  1. Re:Stop spreading disinformation on Why Online Privacy Is Broken · · Score: 1

    It's sad then that you have it wrong. Generally a credit card caps your loss at $50, but a debit card is a different beast. If you don't give timely notice about the theft of your debit card, you can be liable for up to $500.

    Read about it here.

  2. Re:The house needs more rebels on House Votes To Expand National DNA Arrest Database · · Score: 1

    Since most are lawyers, you already have to submit finger prints to get your law license in most if not all U.S. states. Probably within ten years you will have to give a DNA cheek swab as well.

  3. Re:XP + 3 TB?? on Seagate Confirms 3TB Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    When someone throws out an old PC, it often still has XP, so I snap a picture of the license sticker and use that with an OEM disc next time I need a copy of XP on something. Legally gray but I consider it fair use.

    Legally gray is it? An OEM license only allows you to use the software on the specific computer it came with. You might as well use a license key from the piratebay.

  4. Re:So what about a Starbucks that offers free wifi on German User Fined For Having an Open Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    +1 - In the US, many court houses have free public wi-fi for people waiting on jury duty. It would be funny if the court that sentenced him had the same thing.

  5. Re:Why not just *keep* the money? on FBI To Prosecute "Money Mules" · · Score: 1

    Killing the golden goose. If they send me $600 and tell me to forward on $500, I could make $600 now, but I could make much more than that if I keep forwarding the money and collecting my $100.

  6. Re:What? on FBI To Prosecute "Money Mules" · · Score: 1

    That was really dumb. If he has been under a search warrant on his email account or a wiretap equivalent, you might have been in some deep shit with prosecutors. I'm not saying that you would have been convicted, but that would have been a big headache trying to get out of that jam when they had emails from you accepting to work with him.

    I call bullshit. Send the link or it didn't happen.

  8. Re:BP is not trying to seal the well on Oil Leak Could Be Stopped With a Nuke · · Score: 2, Interesting

    their public promise to make good is hard to renege on

    I guess you don't know a lot of lawyers then.

  9. This will get no play because it is nuclear.. on Oil Leak Could Be Stopped With a Nuke · · Score: 4, Interesting

    But could a large conventional blast do the same thing?

  10. Re:And CableCARD? on MythTV 0.23 Released · · Score: 1

    OTA only huh? I guess you don't like watching many sports. That is the only reason the most guys that I know have cable.

  11. View Picture? on TSA Worker Jailed In Body Scan Rage Incident · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm not sure I wanted to click on that link..

  12. Re:That's for WEP ... on Hot Sales In China For Wi-Fi Key-Cracking Kits · · Score: 1

    A long time. However, if you have a common SSID link linksys, it would be susceptible to a rainbow table attack that wouldn't take that long.

  13. Re:Then make games that are fun for more than 4 ho on Do Gamers Want Simpler Games? · · Score: 1

    That's how I felt about NES Track&Field 100m dash. It was fun pounding the A button for the first 20-30m, but I never seemed to get past 60m. But one day I found a cheat code and I was about to finish it

  14. Re:Microsoft Office 2010, Dissected on Microsoft Office 2010, Dissected · · Score: 1

    I still have to use Office 2002 at work. You can't find tutorials about how to do things on Microsoft's web site anymore.

  15. Is it just me... on State Senator Caught Looking At Porn On Senate Floor · · Score: 1

    or were others a little worried at work about clicking the link at the bottom of the post that said "Watch Video"?

  16. Re:Never again.... on Call of Duty: Black Ops Announced · · Score: 1

    Do what you want, but MW2 had one of the best FPS single player campaigns (albeit short) in a long time.

  17. Re:GPS doesn't need 3G on iPad Review · · Score: 1

    Actually with the iPhones, the 3G and GPS are on the same chip. That's why in this case "My iPad has no 3G, therefore it has no GPS."

  18. Re:What the Matrix sequels should have been on Will Smith In For Independence Day 2 & 3 · · Score: 1

    I don't think anyone wants another Law and Order: The Matrix

  19. Re:a real pc is the only solution on What's the Best Way To Get Web Content To My TV? · · Score: 1

    I have a Popcorn hour and I love it. I'm interested to hear what formats you couldn't get to work with it. I agree that the generic menu system is pretty bad, but there are projects like YAMJ that work pretty well as a substitute.

  20. Re:Why sue Gamestop? on GameStop Sued Over Lack of DLC For Used Games · · Score: 1

    What if the case said manual included, but there was no manual? By reselling the game, don't you think they have a duty to accurately describe what is being sold?

  21. Front Camera nice on Sprint Unveils HTC Evo 4G Super Phone · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It is nice to see phones that are adding front cameras. Asian phones have had this for years allowing for video chatting with the handset.

  22. Just put it in your wallet and shut up. on US Immigration Bill May Bring a National Biometric ID Card · · Score: 1

    Is this really a big deal? I just seems like an updated SSN card to me.

  23. Re:there's a small town in the mountains on Scalpers Earned $25M Gaming Online Ticket Sellers · · Score: 1

    If the townsfolk would by the bags at $5 / bag, why wasn't guy #1 selling them for that much?

  24. Re:Fun to hate on MS but... on Microsoft Says It Never Meant To Knock Cryptome Offline · · Score: 1

    Considering just about every big internet company, heck company, has a law enforcement guide so law enforcement knows who to call in emergencies (like kidnappings) or format subpoena and search warrants for more routine matters, it seems silly to single out Microsoft for this. No company wants to have their law enforcement procedure out in the open.

  25. Re:Really? on Hollywood Treats Hackers Pretty Well · · Score: 1

    I would argue Independence Day still has the most absurd hack of all time.

    From the article: "A Mac hacking into an alien operating system and loading a virus. That's Steve Jobs' dream: The power of the Mac"
