  1. This bodes ill on New IE Bug Hides Real Site Address · · Score: 5, Insightful

    for paypal where there are so many redirect scams.

  2. Now all they.. on Detoxing With Magnets for Fun and Profit · · Score: 5, Funny

    need is a car mounted version so I can plug in saturday night after a round at the bars. hmm mabee they could shunt the removed "products" directly to my carborator.. Profit !

  3. But who owns the info on Cash Value 1/10 of a Cent · · Score: 3, Interesting

    since databases are now copyrighted, if a company collects the info don't they now own it?

  4. Hmmm, why on Yahoo! Develops Anti-Spam Architecture · · Score: 1, Interesting

    would they want to cut off 90% of their own customers? Mabee they will sell a new "technology" to circumvent the block system to the spammers. not like nobodys ever done that before.

  5. Working for the government is easy.. on Interviewing with the NSA · · Score: -1, Troll

    just leave your copy of the constitution at the door when you start.

  6. So in other words.. on New Battlestar Galactica Premieres Monday · · Score: 0, Redundant

    this sent Battlestar Galactica. Its an entirely different animal, it is in fact so different that I suspect that the only reason its title is BSG is to get the built in audience and that It could have been titled practically anything like "chicks in space" or "attack of the robot chicks"

  7. outstanding on Google AdWords And Ethics Issues · · Score: 1

    if google is taking the responsiblity to keep a huge number of Americans from veiwing bad ads dosent that now not mean that they are taking responsiblity for bad advertisers that they don't censor? Sounds like one stop liability lawsuits to me.

  8. The most amazing thing is.. on Malaysian Police Not Roping Longhorn Rustlers · · Score: 0, Troll

    that anyone would put that crap on their system anyway. geez youd need a beowulf of 3 gig'ers just to get it to boot.

  9. Re:Quality over quantity on Anti-static Polymer Stores Data, Too · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Quantity has a quality all it's own. In addition since most consumer electronics are made of plastic perhaps the case itself could be the storage medium for low end electronics. Possibly instead of cds companys could release music in the form of a one peice storage/player with headphones (can't pirate digitally if you can't access the data, although there would still be an analog hole) and since its solid state and plastic you could implant with an radio frequency tag under the skin.

  10. What about scsi !! on L.A. County Bans Use Of "Master/Slave" Term · · Score: 1

    I take personal offense at anyone using the term "scsi" it sounds to much like scuzzie and um well I havent taken a shower in awile and um...

  11. Of course on WVG : The New Scalable Vector Graphics · · Score: 5, Interesting

    the real question will be, will it be copyrighted so that only IE / MS can use documents created with it like they are doing with the new word standard.

  12. Thats why.. on Web Pages Are Weak Links in the Chain of Knowledge · · Score: 1

    I've started to keep archivied copies of webpages instead of links, the next time you want it it's gone. Unfortunatly you can't share them like links.

  13. So combine.... on Synthesized Singers · · Score: 5, Funny

    this with the story "Decoding the Algorithm for Pop Music" and a synthetic DJ and who needs the radio anymore? Throw in a few digital actors and you can have your very own 24 hour copyright free mtv! A whole new meaning to "homebrew music" And what better way to bring down the RIAA than to replace them with software its not like its going to be any more original.

  14. .coms on MP3.com's Content to Be Destroyed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    are transitory things, existing at the whims of people or worse corporations. And like the "good for one year current hard drives" are best not to be relied upon for serious cultural content. In this case the "commons" is more like a window pane written on with a cake of soap in a rainstorm.

  15. Re:Hmm. on Sweet Revenge On Nigerian Scammers · · Score: 1

    How about a 1 way ticket to North Korea...

  16. Perception on JBoss Offers Lawsuit Indemnification · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's just about customer perception, they know sco dosent have a case so why not offer it, no loss for them and only positive benifits.

  17. Same here now on Singapore Computer Crime Laws OK Preemptive Arrest · · Score: 0

    If law enforcment can show "intent" ie youve got motive and materials then they can prove "conspiracy to commit" which usally will get you a worse prison term than actually committing a crime.

  18. Re:Scared now on First Reproducing Artificial Virus Created · · Score: 0

    Trust me viri are alive, its just that we are bowls of soup for them.

  19. My letter to senators, what did you write? on Jail Time for Movie Swappers · · Score: 0

    I would like to register my opposition to a bill called the ?Artists' Rights and Theft Prevention Act?. The bill was introduced by John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif and co sponsored by Sens. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. today November 13. It is my understanding that this ?Bill? would cause anyone of the 60 million Americans who now trade files online to be labeled as Felons subject to $250,000 fines and or 3 years in jail. This is patently unacceptable, copyright violation is a civil matter not a federal criminal matter and simply outside the jurisdiction of the federal government. Also the movie corporations (which are in general non US entities), and the media outlets that they own continually call filetrading ?piracy? or ?theft? file trading is neither, it is violation of copyright which is a civil matter not a criminal matter. In addition this Bill targets those who have the files on their systems not those who actually do the ?copying? the people downloading the files so by just having a file on your computer you would be labeled a felon. It is my opinion that the movie companies (thru their heavily lobbied representatives) have decided on this approach of going after people that have the files on their systems because that technically they can?t locate the people actually doing the copying, the downloaders. Also I am very concerned that this bill throws away the entire concept of due process, persons who even have the name of a movie in part of a filename (which could be a review or a movie time listing) would automatically be assumed to be guilty of filetrading copyrighted material (previously a civil offense) by this proposed law. The supposed copyright holder doesn't even need to download the file in question to accuse the offerer of a violation. It is ?laws? like this that call into question our elected officials commitment to the constitution and suggest that the only thing that matters is who gave them the most money ie. $264,566 (as per opensecrets.com) to Senator Feinstein.

  20. Hard for SCO on IBM Subpoenas SCO Investors, Analysts · · Score: 0

  21. Mirror? on Microsoft in the Mirror · · Score: 2, Funny

    I thought that things like microsoft don't have a reflection ?

  22. Quick ! Quick ! on Security FUD On Linux · · Score: 0

    Give that homeless person $5.00 and tell them to say "microsoft is WONDERFULL!" commissioned study, bah all that means is that they paid somebody to say something.

  23. Popups? on FTC Shuts Down Pop-Up Extortion Firm · · Score: 0

    What are these popups of which you speak? Oh yeah that's right that's what non opera user's get. haha that's funny.

  24. Screener on FCC Adopts Broadcast Flag Scheme · · Score: 0
