  1. Re:Future Tech won't handle it on Neil deGrasse Tyson Outlines a Plan For Saving Earth From Asteroids · · Score: 1

    It would be midly entertaining, but because they wouldn't hit their goal, the funds would not be released...

    Let me get this straight, in the same post you complain that we won't work together and fix the problem and then also chastise "socialism" - Do you think there is a private company who would be doing this save for the chains of government?

    Thats not how argument works - you don't get to make some rediculous unqualified statement and then weasel out of providing support for it - but because its Friday and I'm up for a rabbit chase, start with this one

    Second, private and voucher schools have the best special needs education in the world. Their care far surpasses anything you'll find in public school. They also have the best schools for troubled children that have obedience issues.

    Wow... got a source for any of those assertions. Or are you wiggle words enough to prevent a quantatative analysis of your statement...

    So you don't want more things opened up - seems counter intuitive?

  6. Re:Evidence on What Happens To Your Files When a Cloud Service Shuts Down? · · Score: 1

    Oh yes, talking about cloud services on megaupload is the same as talking about large scale enterprise cloud services on AWS or Google - stop with the FUD please, I already had my daily dose of BS. Cloud services are not a panacia, but used in conjustion with on site and other 3rd party back up they can help small and medium business expand quicker than if they were required to purchase everything in house.

  7. Re:Who even gives a shit about high school anymore on High School Reunions — Facebook's Newest Victim? · · Score: 1

    Do you realize that TV sitcoms don't portray real life to any meaningful degree of accuracy? I found both worthwhile, and enjoy seeing both friends from high school and friends from college - the subsets don't really intersect at all either.

  8. Re:Ferrari without a paint job on X-Men Origins Pirate Draws a 1-Year Sentence · · Score: 2

    This is the problem with trying to please Comic book people in a major motion picture ADAPTATION. The script writers have to take short cuts to make the movie film length, and that cuts into the many years of development that exists in Comic book universe. It's absurb to think that the writers need to stay so many degrees away from the comics, as it is a completely different medium to tell a similar story. If you want complex back stories, stick to a medium which can build upon the stories. Feature Films are not your bag, but don't try to ruin it for the rest of us.

  10. Re:I've noticed this too on Europe's Largest IT Company To Ban Internal Email · · Score: 1

    A even more sleazy company could send all its backups to its lawyers, so they are protected by attorney/client privilege.

    Generally speaking, just sending the documents would not create privledged status.

  11. Re:Ass-backwards "solution" on NY Senators Want To Make Free Speech A Privilege · · Score: 2

    The correct solution is for adults to help kids learn how to deal with it, not find ways to make it illegal.

    And when the adults are part of the problem? http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=3882520&page=1 You could have just as easily said:

    Being abused/raped/assulted etc... is a part of life. It's GOING to happen. It sucks, but that's how it is.

    And it would have sounded just as stupid.

  14. Re:Free OSS for lawyers? on Open Source For Lawyers? · · Score: 1

    You like to generalize, don't you. Are you discounting and support contracts that would be generated through FOSS support companies. Just because the license is free doesn't mean it doesn't generate jobs, or cost money on the bottom line. Would you feel the same way if any other industry making a move? Are you just irrationally biased against lawyers?

  15. Re:Who wins.......... on Lawsuit Claims LegalZoom Is Practicing Law Without a License · · Score: 1

    Except people DO treat it like legal advice - and it gives the impression that any will or trust it generates is legally sound. The problem here lies that people who do really on these programs will not have their actual wishes carried out because the software didn't intake properly, or failed to account for X scenario. I don't beleive the best course of action for the profession is to sue on unauthorized practice statutes, but more should be done to protect the public from these types of operations.

    I could maybe believe cost effective for power/resource consumption - but it would be rather difficult to gage the effectiveness of something which does not exist yet

  22. Re:We are not alone on Baby's First TSA Patdown · · Score: 1

    No pat downs. They *gasp* profile.

    See, when you say they profile - it has a different meaning that the typical meaning over here in America. Profiling in America means 'what colour/creed are you' whereas over there, a profile is a set of answers to common but well placed questions. It is much more intensive and requires much more training for the profilers. Not saying I am against real profiling over here, but the likely outcome would be a mismash garbage where brown people are terr'ists

  23. Re:business models on TwitPic Will Sell Your Photos, But No Cash For You · · Score: 1

    That still exists, but does not always make the best choice for certain industries. Would have Facebook become as popular had it been a pay service? It's hard to tell, but as a student during its start-up - I would venture to guess not.

  24. Re:BREAKING NEWS!!! on TwitPic Will Sell Your Photos, But No Cash For You · · Score: 2

    It seems like you are forgetting that they can already monitize the service, as most of these image services also force a page load, which means some sort of ad revenue. Your way is not the only way to make a buck...

  25. Re:Infrared imaging of homes ... on Is Your Electricity Meter Spying On You? · · Score: 1

    How did they get that evidence without a court order? Getting the court order for the data from the electric company should require some other evidence right?

    Some police agencies have tried overflying neighborhoods and noting infrared hot spots. A home that is pumping out "too much" heat may be the tip off. Note that warrants do not require the same burden of proof as conviction at trial, warrants only need "reasonable" cause. Like odors, IR leaking into the public domain needs no warrant.

    Maybe you are not in the United States, but that type of "through the wall" sensing would be considered a search here - even written by numb nuts Scalia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyllo_v._United_States
