  1. Re:Its not theft!! on MPAA Goes After More Bittorrent Site Operators · · Score: 1

    I see your point there, but linking to a CAM version of I, Robot and linking to www.whatever.com are two totally different things.

  2. Re:Its not theft!! on MPAA Goes After More Bittorrent Site Operators · · Score: 1

    Wonderful, but they have easily accessible links that break copyright, if they don't know what they are linking to, then they are shite at being a webmaster. If they do know they are linking to copyrighted material, then that is wrong. I don't understand why everyone is defending piracy.

  3. Re:Its not theft!! on MPAA Goes After More Bittorrent Site Operators · · Score: 1

    And to answer the question, yes. no one should be held liable for what they LINK to True, to a point. I suppose a repository of law-breaking material doesn't break the law. Nice loophole.

  4. Re:Its not theft!! on MPAA Goes After More Bittorrent Site Operators · · Score: 1

    So you would absolve all website operators from any responsibility for what they host?

  5. Re:!= Large repositories of pirate material on MPAA Goes After More Bittorrent Site Operators · · Score: 1

    How could you maintain a site and not know what it does? That is a completely moronic cop-out. It's stealing, like it or not. I can't argue with the money aspect, corporate America has completed their takeover.

  6. Meh on MPAA Goes After More Bittorrent Site Operators · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Large repositories of pirate material = begging for action from the *AAs. I am surprised it took this long as well, most of these sites were openly flaunting what they were doing.

  7. Re:The reasoning is still bad on NBA Rejects EA Deal · · Score: 1

    Me. I have never liked the Madden series. Overrated. The NFL2K series was a serious challenger, and had to be eliminated. Resistance is futile, you will be assimi.....merged with and entered into exclusive deals with. The corporate takeover of America is complete.

  8. Lock it down. on Dealing with Network Politics and Insecure Users? · · Score: 1

    It's your network, they are the user. Do you have and documentation relating to network access policies? Normal users need very little access to things. The rest is just to make themselves feel important. Once you have everything wide open, it is very difficult to reign it in. Good luck.

  9. Re:Apple Calculator Bug on Apple Offers Mac OS X 10.3.7 Update · · Score: 1

    I get 0.

  10. Re:Calculator on Apple Offers Mac OS X 10.3.7 Update · · Score: 1

    Let me give that a whirl.

  11. Re:Calculator on Apple Offers Mac OS X 10.3.7 Update · · Score: 1

    Whoops, nope this is not enabled, I may test it out later though.

  12. Re:Calculator on Apple Offers Mac OS X 10.3.7 Update · · Score: 1

    Everything else seems to work, sorry man.

  13. Calculator on Apple Offers Mac OS X 10.3.7 Update · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Calculator is still being goofy. It won't draw the calculator itself if you have speak button pressed enabled, you have to disable it, then restart calculator for it to work. This is just my experience. YMMV.

  14. Re:Damn on EA Obtains Exclusive NFL Licensing Rights · · Score: 1

    Sports are games of numbers, we like numbers, right?

  15. Re:Damn on EA Obtains Exclusive NFL Licensing Rights · · Score: 1

    If you think liking sports makes you less geeky, or less edgy, you're wrong.

  16. Not a good idea. on Running a Server at Freezing Temperatures? · · Score: 1

    Hot CPU + cold air = condensation. Water inside a PC=bad.

  17. Irony. on Former CIA Head Calls for Limiting Access to the Internet · · Score: 1

    So ARPA created it as something to make us safer, now it's our downfall?

  18. Re:I use Flickr. on Flickr Online Photo Service Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I'm not quite at the professional level yet, working on it though.

  19. I use Flickr. on Flickr Online Photo Service Reviewed · · Score: 2, Informative

    I use flickr as an easy way of sharing my photos. The dealmaker was the great communities that are on there. People will give you constructive input, not elitist prickery when you post your photos. More than I can say for deviant art/etc.

  20. No, unless. on How Important is a Well-Known CS Degree? · · Score: 1

    It doesn't really matter unless it is an Ivy league school. Most employers would hire an MIT grad over a South Overshoe State grad. But would anyone put much credence in South Overshoe State over South Overshoe Tech?

  21. Re:No. on Does Open Source Need Quality Standards? · · Score: 1

    I guess my point, which I seem to have missed, was that this is precisely what OSS is trying to avoid.

  22. No. on Does Open Source Need Quality Standards? · · Score: 1

    Then who would test the beta/non-working versions of new projects?

  23. Seems to me.... on Failed Win XP Upgrade Wipes Out UK Government Agency · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that there is just a lack of importance/trust placed in computing in general, due to the bad rap that MS has being applied across the board. Call me a troll if you like, but this would not have happened in a *nix/Apple shop. There is far too much at stake for willy nilly mistakes like this. Also, with 500 million quid, could they have not built an isolated test subnet?

  24. Re:Grade on Is The 'CSI Phenomenon' Good For Science? · · Score: 1

    So the tired "antihero" motif that has been beaten to death?

  25. Re:I'm gong to be rich! on Microsoft Patents 'IsNot', Enlists WTO · · Score: 1

    Your "I" key is borked, isn't it?
