  1. Re:YEAH!! on Pirate Bay Trial Ends In Jail Sentences · · Score: 1

    The guys who sell guns (black market) are prosecuted for infringement in illegal guns distribution.

    But your comparison is not quite correct, since you are comparing a crime with copyright infringement.

    sort your own backyard first. Please, don't send them to south america again... We are finally doing ok, since the US Army is looking to the other way around. ;)

  3. Re:Well, what did you expect? on Posting Publicly Available URL Claimed a "Hack" · · Score: 1

    Leave your car unlocked in parts of St. Louis, someobody will take your car stereo. The argument has the same logical structure as yours, yet it doesn't lead to the conclusion that taking car stereos from unlocked cars is ok. Abstraction and analogy is fine, but when you abstract away differences that matter, it's just sophistry.

    Keeping the line of "Capitalism", if you left your car unlocked (and with no alarm) and you get stolen your car radio, you dont' get the money from the insurance company, because it was your flaw. In the case of The public available URL, is the same analogy of leaving the car opened...It might be illegal from the ones that are getting "free" content, but it's the company's fault for not secure it properly.

  4. 255 blocks? on Smart 'Lego' Set Conjures Up Virtual 3D Twin · · Score: 1

    Zigbee can hold up to 255 devices arranged in its "network id". How do they use more than 255 "lego" blocks? it isn't much smarter to use rfid directly? .

    Anyway, I really don't think zigbee in this particular case is such a smart idea considering the scalability sorrounded to it.... Except for demonstrative purposes.

    You got it wrong. You should have posted it into the "Emoticon turns 25" story. In that case, your post wouldn't have been offtopic. ;)

  6. Re:Interesting problem on IPhones Flooding Wireless LAN At Duke · · Score: 2, Interesting

    But I guess it's not only the iPhone. Last night I set up mac address restriction in my home wlan, and I put uncorrectly the Ibook's Mac address.

    So after I rebooted the base, My Ibook started to try on and on repeatedly (heavily repeatedly) to connect to my wireless base.
    Just now, when I read this thread I realized that the iBook got my wireless network bombarded by requests.
    Nothing really happened into my base, since I only had 2 computers at that time, but I can see what happens when an avalanche of those requests gets into a base.

  7. Re:Eh, CG... on CG Television Clone Wars Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    "Personally, I'd rather see South Park, Terrance & Phillip, Clerks, etc style animation instead of CG. Something similar to Batman Beyond would be pretty cool for this."

    Just 4 the record, but south park studios does most of their animation trough computer drawing/animation/graphics.

    I'm gonna burn some karma here to complain..

    Come on.. this is puRe advertisement about Mac, could you stop it!
    No news here, just advertisement, and I don't want advertisement covered as a story (yeah, yeah, somebody is going to say, then don't read /.), but this special discounts are really pi**n' me off...

    If these are news, I would like to read the news about the special discount from Dell for grannies. I'm sure it rocks!

    Please, don't get me wrong, I own several PowerBooks/iBooks (in fact I'm writing this posts in one!), so I don't have anything against macs, I'm against lame stories on the FrontPage of ./

  13. Re:Technology DID do it today... on Australia's Technological World Cup Advantage · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The deal for the FIFA Ranking is this:

    The number of international matches won. (Country teams and local teams against other local teams).

    The deal is if, for instance, USA plays against "Pop corn bags", ie, poor teams, all the time, and keeps winning, its ranking is better.

    On the other hand, Uruguay, who keeps playing against, for instance, argentinian and Brazilian teams, can't win all the Time (Uruguay v/s argentina + River plate (Arg) v/s Penarol (URU)) so the score of Uruguay v/s the score of USA it's worst, but probably Uruguay would beat USA with no problem...

    Nowadays, Uruguay is out of the world cup and USA is in...

    I don't really know if i'm explaining correctly, but anyway, I hope it helps.

  16. Re:How things change. on Apple MacBook Pro 'Fastest Windows XP Notebook'? · · Score: 2, Informative

    That's not completely accurate. The fisrt company into make USB massive was apple. Regarding PCI, several years ago they introduced it into their PPC market. Gee, even Sun did (altough, PCI was slower than other buses but just plain cheaper).

    The other Technologies before mentined, AGP, PMT, SMP Protected memory never said so. About intel, well different story, but with your comment you are just trolling (me thinks).

  20. The mix of money with inventions. on 85 Big Ideas that Changed the World · · Score: 0

    It is me or they are trying to make a point with great inventions and money?
    They try to make the bell labs one of the best ideas in the century, but it is just a fusion. (imho)
    They show as a great invention the polaroid, but now is dead (does anybody has a polaroid working and taking pictures today?) did it changed the world or it made a lot of money only?

    The other point that I think they tried to show that most of the 85 best ideas of the last century (or so) are from U.S.A. (IMHO again)

    I think there were several business ideas coming from outside that they didnt show at all, (I dont have many now, but the roller ball pen could be one, or in business, could have been set up the Volskwagen model)

    May be Im a troll, or Im in a trollish mood, but I though that it was a piece of chauvinist crap, like "what forbes have made propaganda for this years and it is the best in the world"
