  1. Re:How is this any different? on Chicago Pondering Huge Camera Network · · Score: 1

    As a tourist, I hope you have BIG signs letting me know that in your country you have such camera systems. Put it in your travel brochures too. Because in MY country, we have different expectations in privacy.

  2. Re:Give him a blindfold and cigarette, hand me a w on German Teen Charged with Creating Sasser · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What if I build your next house, leave the front door wide open (rather, the door cannot close even after you move in) and put up a billboard (that cannot be removed) that says "this door is not locked"?

    Most humans know not to throw blame fully on one side all the time.

  3. depends on Employees Rights in an Emergency? · · Score: 1

    on the strength of the storm/etc
    there should be explicit laws about that in your area.

  4. Re:"minor, unrecognisable snippets of music" banne on Court Rules Against Unlicensed Sampling · · Score: 1

    If its minor and unrecognisable, wouldnt it match millions of songs?

  5. Re:Uhh... on 10Gbit to the Home by 2010 · · Score: 1

    my internet is ALREADY faster than my HD.
    24mbit/s
    maybe its just my sony hd, it dies at about 700kb/s

  6. 1gb/s? on Movie Playback From 1TB Holographic Disc · · Score: 1

    Why are these things getting faster than my hard disk? Hell, they:re offering 100mb ADSL here now. I don:t think my HD can write at 100mb.

    Whats going on??!

  7. Re:Not to put a dampner on things... on Movie Playback From 1TB Holographic Disc · · Score: 1

    I thought when you cut a hologram into bits each bit contains the WHOLE of the original.

  8. It it's sony on 'Cut and Paste' Is Out, 'Pick and Drop' Is In · · Score: 1

    Then it will only work with sony devices. What's the point?

  9. Re:I hope they fix the slow loading issue ! on Mozilla 1.7, Firefox 0.9 Release Candidates Out · · Score: 1

    with an army of programmers eagerly slapping users for complaining about a product they don't pay for, I would like to ask why no one had even left the program running for long enough to see this problem.

  10. Simple on Recording Industry Hopes To Hinder CD Burning · · Score: 1

    Why not just stop releasing on CD, which is infinitely reproducible with no ill effects? Instead, go back to magnetic tape. Gee, even without copying, they will degrade after a few years (if you use the cheap shit). Hell, even 'honest' users will buy multiple copies!!

    Can I patent this business model/process?

  11. Re:That isn't his complaint. on Online Plagiarist Sues University · · Score: 1

    Isn't it in the orientation handbook that cheating is bad?
    Don't they teach that at primary/high school? He really should sue his 1st grade teacher instead.
    Or his mum.

  12. Re:Carry a gun on The Urban Geek As A Mugger Magnet? · · Score: 1

    For us in non-crazy-gun-land, what is self defense ammunition?

  13. yes on Circuit Boards + Soldering Iron == Terrorist? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    you have the right to ask for a warrant, and we will come back using some national security law and turn your house inside out.

    Or you can just let us in now voluntarily without a warrant.

    Doesn't that sort of remove the point of having a system of needing warrants?

  14. Re:But so much survived on Dinosaurs Died Within Hours of Asteroid Impact, says New Study · · Score: 1

    /Not too mention that the fossil records for Dinosaurs don't stop on 1 day./

    How do YOU know that? AFAIK we cant date fossils down to 1 day!

  15. Re:Very reasonable on WB Using Game Reviews To Calculate Royalties · · Score: 0, Redundant

    maybe i should start a review site then.

  16. Re:Not better or worse, different on Can Star Wars Episode III Be Saved? · · Score: 1

    Yes. SW has always been made for 12 year olds to love. To do so, he added political complexities to the prequels.
    Yes, it all makes sense now.

    What character development? You don't call Anakin's thing character development do you?

    My view:
    SW has always been made to be entertaining.
    The new movies do not accomplish this.

  17. Re:ROWAN v. U. S. POST OFFICE DEPT on Accused Spammer to Debate SpamCop Founder · · Score: 0

    Interesting. Can I stop religious mailouts with this too? One can only dream.

  18. Re:In related news... on Safe and Insecure? · · Score: 1

    Yeh, but how many others can we expect to take that much care setting up systems?

  19. who owns the Moon on Personalized Moon Crash · · Score: 0, Troll

    why is it that the average person cannot even visit the place yet, and already some stupid company decides they have the right to start destroying it? I guess the stupid Americans want to claim they own the moon now

  20. Erm on CE Risks from Argentina's Drop to 209V? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't devices just draw more current to run, or run less efficiently?

  21. a US release on Namco's Bizarre Object Conglomeration Game Rated · · Score: 2, Funny

    is not advised. The people are likely to copycat the game and stick things like pins and other sharp objects into themselves.

    Oh wait...

  22. Re:Idea? on PhatBot Trojan Spreading Rapidly On Windows PCs · · Score: 1

    What if virii could somehow run in read-only memory space, which would have a physical barrier so that no anti-virus, firewalls, and other critical software could alter this space?

  23. Oh no? on Top Web Businesses Oppose Utah Spyware Law · · Score: 1

    the parties warned that the bill could impair the delivery of local, targeted ads!

    Can't they come up with something more significant? Oh no! my ads aren't targeted! quick format the HD!

  24. Re:Mechanics for the 21st century on Plumber, Electrician... Digitician? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    computer techs don't pull shit. they just don't know shit. 'your modem is flaking because you use Win98. Here, buy this copy of WinXP and it may help'
    ok, they occasionally pull shit too.

  25. Re:Not Microsoft on Is Windows Worth $45? · · Score: 1

    But the taiwan drivers worked fine, see. Then after MS made it 'official', Logitech had a universal driver out within a month. That worked fine too, see. I used it for 3yrs with no problems at all.

    Maybe MS should buy Logitech and find out how to do it properly and 5yrs ago?
