  1. Re:Reveal Codes on Gateway To Use Corel Over MS For Office Suite · · Score: 1

    Let's not forget right-margin-flush in WP. It's so simple but try doing it in MS Word.

  2. P2P should be made into a political weapon on Hearing on Hollywood Hacking Bill · · Score: 1
    It would be good if the File Sharing software had a feature that allowed users to lookup who their representatives were and let them know how they voted on legislation that affected the P2P technology. The software should provide a brief summary of the legislation and how it would hurt what they're currently doing.

    If politicians get the idea that millions of people who use such software will know if their representatives are screwing them, it could be deterrent.

    Maybe some sort of e-mail feature can be built in that allows you with the press of a button to send a message to your representative that you intend to vote against them in the next election if they vote to approve some legislation.

    People will most likely not act on their threat, but politicians won't necessarily know that.

  3. Re:Why would anyone want to stop this? on Passenger Profiling: CAPPS II · · Score: 1
    If the 9/11 hijackers tried to take control of a plane today, the rest of the passengers would take them down. (And, if they didn't the plane would be shot down. Not that it would do you any good, but still.)

    Your right. Things have gotten a lot more dangerous for hijackers since 911. They run the risk of being shot by air marshals and/or clobbered by passengers and flight attendants.

    I believe the point of the system is to not have to get to the point where you need passengers to take down hijackers or an F16 to shoot down planes. I believe the whole idea of the system is to make it more difficult for terrorists to get on airplanes or at least make it more difficult for terrorists to travel from place to place than it was before 911.

  4. Some movies can be improved on Clean Flicks' Preemptive Strike For the Right To Edit · · Score: 1

    There are lots movies that could've been better with proper editing. I'm not talking about necessarily taking out possibly offensive material, but editing to make the movie better.

    The Phantom Menace would be an example of a movie I think could have been a lot better with some editing. It would be nice if some the scenes were cut. It would have also be nice Jar Jar, battle droids and aliens were dubbed to make them less annoying.

    With video editing technology constantly improving, it might be possible for people to come up with something really interesting.

    I wouldn't want to see movies that are really good be edited, just the ones that had potential but weren't able to quit pull it off. It would also be interesting to see what people could come up with. Some might be really good while others might be pretty bad.

    It would be interesting if someone decided to combine scenes from Episode I and II of Star Wars into a single feature length movie by some heavy editing. The result might be pretty bad or it may not but it would be an interesting experiment.
