  1. No criminal penalties in the US on German Police Raid 51 CeBIT Stands Over Patent Claims · · Score: 1

    Today. Give the IP conglomerates a few more years of buying votes/laws and that may change. And just think, your tax dollars will be used to fund the raids on what should be a civil issue.

  2. QoS? on Verizon, Fiber Or Die? · · Score: 1

    Do you have it in your contract? If not, they don't care.

    "up to xxx mps doesn't count )

  3. Re:Predictable on Chicago Links School Cameras To Police · · Score: 1

    No, id be protecting myself instead, or going somewhere else.

  4. The perfect date on Cyber Storm II Set To Begin · · Score: 2, Interesting

    To do *real* break-ins. Yours might get lost in the noise of the 'test'.

  5. Re:So what's the point? on British Airport Will Require Fingerprints From Domestic Passengers · · Score: 1

    The point is to track ( and in turn control ) the populace.

    "terrorism prevention" is just the excuse to get the sheep to accept it, or if they did a real good job marketing, want it.

  6. Vindicated again on British Airport Will Require Fingerprints From Domestic Passengers · · Score: 1

    Man, i wish i was wrong sometimes.

  7. Re:Big Brother knows best on Chicago Links School Cameras To Police · · Score: 1

    No, everyone will feel so much safer and welcome the cameras...

    Or something like that.

  8. Predictable on Chicago Links School Cameras To Police · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So, slippery slopes don't exist and only tinfoil hatters believe in them? Right?

    Morons. Giving your rights and freedoms away like it was candy.

  9. Re:WTF? on NASA Running Out of Plutonium · · Score: 1

    It doesn't mean we *cant* make more, just that its cheaper to buy already processed from Russia so we are taking advantage of the pricing situation.

    It also means one less warhead that someone can point at us in the future as a bonus.

  10. Re:Terrill? on Homemade Robot Patrols Atlanta Streets · · Score: 1

    You Do?

    I happen to remember a Tyrell, but not a Terrill...

  11. Re:ID Theft? on House IP Leader Endorses P2P Blocking · · Score: 1

    So you can just vote in someone just like them?

    I cant find a real difference in any of the politicians. Sure, they talk differently to appeal to different groups but the end result is the same.

  12. Why stop there? on House IP Leader Endorses P2P Blocking · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why not just ban IP communications altogether?

    Or write-able drives? Or photocopiers? Or word of mouth... Or books.. Hell, lets ban knowledge.

  13. authorized to seize on Controversial Section of PRO-IP Act Cut · · Score: 1

    Time to encrypt.

    What ever happened to that case that was to claim that the 5th amendment also covers your digital data?

  14. Re:Sure, great idea on New Lock Aims To End Chip Piracy · · Score: 1

    But if they have "blueprints", they could just work around the 'lock'.

  15. Sneaker-Net on The Cuban Memory Stick Underground · · Score: 1

    But using 2008 tech.

  16. Full disk encryption on Aussie Cops Want Powers To Search Any Computer · · Score: 1

    And forget the password due to the 'stress of being investigated for something i haven't done', unless they have something that resembles our 5th amendment here in the states.

  17. Re:Cool on Feds Have a High-Speed Backdoor Into Wireless Carrier · · Score: 1

    No.

  18. Re:Does it even matter? on Linus Denounces NDISWrapper, Denies It GPL Status · · Score: 1

    Actually, i dont belive in IP rights at all. Nor do i adhere to them.

    But if you want/need to be bound by a license, i think the BSD license is more free then the GPL anyway, so if i dont 'deserve' the GPL, thats ok with me.

  19. Cool on Feds Have a High-Speed Backdoor Into Wireless Carrier · · Score: 2, Funny

    How do i get one to my house?

  20. Does it even matter? on Linus Denounces NDISWrapper, Denies It GPL Status · · Score: 2, Insightful

    With out it, many of us would be screwed for drivers.

    Who really cares if its bla bla bla compliant?

  21. I doubt it on Can Architects Save Libraries from the Internet? · · Score: 1

    Sure, they will be something different then we have today due to changing times/tech, but i don't see libraries ever going away.

  22. All of these services are unregulated on Why Is Less Than 99.9% Uptime Acceptable? · · Score: 1

    I really hope the poster wasn't advocating more governmental control.

    Part of the reason 99.9 is acceptable, is because it is.. Most services don't really *need* 99.9% uptime anyway. Another reason, is people are used to downtime now in all aspects of their life, so the extra % really doesn't matter to people for the most part.

  23. Re:LOADING....... on Intel Researchers Consider Ray-Tracing for Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you were using the wrong hardware and OS back then.

  24. Re:"computational requirements" on Intel Researchers Consider Ray-Tracing for Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    Get off my lawn ya whippersnapper.

    if it has to be explained why the 'older day's of computing was better then today, you are too young and would never understand.

  25. Forget electromagnetic shielding on Large Sheets of Carbon Nanotubes Produced · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If this stuff is as strong as aluminum, why aren't we using it to actually build things like cars and buildings?

    Has anyone leaked the details of how their process works beyond the little 'teaser' in the article? Could it be scaled down to personal size? Im thinking it would be great to add their process to a home 3D printer.
