  1. Re:Benefits on Steve Jobs Says PC Folks' World Is Slipping Away · · Score: 2, Interesting

    you can get new pc laptop that cheap, goin by prices on apple.com you can't get one their for anything short of a 1000$, might well go for that wepad that the one german company made, least they are not tieing ur ass down like mac does with all their crap. With all the tie downs they mark price for their stuff a good 50-70% higher then pc counter part with same hardware. you mac fan boys can call me a troll or flamer all you want but facts are Facts.

  2. Re:What about the presumption of innocence? on Arizona "Papers, Please" Law May Hit Tech Workers · · Score: 1, Informative

    How is this a problem? By Law they are required to carry documentation with them, like a drivers license.

  3. Re:A luxury? on Crytek Thinks Free Game Demos Will Soon Be Extinct · · Score: 4, Interesting

    yup no demo to see if the game is good = more people like to pirate the game. I pirate games i admit it, but if i find the game is worth it i will go buy it. If they eliminate demo's as is, PC games are pretty much non-returnable like console game is. so if you shell 50-60$ for a pc game you are stuck with it.

  4. Re:Narrow interpretation on NJ Court Upholds Privacy of Personal Emails At Work · · Score: -1, Troll

    the info was stored on the laptop when she Gave it back so sounds like she pretty much handed the emails over to them, cause she didn't have the brains to know pretty much anything you do on a computer is stored on the drive for a period of time is no excuse.

  5. Re:Still probably violates company policy on NJ Court Upholds Privacy of Personal Emails At Work · · Score: 2, Insightful

    what if she used her private email to send email with sensitive company info to a competitor? They have the right to monitor all data sent over their networks and any computer they own.

    If its the current one in use don't see the problem really, all the tech in it is like what 20 years old?

  7. most routers? on Comcast Plans IPv6 Trials In 2010 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I guess it means most companies (aka dlink, linksys, etc) have to get off their ass and add support to their routers since most home routers don't support ipv6.

  8. Re:Do ISPs really wish to block infringing content on RIAA Wants Limits On Net Neutrality So ISPs Can Police File Sharing · · Score: 0

    Since most ppl use encryption on their illegal downloads now days, ISPs can't tell if its legal or illegal cause far as they know it could be say a Linux distro or even a game from a company that uses bitorrent like system (aka blizzard does)

  9. pfft on RIAA Wants Limits On Net Neutrality So ISPs Can Police File Sharing · · Score: 4, Interesting

    RIAA just won't quit will they. Their idea would require ISP's to spend money, they don't even want to spend money to upgrade their networks to deal with increased load.

  10. possible way they do it on Preventing My Hosting Provider From Rooting My Server? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Buddy of mine had a box at ovh and he found ssh keys stored in the "/root/.ssh" which can be setup to allow log in without need of the password, he found stored ssh keys in there from them and log's showing someone from the datacenter going in there and poking around. you should check in there to see if there are keys in there and delete them and change all your passwords.

  12. Re:anything goes on Modded Xbox Bans Prompt EFF Warning About Terms of Service · · Score: 1

    They have the right to run their service the way they want to. they also have the right to change their terms of service when ever they want to and don't even have to tell you. if you thought modding a console and never would get banned well they you were ignorant and its no excuse to take it out on them for it, just like the law you are still guilty

  13. what they believe on Modded Xbox Bans Prompt EFF Warning About Terms of Service · · Score: 1

    MS believes that if you mod your console it is sole purpose for playing pirated games even if you only use backup legit games, they have no way to tell the difference if you own the game legit or pirated it, or if you even download games at all. Its a case of Collateral Damage. Since you remote the copy protection coding outta the console they actually have a case against you like mpaa had against programs that removed the protection on dvd's for making backup's

    valve made a problem that takes all the crap of needing to keep disc's around that can get scratched. plus they made a system of drm that works and don't treat everyone like pirates. Also don't crash machines and cause more headaches for the legit customer then the pirates.
