  1. Employees choice on Apple Sued For Turning Workers Into Slaves · · Score: 1

    This isnt slavery, they have a choice. They also agreed to it when they hired on.

  2. Re:Might as well be on Faux-CNN Spam Blitz Delivers Malicious Flash · · Score: 1

    Don't forget not all infections come from direct user interaction.

    Sure, its the majority since people are stupid, but there are self replicating/spreading worms out there.

  3. Re:Finally! on Faux-CNN Spam Blitz Delivers Malicious Flash · · Score: 0, Redundant

    20+? That is small time.

  4. More secure, yes. on Faux-CNN Spam Blitz Delivers Malicious Flash · · Score: 2, Informative

    But not invincible..

  5. IE7 Scam on Faux-CNN Spam Blitz Delivers Malicious Flash · · Score: 5, Funny

    There is another similar one pushing 'IE 7 is now available for download' from 'Microsoft'.

    ya.. right...

  6. Re:250 games in 1! on $12 MIT Computer Based On NES, Not Apple II · · Score: 1

    At least the DTV-64 had a 'real' 64 in it. It was a FPGA implementation of one + a emulated drive with a bunch of games.

    I see this just being 'yet another retro game console relived' and dying on the vine ( like it should )

  7. Yet another retro game console? on $12 MIT Computer Based On NES, Not Apple II · · Score: 1

    Too bad, the apple ][ idea would have been educational.

  8. Re:Bad precedent... on MySpace Suicide Charges Threaten Free Speech · · Score: 1

    So that means that this woman shouldn't have to own up to her own actions?

    If she was on her doorstep in her face not leaving when asked, etc. we might have someting to talk about. But that isnt what happened.

    Its pretty hard to compare someone shooting at you and a instant message. One you can just walk away from. The other is assult.

  9. Re:Just wait ... on Lessig Predicts Cyber 9/11 Event, Restrictive Laws · · Score: 1

    Its not there yet, but perhaps someday. It took the founders a while too, and the oppression touched daily life of most every citizen of the colonies.

  10. Re:Just wait ... on Lessig Predicts Cyber 9/11 Event, Restrictive Laws · · Score: 1

    but the internet as we know it will be dead.

    I think we have already passed that point and its just not sunk in yet.

    How does that go again about the frog in boiling water?

    And hope the company doesn't have a better attorney that eats your circumstantial case alive.

  12. Re:I must be missing something.. on Your Medical Treatment History Is For Sale · · Score: 1

    Perhaps that is an end-goal. Create a country of serfs that the government can step in and 'take care of'.

  13. Re:Bad precedent... on MySpace Suicide Charges Threaten Free Speech · · Score: 1

    Except you have a legal right to have an 'alias' as long as its not intended to be used for illegal purposes.

    In some parts of the world we call them nicknames.

  14. Re:Bad precedent... on MySpace Suicide Charges Threaten Free Speech · · Score: 1

    Why can't people learn to look at their own issues before pointing fingers and pushing blame to everyone else so quickly?

    You must be new on the earth. Its how things are today, people take zero responsibility.

    And i agree, what the woman did was 'wrong' but she didn't hand the girl a gun and force her to do anything.

    If this goes thru all we will do is breed a world of sissies who cant deal with having their feelings hurt over every day life. Life isn't fair and people suck, and the sooner people figure that out the happier they will be.

  15. Re:Enterprise Company Support on IBM Pushing Microsoft-Free Desktops · · Score: 1

    Problem is most people ( around here anyway ) don't/can't think 'enterprise' and look at things thru the eyes of a personal user or small business, neither of which are of any consequence in the grand scheme of things.

    They don't fully understand the different treatment you get when you are a large/enterprise customer dropping tons of cash. It can be like night and day in many cases.

  16. Re:What does Windows support cost? on IBM Pushing Microsoft-Free Desktops · · Score: 1

    Depends on the level of support you purchased. I have never had an experience like that when i have had to contact them due to some horribly obscure issue.

    Of course I've never had to contact them for any help until i was working for organizations with over 30000 desktops, as under that help really wasn't needed.

    And as a disclaimer, i have never contacted a *nix vendor for any help.

  17. Re:Print Link (and commentary) on IBM Pushing Microsoft-Free Desktops · · Score: 1

    Considering most large businesses ( which make the tech world go round ) opt to get molp type agreements with support bundled in, i don't see your point as being that valid.

    The dude at home getting a single copy without support isn't what drives the industry.

  18. Free Speech? on MySpace Suicide Charges Threaten Free Speech · · Score: 1

    That is still around? I thought the government took that away a while ago.

  19. Re:Sweet on MIT Team Working On a $12 Apple (II) Desktop · · Score: 1

    A cheap keyboard + a FPGA would make this possible, but for a few more bucks.

  20. Re:American Disabilities Act (ADA) on Your Medical Treatment History Is For Sale · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The problem is proving that the employer used the data against you. Its so easy to find other reasons that are hard to fight to do what ever they want that its all a big joke.

  21. Re:I must be missing something.. on Your Medical Treatment History Is For Sale · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you have a bad credit rating, you aren't good at handling your personal finances, so why would you be any better handling your duties at work?

    ( not that i agree, but that is the thinking, and why they ask )

  22. All data is for sale. on Your Medical Treatment History Is For Sale · · Score: 1

    Every bit of data out there is for sale at this point. Its rather disgusting.

  23. Its not because of COBOL on California Can't Perform Pay Cut Because of COBOL · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Its because of poor coding skills.

    Convenient scapegoat there they have.

  24. Concert ticket sales on Study Suggests Music Industry Embrace Piracy · · Score: 1

    Benefit the bands more then the artists. That is where a lot of bands make their money.

    Not that its a bad thing of course, they do the work, they deserve the cash.
