Re: Nashuatelegraph.com: Telegraph got it wrong in sex offender editorial

Can you show one that it caused?

"Talking point" information regarding the buffer zone from Laurie Peterson has been widely circulated. She did not disclose that she is a leader of Moral Outrage (offering advice on how to beat statutory rape laws), which set up a "media/legislative friendly" site CURSOR because, "age of consent position at Moral Outrage loses support with the mainstream". She didn't say she is a leader of NH Free Staters, (anarchist group devoted to vigilante justice, unfettered social freedom, legalizing marijuana, decriminalizing prostitution, eliminating government, laws, taxes and driver's licenses, and supporting open carry gun policy). The information and testimony offered "proof by verbosity," giving conclusions of a huge report, thin king no one would ever check. I did, and found her conclusions untrue. Alan Dershowitz calls this sending a blizzard when they want a snowball, because they will never find it. Are these the kinds of groups and tactics we want shaping Nashua's public policy?

Re: Catching up with Peerflix

hello — Fri, 24 Feb 2006 06:39:29 -0000

Come on Joe Cool. Are you advocating stealing movies by subscribing to PeerFlix. The MPA would love to know where you live. Probably would want to visit Peerflix too.

The real Elephant in the room is PeerFlix, and it stinks. Joe Cool uses illegal tools to steal movies, and make compressed copies of them. This method gets around the copy protection on the DVD, is a criminal violation of the Digital Milenium Copyright Act, and the results suck. Most DVDs are over 7 gigabytes of data. To make a copy of a DVD, you have to compress it because DVD burners only support 4 gigabytes of data. So you spend $1.00 for the trade on PeerFlix. $.39 to mail it, and $.50 for the blank DVD, and about 4 hours making a copy. You could buy a used copy of the movie for $2, that is much much higher quality. ($.11 more and I get a cover, liner notes and something that still has value.)

PeerFlix advocates sending just the disk in their special envelop. I would put up with this, when I am borrowing a DVD from NetFlix. But I am taking a perfectly good DVD, with Case, Cover Notes etc, and removing the disk and mailing it to someone. The results have absolutely no market value. You have no case to store it in, no cover, no notes. You can't find it in the drawer, and you can't sell it on Amazon.

I have tried trading services in the past. (Ones that actually included the whole DVD package.) They suck because 2 out of every 10 trades are either very slow, or never show. If Joe Cool wants to get a lot of movies without going to Blockbuster - NetFlix is the only way to go!

I tried a similar service called BarterBee. I was screwed out of my DVD in the very first trade. The other person never traded, and it wasn't worth pursuing so I just canceled.
I thought I would check out PeerFlix, but scanning through the comments conviced me this is no better than that crappy BarterBee.

The only DVD's I want to get rid of are the ones that I think aren't worth watching again. Why would I think that anyone would be that much different from me? The only inventory we will find on this system are the duds no one wants any more. A bunch of white elephants. I get very skeptical when the only positive comments I see, are obviously posted by PeerFlix employees.

None of these services are very compelling. For the money, I just use pay per view. Much less risk, and much more convenient thanks to digital cable.

Re: Live Ink offers better way to read text online

As someone who's been clocked at >1000 words per minute, I can tell you that no speed reader ever reads more than one line at a time. Anyone who says so is lying.

The key to speed reading is content priming. When you anticipate what the next word is going to be, based on your experience reading, your knowledge of the material, and your mastery of the language, you can read it and move on a lot faster than normal.

Re: VentureBeat downturn event: Tightening your belt isn’t enough

I was at this presentation. Here is what I heard them say:

Levchin: Instead of laying off employees, I simply killed them and harvested their skin to soap manufacturers.

Sieben: Flee to country without extradition. (eg. Bolivia, France, New Jersey).

Schneider: My employees are family members who never left Carnival day jobs.

Nirav Tolla: Does anybody have $5 for parking? Seriously. I can use the cash flow.

Calcanis: You paid to hear MY advice? You're joking, right?

Re: Fat Princess Update

hello — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 23:31:27 -0000

Get over yourselves, you act like being fat isn't your own choice. Fine, sure, you wanna be fat and unattractive? Great, whatever. But being fat is never going to be socially acceptable and you're going to be ridiculed and chastised one way or another, privately or publicly, probably both, which sucks for you. Don't like it? Eat less and exercise, it's not that hard, but if you're starting blogs about "Fat pride", it's probably not going to happen, eh? I guess it's good that you don't care about our opinions though, so you should hit the beach in a string bikini sometime soon, give us all a good laugh, not that it would phase you, since your tolerance is a wide as your waist.

Who is this betterthanyou character? He/She should change their name to stupidface because they obviously don't know fine art and talent when they see it. Catbutterfly is an artistic movement that will rival that of Modernism!

Yet another unwaranted attack on Microsoft. Perhaps the fact that microsoft and their employees have given over 1 billion dollars in cash to charities over the years, doesn't mean a thing?

The facebook notifications just indicate that she doesn't check her group invites and event invites and stuff. If don't action them, they eventually build up that way. They are not in the background - just from exiting the app.

Oh I didn't mean to insinuate that you were planning to do so. Another developer recently changed a paid app to an ad-supported app without telling his paying customers in advance. Let's just say that ruined my day. Would you consider adding ProPublica????

For God's sake PLEASE don't put any ads into News Addict 1.3! I'm sick and tired of developers hijacking my iPhone as their ad platform. One developer, Napkin Studio, put ads into a PAID APP update and I removed it from my phone, never to use their products again. I use News Addict daily and would hate to give it up because you chose to use ads.
