  1. Damned Tech Illiterates on No Right to Privacy When Your Computer Is Repaired · · Score: 1

    Whatever the merits of Sodomsky's tastes, what got me was this portion of the court's opinion: "[T]he playing of videos already in the computer was a manner of ensuring that the burner was functioning properly." It's hard to tell who's the bigger idiot here, the CC employee for thinking that playing files off the hard drive would verify the operation of a DVD drive, or the court for accepting that kind of crap!

  2. For once I prefer the RIAA position! on Sony BMG Says Ripping CDs is Stealing · · Score: 5, Informative

    "Record companies have never objected to someone making a copy of a CD for their own personal use." http://www.riaa.com/faq.php

  3. Not much of a campaign on A Campaign to Block Firefox Users? · · Score: 1
    Taking a look at the site, it seems the author needs some more grammar practice. (Some logic would be nice, too.)

    As for a campaign, Google has this to say: "Your search - link:whyfirefoxisblocked.com - did not match any documents."

    Great start on that campaign!

  4. Some exaggeration in the story, I suspect on Software Bug Halts F-22 Flight · · Score: 5, Informative

    The F-22 has a fly-by-wire control system. If there really were a crash of ALL on-board computer systems, communication and navigation would not have been the most immediate concerns!

  5. Sounds bad, but... on US Lags World In Broadband Access · · Score: 1

    I'm sure this will all get sorted out soon. I distinctly remember George Bush promising broadband for all by 2007. Please don't say that we're going to end up with "broadband for some, tiny American flags for others." I won't believe it.
