  1. Re:Better have a case of No-Doze. on Coming Soon: Ubiquitous Long-Term Surveillance From Big Brother · · Score: 2

    Unfortunately, taken out of context, even the most mundane activity can be made to appear criminal. Also, even the most boring people run afoul of some taboo that can be used against them.

    And money...

    Except when it does.

  4. Re:Goodbye Visa & Mastercard!! on Mastercard, Visa To Help Target Ads · · Score: 1

    Here, they call it C.O.D. - Cash on Delivery. Not many places offer it anymore, although I hope to see its resurgence with MC and VISA doing what they're planning to do.

  5. Jury Nullification on Court Reinstates $675k File Sharing Verdict · · Score: 1

    Jury nullification is a de facto power of juries. Judges rarely inform juries of their nullification power. The power of jury nullification derives from an inherent quality of most modern common law systems—a general unwillingness to inquire into jurors' motivations during or after deliberations. A jury's ability to nullify the law is further supported by two common law precedents: the prohibition on punishing jury members for their verdict, and the prohibition (in some countries) on retrying defendants after an acquittal (see related topics res judicata and double jeopardy).

    We, the people, have the ability, and the duty, to make a change in courtrooms as well as with our legislators. Unfortunately, most of the people are unaware of their power as jurors.

  6. Re:Software engineer vs. computer programmer? on Study Says Software Engineers Have the Best US Jobs · · Score: 1

    Obviously you haven't read the link you posted. Licensing is only needed to carry out a few specific functions, but you do not have to have a license to call yourself an engineer. I have also dealt with 'electrical engineers' in my daily work who do not even have engineering degrees.

    You could always use a USB CD/DVD-ROM drive.

  8. Re:Google Wave not dead yet on The 57 Lamest Tech Moments of 2010 · · Score: 1

    True, Wave the project is still alive and well, but Wave the service hosted by Google is soon to be dead. I am interested in seeing how others deploy and use this technology. We tested it for a short time at work, but we could not refrain from drawing inappropriate sketches, collaboratively, for very long.

  9. Re:We are all suspects, welcome to the police stat on Feds Warrantlessly Tracking Americans' Real Time Credit Card Activity · · Score: 1

    There are more than Republicans and Democrats... Do you not vote for the other parties because they're 'not electable'?
