  1. Register's referrence on How to Legally Infuriate the RIAA? · · Score: 5, Informative

    The Register also has an article on webcasting and the RIAA. The two articles together show how webcasting may be the RIAA's Achilles heel.

  2. Re:Before the *BSD is Dying trolls start... on Top Five Reliable Providers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In the bottom 10 (of 50), 1=HP-UX, 2=Linux, 3=Windows, 4=Solaris.
    I think it is more the admins, rather than the OS's.

    but MS... well, let's just say that the odds of the XBox making them money is quite low.

    You are right.
    Microsoft doesn't have to make more money. In fact, they are trying to figure out what to do with the money they've got.

  4. Re:Canada's National Gun Registry Anyone???? on Glitches in Massive Government Databases? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Heh, I was going to say "What's that? a buck twenty?".

    Actually, it's more like 733,360,738.55 USD.

    You Yanks pay that for Pentagon toilet seats, right?

    This was the second financial fiasco for the person responsible: Maryantonett Flumian

    Sad part of that is she got a promotion to Associate Deputy Minister of Human Resources Development Canada out of it. One of, if not, the biggest budgeted departments.

    She is now spending like there is no tomorrow. The benficiary is IBM.

  6. As he said... on Grad Student's Work Reveals National Infrastructure · · Score: 5, Funny
    "...It's hard to put 'classified' on your list of publications on your résumé."


    Actually, it would be easy for me to put "classified" on my list of publications on my résumé. It is just the "mostly as bullshit" part that wouldn't do me any good.

  11. Some kill for gaming... some die for it on Thailand Imposes Gamers Curfew · · Score: 3, Informative

    Quick comparison. "Kill" & "Die"

    Kill

    "One of the boys was seen on Chinese television telling police interrogators that he had started the fire in an act of revenge because staff at the cybercafe had refused to let him play computer games there."

    Die

    "A South Korean man died yesterday after playing computer games at an Internet cafe for 86 hours nonstop, reports the Associated Press."

    I have no point, just an observation.

    It is a good start until it is shown to be "hand-waving".
    When you set your filters, firewall settings, RTBLs, do you expect 100% immediately, or do you have to wait, review, adjust and accomodate for variances?

    I am so sick of the "instant gratification" mentality of the last thirty years!

    People! YOU have to DO Something to get what you want! Bitching and Whining about how others have done something that doesn't meet YOUR standards is just showing what a lazy pussy you are!

    Nope.
    They play the law like a cheap violin. Using it however it best serves their purpose.

    If they want an idea, they steal it.
    If you have worked for them, you can't have ideas of your own. See this as an example.
