  1. Re:Shill or just don't care about your rights? on Cracking iTunes' DRM with JHymn · · Score: 1

    How in the world are they going to take away my privilege of burning the CDs I burned when I bought the music?

  2. Re:Prevent filesharing? on Cracking iTunes' DRM with JHymn · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Then it does not sound like you want to buy iTunes. Why would you support something that you do not agree with?

  3. Re:The Terrorist Bomber's Dream! on American Passports to Have RFID Chips · · Score: 1

    It is the power of the chip within the object that allows it to be read from a distance. I would seriously doubt they will put high frequency chip in the passport. The type of reader I have is of no matter when it comes to distance if your chip is giving out a signal of only 13.56 Mhz.

    As for the bomb, finding a single or group of disenchanted person, strapping explosives to him and running into a crowded building would be far easier than trying to use technology. That is why the suicide bombing are happening.

    I am not for the RFID tags in my passport but people scanning me or bombs being controlled by the tags is just kinda silly.

  4. The point of intellictual Zealots... on Are Linux Zealots Terrorists? · · Score: 1

    is to continue the discussion hoping to change the mind of the other side. Most of the people I consider a "Linux Zealot" might hurt your feelings every now and again but the argument itself is there battle. The 9/11 Terrorist spent years of there lives "underground" not discussing or engaging the other side in dialog. That seems to be the main difference although honestly there is much more.
