  1. Re:Uh, SSL? on ISPs Will Now Be Copyright Cops · · Score: 1

    While what you're talking about is doable, it is a lot of work for little benefit to the ISPs. A more probable workaround is for the copyright holder to pose as a peer, see what IPs they get connected to and report those to the ISPs.

    They only have to show a preponderance of evidence if it goes to court, the ISPs are under no such obligation.

  3. Re:Plan? It's already started on ISPs Will Now Be Copyright Cops · · Score: 1

    Copyright holders won't shut up as long as they think there may be even one person they could get money from that they aren't. The only way around that is to get rid of copyright. (or I suppose, you could get rid of the copyright holders, but that gets messy)

  4. Re:But why do ISPs care? on ISPs Will Now Be Copyright Cops · · Score: 4, Informative

    ISPs are not common carriers, they were granted some of the benefits that common carriers get but without the obligations.

    At least they admit that it's not ready unlike other companies that make you pay for the beta quality product.

    That would only be a good analogy if the dams were full of holes, had never stopped a flood, and generally got in everyone's way.

    But CEOs don't do time in concrete cubes, they do time at resorts with fences around them.

  8. Re:Stupid Move on California Assembly Approves Internet Tax · · Score: 1

    It's as bad as you may have suspected, there are (or at least were a few years ago) a few instances of zip codes having multiple tax codes.

    Even with how little control we have over government, it's still more than we have over businesses.

    Renounce your US citizenship, once there are no US citizens they will stop monitoring them.

    How about a "+1 disagree" mod?

    The tech in question isn't much use for finding him. As for eliminating him you only use your best tech if that's what is required to complete the mission. In this particular case our best tech would most likely have been overkill.

    Though that may have been the Chinooks that came in later, no way to tell.

    In case it's needed for an actual war instead of pretending to be the world's police.

    How about if the CEO can exercise it whenever he wants but he can't sell the stock for 10 years after he buys it.

  17. Re:Proof Positive on Righthaven Defies Court In Domain Name Ruling · · Score: 1

    Except that you'd need trillions of dollars to pay the court fees to sue everyone on earth a dozen times each, plus when the lawsuits are shown to be without merit you should be required to pay legal fees and damages from the time required of the defendants.

  18. Re:camera con? on Speed Tickets Challenged Based On Timestamped Photos · · Score: 1

    The trade off there is that the city/county doesn't get as much money, guess which they prefer.

  19. Re:and where's heisenberg? on Speed Tickets Challenged Based On Timestamped Photos · · Score: 1

    He doesn't have to prove that the radar was wrong, he has to give significant doubt as to the accuracy of the measurement, which I believe he has done. If the company producing the images doesn't want the timestamp used as evidence to that degree of accuracy, they shouldn't provide it.

    Yes, but then it would have been harder to market in China.

    Before the college I went to started using unique IDs for their students, professors would often post grades using the last 4 digits of the SSN, in alphabetical order.

    If you want to be able to make a scientific argument against religion you have to accept as a basis for your argument that there may be an omnipotent being of unknown motivations interfering with events. Such a being makes any scientific argument impossible.
