  1. Money doesn't just dissapear on Are Bad Economic Times Good for Free Software? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    People not spending money on commercial software doesn't mean that money just up and dissapears from the economy. Those people use that money for daily life necessities like food, utilities and transorrtation so the money goes back into the system but is taken throuhg a different industry.

  11. Re:It's ALWAYS about child pornography on Law Enforcement Still Wants Mandatory ISP Log Retention · · Score: 2

    >Why don't they just store data for child pornography sites?

    They don't want to. Its more profitable to keep the kiddie porn sites going. You bust a site and get one conviction you bust all the viewers and get a nice truck load of new prision stock for gov and privatelly owned prisons.

  12. Forget spam, viruses and scareware on Law Enforcement Still Wants Mandatory ISP Log Retention · · Score: 1

    when this law comes in it'll be way more profitable to set up backdoors and use other peoples computers to visit specially set up child porn sites so that the ISP keep the logs and then sends them a nice message that say they $50K or you get reported for visiting child porn site.

  13. Linux market on Drawing the Line Between Android and Linux · · Score: 2

    I don't understand why so many companies refuse to support linux. Yes the market is small comapred to Windows BUT its not that small and its a big niche market which lets you charge more for the software/hardware as most Linux users will undderstand that a company might have to sell at higher margings since the user base numbers are smaller. Mabe its the short term profit mantality that is causing this but wouldn't you as a company want to make customers for life?

    I'm just an average Linux user who has all computers in the house running Mint but I don't get into the software and hardware setup anymore yet I'm willing to pay a little more to have the software hardware compatabiliy in Linux even at 20% of whats available on windows.

  14. Re:If you are unsure and fear runabouts on Roundabout Revolution Sweeping US · · Score: 1

    I've seen a few downtown Vancouver and there are some in Abbotsford especially on MT Lehman road. I get lots of close calls on them as people don't seem be to able to judge car to car distance when driving between curved lines.

  15. If you are unsure and fear runabouts on Roundabout Revolution Sweeping US · · Score: 1

    you probably shouldn't be on the road as you are already a danger to others. Nothing worse then someone behind a wheel that is unrure of themselves and their surroundings.

  17. Re:Undid his just deserves. on Fired IT Worker Replaces CEO's Presentation With Porn · · Score: 1

    Yah nothing beats the business going to shit and the business owner who is raping the business bling for money and stock to pay his debts doesn't realise the firing his most important employee (to use the money he paid me for steal even more from the company) leads to at least 1/2 of the customers never coming back. Fuck yah it felt good. My phone was rining non stop for two weeks afterwards when customers found out I wasn't there. Eveyone one of them said the only reason they shopped there was because of me.

  19. I must be behind the times on Open Source Alternative To Dropbox? · · Score: 1

    People actually have enough time these days in their daily lives to fill up their phones memory/micro sd cards on every day usage? Or is this just people trying to look busy so others think they have somthing going on in their lives.
