  1. IBM's E servers are really just a rename.... on Slashback: Padulation, Lightenment, Amends · · Score: 2

    All they did was rename them, they still have the same actual machine type. The Z series e-server is an S/390. The p680(7017) is an S80(7017) well really an S85, but you can have an S80 with the same configuration as the p680. and so on...

    They didn't distribute Sony's BIOS, they distrubuted their own bios. It just so happens that both Sony's bios and Connetix's are capabable of running Playstation video games. Reverse-engineering has been upheld as fair use for at least as long as we have had PC's

  11. Star wars haters. on Star Wars Episode II Wraps · · Score: 1

    Wow, you'd think I was the only one who liked the movie, and liked Jar-jar as well. I think it boils down to people who over analyze things are never going to enjoy stories for the stories themselves. What, there are maybe 10 or so basic storylines? If you can't enjoy the details, too bad. Maybe we need to send you to remedial suspension of disbelief class.

    If you "allow" the cop to search your car, you have no defense against any evidence they find. ie: Cop "Can I search your car?" You "Sure" Cop "Lookie at all this contraband!!!!" You are busted If it goes like this Cop "Can I search your car?" You "No, you may not" Cop searches anyway Cop "Lookie at all the contraband" You can probably have the evidence thrown out unless the cop can come up with really good probably cause (You had the baggie visible on the dash)
