  1. Re:From the original article... on Judge Issues Temporary Order Blocking Expulsion For Refusing To Wear RFID Tag · · Score: 2

    And the Jews could have moved out of Germany before they where all rounded up. People like you can always make up some other option that isn't realistic can't you? Why not instead support someone who is fighting for their constitutional rights. I'm not even talking about wearing the damn thing right now I'm taking about being told "You are getting expelled but if you and your father never talk about this again then we will let you wear a disabled badge and let you stay. Boy getting expelled would sure ruin your life wouldn't it?" That is pure extortion, Give up your freedom of speech and be a good little party member and we'll just forget about everything...

  2. Re:But they don't advertise those standards... on Lenovo UEFI Bug Only Likes Windows and RHEL · · Score: 1

    They don't advertise miniPCI slots as available on the system. They advertise 802.11 B/G/N and Bluetooth 3.0 + EDR and or/WiDi support.
    They simply have included wireless functionality that happens to use miniPCI slots rather than being soldered to the main board.
    The fact that you can pull the system apart, and insert a different card in there isn't an advertised end user feature, and they clearly don't support it on their low end hardware to keep support costs (and thus unit costs) down.
    They only use a miniPCI Card in there so that they can offer different models with the same mainbaord and different capabilities, and so that they can swap out a bad card if they get a machine in for repair. It's not an advertised end user feature.

    It has nothing to do with support costs. It has to do with selling replacement parts at a huge markup....

  3. Re:They waited this long because? on NASA To Encrypt All of Its Laptops · · Score: 3, Informative

    Because the typical end user is stupid and forgets their password.

    On a normal laptop, this means a bit of inconvenience.

    On an encrypted laptop, this means a loss of all data.

    You have to have solutions for this problem in place before you can roll it out.

    No it doesn't. You add a second admin key to all the laptops.. It's not rocket science..

    I keep the house around 68F, so that means loads of AC in the hot summers of OK.

    Everything else you mention isn't a big draw; but for this one, sir, you should be ashamed of yourself. Unless you have some strange medical condition, setting your AC cold enough that most people would need a sweater is simply profligate waste.

    Why should he be ashamed? He pays for it... Not everyone needs to set their AC to a setting you agree with.

    I think the best way to sting them is in the payment process, pay with bad checks or on another tack, highly traceable instruments and pass the info along to law enforcement.

    Soo you're saying the best way to handle this is to commit a crime yourself, then gather up all the evidence and provide it to law enforcement?
