  1. Re:If you're that worried... on Tips For Taking Your Laptop Into and Out of the US? · · Score: 1

    But there's no guarantees foreign governments won't search it either so its always safer to take anything confidential off your notebook before you leave the country.

  2. Mac vs PC on Toxic Fumes From Mac Pros? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hi, I'm a Mac, and I'm a P..... (thud)

  3. Comparing China to Western Nations on China's All-Seeing Eye · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's a shame when western nations are becoming more like china the media tries to distance the realities between the two instead of showing how our freedoms are becoming more like them.

  4. Same Type of idea for 3D Models on Flickr Search Hack Powered by Mouse-Made Doodles · · Score: 1

    For a 3D model search engine, princeton has provided a 3d model search engine based on sketches of the three axis aligned planes.

  5. I'm surprised the studios are pushing for this on HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Disappointing So Far · · Score: 1

    Recently hollywood has been releasing movies without any redeaming content besides eyecandy. I don't understand why they would want to introduce a format to the home consumer which can outdo the CGI showing how bad it really is. I'm going to stay with my DVD, in some cases blurry is better.

  6. Did Sony post the story? on DVD Decrypter Author Served With Take-Down Order · · Score: 1

    One can wonder if Sony posted the story so all links to the page would get slashdotted.....

  7. Re:Is public travel a constitutional right? on Your Right to Travel Anonymously: Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    The fourth amendment states that unreasonable searches aren't allowed. As I stated in my previous post, public transportation is a privilege, not a right. No one is forcing Gilmore to use public transportation, so in doing so he has to accept the restrictions on his liberty for the opportunity to use the public's system. If every form of transportation had the restriction of making a citizen produce identification it would be different, that would be an unreasonable search.

  8. Is public travel a constitutional right? on Your Right to Travel Anonymously: Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    Last time I checked, the government wasn't telling him he couldn't travel from one place to another. Public transportation isn't a constitutional right. The only thing that would be is if all methods of transport were closed off to him. I know that he can't drive or take any other public transportation because he doesn't have a government issued ID, but he has the right to travel, just not used the privilege of public transportation. The No-Fly list and secretive laws are a totally different issue than what Gilmore is trying to protest. I don't think that he'll get very far in the court system, this is something that legislature needs to address to stop the sliding slope of our invasion of privacy.

    What do you get when you cross an elephant and a mountain climber?
