  1. ok 87 months in Jail on Spammer Alan Ralsky Pleads Guilty · · Score: 1

    Thats equal to just over 7 years if he does all the time and the fine of 1 million - lets just say the .gov probably didn't get it all when they were arrested. there is probably may times that amount in some numbered account so chances are he's made his Cash and we'll never hear from him again

  2. fair use? on ASCAP Wants To Be Paid When Your Phone Rings · · Score: 1

    SO if a ring tone is less than 30 seconds long doesn't that constitute fair use

  3. Wait Wait Wait on British Court Rules Against Blogger Anonymity · · Score: 1

    Newspapers and News outlets in general want that "special treatment" as a news outlet. They have stated that bloggers are not real news people yet now they want them treated as such seems like a double standard they are trying to achieve here.

  4. but didn't congress on A Supervolcano Beneath Mt. St. Helens? · · Score: 0

    Vote down Volcano monitoring here in the US? Stating that it was not necessary? I wonder what this news will do to the thought that its not needed?

  5. Low voltage on You've Dropped Your Landline — Now What? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Emergency lights At least thats what I've done in my home power goes out and I have a light in every room where there is a phone jack. I set it up with two 12 volt batteries in parallel and use LCD bulbs. Make sure you remove the drop end from the isolation block where the copper comes into the house as it is probably still running telco power through it

  6. Oldest working machine on 45-Year-Old Modem Used To Surf the Web · · Score: 1

    is a digital rainbow still runs and has an acoustic coupled modem - unfortunately I no longer have a land line to see if it will still connect. Lining the bottom of the box, where this is stored are logs from the W.E.L.L. and chats I had with Timothy Leary and other notable folk who were "tuned in" at that time. I don't miss the noise of the dot matrix printers but do like the never ending feed of green bar and the sexy squeal of the modem connecting

  7. Re:Here's a suggestion: on On iPhone, Searching For Kama Sutra = Porn · · Score: 1

    I couldn't agree more - but then again this should apply to all things Music Movies etc

  8. I vote for Number on What Can I Do About Book Pirates? · · Score: 1

    2. Sue people People get the Streisand effect working for you

  9. Re:Please DO call REI (206) 223-1944 on Man Arrested For Taking Photo of Open ATM · · Score: 1
  10. Re:Greed is Good on College Threatens Students Over Email Addresses · · Score: 1

    They were not sued for serving coffee that was too hot. They were sued for failing to take responsibility of the medical bills after the woman was scalded do to the lid not being properly placed on the cup(get your facts straight!)

  11. Non compete in MA on CA Vs. MA In Battle Over Non-Compete Clause · · Score: 1

    is why the 128 corridor never produced to the extent that silicone valley.

  12. Apple on Apple Rumored To Want To Buy Twitter · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Are they trying to become the new Microsoft? This is purely a Microsoft type of move

  13. would this be akin on EFF Sues Apple Over BluWiki Legal Threats · · Score: 1

    to Microsoft stating that any other operating system placed upon a PC is in violation of the DMCA's prohibition on circumventing copy protection measures. after all its nothing more than hardware.

  14. Re:Seems like karma to me. on California Family Fights For Privacy, Relief From Cyber-Harassment · · Score: 1

    You! out of the Gene pool your not allowed to breed

  15. I can see both sides on California Family Fights For Privacy, Relief From Cyber-Harassment · · Score: 1

    Ok the harassment needs to stop. It's bad enough that this family lost a loved one but the harassment brings the emotional trauma of losing a child to a new level I for one think that the family should go after the CHP dispatchers and the PD that leaked the them. What they do with the proceeds is up to them. Personally If I lost one of my children and something such as this happened there would be no end to the wrath I would rain down upon the perpetrators of this and the entity that allowed this to happen. To the family, very sorry about your loss I can not fathom what you are going through

  16. Cable commision and My 2 cents on Time Warner Shutting Off Austin Accounts For Heavy Usage · · Score: 1

    When the cable company got the right of way to build out the system in your town it was governed by your local cable commission(at least in the North East of the US). Basically saying what they could and could not do, what services they had to provide (ie Public access facilities and the likes) Maybe its time to tap those people in this instance if it is deemed that they are in violation of their contract with your town then the cable commission can levee fines and revoke the right of ways ( at least in the town I lived in). the cable company, in this case TW, will have to sell and move out of the town/city. If your cable commission members do not comply with the request of the constituents then I'm not sure what the recourse would be. but it is nice to know that there is some recourse locally.

  17. easy to fix on Chinese Hackers Targeting NYPD Computers · · Score: 1

  19. Re:Not another one -- your a moron on Internal Instant Messaging Client / Server Combo? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Stop being a dumb L33T3 (or really dumb paper tiger) and actually do something positive for the IT portion of the world. Your type of attitude needs to leave the IT industry, you leave a bad taste in the mouths of the ones that think IT is just overhead. Wake up! Grow up!

  20. Re:Jabber. on Internal Instant Messaging Client / Server Combo? · · Score: 1

    umm no you dont have to ever go through a public server if your routing is set up correctly in your client/server setup -- if you are already stopping IM via - non-install/network protocol/routing restrictions then your half way there. Any FOSS package you decide to install you can apply those restrictions/rules.

  21. Re:wait a minute here... on Microsoft Asks Fed For Bailout · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe the FOSS should ask for a bailout also?

  22. If google has to then why not on Should Google Be Forced To Pay For News? · · Score: 1

    the televison new or news shows that use the printed media as their building blocks An interview with Rachel Maddow for MSNBC states as much

    "Special props to Rachel for recognizing how newscasters depend on print reporting for the building blocks of their shows; "without the [MoJo DC bureau chief] David Corns of the world, there's no show. David Corn can do his job without me, but I can't do my job without him."

    Rest of the article can be read here http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2009/03/exclusive-rachel-maddows-anxiety-dream-and-more-mother-jones-gala-video-clips

    so why the sledge hammer to a collector/pointer of news why not go after the real users of it. ??

  23. off site and a vendor on How To Prevent Being Hacked Via Backups? · · Score: 1

    Seriously if your data is that important to the daily operations of your business then off site with third party vendor that specializes in archiving is the only way to go it removes some of the liability from you as a whole if they are the ones to let your system be compromised Generally the places they keep the medium in a place thats more secure than a bank(our vendor has an old silo with armed guards in an undisclosed location and yea I've been there). If this is to pricey then you should probably rent a safe deposit box and as part of the routine rotate the tapes

  24. Re:Something's wrong there: on Mom Given Parking Ticket For Reviving Son · · Score: 1
