  1. Re:It is the artists on Who Runs RIAA's Settlement Information Center? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is only slightly true. As it turns out, i was recently graced with the excellent opportunity to attend a Q&A with Mitch Glazier the Executive Vice President of Government and Industry Relations and Jonathan Lamy the Senior Vice President of Communications. Right now the RIAA is funding its campaign, in large part, by the money it makes off of the pre-settlement letters and lawsuits that they win. now, if the artist simply said, we take away your rights to all future music, eventually, the RIAA would cease to exist. As a side note, I have never met two more idiotic morons in my life, literally the dumbest people I have ever met, also, slimy...it was like talking to the Lucifer himself, only x2.

  2. Re:Link to "picture book" on Jack Thompson Served With Order to Show Cause · · Score: 3, Interesting

    He...Is...Bat shit insane.... I attempted to read that "picture book." I got halfway through and realized that I felt like I was climbing uphill wearing roller skates with hurricane force winds blowing me down. Thompsons stupidity and apparent insanity has never been so clear as in the above "picture book." Beyond that...who does that to a judge or court or lawyer. Insult their intelligence, are you crazy...oh wait, yes...

    No, you are right, it wouldn't be a guarantee, i guess i will clarify, it is easier to get away with so long as it is introduced in small stages. Its happened in the past and it will happen again. Slowly take away freedom, and then all of a sudden, there are no freedoms left.

    While i agree, all a univ. has to do is create a plan, in 2 years, there will be a new fed. funding law and it will require implementation of the plan, and then ISP's will be required to create a plan, and then they will have to implement a plan, and so on and so on.

  5. Re:done it on Wiimote as Multi-Touch Display Controller · · Score: 1

    not at all, all i have to do is change the source to base orientation off of 9 ref. points, instead of 4. the four point orientation has nothing to do with the fact that the wiimote can only track four points. the four points means it can track up to four separate points, not reference the position off of 4 locations stored in memory of the computer...using your logic if you use the multi touch, it is tracking 8 points.

  6. done it on Wiimote as Multi-Touch Display Controller · · Score: 1

    1) old news...i finished building mine a week ago 2) i hate 4 point orientation, i need to tear apart his source so i can make it read 9 points as opposed to 4.

  7. Re:Comcast also just started port-blocking on Comcast Targets Unlicensed Anime Torrenters · · Score: 1

    Most ISP's do this. Not entirely sure why, but i know that we have seen it in the Boston University Tech support office on several occasions. Most recently was RCN shutting down SMTP. it was funny because we got calls from RCN tech support w/ BU students on the line, asking why our SMTP wasn't working on their ISP. sure enough, RCN had just started blocking outgoing. So, Students could receive off the IMAP, but couldn't send. So, then we, not RCN, had to walk them through setting up their mail client to send via RCN SMTP, but look like a BU email....good times

  9. Witch hunts continue on Mainstream Coverage of Manhunt 2 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As usual, in an effort to shift the blame from the parents to the game designer, the major new outlets get to spread misconception to the everyday citizen. I am only 19, but, my parents have been allowing me to play violent video games since i was 10. I'm not killing people, nor do i intend to kill people. It has always been the game designers, musicians, directors that are bad people. How about parents try and be there for their kids, talk to them, tell them that games aren't real. I know that i will allow my children if/when i have them in 10-15 years, to play violent videogames, not when they are 3 or 5, but when they are 13 or older, maybe even sooner if i think that they are mature enough. But it will be my choice, not the choice of some ill informed news outlet.

  10. Re:It doesn't "remotely shut down vehicles" on Stalling Cars Via OnStar · · Score: 1

    I am right there with you. Being an auto enthusiast. haha, the username makes sense after all. I have heard horror stories about what cops can do when they want to be pricks, or are just crazy. would you guys like some proof. here's a link to the youtube video, hosted elsewhere. Read the transcript. the cop threatens to make up charges against the kid. now, lets imagine that the cop had started beating the kid and when the kid escaped to his car, the cop had it disable and the doors unlocked so he could finish "arresting" him.

  11. Great for the Target Market on Smash Bros. Brawl to Have Co-Op Play · · Score: 2, Informative

    I am of the opinion that this feature is gonna be a huge selling point. Not with hardcore gamers, not with teenagers, but with families. Yet again, the game designers are banking on the fact that the wii is a family console. The opportunity for a father and son to play a game like smash is great, esp. in coop. its not the way the typical fighting game goes, but, it looks as though it will probably move a few more thousand units off the shelves around the holiday season as the game is released.

  13. Fairfax County on Creating a Full-Time Sysadmin Position at a School? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I just graduated from a high school in Fairfax. for a school with about 2400 students, smart boards, projectors and at least 1 computer in every room, multiple mobile laptop labs with 25 or 50 laptops in them, and computer labs, we had 2 full time tech people, one for software/network support, and one for other stuff. Plus we had student techs who would actually do the work outside of the office. finally we had county support for hardware problems and wireless fixes. so, figure on one full time employee w/ 2-3 student techs and you should be able to run the school's resources just fine. Also, this was a public school
