  1. Re:asian counterfeits? on Some Newegg Customers Received Fake Intel Core i7s · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Its not THAT hard to do this at home. Good color laser and good paper could do the box. The rest, any highschool student with some basic tools could do.

    Rather funny if you ask me, I'm surprised its taken this long for something like this to happen in the mainstream

  2. is something altogether different on Sony Patents Game Demos With Feature Erosion · · Score: 1

    I like to refer to it as an 'arrogant scam', and not a 'demo'.

  3. Contract on Why Paying For Code Doesn't Mean You Own It · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Write a good contract and the issue is moot, for both parties.

  4. indefinite punishment on California To Create Public Animal Abuser Registry · · Score: 1

    Also means indefinite servitude to the government since you cant get a job..

  11. Potential for secret conversations on Researchers Convert Mouth Movements Into Speech · · Score: 1

  12. Re:A over worked sysadm is like a texting driver on New "Spear Phishing" Attacks Target IT Admins · · Score: 1

    I disagree, if you do something via an unsolicited EMAIL then you are a fool. It has nothing to do with being overworked. Its common sense.

    Now, if they call you on the phone, and give you real verifiable meat, then i can see bad things happening. But even then, id want to call them back to verify if things sounded the least bit strange.

  13. Re:Taxes are already paid. on Microsoft VP Suggests 'Net Tax To Clean Computers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Personally, id rather the government stay out of my business.. If you demand they 'fix the problem', then they will be in your face every second you are online and you wont like the result.

    Just create a new government department to do those door to door searches if they triangulate an open wifi to your home.
