  1. Gun Control History on Bill Regulating 3D Printed Guns Announced In NYC · · Score: 1

    It will either be too narrow to make a difference or too broad to make sense.

  2. Re:This is one on Researchers Discover Another Layer To the Cornea · · Score: 2

    Good job we have a sense of vitreous humor.

  3. Re:And... on Researchers Discover Another Layer To the Cornea · · Score: 2

    That joke is cornea.

  4. Re:Wanna earn $200K+? Two words... on The $200,000 Software Developer · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is an important point. I could make a lot more money elsewhere but I like the quality of life here.

    Though I could be making some more money here but that's a different issue.

  5. Re:From paying customer to tracked customer on Sharing HBO Go Accounts Could Result In Prison · · Score: 1

    We haven't been paying customers for a long time. We've been paying product.

  6. Re:Piracy? on Sharing HBO Go Accounts Could Result In Prison · · Score: 1

    Or just offer things on a pay-per-show basis (like itunes) but also everything. And make it downloadable, not streaming. There's no excuse for "buffering". I've got nothing against Redbox but it just shouldn't exist. It's an outmoded delivery system (but there's a lot right about the overall functionality)

  7. Re: dumb on Sharing HBO Go Accounts Could Result In Prison · · Score: 1

    Not quite true since there is typically a service charge on top of what you pay for metered usage.

  8. Re:Theft of Service! on Sharing HBO Go Accounts Could Result In Prison · · Score: 1

    Likely your attorney knows the score and recommend you cop to the plea.

  9. Re:Theft of Service! on Sharing HBO Go Accounts Could Result In Prison · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they should be forced to perform plays for MPAA execs.

  10. Re:Theft of Service! on Sharing HBO Go Accounts Could Result In Prison · · Score: 4, Funny

    Perhaps the wives were turning up on-screen...

  11. Re:Papa John's Class-Action on Class Action Suit Goodies Await Tech Users · · Score: 1

    For many people it's a second (or third) job.

  12. Re:first on Linus Torvalds Promises Profanity Over Linux 3.10-rc5 · · Score: 1

    Sure. So we come back to usage requirements again.

  13. Re:Someone start a defense fund on USA Calling For the Extradition of Snowden · · Score: 1

    Yes. No one, at any point in the past has tried to draw anyone's attention to problems with the way the government is operating. This was so out-of-the-blue.

  14. Re:Apologists Be Damned on What Can You Find Out From Metadata? · · Score: 1

    First we need to put a stop to it. It's going to be hard to push for prosecution for past transgressors when the people in power are doing exactly the same thing.

  15. Re:But... But... on UK Police Now Double As CCTV Cameras · · Score: 1

    Probably on an SD card which with a bit of careful palming can be mysteriously blank.

  16. Re:Oops - wire must have come loose. on UK Police Now Double As CCTV Cameras · · Score: 2

    Except, of course, that the cop is supposed to be acting not only in his own self interest.

  17. Re:Apologists Be Damned on What Can You Find Out From Metadata? · · Score: 1

    Arguably. But they're not running the country right now.

  18. Re:Of course ... on USA Calling For the Extradition of Snowden · · Score: 1

    I fear governments have tipped over to the point where security and paranoia will completely obliterate any privacy and anonymity.

    A justified fear. But Snowden also illustrates that government has gone so far that people are beginning to be willing to oppose it against their own self-interest.

    Interesting times.

  19. Re:Someone start a defense fund on USA Calling For the Extradition of Snowden · · Score: 1

    You don't uphold the Constitution by pretending that you get to interpret it yourself and then go off on your own and break the law.

    That may be the only way to uphold it sometimes. Though bear in mind that if a law is not constitutional, it is not a real law (though they can still lock you up).

  20. Re:Someone start a defense fund on USA Calling For the Extradition of Snowden · · Score: 5, Insightful

    To uphold the constitution?

  21. Re:Well... on Linus Torvalds Promises Profanity Over Linux 3.10-rc5 · · Score: 1

    It's not that they shouldn't submit non-critical code, it's that they shouldn't submit it into a release candidate. It's a time for eliminating bugs. New code means new bugs.

  22. Re:first on Linus Torvalds Promises Profanity Over Linux 3.10-rc5 · · Score: 3, Informative

    No. For a comparison, you need to look at usage requirements. If all you need is something on the level of fvwm, you can't get there with Windows.

  23. Re:Also the title of my autobiography. on Dell's New X18: 5 Pounds, 18 Inches · · Score: 3, Funny

    Why would anyone care about your attributes when you were born? That's nothing unusual for a baby.

  24. Re:How about distributing timezone info through DN on Oracle Discontinues Free Java Time Zone Updates · · Score: 1

    There is a "maximum caching time in case of failed lookups" which might play to that.

  25. Re:ORACLE = One Raging Asshole Called Larry Elliso on Oracle Discontinues Free Java Time Zone Updates · · Score: 2

    Presumably it was supposed to be stripped out and that was the reason for leaving it unindented.
