    These are the same people that think the entire Internet has crashed when they get a 404 error message in IE.

  5. Re:Cue the climate change deniers ... on Polar Vortex Sends Life-Threatening Freeze To US · · Score: 1

    Global warming means there is more energy around. Energy which can move cold air to areas where it doesn't belong. The extra energy provided by global warming is right now moving huge amounts of freezing air from the polar region where it belongs, to the USA where it doesn't belong.

    The cold weather we're getting now is a bit more on par with what I remember as a child growing up in Michigan.

    Borderlands game play to me.

  8. Re:As a user on FTC Drops the Hammer On Maker of Location-Sharing Flashlight App · · Score: 1

    When you installed it, didn't you look at the list of what it has access to? If I saw it wanting to get my location I would have stopped right there and not installed it. No flashlight app needs to know my location to work.

  10. Re:Still sucks on Copyright Takedown Requests to Google Doubled In 2013 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Every time a copyright claim is made against a Youtube account and it turns out to be false, the company that made the claim needs to be punished in some way such as a fine. Maybe Google can send them bills for every false claim. This could force them to make sure the copyright claim they made are legit.

    Either way, something needs to be done to stop them from claiming anything and everything right off the bat.

  11. Re:I used to love Spamhaus on Spamhaus Calls for Fining Operators of Insecure Servers · · Score: 3, Informative

    This is exactly what I ran into. My company got a new block of IP's and several IP's within that was on their block list. I could never get through to them thus never got the IP's removed.

    I stopped using their blacklist years ago because their service is unreliable. They seem to have this "We're better than you" mentality.

    Bidding ended decades ago. It's all about who buys what politician the most fancy vacation getaways.

    My guess is they are using hacked Asterisk servers. My servers get hit on a daily bases from all sorta of IPs, most from China er I mean East Asia.

  14. My question is.. on Google Is Testing a Program That Tracks Your Purchases In the Real World · · Score: 1

    When will I start getting paid for allowing companies to use my data? I would settle for some cash or even a free device or two. *cough* Google Glass.

  16. Re:Taiwan does it too on Why Internet Explorer Still Dominates South Korea. · · Score: 1

    That sounds even more insecure. Some malware that copies the read contents of the card and sends it off to some database. A different type of card skimming.

    Exactly. This law will be enforced depending on what side of the bed the police wake up on that day.

  18. Re:Pardon me, but... on Apple Blocks Lawrence Lessig's Comment On iOS 7 Wi-Fi Glitch · · Score: 2

    There is no way I can recommend an iPhone to anyone. Sure, they look cool and work (mostly), but the nagging and Big Brother nonsense just doesn't make them worth the effort.

    Exactly why I won't ever buy another one or recommend them. You hand over lots of $$, they hand you a device and say, "Have fun with 'our' device and remember, you can only do what we allow you do with it. If we don't approve of it then you can't do it."

    In other words, you never own the device. Apple isn't big brother, Apple is mommy and daddy that have your, er I mean their device locked down.

  22. Re:So... WoW is a good game how ? on Blizzard Wins Legal Battle Against WoW Bot Company · · Score: 1

    In fact: Even build some level of botting in you game, so that the player get less annoyed by the most boring part, and have your game designed around the higher level task where player find actual fun and challenge.

    People don't bot because they find some part of the game boring, it's hacked accounts running bots to rack up more in-game money. Even Eve Online has bots and it's one of the most complex MMO's I've ever seen.

    One of the best ways to combat bots is to fix exploits they use to get around the world. Almost all bots use some sort of teleport method to get around. WoW bots have been doing this forever. I don't understand why Blizzard can't fix teleporting. It's happening as we speak in Final Fantasy 14. Bots teleporting from mob to mob killing them to sell dropped items on the market.

    More like Apple will file a patent suit and claim Samsung stole it from them thus getting an import ban. We all know how those always work out in Apple's favor.
