    To strike it, Obama voted for it, Clinton did not vote, McCain against it.

    This is getting confusing. I can understand thousands of lines of code of complex algorithms, but ask me about GPL and I'm lost.

  10. Re:Don't they have anything better to do? on Facebook Photos Land Eden Prairie Kids in Trouble · · Score: 1

    A picture of a somebody drinking alcohol is NOT the same as somebody drinking alcohol, just as somebody drinking. Proving the contents of the bottle is the biggest problem which the school would fail miserably. Next, let's say this offense took place three years ago or before the student was under contract then proving the time of the offense could be questioned. Also, there is always a possibility that digital pictures are doctored which in that case may not be the accused at all. The point is there is very evidence in a criminal conviction. So what the school is doing, is judging without clear and indisputable evidence.

  12. Re:violating your promise/contract on Schneier Says 'Steal this Wi-Fi' · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Why can't my neighbor and I can pool our money and resources together and have a shared Internet connection? I guess the ISP can make an argument saying that I bought the connection for 100 bucks, but sold the service to my neighbor for 50 bucks. But that doesn't mean I can't buy an Internet connection for 100 dollars, and give it to my neighbor for free and my neighbor mows my lawn? If I can't, can I give wifi to family members or guests? Then what is a family member or guest?

    Again it is very hard to say one only computer because what constitutes a computer? Maybe my desktop, laptop, printer, game console, NAS, a wireless router, a dumb terminal connected through a server?

  13. UI Class Book on GUI Design Book Recommendations? · · Score: 1

    Designing from Both Sides of the Screen: How Designers and Engineers Can Collaborate to Build Cooperative Technology, by Ellen Isaacs and Alan Walendowski.

  19. Re:We'll never know on Google Using Pre-Katrina Imagery on Google Maps · · Score: 1

    I think Google is doing the same thing Microsoft Live and Yahoo maps are doing. Live shows us a black and white map where the streets of New Orleans look like they aren't flooded. Same with Yahoo, and I suppose a lot of the aerial view mapping sites aren't real-time satellite images. So why is Congress picking on Google? Doesn't the government have spy satellites pointed at every American city that can provide them with this information?
