  1. Re:But how precise is it? on Criminal Charges Against Speed Trap Tweeter · · Score: 1

    Then they will just lower the speed limits.

  2. Re:Thank you for legitimizing bittorrenting on UK ISPs To Pay 25% of Copyright Enforcement Costs · · Score: 1

    Ironic that trailers go viral via the internet.

  3. Re:Mercenary on £32k a Day For Birmingham Council Website · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yep.

  4. Re:What? on Family To Receive $1.5M+ In Vaccine-Autism Award · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    That Girls family are despicable human beings. Not only do they exploit their daughter to obtain a fraudulent income but that money is no longer available for research.

  5. Re:Stupid on Rackspace Shuts Down Quran-Burning Church's Sites · · Score: 1

    The content of the site is irrelevant. Rackspace does not have to agree with the content but they should meet the ethical obligations to their customers.

    The people who incite the riots are the Muslims who rally other Muslims up to "protest". The "Call to Arms" is an incitement to riot.

    If simply offending people is considered illegal we start to enter dangerous territory. Since people are offended by everything these days.

  6. Re:Stupid on Rackspace Shuts Down Quran-Burning Church's Sites · · Score: -1, Troll

    Personally I would expect Rackspace to have the moral integrity not to shut down their customers websites. Fortunately there are other hosts who will take the church on but it still does allot of damage for them to receive that downtime. Dodgy behaviour like this is enough to drive me away from Rackspace for sure.

    Just my thoughts on this.

  7. Re:Cue increase in accidents on Gubernatorial Candidate Wants to Sell Speeding Passes for $25 · · Score: 1

    Also modern cars are far safer than their predecessors.

  8. Re:What could possibly go wrong? on Gubernatorial Candidate Wants to Sell Speeding Passes for $25 · · Score: 1

    That is already the case since they allow incompetent drivers to operate a vehicle with permission.

  9. 1st amendment on Facebook Post Juror Gets Fined, Removed, Assigned Homework · · Score: 1

    So much for freedom of speech.

  10. Security concerns on UN Telecom Chief Urges Blackberry Data Sharing · · Score: 1

    What about the security concerns of the citizens?

  11. Re:What TheDirt.com should do on Woman Wins Libel Suit By Suing Wrong Website · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Do forget to pursue contempt of court.I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to con the courts into awarding you judgements like that.

  12. Re:LOLWUT? on Newspapers Cut Wikileaks Out of Shield Law · · Score: 1

    They just don't like the competition.

  13. Re:Sauce for the goose on GPS Tracking Without a Warrant Declared Legal · · Score: 1

    But the ruling does not forbid it either.

    Why should anyone take these ludicrous moron seriously.

  15. censorship on Philly Requiring Bloggers To Pay $300 · · Score: 1

    This is just Censorship by finance. "Pay us or you don't have the right to speak"

  16. Re:Illegal under Net Neutrality on UK ISP To Prioritize Gaming Traffic · · Score: 1

    That's how it's always been. If you know where the game server is located you can sign with an ISP that has better connections to that centre. I generally avoid using overseas servers where possible it's just common sense.

  17. Re:Hogs? on Belgian ISP Claims One Customer Downloads 2.7TB · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the RIAA is seething in a cave somewhere.

  18. Re:Hogs? on Belgian ISP Claims One Customer Downloads 2.7TB · · Score: 1

    I pay per KWh and I suspect there is a reason for that. But if the electricity company did sell people as much power as they could use for a set price then people could run all sorts of power intensive applications from the connection they paid for.

    If they paid for unlimited then they are not using more than they paid for so long as they keep it below infinity. This is of course why the electricity company bills by kilowatt hour.

  19. Re:Who cares? on Belgian ISP Claims One Customer Downloads 2.7TB · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's ok to oversell services but customers who want to use 100% must be able to do so. Otherwise the ISP is failing to provide.

  20. Re:Its possible on Belgian ISP Claims One Customer Downloads 2.7TB · · Score: 1

    Have a look into using 3G wireless prepaid. Surprisingly it is often cheaper than what the hotels will charge.

  21. Hogs? on Belgian ISP Claims One Customer Downloads 2.7TB · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How are such people data-hogs? They are using what they have paid for.

  22. RIAA bullshit on RIAA Wants 'Net Neutrality' To Include Filtering · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the RIAA really cares about Child Pornography.

  23. Re:This comment not safe for 15-year-old on Australia Considering iPhone App Censorship · · Score: 1

    This has nothing to do with child pornography. We have already totally debunked the governments claims that the filter is intended to block child pornography. Wikileaks even has one of the blacklists.

  24. Re:Nobody needs die of cancer any more on Preserving Memories of a Loved One? · · Score: 1

    Fair point. Perhaps I was too quick to judge the poster.

  25. Re:Nobody needs die of cancer any more on Preserving Memories of a Loved One? · · Score: 1

    Even for free it is still wrong to give someone false hopes with pseudoscientific bullshit.

    In my experience most Kooks charge a substantial fee for their remedies. Perhaps there are some who give it away for free, but even then I would be suspicious as to how genuine they really are. No such thing as a free lunch and all that.
