  1. Re:Aww, poor tax evaders! on IRS Compels PayPal to Release Info · · Score: 1, Troll

    If the American government would actually reduce Military spending a little then I'm sure you Americans wouldn't have to make up a deficit like that.

    And interestingly, if they KNOW so much is missing, why haven't they got it back - they wouldn't need to go fishing, they would simply say "You DrEldarion, you haven't paid all your taxes, give us your money".
    The figures you quote sound like the *AA made up "lost revenue" figures.

  2. First read on IRS Compels PayPal to Release Info · · Score: 2, Insightful

    First glance, whats the problem - paypal must follow requests for the law, then I read it and realised its another fishing mission.
    They want paypal to give out the info of all US customers who use bank accounts in 30 taxhavens.

    I really hope paypal manage to prevent this from happening, it seems like somebody has let power go to their head.

  8. Re:Leave it to China on Chinese Telecom Company Launches 'RedBerry' · · Score: 5, Informative

    From one of the articles I read, the Redberry name is just a nickname for the "Uni Pushmail" software running on the phones.

    The first wave of Daxian CU-928 Pocket PC phones
    bundled with Uni PushMail software has started pouring into the market. Not
    to be outdone by the internationally renowned Blackberry, the Redberry, as
    Uni PushMail is nicknamed, flourishes in the Chinese telecom value-added
    service sector.

  16. Tough decisions on Spirit Rover Reaches Safety · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The science team has had to make some tough decisions about which observations to make and which to cut short as the rover hustled across the plains towards a northerly tilting slope. Squyres says Spirit had to leave the circular target dubbed Home Plate earlier than the science team would have liked. But he now says the outcrop at Low Ridge Haven "might be made of the same stuff".

    Yes, its made of rock.

    Now wheres the damn aliens we were promised.

  17. Re:Privacy on Why Is Data Mining Still A Frontier? · · Score: 1

    No, but it would be good to find out when they come in and what else they buy along with it.
    Like supermarkets now have fridges near the doors with sandwiches and drinks for the lunchtime folks, having a display which changes a couple of times a day (the whole display case moves, not item by item) could really improve throughput without blocking the store for the other regular customers.

    Or picking out the flows people take around the store (inverse the order the items are placed on the conveyor and you roughly get the order they were placed in the trolley, but requires a large sample set).

    Data mining your own data brings no privacy concerns, its when mega corps begin to bring together multiple company datasets that I start to see these kind of issues.
