat as everyone else.

Re: Thread : In the news today
In all fairness to the guy, had he done that, he would have been in some very deep legal trouble since that disk was likely obtained originally through theft, and contained trade secrets which are heavily copyrighted. The story I watched about it pointed out that what he did was both legally and morally the right thing to do. And he got pretty nicely compensated for doing that.

only a problem if he's dumb enough to get caught.
which, i suppose i guess evidence suggests he was. but still, the world could've done some cool stuff with that code.

And game companies would have had more reasons to be draconian about security and DRM. I'm glad blizzard decided to be gracious.

And the FCC is investigating Colbert thanks to all the horrible Trump supporters who are upset at their precious Trumptator being insulted.
