  1. Re:Easier solution - *.bank.se on Swedish Regulators Ban Word "Bank" In Domain Names For Non-Banks · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If it's illegal to register the site, the .se registrar will not register it.

    Your argument is as sound as "People will not buy vanity plates with obsceninites because it is illegal".

    That is assuming the submitter doesn't simply use a disposable email address.

    If they bother to READ the damned thing and THEN put in the effort to identify the owner of uvbnsuckered@hotmail.com. Appologies to anybody who might actually own that account :P .

    Yes, they need to tell the user who posted the material, but last I checked the Times isn't the one who posted it! The user who had their image deleted would most likely need to be the one to demand to see the notice and the name of the submitter.

    This raises a HUGE problem. Companies barely even read DMCA notices before acting on them, you could probably write just about anything in them and it would still get enforced.

    I am actually very surprised that artists (visual and audio) have not started submitting fudged DMCA takedown notices to the ISP/Web Hosts of rival artists.

    In fact, this could be used against political parties posting ads and speeches on third party sites (youtube, etc). VERY SCARY!

    A drop in the bucket or not, somebody is still going to get harrased/sued/imprissoned for downloading something completely legit just because some dumbass in the government doesn't understand the law they are writting about!

  9. Re:Simple... on Company Laptop, My Data — Can They Co-exist? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I threatened to call the local police, but it had no effect to change their minds.

    And you didn't WHY? Throwing empty threats around like that does nothing but make it harder for those of us who really WILL call the cops to get any justice.

    Agreed, Every week I see a white guy photoshoped out and replaced by a black/asian guy to meet "diversity standards" and the ONE TIME they do it the other way around, kdawson has a bird! I honestly believe that the only part of the internet that kdawson actually SEES are the articles people submit to him....

    You forget the best part.

    It's not locked to some "app store" with "approved apps"

    This alone will make it explode ahead of the iPhone and Andriod phones.

    Bullshit.

    The N800 has been able to do this for 2 and a half YEARS!

    I have an N810 and while it doesn't have a cell chip built in, it has full capabilities to pair up with a bluetooth phone and be used AS the phone.

    As much as I would LOVE this series of devices to beat apple, nokia's marketing is absolutely crap when it comes to their linux phones.
