    Unlike the real thing, microsoft shit still stinks 7 years later.

  5. rule of law? on Drone Camera Tornado Coverage Raises Press Freedom Questions · · Score: 1

    or the law of rules. In those halcyon days of old, when a new tech came along, the government rightfully ignored it. When the tech started to cause problems or started to make serious money they would step in and make sure that the interest of the 'people' were regulated. Now we have tons of unregulated business models and fewer unregulated personal freedoms.

  9. Re:Rent-seeking? on Apple Reportedly In Talks With Comcast For Separate Apple Streaming Path · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They have the cable tv mentality. I work for a small cable company and I can assure you that the ultimate goal is to leverage the small guys out of business. Tell me one large company in this country that isn't set up like a despots dream. Its funny how america is about democracy on the surface but allows non democratic entity to attain the vote in the country.

  10. Simple really on Microsoft's Attempt To Convert Users From Windows XP Backfires · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Most People don't want to relearn anything. They know how to do this or do that and its different the second you move up to the next version after windows xp and office 2003. Microsoft has to accept its customer base doesn't want to have to learn how to drive a new operating system or application every few years.

  11. you got questions... on RadioShack To Close 1,100 Stores · · Score: 1

    We got dumb looks. I stopped going in radio shack when the guy told me they didn't sell food when I told him I needed to order some chips.

  12. Hope they harden it. on Your Next Car's Electronics Will Likely Be Connected By Ethernet · · Score: 2

    Ethernet is notoriously susceptible to the emp from a close lighting strike. If you don't think so, just work in the cable industry for a while. After every serious lighting storm we will have several modems that appear fine except the ethernet is blown. It is usually the only thing burned out in the house. Often the rf side is still working fine and sending information back to the management system. It will suck when you have to go into a parts store and say gimme a box of ethernet chips for my car.

  13. booster/stresser sites on 200-400 Gbps DDoS Attacks Are Now Normal · · Score: 1

    These services are available for any kid with five dollars. The last one that hit my network knocked us off and our upstream provider. They use spoofed packets to machines with services such as chargen/echo to amplify the attacks. If you contact one of these services they will threaten or try to extort money from you.

    In what way? He compares a clear crime with a supposed crime. His case makes every person who ever retold what they have learned a criminal act.

    Not the same thing. Not even close. Private dwellings on the internet are supposed to protected by some form of authentication.. Its a enormous library. If you want something kept secret don't be a luser and put it on the internet. I guarantee the root cause of this is some jackass who wanted to be able to access their data from home. He didn't go around url hacking, he used google. Its like they put it in the yellow pages and got pissed when someone saw it.

  16. Tell me on Bing Censoring Chinese Language Search Results For Users In the US · · Score: 1

    What governmental model does a corporation represent? I've always seen the corps at best as a communist state. At worst, a personality cult.

    Go buy offline explorer and set it to any large domain or wget for that matter. Make it ignore robots.txt and grab every link and soon you will have yourself at terabyte of fun. Its bullshit to think that if its publicly accessible that person can't make use of it. How many times have you laughed and said I simply must have that cute little kitty for my person collection? Thats you lolcat thief. This is retaliation for some small minded crat who got his panties in a wad. The only place this guy went wrong is perhaps he should have told the journalist that he could search google for his search term and find the goodies.

  20. Couldn't someone sue them for negligence in allowing these documents to be publicly accessible? Really if it was that sensitive, shouldn't the button monkey that allowed them to be indexed by google be the most responsible?

  21. Diatomaceous earth works. on CES 2014: A Bedbug Detector that Looks Interesting but has Detractors (Video) · · Score: 1

    A bag cost nine bucks at a the farm store. Its not a poison. Its a FDA approved additive for livestock feed. It is composed of fossilized diatoms. Works well on fire ants also. Doesn't really kill them all, it just encourages them to move on. It will get rid of many small insects.

  25. simple instructions on Ars Checks Out CyanogenMod's New Installer · · Score: 2

    I installed cm10.1 on a Samsung captivate today. Took it from its stock froyo build straight to ics in just 30 minutes. The instructions are more complicated than a one button upgrade but really the problem isn't that there is no way back. The problem is that people don't demand the same service for their purchase from the manufacturer.
