  1. Re:It should go both ways. on UK ISPs To Pay 25% of Copyright Enforcement Costs · · Score: 1

    And if someone finally notices that, magical lawyering aside, that *AA and *AA2, *AA3 will be created to charge massive "consulting" fees to *AA2 before they can be accused of making a profit.

    And so on, until everyone runs out of money trying to prove that giving yourself money does not make you broke.

  2. Re:Bad consequences on Court Says First Sale Doctrine Doesn't Apply To Licensed Software · · Score: 1

    So people don't bribe politicians?

  3. Re:if authors are to ever get paid on Sony Breathes New Life Into Library Books · · Score: 1

    They don't forget that the author needs food and rent money, they don't care. The author is to write the book and pray that people donate enough money to live on, as far as they are concerned. Or possibly get a job that does not involve digital goods.

  4. Re:Net neutrality on GoogleTV, AppleTV and the Battle For The Living Room · · Score: 1

    If a fight is picked, it will probably be all of the cable companies vs. Google and Apple. Plus their lawyers and politicians, on both sides.

  5. Re:Bundle discount on GoogleTV, AppleTV and the Battle For The Living Room · · Score: 1

    I've never gotten cable without a mandatory leased cable box. Even for the most basic package.

  6. Re:IRS scam on Cybercriminals Create 57,000 Fake Sites Each Week · · Score: 1

    I think you are assuming they care. Typically, you owe what you owe, regardless of being robbed. If this means they garnish your wages, they do.

  7. Re:Does not work that way. on Google Instant Announced · · Score: 1

    I type fast enough to get ahead of it AND read fast enough to know what it was suggesting. Some of the suggestions just leave me annoyed. >.

  8. Of course, this doesn't stop on European Parliament All But Rejects ACTA · · Score: 1

    unilateral declarations that work out to "agree with our stance on copyrig^H^H^Hcounterfeiting or else."

  9. Its times like this on Asteroids Flyby — 2010 RF12 & 2010 RX30 · · Score: 1

    that I wish there was some way to direct these things. There's some buildings I know of that need some renovation, if you know what I mean.

  10. Re:So in order to Not Track Me properly on Anti-Google Video Runs In Times Square · · Score: 1

    So, how does the last one work? Is it like going to an auto-repair place and having a part replaced or what?

  11. Re:BUSTED! on Anti-Google Video Runs In Times Square · · Score: 1

    As with most similar situations, the proponents of the accuser do not care what the accuser does, only the accused.

    Especially if it's the same thing.

  12. So in order to Not Track Me properly on Anti-Google Video Runs In Times Square · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They'll have to be sure to remember who I am wherever I go, right? That way they can be sure they aren't, for example, mistaking me for J. Random Trackable guy?

  13. I have one question. on The Push For Colbert's "Restoring Truthiness" Rally · · Score: 1

    Where can I register? I want to go!

  14. Re:Why is this new? on New Malware Imitates Browser Warning Pages · · Score: 1

    All of the ones I have seen so far have no idea what I am running, so that sound like a new trick.

  15. Re:Can someone explain how the memristor work? on HP Backs Memristor Mass Production · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Just make sure to unplug the machine when not in use then, as it will probably be more sensitive to power fluctuations, since they tend to be DC in nature.

  16. Re:Goo Gone or limonene on AMD Hates Laptop Stickers As Much As You Do · · Score: 1

    No, that stuff IS gasoline. And orange juice concentrate. And Styrofoam.

  17. Re:Thanks a lot, Jackass on Armed Man Takes Hostages At Discovery Channel HQ · · Score: 1

    Which TV channel do they own? I might want to watch some.

    There are only four question marks!

    Oh wait, I hope this doesn't turn out like that episode of Star Trek...

  19. I have to admit on Yale Researchers Prove That ACID Is Scalable · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I have a different image of ACID on Windows than they do.

    Now if there was only a way to make Microsoft adopt ideas, we would have a winner.

  21. Re:Summary not so clear on Prosecutor Loses Case For Citing Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, for certain people and topics, the chain breaks when it reaches Wikipedia regardless of topic or desire to learn.

    Even, for example, if it were about Wikipedia itself.

  22. Re:HA fail on State of Virginia Technology Centers Down · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Step 1) Design system so a single SAN controller is the only thing keeping the network running.
    Step 2) Use money saved by not adding redundancy/designing the system correctly to give self money.
    Step 3) Expect one component to last long enough for you to leave the job before it fails.
    Step 4) ????
    Step 5) Profit anyway because they don't get the concept of failures==bad things and keep paying you.

    And that's when they pull out the "secret paperwork" that they say is a record of them doing it and refuse to let you or your lawyer see it. And arrest you.

    Wait, why does it take a year for peace to happen? If there are no humans to have a war, there is no war. Unless they finish the terminator drones by then

    Unless they pay enough lawmakers, in which case they can own it all they like.
