  1. Replevin. on Should Apple Give Back Replaced Disks? · · Score: 1

    You could always sue for replevin if the hard disk is your property.

    Perfect, as long as I and my loved ones can. I pay for insurance myself, and as long as I go to a preferred provider, I pay a lot less (even when I pay for my deductible, sometimes I've gotten as much as a 75% write-off with BCBSoMI [non-profit insurer). For-profit insurance may produce different results.

  3. Re:Ahh yes, the "benefits" of tax fed governments. on Australia Plans to Censor the Internet · · Score: 2, Funny

    In the worst case scenario you can always vote from the rooftops. Oh wait, even airsoft is illegal in Australia. You and Britain can enjoy your police states, while in America corrupt politicians have nightmares of crazy libertarians voting with a .30-06.

  4. Re:Obligatory on Couple Busted For Shining Laser At Helicopter · · Score: 1

    I have read that there are 1000+ pages of sentencing guidelines that are mandatory for federal judges to follow, so you fail it. ps: IANAL, but IAALS.

  5. Putinist Russia on SixApart Sells LiveJournal to Russian Media Company · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Does this mean that any anti-Putin blogging will be noted and passed on to the "proper" authorities?

  6. Re:double entendre on Google Gives Up IP of Anonymous Blogger · · Score: 1

    Since when did corporate policies apply to corporations. Last I checked they only seemed to be applied when they felt it was to their benefit and it screwed the consumer.

  7. Vote from the rooftops on Hushmail Passing PGP Keys to the US Government · · Score: 1

    It would be a shame if their CEO happened to "disappear"...

  8. Re:Is anyone else amused... on Vuze Petitions FCC To Restrict Traffic Throttling · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The question is more along the lines of 'why should it be fine for them to mess with file downloads but not streaming video?'

    Ron Paul hasn't issued a statement?

  10. Pew pew. on 22 Companies Sued Over Wi-Fi Patents · · Score: 1

    I smell a waiver/estoppel argument in the making for equitable relief against Valve. No, IANAL.

    This is what happens when a developer becomes a distrubor. They slowly stop caring about their gamers and making the highest quality product, and start to think primarily of profits. They even rush to market games that are not finished. They then abandon their development. It was promised that dod:S would eventually include vehicle combat (which it doesn't years after it was released). TF2 lacks basic class limit cvars, which have been in pretty much all tf games, as well as all of valves' DoD offerings, and tf2 also lacks the old %h %l %i variables from tfc).

    Valve is getting complacent in its position. This needs to end.

    We can dream of that future.
