  1. Re:USA against the World? on US Defunds UNESCO After Palestine Vote · · Score: 1

    It only covers international airports, of course. But the land where you haven't cleared customs, or don't intent to if you're just passing, is in fact international land. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_zone

    And US for that matter.

  3. Re:USA against the World? on US Defunds UNESCO After Palestine Vote · · Score: 0

    It's still not land that US owns. Just like airports are on international land.

    Not so tough now, are you Anonymous?

    Their "we can do anything, beware us!!" pissing contest quickly turned around when they realized shit just got real.

    as a private citizen, I am fine with companies charging each other

    How naive of you. In the end, you will be one who's paying for it.

  6. Re:There is no "issue." *I* own my files and data on Rethinking the Nature of Files · · Score: 1

    Would you be opposed to a DRM scheme that would allow you to totally and irrevocably delete a picture you posted to Facebook because it allows you to retain total ownership ?

    But information wants to be freeeeee!!

  7. Re:There is no "issue." *I* own my files and data on Rethinking the Nature of Files · · Score: 1

    RIAA/MPAA doesn't own them. They represent some (not all) of those who do on certain matters, like piracy.

    And there's just no change this project will be abandoned anytime soon, just like any other Google projects never have been! Oh wait...

  10. Re:Just works! on New Mac OS Trojan Produces BitCoins · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Except on iPhone, which are remotely rootable via exploits where you only need to visit a website to gain root on the device. But for some reason the fanboys have turned this into a good thing (yay, jailbreak!)

  11. Re:Ofc it is! they will do better on Is RIM's Centralized Network Model Broken? · · Score: 1

    I haven't checked the others, but with the IPs so close to each other I'm pretty sure they are in the same data center.

    ...

    Google owns their ip blocks. They even got ASN. They can put them anywhere they like, even if the ip's are next to each other. The geo location databases are just made from info given to ARIN / RIPE etc.

    Perfect example of someone thinking he knows better. Not that the GP was any of that wiser, but neither was that answer.

    Yep, Bitcoinica offers shorting and leverages.

  13. Re:Follow the Trail on New Mac OS Trojan Produces BitCoins · · Score: 1

    As BitCoin transactions aren't anonymous, in fact they are completely public, it would be trivial to follow where the BitCoins end up - hopefully to catch the malware author.

    And the trail starts from.. where?

    Oh look, it's h4rr4r once again defending Google. Stop being such a Google-bitch and a crybaby.

    Google didn't design it. They just stole it from students and bribed them by offering them some money to be quiet.

  18. Re:The other question should who wants own the rig on Who 'Owns' the Google Driverless Car IP? · · Score: 1

    Because in this case it would be Google's fault if someone dies. If someone dies because of his own hand then he can only blame himself, but it's much worse if you kill someone. Of course, this only applies if it wasn't some other person that caused it, but the point still stands.

    Bah, Minecraft is boring. Ace of Spades is much more fun and combines same build and dig tunnels, but with shooting and objectives. Multiplayer FPS is much more when you can build defensive structures and dig your way to the enemy base.

  20. Microsoft Research on Microsoft Proposes Fix For E-Voting Attack · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They actually do a lot of great stuff there, which is not too surprising as they have many intelligent people working in Research. Just wish much more of their stuff would see daylight.

    Still, Microsoft is actually one of the only companies that spends billions in research and doesn't just buy start-up companies like Google does.

  21. Re:Why can't the US just give them a bad Concorde? on China Builds 1-Petaflop Homegrown Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Everyone bases their stuff on something. Even in the West. Note that it said it got start from that. Everything we do in our every day lives in based on something too, and so are all US products.

  22. Support them from your own money on How Can I Justify Using Red Hat When CentOS Exists? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The only thing it lacks is support, which the CIO doesn't want. Help?

    Then you get CentOS and stop trying to spend other people's money on things they don't want to. If you care about Red Hat getting their support, then donate to them yourself, from your own money. Red Hat sells support service, and that is their product. Otherwise, it's just a compilation of others software, just like CentOS is. It's obvious your company doesn't need the support service so CentOS suits you just fine. Pushing an agenda down others throath doesn't help open source's image either. It should come from their own willingness to help or by providing so fantastic service that people actually want it.

  23. Usual Slashdot response on Microsoft Drops Suit Against Firm In Botnet Case · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The usual Slashdot response is to put a bullet into botnet owners heads or nuke them from orbit, no questions asked. Well, in this case there would be an innocent man dead. It just shows it isn't always so easy to find them.

    It still doesn't change the reality that even old hardware works with Windows while it doesn't with Linux.

  25. Re:facebook on Can Open Hardware Transform the Data Center? · · Score: 1

    Apart from fan pages (which can be public too), most people use it as a private communication tool, just like discussions on MSN Messenger and other IM networks, and even phone. IRC applies too if the channels are private, but there are lots of private channels and private messages too. For example those discussions have never been public unless someone participating them published them - usually against everyone else's wishes. Facebook is just continutation to that.

    If people are more interested in discussion with people they don't know, then they set up blog, go to Reddit or even Slashdot or whatever their niche is. There are plenty of public forums too. Both fill a different need.
