Arizona bill makes it illegal to 'annoy or offend' online

Re: arizona, lol

What do you have a two hour layover in Phoenix international and now you are an expert on the state? Its one the naturally most beautiful states in the country. We not only have about the coolest meteor crater on earth but we have this little thing called the Grand Canyon you may have heard of. Yes the cities outside of Phoenix metro area for most part sucks and yes our leaders are right wing retards but their is a reason so many sports stars and rich people live here. Remember how you shoveled snow and scrapped your windows nearly every morning this winter? Yeah I haven't done either in years.

Re: FUCK YOU ARIZIONA !

As mentioned earlier the problem is mostly Mormons and old people. Phoenix imho is one of the best metro areas in the US and for the most part you learn to tune out Republican muppets.

Re: I notice

> say anything that is politically incorrect these days.

You mean like when Bush and Cheney were firing economic people for daring to complain about deficits being dangerous or firing scientists for not changing their science reports?

>Not "annoy or offend"? Only PC proponents - and that's the lefties - would demand legislation banning "offending" people.

Did you notice 6 Republicans sponsored this bill? As for banning offending people no the right loves banning offending information instead. Its not lefties that get on school boards and try to ban science that offends their religion.

Re: Old news

Might work what with the new the state Attorney General is being investigated by the FBI and all.

don't think so

The vast majority Republican, state legislation wouldn't be passing a bill preventing bullying as in general,bullying is one the Republican party's most effective tactics.

finally they read it I guess

Don't pretend this was some statement bill and wasn't going anywhere though. It probably would have been on the governors desk if not for the stink. Remember this is the legislature that put that bill on her desk that Arizona was going to decide if presidential candidates were true Americans or not.

snow globe

When did I fall asleep? Because it seems Arizona has left the union and became a grand experiment for some ultra right wing conservative think tank. Just when I thought the Party of Anti Intellectualism and the Creationism couldn't embarrass my state any more.

Re: two points sped

that is a large number of fellow Arizonians aren't tea party bible thumping retards.

Re: What about...

Fear not the idiot Republicans will get beat down by the courts again and once again my tax money will be used to score political points.

don't blame Arizona

Arizona is a beautiful state that unfortunately is ran by retards. There are lot of rational people in the state but there are just enough that suffer from the mass psychosis of conservatism to ruin everything. Fear not though much as our grandfathers did with fascism wacko conservatism will die with the Baby Boomers.

two points sped

#1 - a large number of people aren't Republican retards. In fact I have never voted for Party of Evil in my life and never will

#2 - Arizona became a state only 100 years ago. Nearly 45+ years after the civil war ended.

Re: Arizona snowbirds ruin the politics

Examples of former great Arizona politicians. Remember extremism in the defense of one's ideology is no vice.

Arizona snowbirds ruin the politics

Arizona is really a beautiful state and in my day to day dealings I tend to come across a lot less rednecks than other places I have lived. Still because our elections are held in winter when all the old rich people come to enjoy the mild climate our politicians are beyond wack. Our governor is a prescription drug junky transvestite that make W Bush look like a good speaker. My Sheriff would rather investigate Obama's birth certificate than prosecute 400 sex crimes he dropped the ball on. Basically Arizona is a corrupt Republican machine similar to the Dem machines in Chicago or Jersey.

Re: "I have worked for the UK nuclear generating industry and I do not recall"

Message was to AC not gentlemen who formerly worked in the industry. Of course he is an anon coward.

Re: "I have worked for the UK nuclear generating industry and I do not recall"

I am assuming of course you also work for the nuclear industry and may I be the first to say you sound like a real douche. I guess your industry has reasons to be ultra paranoid about any whistle blower type activity. Making it obvious in a public forum does little to help your arguments.

Re: I DONT GET IT

Well enough wasting on the morning setting up a vm to actually run 15 year old browsers. And by the way posting with lynx or some other text only browser is not sporting. El Reg as expected looks like crap on Net Nav 2 but degrades itself remarkable well where it still actually possible to read the articles (lol looks like the WAP version though).

Re: I DONT GET IT

Oh yeah well I am posting this using Netscape Navigator 2 (lol really am). It throws lots of javascript errors but I think it will work and not crash this time. The message box typing in right now, lmao doesn't even wrap. Probably about the oldest browser can get this to work with.

HTC sues fans for premature unboxing

Re: HTC's slogan is "Quietely brilliant"

Lots of custom roms for the Thunderbolt (tried most of them) but my driver is Skyraider Zeus as Sense runs better on the phone and Skyraider is the most stable and one of the best performing Sense based roms because its is mostly Sense 2.1 without most of the 3+ bloat.

Re: HTC's slogan is "Quietely brilliant"

No self respecting nerd (haha like military intelligence) would run a stock rom. The phrase Quietly rooted is the logo on my custom rom.

