  1. Re:Free speech? Hardly on UK Pressures the US To Takedown Extremist Videos · · Score: 1

    you must watch more hours of fox news each day than you have IQ points.

  2. Re:Good way to get your laptop attacked on USB 'Dead Drops' · · Score: 1

    What if it's a hostile device? If any driver for any device has a vulnerability a hostile USB can identify itself as that device then pwn you. Works on linux too. Can even identify itself as a hub with several devices to target different operating systems with one unit

  3. Re:Because the laser would be all burninaty on UAV Helicopter Flies 12 Hours Charged By Laser · · Score: 1

    1)sunlight is non-coherant
    2) 5 mw = .005 W
    3) 1W is 200x the limit for a "safe" laser beam, so you need at least 200x the surface area you listed
    4) even .1W is 20x the safe limit, and is only reduced to that after the initial exposure of 200x, at which point the damage is already done.

  4. Re:What is the point? on New York Judge Rules 6-Year-Old Can Be Sued · · Score: 1

    The Eggshell Skull rule clearly holds that you are liable for the harm caused by your negligence even if the harm is unusually high because your victim was vulnerable.

    the suit is really going to be against the parents for failing to control their brat. I have no problem with this.

  5. Re:plagiarism differs in science vs. English Lit. on Software Finds Plagiarism In Research · · Score: 1

    well it's better to use constants than magic numbers anyways, though you should use a more descriptive name than p

  6. Re:Time for a Constitutional Amendment on US Supreme Court Expected Political Ad Transparency · · Score: 1

    reform corporate law instead, rather than restrict speech, restrict a corporation's ability to hand out money for political ads, require 100% shareholder approval to spend money on politics or lobbying and require a separate vote for each expenditure.

  7. Re:Pork for the "red states". on Amazon Prevails In State Sales Tax Dispute, Thus Far · · Score: 2, Informative
  8. Re:Aw. on DOS Emulator In and Out of App Store · · Score: 2, Informative

    get a blackberry, they don't restrict developers and encourage you to integrate your app with the standard blackberry apps and UI with their "super apps" initiative.

    oh and the signing keys required to access sensitive API's costs 20 bucks, one time per developer.

  9. Re:Interpreted Code Is Not Allowed on DOS Emulator In and Out of App Store · · Score: 1

    if the interpreter is entirely internal i think it is allowed, but anything that interprets input is a no-no

    the purpose of the rule is to keep the user from freely executing their own code or code obtained from another source without Emporer Steve's blessing

  10. Re:As long as it's Adsl I don't want it on Closing In On 1Gbps Using DSL · · Score: 4, Insightful

    most cable connections are asymmetric too, and my experience has been that around here the warez monkeys love their cable modems, so i get consistently better gaming latency out of my 1.5 / .75 ADSL than my brother gets at my parent's house on a 20 something / whatever cable connection. sure he can download a game in the time it takes to microwave some dinner, but online play is worse, and less predictable. i am within 10ms of the same latencies every day

  11. Re:Now the real test starts on Looks Like the End of the Line For LimeWire · · Score: 1

    so then i assume the record companies will update their tax information to reflect the additional half a billion in income each month?

  12. Re:just miss out the occasional numbers on How Allies Used Math Against German Tanks · · Score: 1

    you internal control would know which seriels were voided because the part was damaged, in GP's example, the seriels would be assigned to the engine and all other parts would have their serial derived from the engine serial

  13. Re:Any safer and it'd be the death penalty on Riskiest Web Domains To Visit · · Score: 1

    certainly cuts down on the "but it wasn't my fault" crowd.

    host your website off a windows machine with your webserver running as admin and it IS your fault that you got hacked.

    if computer owners were held liable for negligence when their machine participates in DDOS then maybe people would take computer and information security seriously

  14. Re:Explanation? on Voting Machines Selecting Default Candidates · · Score: 1

    sounds like it's not a "default" per se, i bet something isn't being cleared from the register after selection so the next menu has a persistence of touch location.

    shitty embedded UI programming,

    i would guess that rather than being even driven the UI cycles through an input loop that looks like an old basic getkey x loop, (except gettouch x,y) and fails to clear x and y after selecting a language and proceeding to the voting menu

  15. Re:Jailbreaking? on Xbox 360 Jailbreaker May Need Real Jailbreak · · Score: 1

    don't forget the tendancy of the xbox to scratch the hell out of discs sometimes

  16. Re:The law is weird....you know this. on Xbox 360 Jailbreaker May Need Real Jailbreak · · Score: 1

    dismissed is better than not guilty, dismissed means the judge determined that it wasn't even appropriate to put the question of your guilt to a jury.

  17. Re:California Taxes on Why Silicon Valley Won't Be the Green Car Detroit · · Score: 1

    just make sure to stock up on guns, ammo, flares, food, water, and gas before they shut down welfare and it'll be like the watts riots in every city of the nation.

  18. Re:Headline Is So Very Wrong on How Google Avoided Paying $60 Billion In Taxes · · Score: 1

    i was not aware that the poor got a refund on their sales tax, gas tax, cigarette and alcohol tax, portion of rent charged to pay for property and school tax, etc.

  19. Re:Improper Takedown? on Universal Sends DMCA Takedown On 1980 Report · · Score: 1

    they took the time to prepare the court documents.

    that would cover them if, for example, Major band X ripped off Indie band Y, then Major Label Z sent a takedown to indie band Y because they own the rights to major ban X's music, but X actually stole Y's song.

  20. Re:People send takedown notices almost randomly on Universal Sends DMCA Takedown On 1980 Report · · Score: 2, Interesting

    easy penalty, loss of the right to utilize the DMCA takedown mechanism, and addition to a registry of banned entities. any person who uses the DMCA takedown when banned from doing so is subject to up to 366 days in prison. the persons considered responsible would be both the chief officer of the responsible corporation and the cheif officer of any majority stakeholders, recursively. so no shenanigans with forming shell corporations to file DMCA takedowns.

  21. goatse on What If We Ran Universities Like Wikipedia? · · Score: 1

    so a wiki university would be on that you could go to class any day and instead of course work, be given a neo-nazi screed or a gigantic projection of goatse?
