  1. Sounds good for some cases on How To Create Your Own Cryptocurrency · · Score: 2

    It sounds like a good idea for some cases, like for custom in-game currencies, and for 'private groups' of people.

  2. Public data is public on Should Facebook 'Likes' Count As Commercial Endorsements? · · Score: 2

    Private data is semi-private. Don't want your name to be associated to something, don't use social media. Remember the services own the content, not you.

  3. Re:$300? on Linksys Resurrects WRT54G In a New Router · · Score: 1

    Those spending that much on the WRT should be able to roll their own..

  4. Re:just consoles? on China Lifts 13-Year-Old Foreign Console Ban · · Score: 1

    Restricted by law, not practice.

  5. Name only? on McAfee Brand Name Will Be Replaced By Intel Security · · Score: 1

    Too bad its not the entire product line, the resource sucking hog that it is.

    Either way, still seems a bit odd to me that someone would decide whether or not anyone is worth conversing with on any topic based on just this one snippet of ancient history. Maybe that's just me though.

    See that is a trap, i never said you had to agree solely about my feeling about Booth being a patriot ( for the record i base this on him willing to give his life for his country, even if his country was short lived ), but what i state in general.

    Yes, John Wilkes. No, the war really wasn't about slavery.

  8. Laws of war? on Are New Technologies Undermining the Laws of War? · · Score: 1

    Is this a joke? There is only one law: Win, or you are conquered.

  9. just consoles? on China Lifts 13-Year-Old Foreign Console Ban · · Score: 1

    I assume games are still restricted.

    Or are afraid to ask, since they assume it also lets in all the 'bad stuff'.

    The question is why are you even asking this question.. of course it was part of the plan.

  12. Its just "pay to play" on AT&T Introduces "Sponsored Data" Allowing Services to Bypass 4G Data Caps · · Score: 1

    This should be clearly illegal and i hope they get slapped down for this as its anti-competitive.

  13. Re:$300? on Linksys Resurrects WRT54G In a New Router · · Score: 1

    I agree that not *everyone* can, but clearly the people that are spending $300 to buy THIS box are the same group that could.

    However, i disagree that *most* cant. if you can figure out how to write an image to a USB flash or CD, and follow a few really simple steps, you could to create your own functional pfsense box. If you cant later do the advanced stuff, you wont be doing it with $300 dollar dedicated consumer network hardware either, so both routes are really pointless for you.

  14. Re:$300? on Linksys Resurrects WRT54G In a New Router · · Score: 1

    Yes you can, but at the $300, my own box would already have storage included.

    Time to find a new dentist. If he doesn't understand his tools, no thanks.

  16. It's an ambitious project on "Clinical Trials" For Programming Languages? · · Score: 0

    No, its a stupid project. Pick one (or two), and become proficient. That would be a worthwhile project.

  17. Re:Regulate this on CES: Laser Headlights Edge Closer To Real-World Highways · · Score: 1

    It is simply not a reasonable assumption in the US that people are capable of properly aligning their lights

    I take it you live where there are not yearly car inspections. Many states do this, and they check brightness and alignment, among other things. ( or at least did when i still lived in one of those states ).

    Regardless tho, you don't correct a problem with compliance by restricting MY rights to do something. People are killed by improper driving, do you also propose eliminating cars?

  18. Re:Regulate this on CES: Laser Headlights Edge Closer To Real-World Highways · · Score: 1

    Many states in the USA do this too.

  19. $300? on Linksys Resurrects WRT54G In a New Router · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yikes. Could build a really small fan-less PC and run pfsense on it AND have storage..

  20. Re:About time on Google Launches Android Automotive Consortium · · Score: 1

    This is normal practice and has been since the beginning of electronic components in cars. What company wants to share its secrets with others?

  21. Re:Just give me a standard size and connector! on Google Launches Android Automotive Consortium · · Score: 1

    Do you want a 5-10 year old device hard-wired into your car 5-10 years from now?

    The plan is you wont have that car 5-10 years. 1 or 2 year trade-ups, perhaps with a subsidy to keep you on contract... BYOC will be frowned upon.

    Joking aside i do remember a time when many people would simply trade up every year or so, and once the car was not new, the dealers really could have cared less.

  22. No thanks on Google Launches Android Automotive Consortium · · Score: 1

    I don't need or want a intelligent components when inexpensive, simple, proven and reliable mechanical components have done fine for decades.

    Just because you can isn't always a valid reason.
