  1. Re:Put PRISM to use on FTC Wins Huge $7.5 Million Penalty Against "Do Not Call" List Violator · · Score: 2

    Best PR the govt. can get would be to use PRISM to locate these "account services" bastards and Guantanamo Bay their ass.

  7. Re:Google Voice on Congress May Permit Robot Calls To Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    I agree, Google Voice is an answer. Only callers in my phone list get through, all other get Voice Mail. Telemarketers if not already stopped by the beta spam filter will be tagged as spam and added to my blocked list never to be calling again from that number.

  8. It's not a comet on NASA Shoots Down Comet Elenin Doomsday Predictions · · Score: 1

    It's an alien space craft, make sure you have your Nike's on.

  9. Not worth risking your life or freedom. on $1.5 Billion Star Trek Theme Park Coming To Jordan · · Score: 1

    No way am I going to cross the Neutral Zone to visit a theme park even if it is a E ticket ride.

  10. No more AVG fro me! on AVG 2011 Update Causes Widespread Problems For 64-Bit Windows · · Score: 1

    An early November update hosed my 2 XP SP3 computers causing memory leaks. Any computer running continuously for 12 or so hrs crashed. Now this update takes out a Win 7 64 bit computer. 2 major problems is a one month period. I put the XP's on Panda cloud. Probably do the same for the Win 7 as well.

  11. Most likely on Voyager 2 Speaking In Tongues · · Score: 1

    Hijacked by alien pirates. Now transmitting ransom demands.

  12. Re:Sometimes the simplest statement is the best on The Art of The Farewell Email · · Score: 1

    Click here to install our crack for xyz software ( test material from OUSPG )
    If that did not work click here for our other version ( install virus of choice )
        Small chance you will need this version ;) since we are great coders.

    Sounds like fun.

  16. Fun toy on New 4100 Lumen Flashlight Can Set Things On Fire · · Score: 1

    Who needs a magnifying glass and a bright sunny day?

    Them ants don't stand a chance!

    Now if only I can get a set for my car to combat those HID lights. I could really burn their eyes out.

  17. Re:Pretty much just like a key. on New Controversy over Black Hat Presentation · · Score: 1


    When we had metal keys, there was always some disgruntled soul who would break of a key or jam something into the lock to prevent the rest of us from using our keys. At least that does not happen any more.

  18. Re:The Canadian gov't are idiots on Canadian Border Tightens Due to Info Sharing · · Score: 1

    "Why are we insulting American tourists???? Minor convictions from long ago should NOT affect their ability to enter the country."

    In the USA a conviction for DUI/DWI/DWAI is not a major offense, in my state it is a traffic offense. In Canada it is a FELONY. So for something considered a traffic offense in my state, I am a felony criminal in Canada? I don't recall seeing anything preventing a Canadian from entering the USA with a DWI conviction, but a American can not enter Canada with a DWI conviction.

    A search of the US DOS site ( travel.state.gov ) shows only Canada as a country that prevents people with DWI's from entering.

    Where is the parity in that?

  19. Re: on Gears of War Heading To PC Someday · · Score: 1

    Probably be just another Direct X 10, Windows Vista only project like Halo 2.

  20. Why not brown uniforms? on Hong Kong Using Children to Hunt for Piracy · · Score: 1

    Heck give them brown uniforms with cool symbols on them instead of those blue ones.
    I wonder if they get extra credit turning in their parents?
    I can just see this happening, piss your kid off and they plant pirated goods in the house and turn you in. In the US they train the brats to threaten their parents with calling DYFS if you smack them in the bum.

    Kind of like the Twilight Zone "It's a good life" or Star Trek "Charlie X".
    Fear the children.

    I've found that you can get a square peg through a round hole with a big enough hammer.

  23. Re:Good for the customers on Google Launches PayPal Rival · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yea, I actually asked PayPal a policy question once on their defination on gambling. It seems that a website that has a contest that pays in PayPal payments constitute gambling, even though there is no cost for entry. But both PayPal and Ebay have had contests that pay in PayPal payments and this is not gambling. I asked them for a clarification on this and the promptly suspended my account and froze my money for "violation of TOS". An example: Here.

  24. Full price router only $5 up front! on $5 Social Wi-Fi Router · · Score: 1

    Get the router for $5, install it.
    Get your address posted on their web page.
    Have your ISP cancel your service for violation of TOS, or force removal of FON router.
    Pay full price of the router to FON for violation of their TOS.

  25. Still waiting on the P2P musicshare virus. on RIAA Recommends Students Drop out of College · · Score: 1


    I can't wait until someone finaly writes a virus that infects you, installs P2P software and open shares all your music files. At least this way there will be a documented way that you can claim your music files were shared without your knowledge or consent. If hundreds of thousands of computers get infected and everyone starts crying fowl and actually fights a RIAA extortion in court because of this, it may force the RIAA to have to issue a cease and desist or warning prior to trying to extort money from everyone.
