  1. Technology on When Criminals and Terrorists Communicate In Real Time · · Score: 1

    Can be used for good and evil. Its just the nature of humanity.

  2. Re:Oh for crying out loud on Google's Scanning of Gmail To Deliver Ads May Violate Federal Wiretap Laws · · Score: 1

    And users agreed to it as part of the terms to get the service for free.

  3. So who did Google piss off? on Google's Scanning of Gmail To Deliver Ads May Violate Federal Wiretap Laws · · Score: 0

    This is typical anti-company behavior by the federal government.

    Regardless of the discussion if they are right or wrong, Google was not bothered in the past, so apparently they pissed someone off at the federal level and now they are out to shut them down. ( and i'm sure extort them on the ride ).

    I bet they were asked to do something way out of line and declined and now will pay the price with complete shut down. But that is just theory.

  4. Re:Cue the comedy on Scientists Create New "Lightsaber-Like" Form of Matter · · Score: 1

    And you call yourself a nerd.

  5. Cue the comedy on Scientists Create New "Lightsaber-Like" Form of Matter · · Score: 1

    While everyone misses the science. Sad state of affairs of the so called 'geek'.

  6. Re:Screwy rule on Steve Jobs Video Kills Apple Patent In Germany · · Score: 1

    Its still you that invented it. I don't see a problem with telling people 'hey, its mine and im first'

    If you want to keep it secret you don't even apply for a patent.

  7. Screwy rule on Steve Jobs Video Kills Apple Patent In Germany · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Not being able to tell people what you have before you tell the government? i guess that is so they can keep the creme of the crop on ideas.

  8. Totally Blocked? on Will New Red-Text Warnings Kill Casual Use of Java? · · Score: 2

    No, i didn't RTFA... Are they going to refuse to run self-signed at all, or can you opt out of the blockage as the end user?

    I'm OK with a warning;"hey do you trust this?" and a choice to say yes, but complete blockage is uncool.

  9. Re:What a waste on Undiscovered Country of HFT: FPGA JIT Ethernet Packet Assembly · · Score: 1

    Without wealthy people you wont get your research for 'everyone else to use'.

  10. "wealth probably arises" on Wealth In Africa Mapped Using Mobile Phone Data · · Score: 0

    Wealth cant be accumulated via legal means and we just have to assume it was due to illegal means by default if you become wealthy?

    F-ing liberal

  11. who cares on Can There Be a Non-US Internet? · · Score: 1

    Its all going to be unusable here soon anyway. It almost is now.

  12. Re:Piracy rationalizations in 3... 2... 1... on UK MPs: Google Blocks Child Abuse Images, It Should Block Piracy Too · · Score: 1

    You can pay if you like. I choose not to.

  13. Re:Stylus on Nvidia Unveils Its Own 7" Tegra Note Tablet · · Score: 1

    No. But that is what an e-ink reader is for. Since color e-ink isn't a real option yet, LCD is used for tech books. You cant read a tech book on a tiny screen unless you want to zoom and pan all the time, thus my statement about being at least 8".

  14. I have to disagree on Georgia Cop Issues 800 Tickets To Drivers Texting At Red Lights · · Score: 1

    As long as you are sitting still, and do not hold up traffic when the light turns green i don't see a problem with a person using a device at the light.

    But if you don't drop it as soon as you move, you should be ticketed. If you don't move when the light turns green, again, a ticket.

  15. Regulation Of Knowledge on FDA Will Regulate Some Apps As Medical Devices · · Score: 1

    is the first step to eliminating it.

  16. Re:Only amateurs and idiots on The Other Pong · · Score: 1

    The Chinese don't have value anyway.

  18. Re:Only amateurs and idiots on The Other Pong · · Score: 0

    You can shove your nonsense ( and a paddle ) up your ass. I don't accept any 'commoner' name, created by the common folk.

  19. Re:Only amateurs and idiots on The Other Pong · · Score: -1, Troll

    But others may continue to say ping-pong

    And continue to be uneducated idiots if they do so. The game is not ping-pong, and they are not welcome in the sport if they cant even call it the right thing.

  20. Re:I don't get it on The Dash Is Now Anonymized In Ubuntu 13.10 · · Score: 1

    That's funny, i also have worked in that field and ours was hooked up.

    I also know that all the ones on the street corner are active and being record. Not long ago we used it to identify ( using drivers record images ) of some moron that was shooting people on the sidewalk during a rather large event one evening. ( wasn't even daylight )

    But if you want to think you know something and can 'dodge cameras', feel free.

  22. Re:I don't get it on The Dash Is Now Anonymized In Ubuntu 13.10 · · Score: 1

    when I go out in public, I'm anonymous

    You keep on believing that. And be sure to smile to the automated facial recognition system attached to that camera on the ( every ) street corner. ( and building, ATM, cash counter, police car, 2/3 of the people around you posting pictures on facebook..... )

  23. Re:No they didn't on Apple Starts Blocking Unauthorized Lightning Cables With iOS 7 · · Score: 1

    I have to disagree as i saw it with my own 2 eyes.

    1 - An A/V cable no longer worked. ( a jailbreak and buying an app off cydia fixed that )
    2 - A 'boombox' adapter thingie no longer charged, and it did before,
    3 - A friends car audio cable stopped working.

    I think it it was between iOS 3 to 4, but i could be wrong.

  24. Re:At what point on Apple Starts Blocking Unauthorized Lightning Cables With iOS 7 · · Score: 1

    When they have a monopoly.. Which they don't.

  25. Old style cables on Apple Starts Blocking Unauthorized Lightning Cables With iOS 7 · · Score: 1

    Apple did this to me on my old 3gs years ago. Cables worked fine one day, update, then they stop.

    They can kiss my butt. FCC should be involved.
