    Police, they go always for the easiest solution.

    In that case you had to appeal to the fine for "failure to maintain the vehicle", since it was properly done by a professional company. Use the receive to validate your claim.

    Can you tell us a little bit more about the involvement of the boy with the military server?

    One thing is hacking and another being part of a botnet of 300.000 units.

    Cool, now improve the security by using Firefox + AdBlock plus. Since most of the viruses come through advertisement, removing them makes your surfing more secure.

    You take you car to the official service, they make a mistake. Your tire comes off and you hit somebody.

    It is your fault?

    The point is: you can't blame someone just because you think they are wrong. You need proof, but once you get your proof they might point to something else. In this case a poorly designed OS by M$.

    Am I responsible for my car? To some extend I am, but if I have done all that is required by the law to make it secure, then there is nothing against me.

    Again, if I'm required to maintain my PC secure by law, so are the OS providers.

    Possible yes, but how can you exclude a car manufacturer error or a mistake in the car service?

    You watch too much TV. No one will point a gun to you merely because they suspect something is going on with your PC.

    Besides there aren't enough cops to stop a botnet.

    What can they do about it?

    If anyone should get a fine is Microsoft or whoever is responsible of the software. If your car suffers a breakdown and you hit somebody, who is to blame? The answer to me is not simple and obvious.

  9. Re:What? on The Sims 3 Racks Up Over 180,000 Downloads Prior To Release · · Score: 1

    The security model employed for offline gaming has nothing to do with pirated games downloaded.

    It all depends on marketing, if you are good at it, a lot of people will buy & download it free from the net. DRM affects only buying customers and does nothing for the illegal market, this is why we hate DRM.

    I don't understand why is so difficulty to understand the fact that you can never stop illegal offline use of your software.

    Hold it tight. First you have to understand Asus and M$ involvement in this marketing stunt.

    If you check the web page you will quickly find out it's so poorly done there is no chance in hell Asus or M$ would want anything to do with it.

    I doubt you can be a good leader if you are an asshole in real life.

    In the same way as in real life, you have to know how to socialize in the game. If you don't know how to follow the rules and respect your team mates you are out.

    It was implemented for security reasons, as a way to limit the DoS attack made by compromised PC.

    I don't see how much the Artists get from the "0.085p for each track streamed".

    I bet it's extremely low.

  18. Re:Think of the children? on A Push To End the Online Gambling Ban · · Score: 1

    This has nothing to with whatever gambling should be allowed or not. It's about tax, if you play online you don't pay any tax to the US, as it should since you are playing in a foreign country.
    It was always ok to gamble but as long as you are paying the taxes. I'm not sure about US, but in my country gambling taxes can go up to 40%.

    When you gamble you lose money, but when you gamble inside your country you are losing even more due to high taxes. At the end of the day the 'gov takes most of your money.
