    But what about when Sony claims we only bought a license to view their movie? We're still left with encrypted movies we aren't able to backup....

    ...unless you should travel to the Hidden Temple, wherein lies the Brass Monkey, which might be guarded by horrible creatures in the Pit of Trial!

    Put two in craigslist's personals and the rest on eBay. That ought to do it!

    Why is this modded flamebait? It seems like a legitimate question for someone unfamiliar with why this is interesting.

    ...could this site have *any* more ads? Good lord, 15 seconds and there have already been THREE inline popup ads and a redirect ad, in addition to all the crap surrounding the article.

    There is also the possibility that it falls under any of the various national security provisions which allow for secret warrants such as this.

    C is the obvious answer here.

    I know I wouldn't be pleased with a termite charge. Imagine all the structural damage!

    Anyone else find it disturbing that this is funnier than it is insightful?

    Do you know what the difference is between a useful scientist and not-so-useful scientist?
    The not-so-useful scientist thinks like you. The useful one is the source for TFA.

    Like I said in my next post, IANAL, especially IANASL. Hopefully some helpful Swede comes around and corrects me.

    Bah, left out half my thought. I believe the immunity applies only to suits brought in civil court, though this is just an educated guess as IANAL.

    You're confusing criminal and civil law. Copyright infringement is a tort - an issue of civil law, whereas pedo's are violating criminal law.

    The civilians controlling the military are elected - directly or indirectly - by those who not part of the Federal Government. Take a wild guess at which of those two groups I was referring to and I'll get back to you.

  19. Re:cough on The Ignominious Fall of Dell · · Score: 1

    The major difference here - between Microsoft's 360 and Dell's PCs - is that Dell hid the fact that the devices were faulty from it's customers when asked. Lenovo on the other hand, acknowledged (to my knowledge) the existance of the problem once they'd become aware of it.

  20. Re:Sad to see this happen on With World Watching, Wikileaks Falls Into Disrepair · · Score: 5, Informative

    Wikileaks has never claimed to be unbiased. Assange himself explained that the organization will attempt to present material in a way to maximize impact. Stop confusing Wikileaks with the WSJ.

  21. Re: May We Assume? on With World Watching, Wikileaks Falls Into Disrepair · · Score: 1

    Unlikely. Wikileaks has already commented that a large portion of it's meager funding is going/went towards Assange's travel and safety needs, and to the attempt at organizing a legal defense for Manning.

    Yeah, those bastards. How dare they let the civilians controlling the military make informed decisions!
