  1. Re:Of course on RIAA Now Targets Pirates' Parents · · Score: 1

    It is only negligent if you invited them into your home and handed them the gun. If they break into your locked home, you have done all you can to effectively secure the firearm from their use.

    Plus, how the heck are they going to charge you if you are dead??

  2. Re:Of course on RIAA Now Targets Pirates' Parents · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No, it should come with heavy penalties for misuse (Oh yeah, it already does!). Things that are not in your control are not your responsibility. That includes the actions of other people. A stolen firearm is not your responsibility, if you did your best to keep it secure.

    Owning a firearm is a right, not a privilege. It does not have to be demanded, it already exists. Just because immature people are frightened of people who own and use firearms, does not mean we are responsible for your feelings. Our "circle of responsibility" does not extend that far, nor should it.

  3. Re:Don't you realize that ... on Diebold Voting Systems Grossly Insecure · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Perhaps the issues of the Democrats registering people who could not legally vote along with trying to getting the out of state military votes thrown out are also issues worth considering?

  4. Marketing Idiots on Game Makers Aren't Chasing Women · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Most of the women I know are not interested in games period. They simply don't associate games with entertainment. If they do, they focus on puzzle type games (like Tetris) and strategy games (like Heroes of Might & Magic). After that, I think it is just marketing. If they are too lazy to think that far ahead, it is their own damn fault for missing the market.

  5. Re:Religion on Linux Reconstructing Tree of Life? · · Score: 1

    Actually, I have. It simply says that God created everything. That He imposed order on chaos. It does not say much about His process. And it states that he took 6,000 years to do it. It does not say HOW He did it, however, just that He did so.

  6. Re:Religion on Linux Reconstructing Tree of Life? · · Score: 1

    If you think the statement through, it implies a hierarchy. Gratis, if you have never read the creation account, you would have no thoughts on it. But if you have, it is all about organizing matter out of chaos. That implies that order is being imposed.

  7. Re:Religion on Linux Reconstructing Tree of Life? · · Score: 1

    Sure it will. All religions believe and have explained that God created everything, they don't explain how He did it. And if He did create everything, then you would expect everything to be related in some kind of an organized hierarchy. All they are doing is using the computers to determine that hierarchy.

  8. That applies.... on Protecting Cities from Hijacked Planes · · Score: -1, Troll

    This applies to all Muslim countries. If you don't understand a religion, don't try to defend it. The Muslim religion is violent one; it is based on violence and those that receive the highest reward in their afterlife are those that die by violent means during a religious war.

  9. It wo\uldn't work...... on Protecting Cities from Hijacked Planes · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    All you are showing is a bit of ignorance about their culture and assuming that they share your values. They don't. Their value system encourages them to treat us (Western countries) like trash. They have an obligation, according to that value system, to kill us off if they can. It as much a part of their social background as the Christian Golden Rule is to ours. Try visiting a Muslim country some time. It is a real eye opener.

  10. SPAM vs. Mass Emailing on Court Rejects Intel Electronic Trespass Charge · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Somehow they have to define, legally, a difference between mass emails and commercially driven mass emails (that is spam). Maybe it can hinge on the user being able to easily find the sender and remove themselves from the list.

    I have thrown around the idea a couple of times with friends the concept of having a domain (a SPM domain perhaps) that you have to register to send spam. All spam would originate from this domain and would be easy to block because of it. People who want it (brain damaged as they are) could get it and the rest of us could avoid it. And of course hiding the origin of the email would be a finable offense.

  11. Nope, right question..... on Is (Embedded) Linux Worth The Effort? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Maybe, but most people ask that question based on what they know and what they have available to them for hardware. Especially things like fuel injection programmer for a motorcycle or car, for example. You are basing needs on pre-existing conditions and equipment and what will âoedo the job.â And chances are, computers are what you know least. Meaning, you know just enough to get by. Things like Tuneboy run on laptops running some kind of WinO$. I would love to see something like it on a dedicated unit that would save maps, but am not to that level of knowledge yet. And if it was open source? Even better.

  12. Better yet..... on Sen Hatch Would Like To Destroy Filetraders' PCs · · Score: 1

    That would be great. But first we need to have technology that automatically executes politicians when they propose stupid and unconstitutional laws. They would, of course, get two warnings, and on the third violation they would be summarily executed.

  13. When.... on CD Price-Fixing Suit Ruling · · Score: 5, Insightful

    do they lower the prices?

  14. Re:Why just infrequent account purges? on Blizzard Deletes 112,000 Diablo II Accounts · · Score: 5, Informative

    I think the last major patch was in December. That hardly qualifies as two years. Also, a patch came out with the expansion.

    If you play on Battlenet much, it downloads them automatically before you connect (Yeah, a "duh" I know, but this is someone who thinks it has been two years since the last patch.).

  15. Re:Bring idea! on Buy Your Own Aircraft Carrier · · Score: 1

    Like you want to give Micro$oft any ideas? They could actually afford to do it!

  16. Re:I can see a lawsuit waiting to happen. on Underworld Trailer · · Score: 1

    I think there is a whole generation of folks who missed the vampire versus werewolf books and movies of the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
