  1. Re: Obama's New "Stimulus" Package! on .xxx Registrar To Launch Pr0n Search Engine · · Score: 1

    Best part is that there must be someone out there who has an FBI warning fetish.

  2. Re:All for $100 million ? on Indian Prime Minister Formally Announces Mars Mission · · Score: 1

    Obvious straw-man argument is obvious.

  7. Re:Oh please, get a life. on Witness Ridicules 'Hands-On' Reviews of Surface · · Score: 1

    PS to my previous reply,

    These things run on flash storage. NEVER defragment flash storage. They very much unlikely have a DVD drive, so attempting that is not going to happen.

    I read that Control-Alt-Delete is remapped to WindowsKey-Power.

    Also to be in cahoots with the Anti-virus industry such that the RIAA/MPAA viruses aren't detected by AV scanners. Actually, have them detected but be 'impossible' to remove without taking it in to someone....and that someone is obligated to report the attempted copyright infringement instances.

  10. Re:So Apple on Apple Patents Polluting Facebook, Google Profiles · · Score: 1

    Apple wins by default, defendants didn't turn up to court.

  11. Re:How about printing the information on the stick on Using QR Codes To Save Lives · · Score: 1

    I'd say that by having it as a reference to an online database it means that the person wearing the QR-tag doesn't need to do anything and only has to give permission for doctors, etc to submit the information directly on their behalf. The information can update without the QR code changing.

  12. Re:Does this mean Java really is free? on No Patent Infringement Found In Oracle vs. Google · · Score: 2

    A LAN of corporate FUD.

    It should also be done on the country code level: bank.nz, bank.uk, etc. Then asb.bank.nz and kiwibank.bank.nz / kiwi.bank.nz.

    Also to force bank.us rather than .bank in general.

    Lagging support such as nVidia Optimus not being supported on Linux platforms.

  18. Re:Who's a good police force? You are! Yes you are on Megaupload Co-Founder Allowed Bail · · Score: 1

    Apparently, according to a TV interview with Dotcom's Head of Security at the mansion, there was one (or two?) shotguns in a safe in an attic like security room, inside a safe (with key in lock), where Dotcom went to hide. The guns licensed to the head of security.

    Sawn off? Probably fabricated media sensationalism, but I don't know. NZ Police claim they were acting upon the intelligence they were given, however that intelligence could have been exaggerrated. Being a New Zealander myself, I would love to imply that FBI gave over the top intel to make NZ Police raid with an over the top style.

    I'm an expert because I saw him say it on TV.

    That's why Apple created the iPod Nano and the arm band.

    In the middle ages, one of the popes got all the kings of Europe together, and told them, "You shouldn't fight each other so much." The kings looked at each other, confused, and asked, "What do we do then, if we aren't fighting?"

    All the gift cards I've used require some sort of registration with a name. Okay, so I've only used two types of gift card and that's a terrible sample size.
