  1. law against stupidity? on Woman Filming Sister's Birthday Party Gets Charged With Felony Movie Piracy · · Score: 0, Troll

    First, she should be arrested for encouraging an entire group to sing INSIDE A MOVIE THEATER. Being stupid enough to do that is one thing, but then she records it, IN THE MOVIE THEATER! There are signs everywhere in these places about recording devices and such. In these cases, it is a federal crime. This isn't copying off the internet. This is the source and they protect it aggressively. Third, she went and saw twilight new moon. This is clearly 3 strikes of being stupid and she ought to be locked up\

  2. Re:An old email relating to carbon footprint of da on The Environmental Impact of Google Searches · · Score: 1

    Does that air travel study take into account all the computers that the air traffic control uses on a day by day basis? What about all the electricity that two airports, if it's a direct flight, running at full capacity consume? Or at least at a high enough volume so that it can sustain it's operations enough to fly that one flight. It only seems fair that if you're taking the broad spectrum of IT energy consumption into account, then you must look at all the energy consumption that one flight relies on to simply be scheduled. Luggage handling, security, shuttling commuters, food courts, are a few more factors I came up with very quickly. Either a lot of thought was put into ignoring those part of air travel, or not a lot of thought was put into this study at all.

  5. Re:Shared items are not private on Google Reader Begins Sharing Private Data · · Score: 1

    "Your shared items are publicly accessible." From Google Reader's "Your shared items" page. This has been on the page for the shared items URL since day one. Just because the URL is slightly obfuscated, doesn't mean that you assume it's a private matter. Especially when you're being told in bold that it is a public matter!

  6. DRM for OGG on Nokia Claims Ogg Format is "Proprietary" · · Score: 2, Informative

    These guys are currently building DRM for the OGG Vorbis. If I'm right to assume, they are also setting their sites on the entire OGG container for their DRM solution, supporting both theora and vorbis. I don't really understand Nokia's beef at all. It's all a bunch of nonsensical ramblings on about how they're grouchy with W3C's decisions. The situation is all very liken to when you give a child their juice in the wrong coloured cup.

  7. tape drives on Alienware Puts 64GB Solid-State Drives In Desktops · · Score: 1

    Tape drives are very much still in use as backup solutions. It again boils down to economics. Tape drives have better data integrity so they work better for data backups. Thus thats what they are used for. SS drives work better than hard drives for portable memory thus thats what they are used for.

  8. Re:Turn SuperFetch off on 4 GB May Be Vista's RAM Sweet Spot · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What I think is needed is a way to see what ram is used by superfetch and maybe even for what. If it's freed up immediately when another application requests it, then it's really shouldn't be considered used in the scheme of things. Sure the ram space is filled but its not used at that moment. I also am surprised by how many people are fooled by this and are jumping to a conclusion that Vista needs absurd memory to run. I read less to tech stories these days and focus more on the comments where people break the real info.

  9. Re:Bad reasoning on MySpace Not Guilty in Child Assault Case · · Score: 1

    Yes! More parents need to own up to the responsibilities they took on when they took on a child. Mothers especially! All these mothers are rising up and blaming all of their child's problems, as well as problems they're having raising their child, on anything and everything else. I was reading yesterday that some mother is barking about the new Nintendo now. It gets her kid active sure, but when he goes out and plays real tennis then loses, it's suddenly Nintendo's fault since the Wii gave her child a false sense of competition and he lost self confidence because of it. There shouldn't be laws made to clamp down on privacy on the internet. There's plenty of ways to remain private on the net if you take the actions to do this yourself. What needs to be done is a proper educational set of videos talking about privacy concerns, monitoring internet usage, and all this common sense crap. Because really, we've got whole generations of people who have never used "the internets" much before, and no one is speaking about all these privacy issues to them. At least not loudly enough anyways. When I was growing up, there were T.V commercials all the time directed at parents, telling them to monitor what I was watching. It had to be done back then, why not today ? Its even more demanding to get this done since now the new medium is interactive! Education is the key. Not restrictions

  10. Re:This is a real pain for developers on Microsoft Slugs Mac Users With Vista Tax · · Score: 1

    I don't buy it. Programs that run on fine business or ultimate shouldn't have any problem working on home. Maybe if they're developing with features that are edition specific, but developers should know their libraries. Its not like vista development is like working wit different builds of *nix. If he's working professionally, he should be working with a professional edition. bottom line

    so you're saying, they should have sued apple (for no real damages), so that they would have a better case against ms? Do the world a favour, don't become a lawyer. We don't need anymore jackass logic like that in the court system.

    Fool. If windows didn't come bundled with IE, netscape probably would have never of been bought by AOL. Firefox would have still developed in one form or another, since the motions were started long before IE gained foothold.
