    Most internet fraud happens in the US and the Eastern European countries. Nigerian Scammers account for such a small percentage of overall web fraud.

  2. Why shutdown? on EGM Magazine Shutting Down · · Score: 0

    They still have thousands of subscribers, and many have left because of the internet. Why not convert EGM to an online only magazine?

  4. Prices on NSI Registers Every Domain Checked · · Score: 0

    Networksolutions can't stay competitive with godaddy and every other registrar, so rather than reducing prices they are holding domains hostage
    1 year domain reg with godaddy = $9.99
    1 year domain reg with network solutions = $34.99

  5. Re:These Videos Cost Youtube Money on YouTube Video Stats, Sharing, and 2007 Re-Mixed · · Score: 0

  8. Re:what this should read as on Ohio University Leads U.S. Colleges in File Sharing · · Score: 0

    Where and how is this data being compiled. I don't know of too many dmca agents that would publicly release such info. 10-15 also doesn't seem that large a number. I am sure there are universitys get triple that number on a daily basis.

  10. Re:The police are not there to protect the citizen on Couple Who Catch Cop Speeding Could Face Charges · · Score: 0

    So he can regulary go above the speed limit in non-emergency situations and not have to face any consequences? Kind of like having a job at Mcdonalds and getting free fries... The only difference is you can kill someone with french fries.

  11. Re:Dogma shoots the US in the foot...again on Cheap, Safe, Patentless Cancer Drug Discovered · · Score: 0

    I was watching this movie once where patients needing advanced treatment needed to come to the US, because the facilities in canada were outdated. I think for those with earning power and good insurance plans, the U.S medical system is far better than anything found in canada. Does that mean that its the best overall system, probably not, but thats another argument.

  12. boom on RIAA Arrests Pro Artist for Making Mixtapes · · Score: 0

    Interesting tidbit, I would advise people who don't understand how the hiphop industry works to do some research before siding with the riaa on this one. " The raid on the Castleberry Hill office and the arrests of the two members of the Aphiliates DJ crew, has come as a big surprise to many in the music industry, particularly since Drama works closely with record labels, even recently partnering with Asylum Records on his label the Aphiliates Music Group. "I know for a fact that major label record companies pay DJ's like Drama to put out mixtapes," one DJ, who asked to be quoted anonymously, told SOHH. "It's always been an unspoken thing. But since this is happening, it will be brought out to the light - so the end result may be positive for mixtape DJ's everywhere." sohh.com

  19. New form of marketing on PS3 Lines Already Forming In America · · Score: 0

    What if sony paid these people to be in line 9 days in advance. The publicity they are generating from this event would cost them millions to reproduce through other venues.

  21. Hollywood on Space Telescope Catches Monster Flare · · Score: 0

    "If the Sun were ever to produce such an outburst, it would almost certainly cause a mass extinction on Earth."

    This sounds like a great premise for a hollywood sci-fi epic.

  22. MKT 101 on Sony's Karakker On Turning Around PS3 Buzz · · Score: 0

    Todays lesson: Turning a negative into a positive


    PS3: 'Frankly, how I view it is I don't care if you're great at Madden if I'm playing you in Resistance. Because that doesn't tell me you're that much better in Resistance. An overall score doesn't really tell me much, it tells me you've spent a lot of time online, it tells me you spend a lot of time playing games, but it doesn't tell me how good you are at a particular game.'" A+

  23. Question? What about catalog shopping on Should Online Stores Be Subject To ADA? · · Score: 0

    Back in the day, Sears used to do major business using mail order and catalogs...Are catalog print magazines required to print braille copies on store catalogs? Internet stores are basically interactive catalogs.

  24. Re:Just goes to show you... on YouTube Finds Signing Rights Deals Frustrating · · Score: 0

    Youtube hasn't even begun to see its true potential/value yet... the founders may have made a handsome profit, but i think google will have the last laugh, write it down.

  25. Re:Cheap webhosting for a 12million dollar busines on Utube Sues YouTube · · Score: 0

    What happens if utube is featured in a news story? or they receive publicity through some other venue? Are they ok hosting with a web provider that becomes unresponsive? I am sorry, but if i ran a 12 million dollar business, and my customer base depended on my website for business transactions, I would invest in a web host designed to handle such a task. That site may be responsible for millions of dollars in yearly revenue, and they settled for a $19.99 type service, that is probably running apache on a couple of overclocked celeron boxes. lolz

    I wonder what type of redundancy power/bandwidth etc thier host offers (i wonder if they even know). I have been with a couple of shit hosts, so i know reliability can be a huge issue.

    How much do you want to bet utube will be, or is currently revising their hosting options. Good businesses can forecast these type of problems.
