  1. False Facts on Australian Judge Rules Facts Cannot Be Copyrighted · · Score: 1

    Many databases contain spurious entries designed to detect duplication. An extra Mr. Smith with a specific phone number helps the copyright owner detect people skimming the data. I've been told they do this with maps/GPS data. Explaining where that extra entry came from may be a little difficult.

  2. Re:Counterproductive on UK Government To Monitor All Internet Use · · Score: 1

    Great Britain : England, Scotland, Wales ..... does Nth Ireland count ? damn thats 4 S

  3. Wow a entire company dedicated to porn on How To, When You Have To Encrypt Absolutely Everything? · · Score: 1

    Or is there another use for encryption ?

  4. how big is your hard disk on Tips For Taking Your Laptop Into and Out of the US? · · Score: 1

    With a reasonably modern laptop, you have 100GB+ of storage space, TrueCrypt can pose as any file type. Even if they check ever file 1Gb or over thats still 100 files that would require checking. Somehow unless your pictures are in "My Documents/My Pictures/Porn" I doubt that an custom agent had the time.

  5. No Driver updates on The Best Gaming Laptop Money Can Buy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The biggest problem I have with laptops it the lack of driver updates.
    My laptop has a nVidia graphics card, but is unsupported by nVidia.
    The drivers need to be updated by the manufacturer and I cannot use the universal
    driver. My old laptop with Geforce 2, hasnt had a driver update since 2002.

  6. The problem on Industry Folks Talk Underrated Games · · Score: 2

    the problem there are may underrated game.
    I just need a online database so I can find people with similar likes/dislikes, chances are if they share my optinion of X, Y and Z, maybe I will look at their fav.
    Shiny (Sacrifice), Planet Moon (Giants), Lionhead/Bullfrog(Magic Carpet/B&W) do some good stuff, but like any developer they can often lay an egg.
    Not being underrated is a matter of timing, just like a movie release.

  7. What are we paying for on Sony's EULA Worse Than Its Rootkit? · · Score: 1

    The $10+ we pay for a CD isn't for the media cost. The cost of a mass produced CD is below $1. We are paying for the right to listen to the music. The problem is that the physical CD is seen as the embodyment of this right, If the physical CD is taken we can't prove we have a right to play the music. Now if the thief was charged with the violation, that would be justice. If we payed for the vinal, what can't we just pay a media cost for the upgrade to CD, and if the CD gets scratch, can't we just pay for media replacement

  8. Re:My Prediction on Sony and Toshiba Give Up On Unified DVD Format · · Score: 1

  9. Re:Microsoft responsibility? on Microsoft To Provide IE Patches for Windows XP Only · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So in a serious enough bug/security risk is discovered in a product and the developers aren't prepared to fix it, I can stop using it and get my money back ?
