  1. Re:Treason not possible on Don't Believe The Quickies · · Score: 3

    If you are talking about the United States:

    Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
    according to the constitution. I don't know where you get this "You can only commit treason if you are a government employee" unless there is some admendment I don't know about...
  2. Net@ddress does this as well on Is Mailcity Collecting User Data thru HTTP/HTTPS? · · Score: 3

    When viewing message from the web site (not downloaded via POP) all URL's are prefixed with:

    http://www.netaddress.com/tpl/Info/Popup?hidden_ __url=http://

    when you click on one of these links, it opens a new window titled "Info Popup" that contains two frames. The top frame contains the text:

    You are visiting a site outside of Net@ddress. Please close this browser to return to Net@ddress.

    Since this does not happen when you use POP access, I don't think it is a data-gathering practice. Maybe they think people are not smart enough to tell when they have left the Net@ddress site.

  3. Theory on DVD CCA Applies for Restraining Order · · Score: 1

    This entire situation only makes sense if the DVD people want DeCSS distributed. Now they can use this as an excuse when they tell the public that their old DVD players are now useless and they have to buy new ones with whatever new copy protection scheme they come up with. They can try to blame everything on the evil "pirates" and avoid the adverse public reaction.

  4. Re:Sound cards on The PC and ahe Video Entertainment Center? · · Score: 1

    The Diamond Monster Sound MX-300 supports SPDIF output if you buy the $40 addon card. I do not know if this is true Dolby Digital, though.
