  1. They probably hope to achieve the same thing everyone who has attacked France in the past has...AN EASY VICTORY!
    Thank you, I'll be here all night.

  2. Theives are dumb...or is it the government? on San Jose May Put License Plate Scanners On Garbage Trucks · · Score: 1

    Because everyone knows that the first thing a car thief doesn't do is remove the license plate. And the second thing they don't do is park the stolen car in a garage or warehouse for stripping.

  3. Goodbye DRM!?!?!?! on Hidden Debug Mode Found In AMD Processors · · Score: 1

    Methinks this could be very useful in defeating many types of DRM. I'm thinking in particular DRM implementations similar to CSS, AACS, BD+, etc. Could this spell the end of DRM for once and for all? One can hope! Any experts care to elaborate (I'm no software developer nor a CPU engineer)?

  4. Consumer financial sense??? on Oxford Dictionary Considers Going Online Only · · Score: 1

    So instead of paying $1,165 for something you can touch and have access to whenever you want (and possibly resell) Oxford thinks consumers would rather pay $8,850 ($295/year * 30 years (rough average time between releases)) and get something that they cannot access whenever they want (servers go down, power outages, etc.) instead? Someone help me out here...I can't see the rational here. Maybe Oxford will make it available for download on iTunes :)

  5. Re:Now I'm completly lost on The Milky Way's Black Hole Is Not So Quiescent · · Score: 1

    So does that mean that a collapsed Brown Dwarf is known as an Asshole?

    If that's the case, I had no idea us Americans were celestial bodies!

  6. I don't see the problem on Apple, New York City In Legal Dispute Over Logo · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Where's the problem here? It's not like NYC tried to call themselves "i(The Big Apple)" or "The Big iApple". I also wonder about all of those T-Shirts and bumper stickers that read "I NYC". Do you think people will start getting sued for wearing one or will it be the manufacturer for making them? "Next up at 10, supermarkets across the nation selling apples must pay licensing fees to Apple, Inc. for displaying them on their shelves and using them in their weekly advertisements."

  7. Getting Closer on RIAA's Boston University Subpoena Quashed · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It looks like our Judges are finally getting a little closer to actually getting a clue when it comes to modern issues. If only we can convince them to pass a ruling to end these RIAA witch hunts we might be able to focus on some more important and pressing issues. Hey a guy can wish!
