  1. Re:How is it illegal on Misleading Ads: ACCC Wins Appeal Against Google · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I think in this case they got the wrong target. I'd much rather them go after the entity that placed the ad.

    That's been the traditional approach taken with radio, television and print advertisements.

    No, they got exactly the correct target. Back when this case against Google started they fully allowed the practice. It is very telling that after several countries started investigations and prosecuted, Google disallowed the practice in those countries. Not globally, just where they got shit for it.

  2. Re:No thanks. on Battery-Powered Plasma Flashlight Makes Short Work of Bacteria · · Score: -1

    I like the bacteria that live on my body.. we have a relationship, once in a while a renegade causes some mayhem but otherwise its a very healthy existance that we've agreed to. Keep your death lights away, I dont need them.

    Considering your profession, I'd think you would want to buy stock.

    Got a source for that?

    It's not the first time mcgay is wrong.

  4. Re:Oldster? on Online Services: The Internet Before the Internet · · Score: 0

    They're like hipsters but they've had hip replacements so they prefer a non-hip term.

    Citation needed, do you have a source for that?

  5. Re:Rotating AOL trials on Online Services: The Internet Before the Internet · · Score: 0

    AOL would only keep credit card info for 3 months so you could get the service free by rotating credit cards and canceling after the monthly trial period.

    GOT A SOURCE FOR THAT? DOES IT WORK WITH A&T NOW?

  6. How I first got introduced to the Internet on Online Services: The Internet Before the Internet · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Back in time my dad didn't give me internet access, so I had to resort to offline things. However, that was all fine because I used to learn a lot from it. I used to do programming for a long time before Internet, and I am actually glad I did. It feels like the current generation is too obscured with useless things and even new programmers copy paste their code from searches performed on Google. It hardly teaches you anything. I used to read programming books and manuals that came with the tools. I actually had to walk to my friends place to download the latest XNA and Visual Studio. Now kids get it too easily. However, I do find my new internet access fascinating. My dad and I had a discussion and he gave me access. It gives a little nostalgic tear on my eye when I first time logged in to the Internet and made Facebook account so that I could chat with my friends. Good times there, folks.
