  1. If... on Video Game Labeling Law Passed In New York · · Score: 1

    If the 3 major console makers decided they are not going to comply with this law and just stop selling consoles in NY I bet the law would disappear pretty fast due to public out cry.

    Wouldn't happen of course since the cost to implement parental controls is very likely less than the lost revenue from NY in this case, and at least one console (Wii) already has them.

    Don't buy from GoDaddy. There are better and cheaper alternatives.

    $14.95 - http://www.rapidsslonline.com/rapidssl-certificates.php

    And unlike godaddy that on is not a chained cert.

  3. Re:Here's betting it doesn't work on US ISPs Announce Anti-Child-Porn Agreement · · Score: 1

    I was referring to the crusaders and the organizations that specifically go after this.

    But fair enough in this context.

    Also, if they solve the problem, they won't have a reason to exist anymore.

    They need something to justify their existence (and pay check).

    Pretending to do something is much easier than actually doing something.

    Ya, but it's made by Microsoft. The retail ones have the same rootkit.

    This is an important ruling. I don't want Viacom to know how often I get Rick Rolled.

    We all expect this kind of crap from China or the US, but not from most European countries.

    I think you are massively underestimating the incompetence of private business.

    They own the site.
    The hosting company own the server (unless their own their own server as I strongly suspect they do)
    The registrar (or perhaps more accurately ICANN) owns the domain.

  13. Re:Thank god! on Mercedes To Phase Out Gasoline By 2015 · · Score: 1

    It's not like suddenly all cars would become electric. It would take many years to phase our gas cars, plenty of time for more power plants to be built.

    Why not both?

    Plug in at night. Swap batteries at gas stations for long trips.

    That is RAM not disk space.

  22. Re:DNS has failed anyway on The Beginnings of a TLD Free-For-All? · · Score: 1

    That was once a good answer, but with name based virtual hosting, that just doesn't work.

    Also, with IP6 coming it's not so convenient. Memorizing 4 octets isn't hard, but I don't want to have to memorize IP6 addresses.

    Thats what they get for buying it instead of pirating it. The cracked version(s) don't have any problems like this.

    Protection like this certainly doesn't encourage paying for the game when the free version is better.
