  1. Re:AT&T and Blackberry Maps on G2 Detects When Rooted and Reinstalls Stock OS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unfortunately, that doesn't apply to sufficiently large corporations, at least not without a lot more stuff to actually get the ball rolling.

  2. Predicted future news: on Facebook Patents Location Social Networking · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Companies patent widely implemented ideas and sue everyone. Oh wait, that's not new.

  3. Predicted Future news: on Politically Motivated Cyber Attacks · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Politically motivated cyber attack reports are spun into support for new laws bringing the US up to speed with the most draconian technology laws in the world - provide your password or go to jail forever, prove that the drawing is of an adult, and even prove that you have never interacted with anyone who has committed these cyber-crimes or go to jail by association!

  4. Predicted future news: on One Man's Fight Against Forum Spam · · Score: 3, Funny

    Forum spammer sues vigilante, gets both arrested. Vigilante does more time.

  5. Apparently my computer does not exist. on Geolocation XSS Tracker Proof of Concept · · Score: 1

    It has no data on my MAC, but here I am posting away. I wonder what sort of app I'm using to post without a computer.

  6. Re:Yes, let's all focus on the iPhone apps... on US Says Plane Finder App Threatens Security · · Score: 1

    Except for the unfortunate fact that other laws say you can't own that automatic weapon, and a large number of other people can't own any at all.

  7. Re:A minor setback on White House Pressuring Registrars To Block Sites · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, when they order all the "Darknets of Evil" to be removed, the horror will come to you. As will heavily armed people in the employ of the US Government.

  8. This is just a stopgap measure on White House Pressuring Registrars To Block Sites · · Score: 1

    until the *AA's can buy enough congressional support to give them the effective right to decide the content of the internet. Don't worry, they'll have enough votes bought soon.

  9. Will Virgin Galactic see this as a challenge? on Russian Firm Plans Commercial Space Station · · Score: 1

    Or will the Russians have the first Spaceport in SPAAAAACE?

  10. Re:NASA Personal? on House Passes NASA Authorization Bill · · Score: 1

    Citation Needles? Are those more like knitting needles or hypodermic needles?

  11. Re:Is revenue still increasing? on Android Software Piracy Rampant · · Score: 1

    Not according to the *AA groups. They will tell you that each pirate causes them to lose more money than each song/movie/program costs in the store. I don't know how, but their argument seems to be persuasive.

  12. Re:Koran. on Destroy Entire Websites With Asteroids Bookmarklet · · Score: 1

    Only if you post screenshots.

    Don't give people ideas. They might use them.

  16. Re:Another ban item to consider on Other Tech the Senate Would Have Banned · · Score: 1

    People would tell you that the blocks are being bought out so the companies can have a more healthy economy. People might be right.

  17. Re:I wish... on Other Tech the Senate Would Have Banned · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Except for when overly broad copyright means you are potentially infringing regardless of what you create.
    If three notes are enough to infringe upon a song, it is functionally impossible to make new, non-infringing songs. Similar arguments can be made about other fields.

  18. I guess this script is baaaad for you. on Twitter Hit With Second Worm In a Week · · Score: 1

    And I'm still not as bad as the Twit-head who lets scripts like that gets Twitted in the first place.

    Twit.

  19. Re:Graviton Diode? on Hawking Radiation Claimed Created In a Lab · · Score: 1

    And then the Quantum Police in their Quantum Speedtrap give us a ticket for violating the speed limit.

    I wonder what they take payment in...

    Well, as this case illustrates, they can do that, so goodbye now!

  22. Re:use is appropriate on AMD Offers Women Geek Dating Advice · · Score: 1

    There is a simple way to tell - take the possible monetary ruling in your favor, multiply it by your odds of success and then compare it to predicted lawyer fees.

    If fees >> payout, don't even think of it.
    If fees > payout, you should not sue for the money.
    If fees = payout, do it if it matches your principles.
    If payout > fees, suing looks good.
    If payout >> fees, why aren't you suing?

  23. Re:Fair Use and Safe Harbor, Perhaps? on Review: Civilization V · · Score: 1

    Tell that to Serebii.net. Nintendo does not like images of Pokemon Black and White, and they have more lawyers and lawyer money than any individual ever will.

  24. And how many people on /. will ever see them? on In Case of Emergency, Please Remove Your Bra · · Score: 1

    No, your mom's eBra does not count. Or eBras still in the packaging.