Motorola Mobility in double Euro probe over patent warfare

no way

You mean the EU is being rational and not allowing megacorp to patent math or my human genes? The bully boy US will take care of this terrible injustice to its main citizens the corporations.

right wing twats

Yep those Dems are embarassing. Oh wait it was Republicans that got W Bush elected for 8 years. Talk about an embarrassing train wreck of a president. Like Carter on steroids.

never going to happen

>Maybe when they themselves get the treatment after a minor traffic offence will they realise...

The US actually has laws to protect those who make laws from the laws (immunity fail). In addition to tell how much judges get away with the main reason that idiot trigger happy nut in Florida isn't in jail is because his dad was a former judge. The US were poor go to jail for two seeds of pot but the rich can shoot people (or strangle them in OJs case) without jail time.

Mac Java hole exploited by wild Flashback Trojan strain

Re: java such a turd

Good tip except best to disable all Java applets as its not all that hard to get malware signed by a dodgy CA like GoDadddy or something.

Re: Oracle?

oops had planned should say, all past tense because the big C doesn't give a rats butt what our plans may be.

Re: Oracle?

I think that all changed with latest Mac OS X release. King Jobs didn't want the java runtime cutting into the walled garden we has planned for Mac OS X but Ellison made him an offer he couldn't refuse to delay the killing.

Re: java such a turd

...the most commonly observed type of exploits in the first half of 2011 were those targeting vulnerabilities in the Oracle (formerly Sun Microsystems) Java Runtime Environment (JRE), Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and Java SE in the Java Development Kit (JDK). During the one year period starting in the third quarter of 2010 (3Q10) and ending in the second quarter of 2011 (2Q11), between one-third and one-half of all exploits observed in each quarter were Java exploits.

Re: java such a turd

Of course any complex software will have bugs. The issue is client Java the past few years has been responsible for more serious/critical CVEs than any other cross platform software save for Adobe's crapware (flash, reader, etc). Competing with Adobe security wise when one of the original selling points of the language was security is not good.

java such a turd

Why o why o did PS3 media server have to be written in Java. Its the best free dnla server on mac (at least when I last checked). If not for it no way would I have the malware portal that Java is on any of my machines.

Ice Cream Sandwich gives Android mobes brainfreeze – Sony

Re: spin

Sony hardly needs the press to spin they hate their customers. Sony's own press releases do the job nicely.

RIM insists it is not exiting consumer market - just 'refocusing'

Re: Better stop calling them hoodies!

I agree the race thing is just a huge distraction but the real issue is once again another red state law based purely in ideology has caused unintended consequences. There is a reason every major law enforcement organization in the country is against this retarded stand your ground law.

Re: Better stop calling them hoodies!

Funny I am embarrassed that you can shoot and kill a fellow unarmed citizen in the street in the US and not even get arrested if your dad is a former judge.

Workers worry about pay cuts from Apple, Foxconn pact

Foxconn just visible

Considering China is famous for slave labor and child labor in firework factories (which in the west we only hear about when they go boom) the only reason this is news is because of the Apple angle. Compared to most people in the third world sadly Foxconn workers are probably pretty lucky.

Munich's mayor claims €4m savings from Linux switch

Re: hmm

wow epic irony detect fail. It was pretty obvious. Oh well so many M$ shill whores (MCSE retards afraid of the command line for example) about you sometimes assume the worst.

Re: hmm

> forecast double-digit organic growth company wide

Also growth is not profit. Bing is the ultimate example of that.

Re: hmm

Belligerent shill ignorance aside Microsoft has never depended on the public sector for most of its profit so this is just an annoyance. A bigger worry would be why Ballmer is still employed. Maybe Win8 will finally take care of that.

hmm

Something tells me M$ profits margins on government contracts are about to fall worldwide. Between this and the way Vista ME(windows 8) looks like its headed some government negotiators are going to be getting some cherry deals.

exactly what I was thinking and stated better than I could have managed. Still not all the hate for Ballmer is just share price. There is definitely some working for a douche nozzle effect in there.

Adobe auto-update eases Flash update chore - on Windows only

Re: Major version 11 introduces auto update

two words, India outsourcing.

Re: Chrome?

And in fact running flash in anything but a chrome sandbox is asking for your box to get pwned. In general you should not have any Adobe software on your computer if you care about security and using flash in Chrome is the only way flash should be run at all imho.

PlayStation 4 'Orbis' pegged for 2013 release

Re: AMD?!? *yawn*

Well you can always get the new Wii U and go back to 2006 quality hardware.

silver lining

The good news is Sony finally learned the lesson IBM knew years ago and that is the Cell BE is a piece of crap architecture (sounded great at the time but with full multi core cpus so cheap it failed). So glad its finally going to die what with the PS4 being incompatible and all.

Re: You mean.. 1080p at last

Yep the PS3 is such a 1337 console that third place behind even me too Microsoft is great. Selling almost a hundred million less PS3s than PS2 shows Sony is heading in the right direction as well.

wow

So it sounds like making the man responsible for the PS3 fiasco as the CEO is really going to turn things around. 5 years straight and billions of dollars in the red and this is their plan. Glad I don't own stock.
