  1. Re:Power issues on Dan Rutter Suggests Tossing Some Wi-Fi At the Neighbors · · Score: 1

    I don't think that using solar-powered devices is economically feasible; you really need access to external power.

    But people will be too stupid to realise that until they have an overcast day.
  2. Re:wrong wrong wrong! on Google To Be Sued in UK For Trademark-Linked Ads · · Score: 1

    I would be *pissed* and would probably sue Google to STOP doing that. You would sue someone for giving you free publicity and assisting your customers in finding you (free of charge)?

    Sorry but you have problems.

  3. Robots.txt on Google To Be Sued in UK For Trademark-Linked Ads · · Score: 1

    They should deny Google in their robots.txt then they wouldn't be on the same search page as their competition.

    The pages at Google.com are google's property so I fail to see how this lawsuit can go anywhere.

  4. Re:Go with tags on Folders vs. Tags For Shared Email Accounts? · · Score: 1

    The Problem is that email wasn't intended to have 10 users per address.

    The best way to go would be to try out a "support ticket system."

  5. Re:a thief is a thief is a thief on Massive Increase in RIAA Copyright Notices · · Score: 1

    True,
    but when have the RIAA ever gone after theives?

  6. Re:Encrypted P2P on Massive Increase in RIAA Copyright Notices · · Score: 1

    Encrypting P2P is pointless because the people you share with need to beable to read the data your sharing.

  7. Re:Fighting thieves on Massive Increase in RIAA Copyright Notices · · Score: 1

    Don't even try to say: "nothing is stolen by copying," — that's quite ridiculous and self-inconsistent (thus automatically wrong). Nothing is stolen by making a copy!

    Explain how the argument is wrong instead of just dismissing it.
  8. Re:Drunk driving is fun!! on MADD Targets GTA IV Over Drunk Driving Scene · · Score: 1

    Don't forget to kill some hoockers and carjack an old lady while your at it.

  9. Re:PR advice on MADD Targets GTA IV Over Drunk Driving Scene · · Score: 1

    As a good general rule anything with "Mothers Againsed" in the name/title can be safely dismissed as a bunch of whining old bags.

  10. Re:Wow... on MADD Targets GTA IV Over Drunk Driving Scene · · Score: 1

    Then why are children allowed to view adult content?

    Parents would rather blame video games than admit their failure.

  11. Re:And how do we break the backbone? on FBI Wants Authority To Filter Net Backbone · · Score: 1

    To be honest I'm Surprised it's the FBI and not them.

    Everyone know copyright violators are worse than pedophiles, scammers, terrorists ect. (Apparently)

  12. Re:And how do we break the backbone? on FBI Wants Authority To Filter Net Backbone · · Score: 1

    Gee. All the mail goes through the post office. Maybe the FBI should filter everything there. And phone calls go through central exchanges, so the FBI should be able to wiretap all phone call. Dollar-wise, I would say a lot more illegal and/or terrorist "messages" are passed though voice than through the internet. I can't help but wonder if Osama has a skype account. When the Feds decide they don't want encrypted voIP being used I'm sure they will "uncover" it.

    Any input you make has the potential to be recorded.

  15. Re:Bad ISPs on Vuze Study Exposes P2P Throttling By Canadian ISP Cogeco · · Score: 1

    You mean ISPs are downloading and uploading bittorrent traffic instead of just being the carrier?

    Mayb the MPAA should sue them for copyright violation.

  16. Re:do ya feel lucky, Comcast? on Sony To Launch PS3 Video Download Service · · Score: 1

    A legal, widely deployed IP video-on-demand service



    You mean like Xbox Live Marketplace?

  17. Re:Just one word on Sony To Launch PS3 Video Download Service · · Score: 1

    Isn't an issue right now I don't see how adding an extra device is going to affect it.

    Unless your on comcast

  18. Re:I Wonder on Laptops Can Be Searched At the Border · · Score: 1

    And since when do we lock up people who are merely in posession of an "evidence" of a crime, almost certainly commited by another person? What other person?
    If you have child porn you are committing a crime.

    Murder is illegal in most countries and if you have it on film the authorities will be intrested in you.

    Removing you right to use office doesn't make it impossible for you to access your data.

    Notepad will give you access to data contained within an Office file.

    No,

    DDOS attacks are unblockable but what you can do is increase your capacity so that the ddos has less effect but this costs money.
