  1. Re:Compile it on States Demand Windows Source Code · · Score: 2

    Except, you know, the federal marshals can't go around acting on state enforcement actions.

    Yeah, they're busy running around enforcing licensing for Adobe and Microsoft.

  2. Re:Hey John Marshall... on Surveillance in Washington DC And At Bookstores · · Score: 2

    Cameras monitering public places is mentioned nowhere in the Constitution.

    Which Constitution would that be, the one written over two hundred years ago? I'm not sure the authors could envision a society with public cameras.

    There already is a tax on writable media in the States and Canada.

Comcast will disclose to third parties personally identifiable information that Comcast maintains related to customers only when it is necessary to deliver the Service to customers or carry out related business activities, in the ordinary course of business, for ordinary business purposes, and at a frequency dictated by Comcast's particular business need...

    Uh huh. Like Phase 3: Profit!

    I must agree, ReaderWare is cool. It's just a couple of clicks to share the same database between Linux and Windows too, if you dual-boot.

    Send me one. I still haven't found anyone who's willing to mail one to Canada. We're deprived up here! Send us your hand-me-down hardware, so that we may grow and learn!

  8. Re:Recommendation on Tracking Spam to the Source · · Score: 2

    ...It says that a 1998 report to the FTC produced under the leadership of the Center for Democracy and Technology recommended that marketers give consumers a choice to "opt in" or "opt out" of receiving unsolicited commercial e-mail (UCE) and urged law enforcement to continue to attack fraudulent UCE solicitations, including those with deceptive "header" information. (my emphasis)

    Looks like both.

    Keep your EULA away from my EULA, you sick bastard. And put your tongue back in your mouth.

    Nonono, the way this works is he gives you $100,000, and you infringe on his constitutional rights when he clicks on the waiver.

    How many boxes? You're gonna be sad when you find out. If you said something like "how many sites are hosted with Apache," you'd support your point better.

    You don't pay Pepsi, Pepsi pays you. Unless paid placement doesn't work, in which case they might think twice about paying you.

    about 70% of the world population can't even read and write.

    It's actually closer to 1/4 of the world population. Most people are considered literate these days (ignoring the obvious it's/its/there/their/they're problems).
