  1. Liability on Should I Take Toyota's Software Update? · · Score: 1

    If you don't, and you have a wreck that is related to the recall, guess who is on the hook? ( one hint, it wont be Toyota or your insurance company )

  2. "status quo is the highest goal" on Independent Programmers' No-Win Scenario · · Score: -1, Troll

    Welcome to the land of Socialism. Tho you are a bit late noticing, have a nice stay, and can I have that loaf of bread you are carrying?

  3. "free viruses here" on Passive-Aggressive Wi-Fi Hotspots · · Score: 1

    Local guy has that. I thought it was amusing, and not offensive.

  4. Re:$100 discount? on iPad Will Beat Netbooks With "Magic" · · Score: 1

    If i had known, would i have posted the complaint?
    While that does help quite a bit, id have preferred blue tooth ability for keyboard/mouse, without jailbreak.. Woudln't cost them anything to enable it, and would make people happy.

    Might be cool for the ipod too, if its compatible.

  5. No kidding on Cell Phone Data Predicts Movement Patterns · · Score: 1

    People are creatures of habit thus predictable most of the time.

    So where is my cut of the grant money?

  6. $100 discount? on iPad Will Beat Netbooks With "Magic" · · Score: 1

    Make it $200 off, and jailbroke so i can use a REAL keyboard, install my own software, and then we can talk. Until then its just a big ipod touch ... and i already have one of them, and it fits in my pocket to boot.

  7. Re:Mirror and Donation Link Here on Cryptome in Hot Water Again · · Score: 1

    And get put on a watched list...

  8. Re:Seriously flawed logic on Use Open Source? Then You're a Pirate! · · Score: 1

    The article quotes the IIPA recommendation on Indonesia:

    Rather than fostering a system that will allow users to benefit from the best solution available in the market, irrespective of the development model, it encourages a mindset that does not give due consideration to the value to intellectual creations.

    I think this is is seriously flawed logic.

    Flawed for who? Us users or the companies that are buying the laws to restrict our rights and freedoms?

  9. Re:"takes" on Perth Game Company CEO Takes IP By Night · · Score: 1

    Considering its a small shop, i was going under the assumption that the CEO has controlling stock if it was a corporation in the first place, since more then likely was the owner before/if it went public.

    If it was still a private company, same rules applied anyway so i still say its 'his' to do as he pleases with.

  10. Re:There's a positive side. on Corned Beef Sandwich Smuggled Into Space · · Score: 1

    Except those guys are extremely intelligent, and its logical to expect a mess in zero G.. And rather dangerous too with the risk of inhalation of sandwich parts.

  11. "takes" on Perth Game Company CEO Takes IP By Night · · Score: 1

    Well, if hes the CEO, its legally his stuff. The employees work for the company and they don't normally have ownership rights of their work. Happens all the time when companies go under and restructure

    Now, bailing out on their salaries, that's uncool and something to get upset over. ( but it also happens when companies go out of business...)

  12. Re:Depends on the output on Considering Cheaper Pico-Projectors As Standard Equipment On Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    Bring a charger.

  13. Re:Better value per dollar on What You Get When You Buy a $40 iPhone In a Bar · · Score: 1

    I found a problem wit their blackberry clones: WAP wouldn't work on this side of the ocean, only with Chinese carriers. Other then that, i agree it was a decent ( not great... ) deal.

  14. Re:lulz on Google Buys iPhone Search App, Kills It · · Score: 1

    Or any number of other companies ( and governments ) throughout history... Microsoft didnt invent it ( what did they invent? ) they just learned to use the tactic well.

  15. Wrong story line on 2010 — the Year AACS and HDMI Kill Off HD Component Video · · Score: 1

    It should read "Greed killed off.... "

  16. Re:It's a company. Of course it's right. on Sony Joins the Offensive Against Pre-Owned Games · · Score: 1

    Until its a monopoly in a 'critical sector' i totally agree.

    Its just a video game...

  17. Re:Pre-owned = Piracy on Sony Joins the Offensive Against Pre-Owned Games · · Score: 1

    It is a 'potential lost sale' since they didn't get the initial media cost out of you, so you must be a thief or something.

  18. When they start making replicants.. on Google Gets US Approval To Buy and Sell Energy · · Score: 1

    They will rename themselves to Tyrell Corporation.

    Why does this have a ominous tone? I know they are a business trying to diversify, etc.. but all that they are doing has the bad 'feel' to it.

  19. Re:original article on Owners Smash iPhones To Get Upgrades, Says Insurance Company · · Score: 1

    You must be new here.

  20. Re:Insurance Offerings on Owners Smash iPhones To Get Upgrades, Says Insurance Company · · Score: 1

    Well, they should be able to expect honesty in their customers. Its just a sign of the times i guess.

  21. Re:Anandtech 'Bench' compares ALL recent CPUs... on Today's Best CPUs Compared... To a Pentium 4 · · Score: 1

    You mean all recent ix86 style CPU's.

  22. Re:solution: add noise on Did We Lose the Privacy War? · · Score: 1

    Good luck with that one. They are far better at filtering out the garbage then you could imagine.

  23. Re:You surrendered. on Did We Lose the Privacy War? · · Score: 1

    I agree, but only to an extent. You still have to have a place to live, job, eat, pay taxes, walk past security cameras... Some things are about impossible to hide from. And that data is mined too.

  24. Of cousre this is posible. on A Warming Planet Can Mean More Snow · · Score: 1

    Earth climate is not a simple x=y+1 formula like most want to believe ( or can understand, since most people are stupid ) and is horrendously complex.

    Not going to get into the 'man made' part of this discussion, ( or even if it IS warming or not.. ) but large scale warming can cause strange weather patterns since it means there is more stored energy in the atmosphere and moisture to dish out.

  25. Re:So they should on Apple Bans Jailbreakers From the App Store · · Score: 1

    I would say that 90% of their customers are happy with what they are getting out of a stock phone + itunes. The other 10% would never be happy.
