  1. Re:Leaves it vulnerable my bottom. on YouTube Leaves Google Vulnerable? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You don't think both are examples of selective enforcement?

  2. Re:Leaves it vulnerable my bottom. on YouTube Leaves Google Vulnerable? · · Score: 1

    People also invested insane amounts of money in offshore online casinos. Vide insane amounts of market cap vaporize with one unexpected law. Risk v Return is always an important consideration. Still, don't think that the return is all that pops up.

  3. Re:since when... on YouTube Leaves Google Vulnerable? · · Score: 1

    Different groups are pursuing copyright lawsuits with different agendas. Google's previous actions were much more under the radar than YouTube.

    There's a slideshow link in the article. Pix are there.

    Actually, I do believe that you can get imagery of the moon landing from terrestrial observatories.

  7. Re:Oh... Perfect. on Vista to Include Stepped up Anti-Piracy Measures · · Score: 1

    Precisely. It'll take someone in the know about 20 seconds to get around this. But it's not for people in the know, is it?

  8. Re:alternatives galore... on Nintendo Keeps Wits and Reflexes Sharp · · Score: 1

    And those who are incapacitated in nursing homes. Kinda hard to argue politics after you've had a stroke. I've met one or two that get it done pretty well, but it can be very frustrating for everyone involved.

    Actually, I have two Masters degrees, thank you.

    What a wonderful way to reward laziness. And hey, while you're at it, pad your pockets through your podcast? Ridiculous.

    Some video of what one can do with a number of launch vehicles: http://scott.weston.id.au/software/pymissile-20060 126/ Gotta love technology in action.

    According to the 2000 US Census, 29.4% of the population is between the ages of 35 and 54. This is a total of 82,826,479 people.

  14. Attempted before...unsuccessfully on Vaporizing Garbage to Create Electricity · · Score: 5, Informative

    This has been attempted before. I used to work in the waste industry, and one of my clients had a plan to develop this kind of technology. The problem was that, despite predictions, the waste simply did not burn hot enough. If they've managed to overcome this obstacle, this is going to be huge. The cost-effectiveness still concerns me, but government subsidies can take care of that.

  15. How about this aspect? on Business 2.0 Says 'Boycott Vista' · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Everyone loves to consider the effect of Vista on XP... But what about 98? There are still thousands and thousands of business machines churning away on 98, which Microsoft has already tried to phase out. This is just another necessary step in that process to Gates and Co. Vista will drive continued XP sales as it forces these users to upgrade.

    So, anyone can get around the law simply by hiring people in the private sector?

    I'm sorry, but the confidentiality of the media is a cornerstone of media.

    That just sounds like a bad Star Trek episode.
