    Yeah, the internet had to install a hard drive for that post of yours. And a second one for the backup. Those two hard drive should add almost 0.2 kg to the total weight of the internet.

    Are they really allowed to? I think it's just that they can do it, and their police buddies will cover for them and come up with a lie they will all agree to it.

    Although I agree that video games are a works of artistic expression, Including the likenesses of these players in video games should require the same licensing and permissions that including them in movies would require.

  7. Re:As a player, you don't own your own image on Judge Rules Games Are "Expressive Works" · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing the game companies are already paying the NCAA to use all their team names and team logos and to title their games things like "NCAA Football '10".

  8. Re:As a player, you don't own your own image on Judge Rules Games Are "Expressive Works" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If the players sign away their rights to their names, Why don't the game companies include those names in the NCAA games?

    Would it be insecure to create a guest account with no password and no admin privileges?

  10. Re:making thievery more risky - good! on What Is the Best Way To Track Stolen Gadgets? · · Score: 1

    I think anti-theft features like these becoming more well known would only make thieves more likely to find ways to work around this stuff. (e.g. turn off all stolen goods asap, put electrical tape over the lenses of any stolen goods with a camera before turning it on, wipe hard drives of stolen devices before connecting to the internet, don't ever turn stolen cell phones back on at home, put the phones into airplane mode after turning them back on, leave cell phones off until selling them.)

    This has been a coordinated monthly test of the Emergency Google Broadcasting System. Equipment that can quickly warn you during malware and phishing attempts is being tested. If this had been an actual emergency such as an attempt to visit a bank phishing site, Google Messages would have followed the alert tone. This concludes this test of the Emergency Google Broadcasting System."

    I don't think the constitution (of the USA) grants family privilege. I think the closest thing we get is spouse privilege. Maybe some states' constitutions afford their citizens family privilege, though.

    Thank you for sharing your experiences. I feel better about donating books to prisoners now.

  19. books are for reading? on Which Computer Books For Prisoners? · · Score: 1

    At church this one lady was collecting books for prisoners, and she mentioned how quickly the books wear out at prison and that they always need more. So, I imagined that the prisoners must be throwing the books at each other, or writing notes on them, or hollowing them out to hide contraband. I imagine the prisoners want computer books because they tend to be pretty thick books. Am I completely wrong? What percentage of patrons at prison libraries actually read the books there?

    The learning curve misconception was the reason I didn't want to leave Windows. I didn't want to switch to Mac because I had just learn how to delete files in Windows 3.11. I didn't want to upgrade to Windows 95 either. Luckily it was not my decision. I'm glad I use Mac now.
