  1. Re:Excuse me Sir, I'm lost... on Pirate Bay Trio Lose Appeal · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking the court room comment for that is:

    Leads to speculation...

    no?

    How am I responsible for others action? I could document how to build, place and detonate a explosive device, but I don't believe that makes me responsible for the actions of another individual using those documents to commit a crime, at least in the U.S.

    Not true in Sweden?

  2. Money == Time on Pirate Bay Trio Lose Appeal · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So, based on 12 mos, to 10 mos, and 4.5 => 6.5. I'd rather do 16 1/2 months and not give them a dime.

    I'm sure that's not a real option...

    By the way, who gets the money (besides the lawyers)? Sweden, or the *IAA?

    I've heard of this great tool, 2BDB2, which may be able to assist.

    I'm going to answer your question with a question.

      What exactly is it you care about?

    Since ext4 meets 'your' needs - why continue developeing anything. Close up shop, we're done here...

  5. Re:I'm all for it, on eJuror Will Lead To New List of Jury Duty Excuses · · Score: 2, Interesting

    More rhetoric...

      66 percent criminal trials (47 percent felony crimes plus 19 percent misdemeanor crimes)

      31 percent civil trials

      4 percent other

    You can try and "justify" your lack of responsibility to civic duties, but facts speak for themselves.

    Bzzt, wrong

    It is his jury, he has at least a 50% stake in picking it...

    I'm calling bull on your rhetoric:

    Average daily juror pay: $22 (approximately 25 percent of daily per capita income), Average length of jury trial: five days for criminal trials, four days for civil trials, Average length of jury deliberations: four hours for both criminal and civil trials

    Data is from 2009

    "indefinite length of time", really?

    If you're so bad with managing your money that a few days out of work would bankrupt you, I wouldn't want you on a jury anyway...

    It's a "joke" because good people don't serve, not because the process is bad...

    Money is, in my opinion, the poorest excuse...

    I hope you, and others that "dodge" jury duty, get into legal trouble soon!

    So you too can be judged by the "unfortunate ones" of the world that weren't "smart enough" to get out of jury duty. You know, the illiterate morons that end up finding the innocent guilty, and the guilty innocent...

    Why do you feel it's ok to take an essential part of the civic infrastructure for granted?

    Honestly, I mis-read your statement to mean that there was a way to bypass the lock.

    I agree with your statement, but have no way of correcting the original post...

    Not even. You could just check out the last revision checked in on the due date. Subsequent revisions wouldn't even matter.

    That statement is proof that you don't know how to admin a repository...

    Using and administration are two very different things

  15. Vendors on Google Sues US Gov't For Only Considering Microsoft · · Score: 2, Informative

    A lot of discussion on "How come only Microsoft".

    While I agree it's not "competitive", I think they are looking for bids on hosting a Microsoft based solution - not Microsoft, the company, providing the hosting

  16. Re:oracle steping up or apple losing on Gosling Reacts To Apple's Java Deprecation · · Score: 1

    While I don't care for the direction OS X appears to be headed, your statement is just fear mongering ( or you really don't get it).

    All of my banking website depend heavily on JavaScript, but not a single one uses java.

    If you're interested in doing this, you had better hurry. Currently ATVs are $149 on Apples site, and comparable on EBay, but will be going way up when Apples supply is diminished.

    Close, but no cigar.

    All iPhones support the new OS, but not all of the features.

    The only iPod Touch that won't run the new OS is the first gen.

    Otherwise all iPod touches and iPhones are "good to go*"

    * = some features not available.
