  1. Re:Free Legal care! on Lawyer Is Big Winner In Webcamgate Settlement · · Score: 1

    The legal system "is already" publicly funded. . As citizen taxpayers elect we elect Representives, Senators who pass the laws. We pay them; Judges... we pay them, Public Defenders.... we pay them. Lobbiests.... they make us pay them using the above. What exactly has the congress done unto doctors?. Ask, Rand Paul.

    I'm a copyright novice and know very little about these type of things; But did they not leave the copyright notice refering to the correct copyright holder?,, mayby the two have something worked out, if they had left that out would that have been worse?

  6. Re:Mobile and Microsoft on Why Windows 7 "Slate" Tablets Won't Happen · · Score: 5, Informative

    I've been using a Hp tablet PC, windows 7 and OneNote (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office_2010). This seems to be a very good solution for me, I can use all my desktop data, anotate with the pen, and when not using the One note touch/pen interface I can swivel the screen around and use like a laptop (keyboard etc). I travel around alot and need to gather a bunch of "freeform" data, I can take some pictures, embed them into my documets, write a few notes next to them, send them off to various mail accounts, download some data from the net, and when I get back to the Orfice, connect up to the network and share the whole works whith a few co-workers. I don't really listen to a lot of music or watch movies with it, (although I did spend a week out in boondocks of Wisconsin and the netflix account came in handy) I guess you get what you need and leave it at that, often I think that most of the hype is created to sell advertising copy. When all is said and done, you figure out what you need to do, and then get the best fit.

  7. Could this be some kind of cleaver marketing ploy? on Punishing Security Breaches · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wonder if this was a way to let people know another one is on the way. The way the "Blogosphere" is intentionaly manipulated by corporation is obvious to me. This whole scenario seems unlikely to me.

  11. Re:Why do corporations have to be people? on Corporations Now Have a Right To "Personal Privacy" · · Score: 1

    Opponents of "corporate personhood" believe that large corporations as juristic persons have enjoyed certain constitutional rights intended for natural humans as the result of a misinterpretation of an 1886 Supreme Court Case, Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad

  16. Re:We'll see about that. on A Foolproof Way To End Bank Account Phishing? · · Score: 1

    Why don't the banks provide for two factor security?, i.e. Card reader and smart card and/or password

    Had one in Belgium with Fortis Bank, worked fine. The Idea that you will be able to guess what anyone of millions of people will do is kind of self defeating. In my opinion URLs are there to get you somewhere not get you something.

  17. Re:Sure I support the troops. on Bill Bans NSA Eavesdropping · · Score: 1

    The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.

  19. Re:Damage Control By Gates on Ballmer Speaks on His Solo Act · · Score: 1

    I think he got of bed one day and realized he had accomplished everything he wanted to do in the software buisness, and having got that far, was presented with the opportunity
    to meet many people from different walks of life, other people who are at the top of thier game and contributing in other fields.

    Maybe he said, hey software, OS, networking etc. is not everything, not an end in itself but a means to an end. I've got a nice wife, a kid I want to spend some quality time with, really all the money and things I want, Hey, I can do something else too. Maybe with the money I've made and the experiance I've gained, I can really make a change in the way things happen to people. Let's give it a go, let's start now.
