  1. Related to Freenet? on Anonymous Network I2P 0.7.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Sounds like its similar, does it also encrypt its local store?

  2. This a joke? on Rugged Linux Server For Rural, Tropical Environment? · · Score: 0

    You cant really be serious if you are on a shoestring budget.

  3. Re:I Bet H'wood Would Like to Stop All Sharing on Pirate Bay Court Loss Won't Stop the Flow of Files · · Score: 1

    *snip*

    And I can't get over the Swedish court's argument that making the service available is criminal, because it can be used illegally.

    Forgetting the politically charged 'sharing' issue at hand which polarizes people and blinds them to the big picture, a very *very* dangerous precedent was set with that decision, if this holds.

  4. Marketing on Microsoft Leaks Windows 7 RC Date — Before May 5 · · Score: 1

    Say what you will about Microsoft's engineering staff, they do have one hell of a marketing team.

  5. Stem cells on Stem Cell Treatment To Cure the Most Common Cause of Blindness · · Score: 1

    Are the answer to most any illness that doesn't have a hard genetic base to it. ( since the 'new' cells will eventually take on the same old genetic deficiency )

  6. Not just text documents on Online Storage For Lawyers? · · Score: 1

    Text documents, pictures, depositions ( audio ), scans of legal documents, etc.

    Attorneys create mountains of documents for cases, don't underestimate its volume.

  7. Roll your own on Online Storage For Lawyers? · · Score: 1

    That way you control its security.

  8. Unconstitutional on FBI and States Vastly Expand DNA Collection, Databases · · Score: 5, Insightful

    All records should be destroyed when the person is proven not guilty and released. WIth this ability they can just randomly detain people for questioning about some random crime that has no connection, get their DNA, and release them.

    For *innocent* people this is a clear violation of the 4th amendment. ( and perhaps others )

  9. Re:Surprised they let him on Record-Breaking Model Rocket Launch Set For April 25 · · Score: 1

    Right, but if you get TOO big i bet it would not qualify as amateur anymore and would step in.

  10. Surprised they let him on Record-Breaking Model Rocket Launch Set For April 25 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not joking here, i'm surprised the government has not stepped in and stopped him.

  11. Re:Ethical "Hackers".. of course on DHS Seeks "Ethical Hackers" To Protect Federal Net Infrastructure · · Score: 1

    I can still bitch about it. Now, get off my lawn!

  12. Re:Ethical "Hackers".. of course on DHS Seeks "Ethical Hackers" To Protect Federal Net Infrastructure · · Score: 2, Informative

    umm the term hacker predates the commercial internet.

    True it doesn't predate people that suck at golf however.

  13. Re:From the article :) on DHS Seeks "Ethical Hackers" To Protect Federal Net Infrastructure · · Score: 1

    Nah that means you are too good for them. They want controllable good.

  14. Re:From the article :) on DHS Seeks "Ethical Hackers" To Protect Federal Net Infrastructure · · Score: 3, Funny

    If you are good enough, they come to you.

  15. Ethical "Hackers".. of course on DHS Seeks "Ethical Hackers" To Protect Federal Net Infrastructure · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you are old school, hacking IS ethical, and any damage/profit beyond learning is against the "code".

    Amazing how powerful the media is in twisting definitions, public perception and alienating an entire culture.

  16. Experience on Obama Appoints Non-Tech Guy As CTO · · Score: 1

    Well, Obama has no real leadership experience either, so why not be consistent?

    I guess its better then appointing a fox to watch the henhouse like has happened in other cases recently.

  17. airline flight systems, and nuclear launch codes? on DHS Seeks "Ethical Hackers" To Protect Federal Net Infrastructure · · Score: 4, Informative

    Why are those even remotely accessible?

    While i see a need for networking ( at least in some cases ) they should be on their own completely dedicated line.

  18. Re:Your kindle doesn't die on Lose Your Amazon Account and Your Kindle Dies · · Score: 1

    With the radio turned off, they will have trouble with doing that.

  19. Lesson learned: on Antitrust Regulators To Monitor Windows 7, But Not Later Releases · · Score: 1

    If you are big enough to stall long enough, the government loses interest.

    Seems Both Microsoft and the terrorists have learned this.

  20. Re:Here's what Google should do on What the Pirate Bay Verdict Could Mean For Google · · Score: 1

    Eventually they will have no choice but to be a digital version of swiss cheese.

    It wont be a matter of 'being responsible' it will be a matter of staying out of court.

  21. I dont think on What the Pirate Bay Verdict Could Mean For Google · · Score: 1

    Rationally, i would agree with you, but the *AA's don't think rationally and seem to get their way at most every turn.

    They will sue and win to make "examples".

  22. Re:Theatre? on Pirate Bay Trial Ends In Jail Sentences · · Score: 1

    The jail time and fines make it even more of a theater.

  23. Re:How is it different? on Lose Your Amazon Account and Your Kindle Dies · · Score: 1

    Since i have plenty of books on my kindle that did not come from amazon. ( and are legal ) i don't compare it to critical components like 'blades'. My kindle is fully functional and has what i want to read on it, but its never talked to Amazons servers.

    I had ZERO problems getting these other books on mine, so i don't see them 'making it hard to get it anywhere else' either.

  24. Re:The big question that must be answered on The End of Tax-Free Internet Shopping? · · Score: 1

    Right the OP has it backwards. The federal government has explicit power to regulate ( ie, tax ) interstate trade. Them getting involved in internal 'trade' is unconstitutional.

  25. Re:which state(s)? on The End of Tax-Free Internet Shopping? · · Score: 1

    Both. So they can get you coming, and going.
