  1. Re:Lucky Them on Microsoft Shutting Down MSN Messenger After 15 Years of Service · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So how much did you pay for MSN Messenger? ( which is the actual topic here. )

  2. Re:Why is it not trivial? on Reformatting a Machine 125 Million Miles Away · · Score: 0

    Your choice. I offered a valid solution.

  3. Re:Why is it not trivial? on Reformatting a Machine 125 Million Miles Away · · Score: 1

    You are more than welcome to get a court order and demand IP addresses, then compare them. I'm sure both places log IP+posts.

    Nah, its not. But believe what you wish, it is a free country. ( assuming a US citizen here )

    See, the problem is i wasn't doing that. You simply failed to impress me enough to deserve the truth. I rarely give anyone that chance, so you should feel special. But its nice to know you performed as expected.

    Sorry, not the same person. No "nickname" is overly unique in the online world these days. Its not 1980 anymore.

    But i dont want to blow my karma.

    It was just a question. It had nothing to do with who I am. Think of it as a quiz to see if you deserve to know who i am.

    However, you failed question #1 miserably, by not answering a simple yes/no question, and instead being a smart-ass. Thus not deserving.

    Ever hear of VX gas?

  9. Re:Why is it not trivial? on Reformatting a Machine 125 Million Miles Away · · Score: 1

    Don't need to prove anything to a potty mouthed coward.

  10. Re:Why is it not trivial? on Reformatting a Machine 125 Million Miles Away · · Score: 0

    Who said i *think* that? I am smarter, which is an actual fact. ( tho to you, not knowing who i really am, I could appear to be a random person so i will give you that )

  11. Re:Why is it not trivial? on Reformatting a Machine 125 Million Miles Away · · Score: 1

    What kind of handwaving armchair wannabe are you?

    One that plans ahead well enough that this would not considered 'news'. Instead it would be just SoP.

  12. Why is it not trivial? on Reformatting a Machine 125 Million Miles Away · · Score: 1

    Why didn't they plan ahead for this sort of operation in the beginning, making it painless and 'reliable' ( as possible ).

  13. Re:Self-Inflicted Damage on Islamic State "Laptop of Doom" Hints At Plots Including Bubonic Plague · · Score: 1

    I can guarantee that whatever disease was launched would make its way back to the population that ISIS purports to represent.

    And? This isn't a problem for them.

  14. Re:Fail on Robot Printer Brings Documents To Your Desk · · Score: 1

    You aren't being paid to 'stretch your legs'. Get back to work and be productive, slacker.

  15. its 2014 on Robot Printer Brings Documents To Your Desk · · Score: 1

    Why are we still printing documents?

  16. Why should it be "cool"? on If Java Wasn't Cool 10 Years Ago, What About Now? · · Score: 2

    Its a programming language, not a car.. It should be treated like a tool. What should be 'cool' is what you do with it..

  17. really? on UK Police Warn Sharing James Foley Killing Video Is a Crime · · Score: 2

    Posting is a terrorist *act*? it may be really tacky, uncool, and not something i would want to watch, but is NOT a terrorist act.

    What is next, discussing it is considered a terrorist act ?

    Man, we are falling down the rabbit hole faster than most of us could have imagined. Our founding fathers are spinning in their graves.

  18. Um no. on 33 Months In Prison For Recording a Movie In a Theater · · Score: 1

    The sentence was not from recording the movie, it was from SELLING it.

    Even for me, that crosses the line. For profit piracy is wrong.

  19. It depends on Calif. Court Rules Businesses Must Reimburse Cell Phone Bills · · Score: 5, Interesting

    To me it all centers around: Was BYOD optional?

    If they offered a company device and you refused, then i say you are on your own.

    If they didnt offer one but you NEED it to do your job, then i say they are on the hook, as well as tax credit ramifications.

    If they dont offer and you only use it as its a convenience to make your life easier, then again, you are on your own.

    Furthermore, if you are optionally using your device for office work, they get to mandate policy on its use, up to and including MDM type control.

    BYOD is just a bad idea. Companies should give employees the tools they need for their job, and forbid personal devices.

  20. Teach what? on Professor Steve Ballmer Will Teach At Two Universities This Year · · Score: 1

    How to be a prick? ( well, a lucky wealthy prick.. but still a prick )

  21. Re:This story paid for by AT&T and Verizon... on Smartphone Kill Switch, Consumer Boon Or Way For Government To Brick Your Phone? · · Score: 1

    Blocking your phone at the tower does not stop you from posting your incriminating photos via wifi...

  22. Re:Who gives you the right? on Knocking Down the Great Firewall of China · · Score: 1

    So you are back to proving my point, its all about what YOU think, what the others think is irrelevant.

    While i agree it was a bit of an extreme example, the crusades were considered moral, and there is no question about them imposing their concepts of it on others.

    There are many non-extreme examples that can be made with one part of the world thinking another part is totally backwards/immoral/etc, and none of them have the right to interfere with the others.

    And i'm done here, some of us have productive things to do.

  23. Re:Who gives you the right? on Knocking Down the Great Firewall of China · · Score: 1

    I sincerely hope you're trolling.

    Not in the least. I happen to feel that meddling is wrong. Regardless of what is being imposed. ( i do happen to think censorship is bad, but its none of my business if another country does not support it )

  24. Re:Who gives you the right? on Knocking Down the Great Firewall of China · · Score: 1

    Your posts continue to make absolutely zero sense.

    Only to people who think you need to impose your values on others and the ends justify the ( illegal and immoral ) means.

    I suppose you supported the crusades too.

  25. Re:Who gives you the right? on Knocking Down the Great Firewall of China · · Score: 1

    It's not your country either

    Then what is 'my country' and 'my business', if you are so smart? ( and whatever your answer is, its wrong. )

    Also, if you were to understand how china works, you dont have to create the tool, all you have to do is tell others its there to earn your [well deserved] fate. The fewer nosy people left in the world like you, the better the world would be.
