  1. Re:WTF??? on Sirius, XM Merger Gets FCC Approval · · Score: 1

    unlimited range

    Unfortunately, I cannot listen to Sirius here in Hawaii. I had Sirius built in to my car when I lived on the mainland, but the only way to listen to it here in Hawaii is via the internet and I'm not going to pay for the internet.

    Hopefully, in the future, they will get a satellite over the islands so that we can get a signal.

  2. Common Sense on EFF To Fight Border Agent Laptop Searches · · Score: 1
    While I don't agree with them searching people's laptops, people should be taking precautionary measures anyways like have Truecrypt partitions. Atleast then if your laptop gets stolen or lost (not like we have never heard of that before), your information might be protected.

    Or to give the customs personnel a hard time, have your computer boot into your favorite Linux OS!

  3. Interesting bits on McAfee Picks the Most Dangerous TLDs · · Score: 5, Interesting
    I am willing to bet that there are a lot more .com site's registered than .cn or .info or whatnot, so the fact that 5% of the .com's are flagged is huge, seeing that most people think about going to .com's before anything else.

    One other interesting note is that .05% of .gov's are listed as dangerous. So is that like from when the www.nsa.gov website left that tracking cookie on your computer or is there a actual government website out there that is actually dangerous to visitors?

  4. Re:Why should she go away? on Barack Obama Wins Democratic Nomination · · Score: 2, Informative

    and the continuing decline of the economy You forgot to mention that the .com burst happened during the Clinton administration and the economy recovered during the Bush administratation. Even after the Demecrats took control of the congress after the 06 election, the US economy still managed to get to the point that it is today. So how would having a Demecratic president change anything?
  5. Doesn't Sony get it? on Sony Announces "Qore" Playstation Bundle · · Score: 1

    This just in... Sony developes a new worthless product and expects the public in large to pay for it.
