  1. Re:But.... on AOL IM 'Away' Message Security Hole Found · · Score: 1

    why the fuck is that function even allowed or needed. I dont need my browser interfacing with AIM.....the only semi useful one would be the one to open a window to send a message but even then....

  2. Re:Make your voice known on More On Shatner's Possible Return To Trek · · Score: 1

    Ben had positive things to say about the project, judging by his releases/website. I am really surprised about though as Ben is actually a musician and shatner is....shatner.

    Ben also will be appearing on Bills tour to play a few shows with him.

  3. Re:Sorry folks on VoIP Terms of Service May Surprise You · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Jesus christ. You know. Free market does not always work. Sometimes people do need to be protected from massive corporations.

    This isn't email- inherently insecure. This is voice communications. Voice communications that recently began the trek to being legislated as such...with 911, taxes, etc.

    Wake up and smell the coffee. There are plenty of places people would like to "take a stand" but it's kind of hard to take a stand against million dollar corporations who really don't give a shit. We need to collectively stand up and say(legislate) you can't do this and must do this....because if we DONT, they WONT. It's that simple. Corporations do not care about people.

  4. Re:Strange... on Seagate Says Ex-Employee Can't Work For Competitor · · Score: 1

    If you aren't willing to work for a company that requires one, then find a different job.

    Im sick of this bullshit. You know, there is nothing wrong with people being protected from corporations pushing them around. Did you forget the industrial revolution or something. Did you forget the long long history of companies exploiting workers. Sometimes it seems like we haven't made much progress. It doesn't have to be an "or else". As others have stated: if they *VALUE* the fact that he worked there and has knowledge so much, then pay him for not working. It's that simple. I'm sorry....I have no pity or sympathy for million dollar companies. Call me crazy but I'll side with the worker anyday.

    RTFA dumbass. He had worked there 17 years....its not like he got in on a 2 year contract for top secret stuff...hes been there for a long while and has been involved in alot. This is pure bullshit.

    They cannot restrict his freedom of work. Now if he has trade secret knowledge and they can prove it's been broken, fine. But if he uses his knowledge to find another different better way, then they can cry in a corner.

  9. This is not to compete with Alienware on Dell fights Alien Invasion · · Score: 1

  10. Re:If it happesn on British Schoolkids Get Copyright Education · · Score: 1

    I didn't know piracy was a problem...I thought most of that was smacked down by the coast guard.

    Oh copyright violations? Yah. I know...except, their sales increased not decreased. Interesting....

  11. Re:We/they may be better off alone for now on Are We Alone in the Universe? · · Score: 1

    Yah...that is true, you have a point:

  12. Re:That's fine... but on Anti-Wi-Fi Wallpaper · · Score: 1

    Why use wireless at all then? I'm not seeing the point. Maybe if the outside of the building was shielded, but a room?

  13. Re:Bogus conclusions. on Exploring Linux Desktop Myths · · Score: 1

    ummm
    Whenever I come to a situation where IE doesn't support a standard...I don't cater and halfass it to work. I just don't do it and I find another standards based way to make the site a go. Pisspoor development that just hacks it so "it works in IE" is pathetic and embarassing. Test in IE, yes. But don't play with it's bugs...it's like giving a drug addict free drugs.

  19. Re:This is a good thing on iTunes For Linux, Thanks To CodeWeavers · · Score: 0, Troll

    omg........ I understand the usability and looks of iTunes is nice, but are you retarded? You find it difficult to play music? You load the file and push play....it's not like xmms doesn't support playlists or (j)umping....zinf isn't bad either and has better playlisting support

    I gave you credit until that comment. You don't listen to music because it is difficult....interesting.
