  1. Re:Check this out on Is the Web Heading Toward Redirect Hell? · · Score: 1

    Moderators, thought this redirection is written to go to goatse.cx
    TinyURL does a preview of it and experience surfers will avoid it.

    I was thinking of trying this myself but looks like TinyURL is already on the ball to prevent goatse.cx abuse.

    Maybe because they (hackers) don't want to be banned from twitter when they are found out?

    I can just see it now:

    The "HERPES-4_LOVE_DOLL" rushing for the hot water faucet then the Toilet to "Vomit" and "Pee" itself clean after an "encounter".

    If something like this sees light of day, crack whores could die of withdrawal.

    This still leaves out Motorola Android phones.
    They fixed them good and hackers just avoid them since other more capable Android phones exists.

  6. Re:not protects on HDCP Master Key Is Legitimate; Blu-ray Is Cracked · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It would not work.

    Let's say the KEY is the score (A,B,G#, etc) of a song converted into a HEX string. The song and score are copyrighted but the FACT that the HEX string created from the score cannot be copyrighted. The HEX string (the Key) is still just a number.

    If a corp was TRULY treated like a person, then it should got to jail like a regular person does when it kill people etc.

    Currently they just pay a fine. They should instead have all of its operations suspended for the duration of "incarceration".

    Not if they use reverse "Hollywood Accounting".

    That way they ISP will be paying WAY MORE than the 25%.

  10. Re:really? on Police Publish 'An Introduction To PEDO BEAR' · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I was at a Costco and the police (i think) had a bear mascot encouraging kids to get fingerprinted in case they get kidnapped.
    I told the mascot: "You haven't heard about Pedobear, have you?"
    The mascot shook its head no.
    I snickered into Costco...

    and you have micro-USB connector imposed on all carriers. How is that working?
    How is Apple coping with that? (MacHeads here are dying to know.)

  12. Re:its a valid point on Will Android Flavors Spoil the Platform? · · Score: 1

    The Carriers' lock down, the hardware mfr's lock down (Motorola) and permanent crapware are the reasons I am now leaning towards an iPhone 3GS.

    At least I can JailBreak the 3GS and do what I want.

    If I could get an Android that I could control with a good camera, I would jump.

    Unfortunately the Carriers want to treat all their users the same way: like idiot users.

    OT:
    I'm holding out for an Android phone with a flash *and* picture quality as good as an iPhone. The Samsung Galaxy S is the closest but no flash and no image stabilization. VLC would be a must it it existed but I'll setting for a phone/MP3/Camera for now. I'm sick of nursing multiple batteries/chargers and SD cards.

    I do not care to join the growing iPhone penile colony.

    Problem is that the business is incarceration and seizure of "ill gotten" property. The police departments in the USA need to enforce drug laws to get funding via seizures and the prisons need to expand to get more $ from the Fed.
