    So, we have to make bigger microwaves, so the person can get in there with their pet and they both can be dried at the same time.

    No, I had to take out what I was hiding to get the probe in.

    No, that is effectively saying "I will help you to defraud the gov't".

    If he had stopped with "I will teach you how to be a polygraph test", then the gov't would have a difficult time convicting him.

    No matter how many of these tests I do, I still really dislike that anal probe that measures how stressed my anus is.

  6. But I don't think I've seen an @aol.com email address in a lot time.

    I'm also surprised that Verizon thinks it is worth $4.4 billion.

  7. You can have a huge multi-million gallon aquifer, with all kinds of dead animals in it, pooping in it, peeing in it, but one guy pees in it in and you have drain the whole thing and fill it up again with clean water...

    It'll be a dry heat, so, yeah, it'll seem like time just drags on and on.

    More like "Your payment of $45.68 for continued use of your enhancements today has exceeded your credit limit. Please have someone make the payment for you to reenable the use of them." (you "hear" this in your head as you lie on the floor, unable to move)

  11. It's probably based off wordpress, so it literally will be impossible to fix.

    The thing is, it's true. It isn't google's job to figure out who owns which copyrights, because that's pretty much impossible for them to do with certainty.

    And the DMCA says they don't have to.

    If they properly receive and process DMCA notices, forward them to the relevant accounts and take down the content, that is what they are legally obliged to do, and that's it. And the absolves them of being responsible for the content, even if someone posts a slightly modified version of the content 2 seconds later.

    The real problem is, the big boys don't play by these same rules, instead they make private deals to manage content instead. The biggest example being Youtube's ContentID system, where, if you are a big enough corporation, you can join and make a lot of money semi-automatically for your content instead of dicking around with generating zillions of DMCA notices. But you can only get on that gravy train if you a large enough corporation. If you are a small guy, sorry, you are stuck with DMCA notices.

    I believe every spy agency has their penis firmly inserted into Facebook. And Facebook likes it.

    Not applicable. The computer was only playing for street cred. It had no real stake in the outcome, as it would not have received any of the money if it "won" and doesn't have to pay anything for losing.

    why not? a crappy economy means things should be dirt cheap, if you pay with real money [which would be anything but Modollars].

  25. Re:Seriously...? on James Comey: the Man Who Wants To Outlaw Encryption · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Everyone's broken some law. He's just going through the list of people in the US.

    But it's hard to go out and investigate, come up with leads, run them down. Instead, you just have all the major ISPs [wired and wireless] track who is using encrypted communications, and report to you their name, address and current physical location. Then you make up a reason to search through their home, financial records and internet history [thanks for the data, NSA], and you'll find something.
