  1. Re:slippery slope much? on Bush Claims Mail Can Be Opened Without Warrant · · Score: 1

    Are you crazy? He's terrible at politics. Look at his current approval rating! The only reason he didn't take a huge dive earlier is because he was riding off of all the good stuff Clinton had done. Once Bush managed to kill all of that, everyone saw the mess he had created.

    No no! Don't question their dreams for speech recognition!

    I can TOTALLY picture myself in a crowded air port entering my vpn password using the amazing voice recognition they're touting.

  4. Re:So what? on New iPod Owner Onslaught Overwhelms iTunes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Maybe so, but this definitely shows that those rumors of apple's iTune sales being way down were total crap.

    Should we give her a gender test?

    Nah, the rot-26 takes the cake.

    It's just like rot-13, but twice as secure!

    It's all part of "web 2.0", hell, i bet they'd get a press release if they added a couple gradients to a few block elements on their page..

    Poor beta, think we should send her flowers?

    It's funny that you say that as a joke..

    I'm totally gonna do that.

    Apparently he doesn't understand that Return or Enter is the OSX equivalent of F2..

  12. Re:Copyright holder's blame on DRM 'Too Complicated' Says Gates · · Score: 1

    You're able to run OSX on a generic PC, the only reason you can't (easily) is because apple hasn't made generic drivers for them..

    You can say that's DRM, but it's more their lack of wanting you to use their products on other machines, they don't go out of their way by having special DRM chips in their hardware that ensure their OS can only be run on a mac..

    The real DRM is WGA and windows serial numbers, something OSX doesn't have.

    slippery slope?

    These are lawmakers, they speak another language, it's called 'legal precedence'.

    We should also ban images depicting murder.. and books.. and movies.. and talking about crime.. and thinking about crime.. and thinking.

  15. Re:Obvious.... on 'Leak' Test of 21 Personal Firewalls · · Score: 1

    Nope, that's different, your fists become weapons in that case.

    If you don't threaten to hit/punch someone with your fists, they're not weapons.

  16. Re:Obvious.... on 'Leak' Test of 21 Personal Firewalls · · Score: 1

    How can you be violent, or have the intent of being violent if you have no weapon to hurt anyone with?

    an empty gun is as dangerous as a stapler.

  17. Re:Obvious.... on 'Leak' Test of 21 Personal Firewalls · · Score: 1

    It might be urban legend, but i heard that a gun with no bullets cannot be considered a weapon in court, unless you threaten to hit someone with it, since technically, a gun without bullets can't hurt anyone..

    Not if the companies are employing black hat hackers to take down their competition.. (i worked shortly for such a company, quit out of disgust).

    No no no, people don't want to think about THOSE terrorists, Timothy McVey way really just a nice american pie type guy who just got mad. Muslims are bred and trained from birth for one thing; to hate and want to kill Americans. You simply can't compare the two..!

    How hard do you think it'd be for the government to get their hands on those PGP keys if they were stored on google's servers.. ?

    Google is a US company and should a court request those keys.. they'd give them.

    IMO, when they tax my ipods (i have two), that to me gives me the right to pirate music covered by the RIAA.
