• On the post: Eric Schmidt Suggests Building A 'Spell Checker' For Online Harassment And Other Bad Things Online

  Just going to play devil's advocate for once.

  The only way I would agree with that is if the guidelines the program had for identifying "harassment" be incredibly narrow and strict, and only in cases where it manages to check off as positive for all those strict and narrow guidelines that it is allowed to automatically takedown the alleged "harassment".
  If the program finds something it's unsure of and fits a minimum of 90% of the criteria, then it's handed to an actual human to look at and judge for themselves.
  In all other cases, it ignores the content and moves on.
  This should avoid the problem of false flags like with the ContentID system on YouTube, where if it thinks a video contains 5 seconds of possibly infringing content. By which I mean as few as possible while still satisfying those ask for such a thing.

  Re: Sue ICE for their entire budget

  At which point I expect everyone involved with or reporting on the case will "disappear" and TD and every other site having any mention of it will be "seized".

• On the post: Patent Troll Sues Everyone For Infringing On Encryption-Related Patent By Encrypting Their Websites

  

  Blackfiredragon13 ( profile ), 02 Dec, 2015 @ 02:54pm

  This is just nonsensical,

  Because I honestly expect that at the current rate we'll be hearing about patents that cover the entire concept/process of encryption. At which point they'll start by taking every company in Silicon Valley and 95%-99% percent of the internet to court.
  
  Hell while we're at it why stop there? Let's get a ton of patents on gravity and charge everyone and everything in the galaxy for violating patent law! The cases against black holes will be rather interesting.

  You mean wet dream, right? Because all around, I do believe that's more accurate. Not to be disgusting.

  You know mike

  I wouldn't have minded one bit if you were to go on for another 3-4 pages. Gives me more to laugh about at nonsensical legal "threats".

• On the post: Comcast Tests Net Neutrality By Letting Its Own Streaming Service Bypass Usage Caps

  

  Blackfiredragon13 ( profile ), 23 Nov, 2015 @ 11:56am

  A streaming service named "Stream"!

  How creative! Before you know it Comcast will have a beer brand named "alcohol", assuming "Beer" has already been trademarked.

  Another facet of the problem

  Let's assume that they do end up prosecuting all those kids and they all end up on sex offerender's register. As a sex offender they can't have contact with minors, which includes their classmates. Ergo they can't go to school.
  
  The law is fucking stupid.

  Here's a toast to horrible nature that is humanity!

  And why I look forward to the heat death of the universe! 95% of you seem dedicated to leeching off others' success with filing these patent infringement cases.
  Between that and the horror that is my family, I've learned that you can never trust another human being, for the second you do, they betray that trust and stab you in back and leave you to flounder and die. Assuming they're not about on the same intellectual level as your average potted plant.
  Granted I've got a uniquely horrible family to grow up around which significantly colors my view of the world. My father is the type that refuses to ever admit he's wrong. Kind that sees an everyday mistake(ex:2x3=5) and rather than admit he's wrong says he's right and is willing to go to court and argue it out there. The amount times I've tried to explain to him that gravity does exist and isn't a fallacy invented by the CIA to benefit their overlords in the matrix(yes he believes that the matrix is a real thing and not just part of a movie). Still to this day he demands to see Obama's birth certificate, even though my mother has pointed out that if the man ever does he'll just claim its a forgery.
  Granted I'm just reflecting on the tragedy that is the 20 years and 9 days that I've lived. Feel free to report this if I'm just going mad.

  As I've been saying to my family: the people trying to get into the presidential candidate lineup sounds like a bad joke, something you'd read on the onion or the like; an arrogant as hell billionaire, a former First Lady, a member of the bush family and the kardashians walk into the White House.....
