    he judge-shopped his way to a Gay Judge, pretty easy to win when the Judge has a conflict of interest. no way in the world that just happened randomly.

    Yes, Windows 7 still bluescreens, and sometimes there are bugs that you can do nothing with other than reimage. It is still has that Win 95 codebase in there.

  3. Re:If you have something that you don't want on Data Engineer In Google Case Is Identified · · Score: 1

    I don't know about that, they knowingly assigned a well-known writer of war-driving software to the street view team. It is kind of obvious what is going to happen next. That was the reason Google hired him in the first place.

  4. Re:Ridiculous .... on The Pirate Bay Plans Servers In the Sky · · Score: 1

    Let's take this the other way then, how about a Pirate Satellite? Launch a microsat into orbit and let everyone relay thru it.

    Really, I have a new 50" Plasma in the Bedroom. Plus, who wants to watch porn in HD, it looks awful. Apple is going to have huge problems selling TV's, I got the Plasma on sale for $500, It's going to be tough for Zombie Steve to beat that..

    So, what would be your take on the show "Rocket City Rednecks" and it's pair of Rednecks with actual PhD's in Physics?

    Ok, so if I am making under 27.63 and still considered exempt by my employee then what?

  8. Re:Loss of focus on the organization's true purpos on Why Everyone Hates the IT Department · · Score: 1

    more like someone in Accounting didn't like paying the bill from Xerox for color copies. I see ours and it is expensive, but it is better than being the printer repair guy.

  9. Re:Reflections on Why Everyone Hates the IT Department · · Score: 1

    We did the complete upgrade to Windows 7 over the last two years and it has been great. Windows 7 on the same modern hardware beat XP into the ground on speed alone. You can really see the difference when you install it on a I5 or I7 processor, support tickets are way down also.

  10. Re:And.... on Star Wars Books Released As Ebooks · · Score: 2

    they have been out on torrent sites for years. There is a ton of stuff out there that has already been scanned in. There is a 24 GB torrent of just e-books.

  11. Re:Brick? Yes, between your ears on TiVo To Brick All Remaining UK PVRs On June 1 · · Score: 1

    It seems to be very hard to do that. Tivo has been very good at keeping the hackers off when it comes to guide data. Tivo and their communities seem to think it is theft of service to use non-tivo guide data.

  12. Re:And? on Anonymous Claims Possession of Stuxnet Worm · · Score: 1

    Building a botnet of Siemen's PLCs would be bad or hiding exploit code on them to attack windows systems. lots of people run PLCs on their main network.

  13. Re:Not why... on Graduate Students Being Warned Away From Leaked Cables · · Score: 1

    and how is that working out for them when they let the poster child for Don't Ask, Don't Tell have a TS clearance and access to the entire State Dept cables database? The background process is hopelessly stuck in the 60's before the age of credit reports. The only reason I got my clearance back in the day was I was 19 years old and had not done a thing in life. Now, good luck with that security app, I can't remember all of my addresses and telephone numbers for the last 25 years. The sad thing is they need the Gen-Xer's like me to come back in because the Boomers are mostly useless or retiring.

  14. Re:Tuff. on 3D Printing May Face Legal Challenges · · Score: 1

    there are several people out there selling 80% receivers for AR-15, AK-47 and various pistols made out of a single block of steel or aluminum on a CNC mill. All you have to do is the final assembly and drill some holes. The CAD files are floating out there too.

    It's Richmond, there are no cool start-ups like that anywhere in the city. Ok, maybe on the West End, but the data center is in Chester, south of Downtown.

  16. Re:Feh on Claimed US Military Wikileaks Source Arrested · · Score: 1

    The United States didn't sign the addtional protocals mainly because the Russians wrote this section during the Cold War, so they do not apply to this. So sorry for you. Oh, that is a nice link to a Bush-Cheney War Crime website. No bias there.

    One small problem, he is doing to do 20 years or more at Leavenworth for it, passing classified information still rates the death penalty. I doubt they are going to shoot him for this, but they are going to make a huge example out of him.

  18. Re:Perspective from a Juror on this Case on Terry Childs Found Guilty · · Score: 1

    I hate to bust your bubble, but have you ever heard of reasonable doubt or intent? I am sure Child's lawyer is going to have a field day in Appeals Court over your comments and the removal of the other juror. What law did you find that said Child had to give any information to the city or else he would be committing a felony? What was the exact act did he do to committ this so-called crime. You, the rest of the Jury, the Judge and the DA made this interpretation up out of the blue just to punish this guy.

    I used to work contract until I got the full-time gig, I wonder what Obama-care is going to do to the sector. It could totally screw it over or fix a lot of problems with it. Healthcare was my biggest worry, vacation and the rest didn't really matter that much.

  22. Re:Sounds Dodgy at Best on Amazon Patents Changing Authors' Words · · Score: 1

    But the test for obviousness is a lot harder because you are doing the same thing with a computer. I wouldn't give them a broad patent on this and with the Patent Troll problems we are having, I wouldn't give them one on this at all.

    Here is another piece of Prior Art, they need to pay Tom Clancy for his idea. He put something pretty close to this in Patriot Games in 1987. It has been around forever and is called the Canary trap. That was 22 years ago when Clancy wrote about it.

    Are you serious? No Child Left Behind and SOL testing are the 2 biggest causes of Rote learning right now, almost every school in the US is teaching to the test now. Test scores on standardized test now determine funding in most state. As to the topic, more organized babysitting is not going to help.
