  1. Re:I agree, its an American problem on Australian ISPs Claim Net Neutrality Is an 'American Problem' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's not called a monopoly, but a backup of the American financial system.

    When the biggest banks of this country fail and you look in your wallet those plastic cards that you so loving hold will be useless. The mortage on your new house won't go through because hey where is the capital to do it? There isn't. We need these big financial giants to stay afloat.

    I am all in support of bailouts with regulations. The deregulation of the financial industry caused this mess. It's time to put them back in their place. It appears most politicians agree with me.

  2. Re:What? on Australian ISPs Claim Net Neutrality Is an 'American Problem' · · Score: 1

    Pfft The problem at the state level is the fact that states differ far to much on many things to make such a system work. Heck the whole civil war was fought on states right. The South took state's rights to heart and look where it got them! Yeah they lost.

    Hell we should just dissolve the Federal Government and become a 50 tiny states. Much like Europe (without this EU mumbo jumbo :-p )

  3. Re:passionless technician on Wall Street's Collapse Is Computer Science's Gain · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I have an intense passion in classical music. Yet I want the ability to travel the world and support a life style that is atypical to that of a musician.

    Passion vs lifestyle. It isn't as easy as it sounds

    .

  4. Post Hoc on Wall Street's Collapse Is Computer Science's Gain · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This can be logically stated as Post Hoc.

    A occurs before B.

    Therefor A is the cause of B.

    Just because the markets are hurting right now doesn't make students more likely to apply for a career in CS or IT. Heck you can do far more broader things with a business degree or an MBA than you can with a degree in CS.

  5. Re:How should I quench my thirst? on Email-only Providers? · · Score: 1

    Power thirst! Duh.

  6. Re:Leave something funny - not code bombs on Defusing the Threat of Disgruntled IT Workers · · Score: -1, Redundant

    In Soviet Russia, you don't work on Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris works on you!

  7. Hey you know what this is in the real world? on Judge Munley is So Out of My Top 8 · · Score: 1

    It's called libel. We have the right to free speech, but we don't have the right to make up stuff willy nilly about people. From what the article said the student called the teacher a sex addict. That sounds like libel pure and simple to me. In the world that lands someone in court and you can end up either being forced or settling for some god awful amount of money against you.

    The student can be thankful that she just got suspended and not dragged into a court over this. Then again I'm waiting for a principal to actually sue a student over something like this. That would be funny!

  8. Oh this is too easy on Successful Moonlighting For Geeks? · · Score: 1

    This will work really well and appeal to the inner geek! Take out a home loan and apply for it online! Easy quick cash and since you did it online it's pretty geeky!

  9. Re:Loopholes? on Speculation On Large-Scale Phone Location Snooping · · Score: 1

    Ok I'll bite. So I guess it's legal for me to take satellite TV signals that are being bombarded into my yard and decode it so I can get free HBO and pay-per-view porn!

  10. Well this is easy on Unsolicited Offer For My Personal Domain Name? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Just charge an arm and a leg for the address. Check to see if you can pull a six figure price for the domain. Seriously go for it!

  11. Re:He writes lyrics too on The Best Gaming PC Money Can Buy · · Score: 1

    What's the range of a viola? about 250 ft.

  12. I'll rebel on Nonprofit Group Sends Filesharing Propaganda To Students · · Score: 1

    I'll fight this by downloading more movies, music, and software over the internet. Heck I would even download a car or a clothes illegally off of the internet if i could ;-)

  13. Mozilla Vista on Firefox To Get a Nag Screen For Upgrades · · Score: 1

    Would you like to upgrade Mozilla Firefox? Cancel? Allow?

  14. Re:What are they thinking? on Internet Radio's "Last Stand" · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is incorrect. After working at a radio station for three years now the reason you hear the same "fucking" song on multiple stations is because it's popular. OTA radio stations want ad money and popular songs give that.

  15. Mmm on Where Has All My Spam Gone? · · Score: 1

    I ate it.

  16. Too late on Collegiate Resistance To RIAA In Michigan · · Score: 2, Informative

    Ithaca College has already bent to the demands of the RIAA. Their administrators will release the information of any student to any organization claiming to be working for them. It's almost embarrassing. I hope this changes. I really do.

  17. Fireworks on TV on Olympic Opening Ceremony Fireworks Were (Partly) Faked · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I personally hate watching fireworks on TV. They always dub some annoying song over top of the show so I can't hear the explosion and cheering. Especially over the fourth of july. I hate watching fireworks with "America the Beautiful" over top of the explosion. I want to hear the bang!

  18. Wait a second...? on Evidence of Russian Cyberwarfare Against Georgia · · Score: 1

    This sounds oddly similar to Splintercell 1. Maybe Nicholadze is real and Sam is actively working to stop this menace!

  19. streisand effect on Massachusetts Sues to Halt Defcon Subway Hacking Talk · · Score: 1

    Let's post a copy of the powerpoint slide in as many places as possible. If it works for Barb and the MPAA it'll work for the Great State of Mass!

  20. Hmm on How Phishers Think, Act, and Make a Profit · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hackers hacking hackers? That's a mouthful! What's next? Bankers banking bankers?

  21. Title? on Apple Sued For Turning Workers Into Slaves · · Score: 1

    Geeze! They just didn't pay overtime wages. Slaves would be making them work after they were off the time clock. I wasn't paid overtime for my 43 hours of weekly service once. You know what I did? I went to my HR lady and told her what happened. Two weeks later there was a mysterious 32.50$ in my paycheck.

  22. Re:Cuil Proves Nothing on Cuil Proves the Bubble Is Back · · Score: 1

    Why is this marked flamebait? Cuil is nothing more then those random search pages when you mistype a web address.

  23. Ok I understand the problems of our current set up on GENI To Replace Internet, Gets $12M Funding · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    But seriously there are more pressing issues that could use that meager 12 million dollars. How about we cut the defense spending in half and invest it in alternative fuels? That way we won't need to milk other countries for oil. My super over simplified view of the world is entirely mine and no one else!

  24. Solution! on Are There Any Smart E-mail Retention Policies? · · Score: 1

    Set Outlook to automatically forward messages to Gmail!

  25. A good summary on Second Mac Clone Maker Set To Sell, With a Twist · · Score: 1

    Instead of fancy press releases why doesn't open tech say this instead: Bring it Apple! I mean seriously this is all they are doing. I hope they can get enough capital to stop Apple's legal department.
