  1. Re:It isn't facial recognition which will do this on Delta Airlines Tests Facial Recognition To Speed Up Baggage Check-In (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Amsterdam airport attack? Please get your facts straight or is this another "alternate" fact?

    Dutch is not Danish!

  3. Re:Where is the line? on Dutch Court Rules WiFi Hacking Not a Criminal Offense · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I've read the original article mentioned in Dutch, and the gist of it is really that it isn't illegal to simply use someone else's network (even when it is encrypted), but it would be illegal to start browsing electronic files in that network.

  4. Re:Not that unrelated... on Taxes On Cell Phones Hit All-Time High · · Score: 1

    I was just trying to give an informative post on how 911 service actually works.

    As was I. No intention at all to bash you.

  5. Re:Not that unrelated... on Taxes On Cell Phones Hit All-Time High · · Score: 1

    It's not that 911 operations need extra equipment: the tax is actually used for operating the 911 centers.

    I love my N8! Best choice aver. All the guys at work have Android phones and are dissing my N8, but they all had to admit it had awesome reception and speed. Hehehe.

    Makes me glad I never set up an account. People don't want to hear it, but they're so screwed by using the social networks. Disclaimer: I'm on linkedin, but that is only for professional purposes.

    I for one welcome our Afghan overlords!

  9. Re:Tethering on a G1 on Palm Pre Does Not Get US Tethering Either · · Score: 1

    I've used tethering on the T-mobile network since 2003. First with a Sony Ericsson and currently with a Razr (although I don't use it much anymore). It was my only home connection until late 2007 when I finally got a cable modem (and a Cox plan with a 4GB limit!).

    Hans?! Is that you!

  11. Re:Cappings effect on net neutrality... on AT&T Begins a Trial To Cap, Meter Internet Usage · · Score: 1

    Living in the San Diego area and being stuck with either Cox cable or ATT (with forced landline), I chose about the lowest Cox package: 4Gb for $30. JUST 4Gb! So don't complain you're getting 40-100 Gb for $30!

  14. Re:No Longer Relevant on IPhone 2.0 Jailbroke · · Score: 1

    Nope, there's two more ways to install apps: through the Enterprise set up for internal apps and through a Ad Hoc process. You would have to register the iPhone to get the app (up to 100 phones can get it - see Steve's keynote).

  15. Re:Let's not forget corporate laptops... on Workplace BlackBerry Use May Spur Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    I don't think that the law says you have to be exempt, just that if you are exempt, you must make at least $36/hr.

    It's for all computer professionals, I should have made that clear.

  17. Re:Let's not forget corporate laptops... on Workplace BlackBerry Use May Spur Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    Except that in California you need to make a certain minimum amount in order to be eligible to be classified as exempt. For 2008 it's $36 an hour (or the equivalent on a year basis), but in 2007 it was over $49 an hour. Too bad my previous company is almost bankrupt otherwise I should sue them for unpaid overtime!

    Simple - with a taser: the non-lethal way!

  19. E-voting instead on Dutch Voting Machines De-Certified · · Score: 1

    I cast my e-vote last year through the internet here from the US.
    The system seemed to work fine(apparently it was an experiment) and reasonably secure: you had to send a form to your consulate for confirmation of eligibility and in return you got a secure code to cast your vote.
    It even had a paper trail if you wanted. I hope they will keep that system at least.

  20. But wait...it gets worse! on UK ISP Admitted to Spying on Customers · · Score: 1

    They (BT) are implementing this in the UK, along with a couple of other ISPs (like Virgin).

  21. Re:Not all sessions experience the same congestion on Fixing the Unfairness of TCP Congestion Control · · Score: 1

    To my knowledge Cox has done tiered plans for years: I got hi-speed cable from them last year and my plan only allows 4 GB of downloads a month (and 1 GB of uploads! for $28). Their max plan is 40 GB a month ($55).

  22. Re:They're losing money on $5 Per Month Fee Proposed For Legal Music P2P · · Score: 1

    I for one would never ever be willing to be this "tax". I do NOT download any music, if I want something I go and buy the CD (I know it's old fashioned but I like it - I'll rip it to mp3 later).

    Berman is just a shill for Hollywood.

  24. Re:I wonder if... on Bank That Suppressed WikiLeaks Gives It Up · · Score: 1

    I believe that they can sue for filing a frivolous lawsuit. From the article: "Lawyers for the intervening parties in the case had threatened to try to recover legal fees in the case under a California law intended to prevent frivolous lawsuits, said Paul Alan Levy, a lawyer at Public Citizen who argued against the judge's order at the hearing on Friday."
