  1. Re:Global companies VS Local Laws on Yahoo Allegedly Sells Reporter Out to Chinese Authorities · · Score: 1

    I imagine not wanting to help send journalists to their deaths would be a defense against a lawsuit.

  2. Re:This will actually make matters much worse.. on U.S.Laws May Make Online Job Hunting Harder · · Score: 1

    I don't even have "life signs" as you define them and I'm silicon based you carbo-laced motha****a.

  3. Re:Here is a question on U.S.Laws May Make Online Job Hunting Harder · · Score: 1

    The applicant pool. If 10% of your applicants are a particular minority, the government expects you to have around 10% of that minority in the workforce.

  4. Re:Drug overuse on Possible Breakthrough for AIDS Cure · · Score: 1

    If it really kills HIV as well as they say, it would probably require someone to underdose on the meds by corrupt doctors who want to resell the meds their government gives them. Super AIDS is on the way!

  5. Re:Apple hasn't switched on Apple Switched Chips Too Soon? · · Score: 1

    It'd be hilarious if AMD pumped the Athlon 64 close to the speeds IBM is claiming and turned the megahertz gun back on Intel. "We have dual core processors at 5GHz each, look at Intel's puney chips running at 3.8GHz and still doing practically nothing per clock cycle!"

  6. Re:That's a pretty good hoax then on Powell Aide Says Case for War a 'Hoax' · · Score: 1

    A presidential impeachment is the process of bringing charges against the president. Clinton was impeached but not removed from office.

    If they're selling the drugs in LA and you want to bomb NY, they aren't going to give a damn.

  8. Re:Cultural ? on NASA Science Under Attack · · Score: 1

    Half the world is probably shopping in the same stores and wearing the exact same clothes (in a smaller size perhaps) as the people in the US. There are countries that are passing laws to prevent the culture of the US from overtaking their own... I'm afraid they are the greatest influence on the culture of the world in history...

  9. Re:Stop it, on NASA Science Under Attack · · Score: 1

    and what would happen if we met up with an advanced civilization that happened to be the ones that *created* us in THEIR own image? ;p

  10. Re:Terrorists obviously want to attack the Superbo on Holograms Help Protect Super Bowl · · Score: 1

    But there will be more wealthy people at the super bowl than at that basketball game or mall. Who else pays those ticket prices?

  11. Re:Blizzard's got some house-cleaning to do on No Same Sex Marriage In World of Warcraft? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    they could adopt if they can find an agency that doesn't think gays are perverts that will molest the child or force their lifestyle on them...

  12. Re:Good points on Libraries Say DRM May Harm Their Services · · Score: 1

    You lose (erase) the key when it goes public domain and create a slightly modified derivative work covered by copyright with a new key and sell that instead.

  13. Re:Or a smarter Microsoft on Kama Sutra Worm Hits Softly · · Score: 1

    It's the user that opens the attachment. Should the e-mail app refuse to let the user choose to open any attachment at all?

  14. Re:Use Mozdex.com on Google Share Loss Amounts to Billions · · Score: 1

    wow, I thought you were describing Google for a minute.

  15. Re:Easy to side with RIM on Last NTP Patent Tentatively Thrown Out · · Score: 1

    They usually leave it up to the courts to decide if the patent is valid or not rather than review it themselves when its disputed. That's the entire point of bringing prior art to the judge. The problem is that judges don't have a clue about tech so tech patents stand up in court when they shouldn't.

  16. Re:Why not have MS audit? on ReactOS Code Audit · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah, they could presume all they want but they could still be sued for infringement. You can't force anyone to audit your code for you...

  17. Re:Bill Gates' TAX computer.... on Bill Gates' Taxes Require Special Computer · · Score: 1

    I somehow doubt that the IRS systems from the 60s are running Windows.

  18. Re:"Shooting themselves in the foot" is right on Newspaper Lobbyists Take Aim at Google News · · Score: 1

    Can they block only Google News? Or is this a blackmail scam where you either let Google have free reign or you have to blacklist yourself from the internet?

  19. Re:Copyright violation? on Newspaper Lobbyists Take Aim at Google News · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression that the copyright holders won in that case and it is specifically not okay to make any sort of profit from "fair use". IIRC, the defendents went into chapter 11 to avoid further proceedings against them.

  20. Re:nonsense on Newspaper Lobbyists Take Aim at Google News · · Score: 1

    Why should a news organization have themselves delisted from the search engine when it's Google News that's the problem?

  21. Re:Way to spin it on No Anti-Virus in Vista · · Score: 1

    There is plenty of malicious software that users download and run not knowing that it is malicious.

  23. Re:Three points on Court Rules Burning Porn = Making Porn · · Score: 1

    This is why the US needs its own great firewall like China. Things that are most definately illegal should be blocked by ISPs and not allowed into the country. A third party (not Christian fundamentalists please) could run the blacklist and make it available for anyone who wants to to query and see the REASON for the block. If I find something I want to view is blocked, I could query the blacklist database and see exactly why it's being blocked. If the reason is bullshit I would be able to report it as incorrect. Also, mandatory terms for judges to serve as reviewers of blocking requests would be nice.

  24. Re:Economic Falacy on Court Rules Burning Porn = Making Porn · · Score: 1

    In the presence of a pre-existing supply (product), if demand for the ORIGINAL supply (product) is high, then there is a premium paid for it and there exists no incentive to create new supply (product). If the demand is not for the ORIGINAL supply (product) but for something new then there is incentive to create something that will satisfy this demand. In the case of kiddy porn, that means when people get bored with what's available, some pioneering sleeze is going to create new material to offer up.

  25. Re:Three points on Court Rules Burning Porn = Making Porn · · Score: 1, Troll

    For the same reason people get sick of looking at porn and start wanting the real thing more than they did before they started looking at porn...
