    So have a way to claim it like you would a farm vehicle. If your filling it up at a gas station there's a good chance your driving it on public roads.

    Of course their will have to be exceptions but I'm sure most people drive their cars mostly of state maintained roads.

    I agree and will add that i think if you do it for free your given a certain amount of leeway(sp?) if you screw something up. I'm sure it doesn't work if they sue you but you know... You get what you pay for.

  8. Re:This is why we need a manned mission! on ESA to Deploy Mars Express Radar · · Score: 1

    This wasn't the point. Sure you could send it early but the origianl post said that sending humans for a few months would be about equal to sending a few probes. Even if you send the supplies early you still going to have to send it, which is where it cost money. Even if you use a really cost effective trajectory your still going to pay to get it off Earth.

    It's more expencive to have humans on or orbiting mars than to have a probe on or orbiting mars just because humans need more resources than a probe.

    And what? I don't see the point here. The elderly can still drive.

    I bet you haven't lived in florida have you. You don't see the stories on teh news when some older person mistakes drive for reverse and the gas for the brake. Or when the run a stop sign right in front of you and swear up and down that they had the right of way. Remeber the old guy who plowed through a market killing quite a few people.

  18. 'What if' on No Pictures, Thanks · · Score: 1

    The 'what-if' in this submission is one of the most tinfoil 'what-if's I ever read on /.

    You get people coming out of the woodwork to protest camera's in public spaces, now some comapny says they can blur out a face in a picture and you get people going off half cocked all over again.

    What is it like to be so paranoid?

    This is just one company, if you don't like this technology don't use their cameras. Besides the fact that it's more of a could do this than a can do this.

    This is the problem with using analogies on /. no it's nothing like that at all.

    It might have been close had you not said (and the money in it). He didn't store money in his account he paid money to open his account just like he paid money to get a copy of windows. The money part for the computer would be equilivent (I dont feel like spell checking) data stored on his machine through windows which he still should have access to.

  20. Re:For those who have RTFA issues... on MS To Limit Security Fixes to Legal Copies of Windows · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Was there something special about win2k that prevented you from writing down your product key on a piece of paper and storing it with other pieces of important papers?

    I could see using a friends disk if you lost yours but you should have been able to use your own key. There are something things that you should know are important. You save tax information, you save receipts in case something you bought is defective, you save warranty papers, why not save your product keys?

    If you can't afford it don't use it. No body is forcing anyone under threats of violence to use Windows. For a while I couldn't afford Windows so I used Linux. I didn't want to do something that could leave me open to fines or arrest and mainly I wanted to do what was 'right' as defined by law. Now that I can afford it I will buy a legit copy with a legit key (that I will write down and store) and I will be okay. There will always be Have's and Have Not's in this world. Just because your a Have Not doesn't automatically make it okay for you to use a pirated copy of software.

    This wont be MS fault if your using something you shouldn't be using and can't get your updates. Those still using 98 legitimately is a different topic.

    I'll call total bullshit on this one. I can't belive that you would try to compaire the civil rights movement to copyright infrigment. Do you think these two clowns were really out to change things? I don't, I think they were doing it to get something for free. The fact that you would try to place these two people on the same level as Henry David Thoreau (Yeah you had his spelling wrong too) or the founding fathers or Martin Luther King Jr. or Alice Paul and Lucy Burns is a slap in the face of all of the later.

    These two people are criminals as defined by the laws.
