  2. Beat comca$t at their game... on Comcast Forging Packets To Filter Torrents · · Score: 1

    All comcast customers, on Friday the 14th, try to connect to a P2P network for "Legit" reasons.
    Then when they shape/change your TCP packet, go to the small claims court in your county and sue them for that months service charge. If enough people do that for the next 6 months, it will stop.

    They do not breed enough lawyers to defend the cases, that and the cost would drive them out of business.

    I am not on comcast or I would join the battle...

    providing the point to point from the tower to my house.

  7. Re:Can RAM claim the 5th? on TorrentSpy Must Preserve Data In RAM For MPAA · · Score: 1

    I think they should do a RAM dump directly to the MPAA server

    say every 90 seconds

    or better yet, to the courts server...

  8. I like it... on TorrentSpy Must Preserve Data In RAM For MPAA · · Score: 1

    If the Judge orders it one way then it can go the other also

    I want to see the RAM dumps of all of MPAA's PC's, Servers, Firewalls, and Routers

    I want it in hard copy, sorted by user, by day, by hour, and by subject

    I also want to see a copy of all files referenced or loaded into the RAM

    I want to see this for the last 5 years

    ohh, don't forget the cell phones and PDA's

    And fine the CEO for letting his phone battery die last friday.

  9. China is comunist... on China Says Tibetans Need Permission To Reincarnate · · Score: 1

    No religion other that that of the government.

    Thus, by allowing a few thousand year old religion to proceed
    they are admitting that the government is wrong.

    We all no that the government is never wrong.

    I say allow him to reincarnate.
    I just hope he comes back as the bear that bites the Chines leader's head off

  10. Quoting Webster Dictionary on Verizon vs. the Needham Fire Department · · Score: 1

    1) the phenomenon of combustion manifested in light, flame, and heat ...
    2) fuel in a state of combustion...
    3) a destructive burning...

    Now how many of you have arced electrical wires?

    I have done so many times

    Wow item #1. (flash of light, heat from the arch, and flame in the form of the arch)
    Wow item #2. (fuel did burn, the wires insulation had to be at least singed from the arch)
    Wow item #3. (the wires burned in half)

    Guess what... By definition there was a fire.

    Now did the fire spread from the electrical system to other combustibles?
    Most likely not.

    So the F.D. Says Fire
    Verizon says no fire

    I would have to say a very small electrical fire that resulted in the need for the FD to open the wall and ensure there was no smoldering embers.

  11. Re:Ay, There's the rub.... on RIAA Short on Funds? Fails to Pay Attorney Fees · · Score: 1

    But there is a way to collect...

    Once you get the judgment you seize their assets. I had to do this against a company that owed me from a judgment. Boy where they hot when my attorney seized their bank accounts, and the sheriff showed up and seized all of the assets of the company. All of this over a $1,800.00 service invoice.

  12. a few thoughts on DUI Defendant Wins Source Code to Breathalyzer · · Score: 1

    - I would like to see how it rounds. .01294568423764 does it show .013 or .012
      - .008327, not legally drunk here but does it round to .01

    If he is able to prove that the Court/Officer says his BAC was .01 and he is able to show
    that the device rounded and he was actually .0099999999999
    or more importantly, the potential of that rounding.

    x = round(.00979999998,3)
    x = .01 you go to jail

    x = round(.00979999998,4)
    x = 0.0098 you don't go to jail

    They call that a reasonable doubt.
    The device did not report the "Actual" BAC

    Now don't get me wrong, I HATE drunk drivers
    But if the court can not prove its case 100% then he goes free

    If he can raise the question in the juries mind that the device "May" report an inaccurate
    number then they have to let him go plane and simple.

  13. I think all governments should sue on American Red Cross Sued For Using a Red Cross · · Score: 1

    The red cross or the red + as it where is the international symbol for aid
    whether it be first aid, as in injuries, or just aid in general.

    Look at any ambulance, first aid kit, medical device, they all have the red cross

    IMHO the red cross/ red + should not be allowed to be a service mark, or trade mark of any company or organization.

    the installer.

    Most people I know don't use the installer.

    They just plug the modem into the firewall
    and go on with life.

    The only time you need the installer if you are suckered
    into using the USB modem.

    Other than that...

    Lets say another 1,000 people just passing by that the towers see

    I will only charge them $0.001 per phone
