    they do fix them for free ... they release another update and tell you how to fix it. for free. no geniuses needed in between.

    you don't seem to understand what no default passwords means. a password it defaults to when reset is forbidden explicitly, it is EXACTLY what this law is about ...

    This is idiotic, can you imagine tech support ?
    "Yeah i cant log in to my router with the password provided"

    First. You'd need to train every single ai to recognize human beings as human beings.
    Then the concept of harm to a human (id REALLY like to see the cases for training this) ...
    Also the laws were designed to show there is a flaw in them hence the zeroth law.

  7. still miss astrid tasks on Ask Slashdot: Best To-Do/Task List Software? · · Score: 2

    Before Yahoo, with their longsightedness bought and killed it for absolutely no reason, astrid tasks was effing glorious.

    its a hidden pyramid scheme on donations, and the justification is to offset server costs.

    if you put up you torrents after pre-seeding them to a few seedboxes you´ll see you have a constant and considerable deficit towards the users

  10. Re:High download ratio? on Audiophile Torrent Site What.CD Fully Pwnable Thanks To Wrecked RNG (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    yes, 100% so.

    the sum total of all bytes downloaded must obviously equal the sum total of the bytes uploaded.

    so for every 2:1 there needs to be an equivalent 0.5:1

  11. Maybe, even better!, you can do whatever you want with your company and let them do whatever they want with theirs. if people like what you do they´ll put money into your company and out of theirs ... almost like an equilibrium of sorts

  12. Sad.

    This is not how real life works.

    She signed a contract, this is in it. period. Are you really suggesting with a straight face that it would be ok for a company to unilaterally break a binding work contract cos she made people ACTUALLY GO TO WORK ?? ... indeed, the devil incarnate, burn the bitch !!!

    This is exactly the kind of entitlement problem that faces the workforce today. Yours obviously, not hers. Me? i´d just want to know who she hired to negotiate her contract!

  14. employees ? c'mon ... on Every Day's a Tax Holiday At Amazon · · Score: 1

    The employees enjoy the fruits of local taxes because they pay their taxes and pay sales tax on all things bought locally. The ones who are not paying are the citizens of those 17 states that buy @amazon, not its employees.

    Who cares what the American law says ? Its built by CERN, its in the France-Switzerland border ...

  17. Re:Seriously? on Slovak Police Planted Explosives On Air Travelers · · Score: 1

    Passengers originating at or transiting through airports with a poor screening record would be denied entry to the US.

    It would be simpler to just stop the airlines from flying to/from those airports.

    And can they really do that if you are american ? deny entry to your own country? i don't think so.

  20. Re:Launch Times? on iPhone Gets .Net App Development · · Score: 1

    So reading the actual MonoTouch page was too much trouble ?

    To begin using MonoTouch, you will need to have:

            * Apple's iPhone SDK 3.0 or higher, available from Apple's iPhone Dev Center (http://developer.apple.com/iphone/).
            * An Intel Mac computer running MacOS 10.5 or 10.6 (Leopard or Snow Leopard).

    So ... where are the VS.NET and Windows licenses to be sold by the truckload ? Not to mention where would you get the win32 libraries that are dirt simple to bind...

    All MonoTouch does is
    1) allow apps to be coded in C#
    2) use .Net STYLE binding of the native iphone apis.

    This is extremely useful to those that want to make apps for the iphone and are experienced in C#

    Not only that ... what is most suspicious is that he flew to London but stayed at the Marriot in COSTA RICA !! and in the Sheraton in San Salvador ....

    Silly Americans think people only talk about the US...

    He meant he took the train from London to Paris .... NOT Newark to Tampa ... as that segment is not missing in the PNR, the LGW or LHR to CDG is.

    On the other hand referring to planes as metal tubes vs trains is ironic to say the least.

  25. Re:Virtual Credit Card Number? on What the DHS Knows About You · · Score: 1

    It shows up as that virtual CC# ... that is just the number the agent used to issue the ticket and secure the hotel reservations (may be a different one for each)

    All the credit-cards you used in the past 10 years for almost anything large travel related (car rental reservation, hotel res, plane ticket) is kept, all the planes you took (full data, like seat, fare..), hotel data, travel preferences are also kept.
