  1. Re:Horray on Military Aircraft To Get All-Fiber Network Gear · · Score: 2

    Ohh IDK about that.

    If some of the other western countries who often have some high tech gear of their own teamed up with some of the countries that have massive amounts of troops and resources. (Think England and France for the western countries, and China and India for the population size) I think we might have a heck of a problem.

    Not to say China doesnt have alot of high tech military gear, just that I think the sheer number of boots on the ground they could deploy is their big thing.

    Since you obviously miss the point, that he has broken NO LAWS.

    Just because he did something that others can use to do bad does not mean he is GUILTY OF ANYTHING.

    Your the one here who does not seem to understand.

    If ford makes an extra grand off the gt package then they are loosing money.

    There are legitimate uses for the hack. I do not have to prove that no one is gonna use it illegitimately. It would be like saying Ford cannot sell cars because some people might use them in a robbery.

    Someone WILL use this improperly. Thats not geohots fault though.

    Hey everyone if you switch the spark plug wires on cylinders 2 and 4 you can turn a mustang into a mustang gt with an extra 15 hp.

    Would that be illegal? No, even if Ford didnt like it.

    Looks like you could at least buy one:

    The Game Boy also contains optional input and/or output connectors. On the left side of the system is an external power supply jack that allows users to use an external rechargeable battery pack or AC adapter (sold separately) instead of four AA batteries.

    Frankly its not hard to do either. There needs to be some failsafe evidence that the accused is guilty of a capitol offense. If there is no way to do this, well then there should be no capitol punishment.

    You think its safe to vote online? Only until a foreign government/ corporation (corrupt ISP perhaps) figures a way to submit votes for the candidate/policy they want instead of you.
    You could create a database to ensure a vote is registered to a name, in the hopes that it will slow down any one playing with the numbers. That creates a way to tell who voted for who though, and voting is supposed to be anonymous. I'm no Luddite but voting is best done in a booth on paper. The security issues doing it via the internet are extreme.

    You think contractors cost the government less then unions?

    Thats adorable. So naive.

    I know its conceited but I will quote myself.

    Putting someone to death without failsafe, bullet proof evidence is wrong.

    That is the essence of my post. What exactly gives you the idea that I would not convict without DNA evidence. I would not allow the death penalty without the evidence though.

    Without absolute evidence you always have the chance of killing an innocent person. Anyone who would risk killing an innocent person just to get vengeance is just as bad/evil as the person who committed the crime.

    Wont someone PLEASE think of the CHILDREN!! /sarcasm

    If they are so bad that they cant be trusted being anywhere near children, then they should be in some sort of psychiatric facility.
    If they can be trusted (aka the guy who took a leak in public) they should be released. If they do re offend then place them in said facility.

    Forcing them to live underneath an overpass is cruel and unusual punishment, especially for people who (by being released) have apparently already paid their debt to society.

  20. Re:WTF on Program Uses GPS To Track Sex Offenders · · Score: 1

    DNA evidence should be mandatory and the results should be checked by at least three labs. Putting someone to death without failsafe, bullet proof evidence is wrong.

    If you can make a case that ensures, absolutely positively ensures, that the defendant did the crime then I would not be closed minded to expanding the death penalty.

    Yes, they are detainees being kept outside the country to avoid our own country's legal system, and to avoid labeling them POWs. Either of those two actions would end up giving the detainees more rights, and apparently we think its cool to avoid respecting people's rights.

    I am also a veteran. I am disheartened by the way my country has acted with the whole gitmo issue.
