  1. Re:Okay, but... on California Protects Black-Box Data Privacy · · Score: 1

    Your dealer could use the info in device for marketing reasons. Most cars store last service, they could use that marketing, and if the car manufactors decided to store more info. There is no law saying that the dealer could also use this info and sell it to other people. Thats why this law was needed.

  2. In other news on China Joins EU in Galileo Satellite Venture · · Score: 1

    China and the EU have decided to come up with a new internet. They have come to the agreement that they should not rely on US military technology as the internet once was.

  3. Re:Prison should be reserved for violent criminals on UK Makes Spamming a Fineable Offense · · Score: 1

    Non violent criminals should be forced to do community service, and actually give something back to the community. Nothing like having a bunch spammers picking up garbage along the freeway.

    Umm Xbox live failing.. How stupid are you? It launched a year ago with only 4 games, now its has 10 games and they all suck or have a pc equal. And they still managed to get 500,000 people. Umm thats not a failure. And halo 2 is around the corner.

    Selling something that is free. Thats what I call marketing.

  5. What happened? on Sun Tries Subscription Software Pricing · · Score: 3, Funny

    This is slashdot, people are supposed to mod when people say anything about charging for software. Everything should be free, we'll all suppose make our living doing support for the software.

    Umm.. IE doesn't show their search page if you mistype a url and it never has. Seriously were do people come up with all this shit?

    Here's what it shows if you type in http://www.noexistantdomain.com.

    Cannot find server or DNS Error
    Internet Explorer

    And its been that way since it came out.

  7. Umm sobig isn't an outlook worm. on Lousy E-mail Filters Complicating Outlook Worms · · Score: 1

    People need to stop calling sobig an outlook worm, it doesn't use outlook. It has its own smtp server, it scans your harddrive for emails addresses. Its a windows worm, and if you read the history on it. It spread via usenet first.

  8. Re:How about a real email client or real rules? on Lousy E-mail Filters Complicating Outlook Worms · · Score: 1
    How about getting an email client that isn't known for it's ability to spread received infected email without the user having to even open the email?

    Sobig has nothing to do what email client your running, its a trojan horse. An executable with its own smtp server that scans your computer for email addresses and emails its selfout through its own smtp server. Outlook xp by default blocks executables from attachment, but how long till new viruses start zipping their attachments.

    The problem here is the user. Users need to stop running every damn program they see.

  11. Re:My Bad on Why VoIP Makes Telecom Regulations Irrelevant · · Score: 1

    My point is that new taxes have to be thought up of instead of trying to shove a new technology like voip into the old style taxes. Obviously if electric cars become dominant a new style tax should be imposed instead of trying to fit them in under the gasoline tax.

    Gas tax is a usage tax to pay for the roads.

  13. Voip and legacy on Why VoIP Makes Telecom Regulations Irrelevant · · Score: 1

    Charging voip carriers the same tax scheme is like charging electric car owners extra money because they don't pay gas tax.

  14. Re:Reasons I feel voip is not sliced bread on Why VoIP Makes Telecom Regulations Irrelevant · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Umm. Voip doesn't have to travel over the internet. Almost all the big voip carriers carry their traffic over their own fiber lines. Putting voice traffic on the internet is not carrier grade solution, since voip traffic is really finiky about latency. VOIP is voice over IP not voice over internet.

  15. Re:E-democracy *should mean* direct voting on Public Net-work · · Score: 1

    Umm the constitution gave us, the citzens, very little rights. Notice how most of our constitutional rights are defined in admendments and not in it's original articles.

  16. Re:why not direct democracy on Public Net-work · · Score: 1
    Here's one example.

    Women wouldn't be able to vote. Women's suffrage was not a popular idea in the general's public eye. It would have never became an admendment if it was voted on(including if women voted).

    And if the general public voted on taxes, the social and economical majority would be the least taxed with all minority social and economic groups being taxed the highest.

    Mob rule doesn't work. Its too easily influenced, and our founding fathers knew this.

  17. Re:Amazing is an innapropriate adjective on ISP Recovers in 72 Hours After Leveling by Tornado · · Score: 1
    Umm.. You never hung around many software programmers have you? When I went to college, it was ongoing joke the teachers would make about MIS majors that were forced to take CS150 Basic C(well until they protested enough saying it was too and got the dean to remove it and replaced it with MCSE classes). Those were the days, taking $50 from future IS managers to do their CS homework.

    Respect is earned and not given. And I respect the engineer the who built and designed the building, and not the janitor who cleans it up.

    Speaking of Outlook and anguish: caseywest.. How does sobig relate too outlook? Its doesn't use outlook, nor does it exploit it. Its trojan horse and it first spread via usenet. It has its own built in smtp server and scans your harddrive for email addresses.

    With the game Black and White that I own, the cd copy protection gave my computer so much problems and the only solution the publisher gave me was to install a new cdrom, so I was forced to install the cd crack to actually play the game.

    Here's the problem. You gotp buy a cell phone. You compare carriers and they all have $29.95 service. But its not really $29.95, now you gotta add up all their levies. See where the problem comes in? These government allowed levies allow carriers to false advertise their monthly price.
