  1. Re:One wonders on US Intensifies Fight Against Child Pornography · · Score: 1

    Read up on your reading comprehension, please. The poster was pointing out that using the metric of molested AND killed BY STRANGERS was a poor metric to use to claim there's no molestation problem. There's plenty who are being molested AND NOT killed or molested AND killed BY ACQUAINTANCES. The original poster of the comment used AND killed BY STRANGERS to narrow the field to make it look like the problem is non-existant even though children molested in child porn are usually left alive to make MORE child porn later.

  2. Re:How about nothing? on Google Violates Miro's Copyright? · · Score: 1

    Any artist that has included blank space in their works may sue them for violating their moral rights to a part of one of their works... just having a blank space is a distortion of their work!

  4. Re:Moral Rights on Google Violates Miro's Copyright? · · Score: 1

    Since the artist died in 1983, it's a safe bet that the US law doesn't apply. It's also interesting that using an artist's *style* or tiny elements of their works is "mutilation" under the moral rights thinking. Is painting the next patent office? "I draw nothing but circles and rectangles and your ovals and rhombuses are mutilations of my work!" Good fucking god.

    If she used her credentials to get in there to get up and scream rather that cover the event as a member of the press, she used her credentials under false pretenses. I wouldn't be surprised if her credentials disappear or they never accept them again.

    Any institution that stashes money away fro people bank or not should provide information to the IRS for tax purposes when requested. Why should PayPal be an asset hiding device?

    My 16th amendment trumps your Article I Sec II Clause III:

    Amendment XVI - Income taxes authorized. Ratified 2/3/1913.

    The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

    Except Bubba isn't gaming the system in the situation described. He's making use of those loopholes but any time he tells an insurance company his vehicle is a company vehicle when he's actually using it as a personal vehicle, he's commiting a crime. Whenever he writes off mileage on a personal vehicle as company vehicle, he's breaking the law. Bubba is a criminal.

    I think 3 building collapsing for reasons unheard of (WTC-7 wasn't even hit by a plane...) in previous times and then falling straight down into their own footprints (a feat even some of the best demolitionists on the planet won't attempt) would be the second clue.

    wtf? try reading again. This is about thousands of home network routers ignoring the protocol standard and flooding his NTP server.

  17. Re:Perfect... on RIAA Recommends Students Drop out of College · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think the issue most geeks have with the RIAA and these "settlements" is that the RIAA won't even listen to you when you tell them you didn't do anything and can prove it. You get a letter saying "pay us $X or we'll bury you in court costs with our multimillion dollar law firm" and they don't want to hear it if you think they're wrong because they know you're going to pay or lose even bigger.

    Add on top of that the the manufacturer of the faulty boards is probably providing new boards for next to nothing since it probably was their fault... even though Apple could've tested the design better... unless they used faulty boards knowingly just to launch the product...

    Well, it might be cheaper to switch no rather than wait until Microsoft has killed VMWare under the weight of their monopoly on desktop machines. It would be a shame if Vista and/or the next WinXP service pack didn't play well with those servers hosted on your VMWare...

    Well, if the lawyer's statements are any indication, the iTunes store is exactly what this is about and the guy is going to use the data transmitting defense against them. They better fire this guy before he uses that line or they're going to get bent over harder than Napster.
