  1. Re:Yes, and... on GPS Tracking Without a Warrant Declared Legal · · Score: 1

    Yeah, well perhaps not. The best thing is to go with #1 - 'Hey - it must have fallen off the car and got run-over' They really would have a hard time proving otherwise.

    Strangely enough, I inspect the underside of my car - suspension, wheel wells, body pan, bumpers and skid plates fairly often as I tend to do a lot of off-road driving and I like to keep my car in reasonable shape. That being said - I think that a large number of people have *never* seen the underside of their cars.

  3. Yes, and... on GPS Tracking Without a Warrant Declared Legal · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If I find such a device on my car, I will either: 1. Smash it into little tiny bits. 2. Attach it to another car at random. 3. Call the bomb squad an tell them that there is something suspicious on my car that I did not put there. 4. Ignore it. 5. Ebay, baby! Track that mother fuckers!

  4. So freaking what?! on Apple Exec Stashed $150,000 In Shoe Boxes · · Score: 1

    So the bugger had some cash in shoe boxes. It may be stupid, but that in itself is not against the law.

    The U.S.S.A. Please leave your rights, money, and all possessions in the tray by the door before you go in.

  6. No way. on Time To Dump XP? · · Score: 1

    I've tried Windies 7. It has *some* good things, but overall it still sucks great big donkey balls. Many of my applications will either not run correctly or simply will not run, and I'm not about to shell out 1,000's of bucks to upgrade my main applications. And then some of them require to run in a mode compatible with older graphics standards, so any of the nice *features* of Windies 7 are lost. I also really don't like the attitude (of Microblot) that they know more about what I want than I do. F**K Bill Gates and the horse he rode in on. GET OFF MY LAWN!! Punk kids. Don't upgrade - what's the point?

  7. Re:This just reaffirms... on Hacking Automotive Systems · · Score: 1

    Actually, a 1969 VW Squareback is the best, fuel injected, handles great, and is more solid than the beetle. As for myself, I just purchased a 1973 Toyota Land Cruiser - it's so basic it did not even have a stock radio.

  8. Re:Zuckerberg's attitude is clear on Facebook Calls All-Hands Meeting On Privacy · · Score: 1

    The solution is clear - Kill Zukerberg. Problem solved.

  9. Re:Take them back on Avatar Blu-Ray DRM Issues · · Score: 1

    Ummm... Yes, they do - they will exchange it for a copy of the same movie. I know, I've had to do it.

  10. Re:Sex on Wisconsin DA Threatens Arrests Over Sex Ed · · Score: 1

    I am so sorry for you.

  11. Re:Thank you Apple! on Apple Removes Wi-Fi Finders From App Store · · Score: 1

    Beware those who would deny you Information. For in their heart they dream themselves your master.

    Amen to that brother.

  12. So, it's just as they specify. on iPhone's Liquid Sensors Can Be Triggered By Wintertime Use · · Score: 1

    It clearly stated that the non-operating temperature range is -20 to 45 C, so you would expect that if the iphone is subjected to this temperature range, is *will* become 'non-operating'.

  13. Re:Help us Hari Seldon, You're Our Only Hope! on Emmerich Plans Foundation As a 3D Epic · · Score: 1

    The trouble is that there is a secret force out there - but not to preserve civilization - only their own profits and selfish goals. So, no. They will not step in and prevent this from happening.
