By your definition, it ain't my property.

Does your area even have schools? I simply do not comprehend how your reading comprehension can be so abysmal. I know people who grew up with virtually no formal education who have better reading comprehension than you do. What part of Property is held for life or until you relinquish control of it do you not understand? Selling is a way of relinquishing control.

The DMCA is a law. Violating it results in jail time and/or civil penalties. Deal with it.

The USA PATRIOT Act is a law. If you get and your Congressman get into a barfight over politics and you hit him/her you're now a terrorist since you used coercion "in an attempt to influence the opinion of the government." Deal with it.

I have argued that it is legal to If the DCMA was applied to cabs, all the above would be illegal. I am talking about IP laws that regulate what one can and cannot do with IP, you are arguing about quality of service enforcements. If you want to argue for arguements sake, go ahead, don't let me stand in the way.

And remember, keep your mitts off my bits!

If I have ever purchased your bits, I will do with them whatever I legally can whether you like it or not

And if in so doing, you violate the terms of the contract, then I shall do to you "whatever I legally can whether you like it or not."

TTFN!

I never threatened you.

It'll be a lot more interesting to see how good you are at backpedaling when/if the Secret Service pays you a visit over your "firing squad" braggadocio. Or maybe it'll be the BATF over your stated contemp for interstate gun laws? In any event, please report back after the dust settles, it will really brighten our day!

a reference that he should be expecting the SS or BAFT in the immediate future.

Such a sensitive topic, is it because TIPs promises anonymity and you threw it away?

Get a grip.

He made precisely the sort of statements that have indeed resulted in people getting "up close and personal" visits from the Secret Service and the ATF.

Now along comes you, shooting the messenger.

Oh, nice cheap shot at me by accusing me of being a "TIPS" operative. I take it you're accusing me of being a long haul truck driver, or one of the other finite number of occupations that are accepted into the program?

Grow a brain. Public fora have been monitored for years (decades, in fact, starting with BBS systems), and fools have always found out the hard way that when they say stupid things, sooner or later, the pay the piper.

So hey, forget I said anything. Go ahead, you, your pal dheritic, and/or anyone else; make more threats, and see what it gets you.

Rubbish. They don't waste their time on people who call for such things based on the US Constitution and criminal law. I did not say that Clinton should have been hog tied and lynched by a posse from Arkansas, I said that US Government should have executed him for numerous felonies and assorted capital crimes including, but not limited to, murder, conspiracy to committ murder, war crimes against the people of the United States, war crimes against several nations (Serbia and Somalia come to mind), perjury, violation of campaign finance laws and treason. If I were to ever get harassed for such statements the perp would be some wet-behind-the-ears rookie, not an experienced field agent.

Calling for the government to take action is hardly a threat. You must be one paranoid f#$% to think that it is. No cop would waste their time on people that call for such a thing. In fact, most federal law enforcement agents would probably inside approve of such action. Clinton's corruption was very much out in the open within the bureacracy.

If you don't like the license agreement, don't use the product! It's as simple as that. Nobody is forcing you to use them.

Gee, you mean it's like, if I don't want to buy a Chevrolet, I can buy a Ford, right?

Funny, I don't see any corporate shills from Chevrolet here calling Ford drivers "communists" and worse.

I do see you and your sidekick, Don Joe, calling anyone who does not bow down to the almighty m$ colossus and "communists" and every other kind of name. Has it ever occurred to you, B2k, that your obnoxious 'tude does more to convince your readers to hate m$ than anything your boss has ever done?

I guess what you mean to say is, "If you don't like m$ products, don't use them. Of course, if you don't use them and you do have the temerity to think you ought to use a computer anyway, you are a communist, a moldy skunk turd, and your mother puts out for Osama bin Laden. Oh, and have a nice day!"
