  2. Re:Finally! on Judge: US Search Warrants Apply To Overseas Computers · · Score: 2

  3. I don't get it on New Display Technology Corrects For Vision Defects · · Score: 2

    Time to ditch the router and use a linux/BSD box? Or are we pretty much screwed because the hardware is affected similarly as well?

    Brick and mortar bookstore doesn't sell books with DRM so you can sell it or donate it at your pleasure?

    Fool them 41 times, shame on the scammer. Fool them 42 times, shame on them. But c'mon, the fact that no system exists to check this means lawsuits are coming to towns.
