  1. Re:Idiots don't get it. on Online Narcotics Store 'Silk Road' Is Showing Cracks · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Craiglist is used for mostly legal things, the silk road exists only to serve an "illegal" purpose, which is selling drugs. I'm not all that familiar with how they stay anonymous, but if there's a way to unravel that system, it would come through cases like this most likely. I think this guy got busted for selling drugs outside the silk road, as per the article, and was overall a stupid drug dealer. A quote about human stupidity and why we can't have nice things (for a user the Silk Road is heaven.. till they OD) is in order I suppose.

    Russia or China? Have you been under a rock? It doesn't seem likely, but isn't war all about surprise? So rather than live in fear of that, the government builds missile defense systems.

    I'm also scratching my head... how is "The Social Network" related to coding? Those were fuckin actors??? Coders have coded in teams since the start of coding, whether in the workplace, or in a garage, it's to bounce ideas off each other, and get help with bugs and techniques, is it possible to drink after coding... or fuck it, it's a choice, not a meme.

  6. Re:"begging to"? on Hacker Faces 105 Years In Prison After Blackmailing 350+ Women · · Score: 1

    It gets better... the innocent person can lose and get 25 years, the criminal accepts the plea bargains, gets out in 3 1/2 for good behavior and picks right back up where they left off. Or the innocent person accepts the 5 year plea bargain (I'm thinking robbery here?), serves their time and picks up a new trade while they're at it.

  7. It's illegal to use them in the event of non-ownership. So if I'm using my neighbor's open wifi, i'm in the legal wrong, they're not. Also it's SSID. Wrong much?

    They'd make open wifi networks illegal for those very reasons with the way things are going now.

  10. Re:"begging to"? on Hacker Faces 105 Years In Prison After Blackmailing 350+ Women · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That's why plea bargains exist... to avoid trials and keep the court's resources in check. The problem there is that an innocent person might be scared of getting sentenced to life and accept the 5 year prison deal instead of going to trial and stating their case. Of course, if you're truly innocent you'll win the trial in the perfect world, but we're not perfect.

  13. Re:$3600 ship on How EVE Online Dealt With a 3,000-Player Battle · · Score: 1

    So... just to clarify, did this guy actually spend $3500 on his ship?

    And.. I dunno man, if you have a job & a family, should you really care if you're level 20, or level 50? WOW / other MMOs let those types of people buy characters, I'd imagine it's ships in EVE, but for every character bought they had to built up to that level, is that the same? I just have a difficult time seeing somebody spending 3.5k on a ship, short of being stinking rich and bat shit crazy.

    Such a simple solution, they already have plugin detection, so they probably just expanded that with an on / off switch. And... nobodies thought of it, I like it, mozilla needs some fresh new features... I still can't get sync to work easily for what I want it to (multiple computers, 1 bookmarks file, idc about mobile devices for those). I'm willing to bet the next versions of chrome and IE will include it though.
