  1. Re:I'm confused... on EFF Seeking Information of Legal Users of Megaupload · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A massive civil lawsuit that proved they were not fully DMCA compliant would had been sufficient.
    Surely they would had cleaned up their act if they were indeed found acting unlawful. What happend was completely unnecessary.

  2. I wish they would define legal. on EFF Seeking Information of Legal Users of Megaupload · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If I rip an album and upload it for my personal use later, then thats fair-use as long as I never share said link with anyone else.
    The mere presence of copyrighted material in their account doesn't suddenly mean the users were pirates.

  3. Meh.... on Sea Water Could Cause Uranium Pollution From Nuclear Fuel Rods · · Score: 1

    Why is it that pretty much all nuclear disasters were from stupid mistakes?
    I mean, whos bright idea was it to place the backup diesel gensets in the basement right next to the ocean?
    That obvious design flaw should had been fixed at least 20 years ago.

  4. 3 down.... on USPTO Declares Invalid Third of Three Critical Rambus Patents · · Score: 2

    3 down, many thousands to go.

  5. Re:How is this legal? on US Government Seeks Extradition of UK Student For File-Sharing · · Score: 1

    I suggest you Google "Oink" and "TVLinks" for previous UK cases that they failed to prosecute. Infact, TVLinks was no different than TVShack....

  6. Re:"autocd.com"? What about Feist vs, Rural Teleph on US Gov't Seizes 130+ More Domains In Crackdown · · Score: 1

    Obviously ICE is seizing first, asking questions later. (if at all)

  7. Re:Wide aspect ratios are an even bigger problem on Users Want Matte LCDs While Glossy Screens Dominate · · Score: 1

    I wish they applied the IPS screens to their "Pro" line of products, the MacBook Pro.... To me, the Macbook Pro is grossly overpriced because its main fault: that crappy TN panel it comes with. The iPad's IPS panel is miles better in comparison.

  8. Draconian laws on The Beginning of the End For Hadopi? · · Score: 1

    Whats with the public of France bending over like this with such draconian copyright laws?
    Its not fair at all, Sarkozy's just pussy whipped, his wife owns a record label so he passes all these one-sided
    laws just to please her. It shouldn't be allowed and the public doesn't even seem to give a damn.

  9. Should of refused to cooperate from the start. on British ISP Sky Broadband Cuts Off ACS:Law · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Do UK ISP's not have a set of balls to stand up for their customers? They were so against the Digital Economy Act, but when it comes to giving up their customer details to a shady law outfit that wants to extort them, thats apparently just fine.

  10. Re:Relax, NewEgg is a fine store on Some Newegg Customers Received Fake Intel Core i7s · · Score: 1

    I love my Magnetbox television too!

  11. Re:Nice. on Panasonic Begins To Lock Out 3d-Party Camera Batteries · · Score: 3, Informative

    Panasonic has already been doing this with their HDC-HS100 HD camcorders, I tried a 3rd party battery, it would power up with an error message about the battery then shut down.

  12. Re:no-win on Massive Canadian Class-Action Cellphone Suit Is Approved · · Score: 1

    Not only do you have to pay for "call display", you also have to pay extra for to see the "name" showing up on call display. Talk about insane.

  13. Re:Hahahaha, no. on Internal Emails of An RIAA Attack Dog Leaked · · Score: 5, Informative

    Their SSN's, home addresses, birthdates, wages and all are included in a spreadsheet attachment. They're screwed.

  14. Re:The future of Intel, with AMD following on The Future of Intel Processors · · Score: 1

    I guess thats why Intel cloned SVM and x86_64 huh?

  15. Re:amperage on S Korea & China Mandate Common Chargers, Data Cables · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A lot of motherboards power the USB through the +5VSB rail thus are unable to provide a lot of USB power over 500mA. Motherboards that come with 10 USB ports or more are powered by the main 5V rail, its rather trivial to find out you can get at least 2000mA out of one of them.

  16. Re:amperage on S Korea & China Mandate Common Chargers, Data Cables · · Score: 1

    A laptop is about 500mA, a typical decent motherboard on a desktop can deliver 2000mA at least. I know mine can.

  17. Re:amperage on S Korea & China Mandate Common Chargers, Data Cables · · Score: 1

    The average modern USB 2.0 port can provide upwards of 2000mA.

  18. Inevitable on Why the iPod is Losing its Cool · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well we are speaking the inevitable here. No fad ever lasts forever.

  19. Re:Next? on UK Terror Bust Caught With Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    They could of used Skype PC to PC sessions and still be undetected, but sssssh, we shouldn't be giving them any ideas. Thankfully these terrorists are technically illiterate.

  20. Next? on UK Terror Bust Caught With Wiretapping · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So what will happen when the terrorists all begin using strong SSL chat sessions and avoid unencrypted communications entirely?

    UT came out in 1999.

  22. Re:Thanks be to Allah on Nanotube Paint Blocks Cell Phones on Demand · · Score: 1

    In the past you guys all used 2 way radio based pagers for emergency responding. Switching over to celly based paging is your own damn fault.

  23. Re:People in movie theaters... on Nanotube Paint Blocks Cell Phones on Demand · · Score: 1

    Exactly, thats because they used pagers based on 2 way radio.

  24. Re:As a Canadian ... on Canada's CD Tax Out of Hand? · · Score: 1

    Unless you magically found some new compression algorithm that nobody has discovered yet, how can you put 500 mp3's of 5mb each on a 700mb CDR?

  25. Re:Unfair on Canada's CD Tax Out of Hand? · · Score: 1

    I think you're retarded bought and paid for rights are being more then compensated for with the millions being pulled from these levies. Your point is useless.
