  1. What is Anonymous acheiving? on Anonymous Hacks Tunisian Islamist Sites · · Score: 1

    When they hack a company/organization, that group is more resolved than ever to keep doing what they're doing, except now with improved net security. They are strengthening the resolve and defenses of who they claim to hate!

  2. Re:I fail to see why this would be a bad thing on Marketing Agency Uses Homeless As Wi-Fi Hotspots · · Score: 1

    This has nothing to do with class structure or religion, I would just prefer not to be asked for money. I also have never read any stories where the homeless have risen out of poverty due to spare change. That money is mostly used for drugs/alcohol.

  3. Re:I fail to see why this would be a bad thing on Marketing Agency Uses Homeless As Wi-Fi Hotspots · · Score: 1

    Because when you talk to them about the 4G hotspot they will no doubt ask you for spare change, especially if you can afford a 4G device.

  4. The U.S. should have a gambling site. on US Shuts Down Canadian Gambling Site With Verisign's Help · · Score: 1

    With all net profits used to help cut down taxes. If people want to gamble, at least make sure their money is going back into their country instead of out of the country.

  5. How to make money on Yahoo Unfriends Facebook With Aggressive Patent Demands · · Score: 2

    1. Patent anything and everything. 2. Knowingly let companies use your patented works. 3. Wait till they get rich. 4. Sue their brains out.

  6. This will save money for how long? on The Best Streaming Media Player · · Score: 5, Insightful

    In most areas, the cable and internet come from the same provider who has a monopoly. If enough people cut cable, they will just raise internet prices to keep the same profits. Hell, they're going to raise internet prices for everyone regardless because we all use too much bandwidth in their opinion.

  7. She didn't steal any money from the Nigerians on Nigerian Scam Artists Taken For $33,000 · · Score: 2

    She took money they would have stolen and kept it for herself. She's no better than they are.

  8. Like it would even matter. on Indian Government To Track Locations of All Cell Phone Users · · Score: 1

    India is so overpopulated that even if they could track your general location, they wouldn't be able to spot you in the thousands of people if they wanted to arrest you.

  9. Re:You can solve any problem... on Female Passengers Say They Were Targeted For TSA Body Scanners · · Score: 1

    Who Watches The Watchmen? Clearly this is some PR at work, and the "advocates" won't do anything.

  10. Just fix the software. on Female Passengers Say They Were Targeted For TSA Body Scanners · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Pictures don't need to be so shapely to determine if they're carrying something deadly.

  11. Re:Is this even legal? on Amazon Blocks Video Streaming On BlackBerry Tablet, Blames Apple · · Score: 1

    Well there's a difference between being compatible and outright blocking.

  12. Is this even legal? on Amazon Blocks Video Streaming On BlackBerry Tablet, Blames Apple · · Score: 0

    I don't think you're allowed to pick and choose which companies can use your content per fair market rules.

  13. Why would they change the design? on What the iPad 3 Looks Like · · Score: 1

    It works. People like it. Redesigns are expensive.

  14. $50,000 is laughable. on Cops Set Up Extortion Sting On Symantec's Source Code Thieves · · Score: 1

    If the money was a ruse, why not $5,000,000? No one will risk getting caught for a year's salary.

  15. I'll miss you Treebeard on 3,500 Year Old Florida Tree Dies of Natural Causes · · Score: 4, Funny

    You decided I wasn't an orc. I'll never forget you.

  16. This article is misleading on Angry Birds Boss Credits Piracy For Popularity Boost · · Score: 1

    He should be crediting his piracy of Castle Crashers.

  17. Was this guy trying to get caught? on SEC Takes Action Against Latvian Hacker · · Score: 2

    Any basic pattern matching would show that this guy always bought tons of shares and sold tons of shares right around the hacked account buying tons of shares. How could you be intelligent enough to pull this off but so dumb as to create an easily traceable pattern?

  18. Re:How to fix file sharing piracy. on MediaFire CEO: We Don't Depend On Piracy · · Score: 1

    Forum gets takedown notice. It's much easier to reupload a file than it is to buy an extra domain name and move all your files to that server and convince users to come over as well. Most forum moderators actively delete content for this reason.

    I never said this took care of 100% of the problem. However, it would make files harder to find for Joe Average if he had to search through shady forums and click links that don't describe the file he's about to download. It would also help absolve any liability for the file hosts as the file isn't clearly marked as illegal.

  19. Re:How to fix file sharing piracy. on MediaFire CEO: We Don't Depend On Piracy · · Score: 1

    Yes, that would be the 10% of the problem that can't easily be fixed. With my solution though, the file sharing companies can easily claim ignorance and search engines aren't linking to the files.

  20. How to fix file sharing piracy. on MediaFire CEO: We Don't Depend On Piracy · · Score: 1

    1. User uploads file all_nintendo_roms.zip
    2. User is allowed to make NO COMMENTS about file.
    3. File sharing site changes file name to XjyrtGSdfrtd_fgre.zip
    4. File sharing site tell user the file is now been changed to XjyrtGSdfrtd_fgre.zip and gives link to file.
    5. When people use file sharing search engines and search for nintendo roms, THEY DON"T FIND all_nintendo_roms.zip nor do they get assistance by comments about the file.

    Of course, file sharing sites would be hurt if files weren't named after what people are trying to get for free. This is an obvious change though that would solve 90% of the problem.
