  1. Re:Mediadefender is the Punisher on MediaDefender Explains Itself · · Score: 5, Informative

    It would stnd to reason that if you have the right to be your own lawyer for defense your could be your own lawyer for prosecution of crimes committed against you.
    In a criminal case, the "victim" is not the individual, but rather society as a whole. The State brings the charges, because the state is the "victim." That's why the individual doesn't get to decide whether or not charges are filed, or have the final say in punishment. The individual victim's recourse is to file a civil suit.
  2. They didn't even mention the best part! on Focused Microwaves Could Enable Wireless Power Transfer · · Score: 1

    You know, the part where they reduced something to "20 times smaller" than it was... a 2000% reduction in size of *anything* is bigger news than wireless power transfer, if you ask me! Let's see... 100mm - (2000% * 100mm) = -1900mm? The possibilities are limitless! Or did they mean 1/20 the width...

  3. Re:Exceptional Battery Life on Thinkpad X300 With SSD Performance Evaluation · · Score: 1

    You'd be better off by saving a good load of money and just buying something that uses less power to begin with. Seriously? Can you reply to that many clearly worded posts without actually comprehending them? No, you would absolutely not be better off buying a lower-end laptop because it would lack desired functionality! The point isn't to buy a fast laptop and then turn it down and leave it; only a complete idiot would suggest that. Choice and versatility should come with the premium paid for a high-end laptop. Can you not imagine wanting a computer that can either be a fast gaming platform or a truly mobile device depending on the situation at hand?
