  1. Dupe? on Senate To Reconsider Wiretap Immunity · · Score: 2, Interesting
  2. Pardon? on New "JUSTICE" Act Could Roll Back Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1, Insightful
    What stops the President from issuing pardons? I'm assuming that if Bush could have he would have.

    I have to wonder if the telcos overheard something compromising and that's why Obama flipped.

  3. duplicate? on RAID's Days May Be Numbered · · Score: 1
  4. Re:internet licence on Australian ISPs Asked To Cut Off Malware-Infected PCs · · Score: 1
    Dumb idea, at least using the USA as a reference point.

    I see drivers constantly using cell phones or reading or putting on makeup. Do you think they will use the internet any less recklessly?

  5. Not just gmail, Dell too on GMail Experiences Serious Outage · · Score: 1

    We are experiencing 503 errors and timeouts from Dell websites.

  6. What if I refuse to reveal a password? on Homeland Security Changes Laptop Search Policy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How do I know the data retrieved has been destroyed? After the way the government handled the MLB players confidential drug results I do not have confidence in their ethics.

  7. Is the ACLU recommending surgeon general's warning on Facebook App Exposes Abject Insecurity · · Score: 1
  8. National security issue? on Three Indicted In Huge Identity/Data Breach · · Score: 1

    How is 130 million cards getting compromised not going to have an impact on the economy?

  9. Re:At what point... brinks commercials on Team Aims To Create Pure Evil AI · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Have you noticed ALL of the Brinks security commercials have the intruder being a white male?

    The drinking and driving commercials are the same. A car driven by a white male is pulled over by cops of various races.

  10. Why can't you sell it if not refunded on Danish FreeBSD Dev. Sues Lenovo Over "Microsoft Tax" · · Score: 1

    It seems whatever law or license prohibits reselling it is void if Lenova/MS refuse to do a refund.

  11. Nobody in this article has any common sense on Man Jailed After Using LimeWire For ID Theft · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Frederick Wood: did he think passing off boxes of junk as computers would never fail?

    First craigslist victim: you wrote a check without checking the product?

    Prosecutor: what 'protected computer' was accessed? Do you have a different definition of protected?

    ID theft Victims: what are you thinking putting sensitive information on a computer used by teenagers?

    SONY?!?!? Does the word rootkit ring a bell?

  13. Re:Stopping text messaging while driving on Antitrust Pressure Mounts For Wireless Providers · · Score: 1

    Insurance companies could help. They should have a clause that nullifies the policy if the driver was using a cell phone or texting near the time of the crash.

  15. Where's the business case? on Most Companies Won't Deploy Windows 7 — Survey · · Score: 4, Interesting
    How will Windows 7 or Office 2010 increase revenue or reduce expenses.

    http://www.infoworld.com/d/windows/windows-microsofts-red-headed-stepchild-075?page=0,1&source=IFWNLE_nlt_blogs_2009-07-13

    From the article ...
    "I recently spoke with an IT manager who was budgeting for an Office 2010 upgrade from Office 2003. I casually asked him what features he had deemed important enough to justify a $100,000 budget item. He thought for a minute and admitted that he couldn't think of a single one. So I asked the logical follow-up: Why are you buying it? He had no answer for that either. The $100,000 line item disappeared. He's also sticking with XP."

  16. I've never been so excited about anything on Eye In the Sky For City Crime Fighting · · Score: 1, Funny

    This politician obviously doesn't get out much.

  17. Re:As much as I would like to see her in jail... on Judge Tentatively Dismisses Case Against Lori Drew · · Score: 1

    Why can't he charge her now that his first choice of offenses failed? She was not acquitted of any kind of civil rights violations, so double jeopardy shouldn't apply.

  18. Re:DHS should kill on DHS To Kill Domestic Satellite Spying Program · · Score: 3, Interesting
    That should be just the start. Let's add these:

    ATF
    DEA
    IRS

    When is Ayatollah Ali Khamenei up for reelection? Who ran against him in the last election?

  21. Hope WIN7 catches on on HTML 5 Takes Aim At Flash and Silverlight · · Score: 1
    With older browsers all that was needed was a plugin. If the user/corporation is required to update the browser, good luck.

    How many organizations are still use IE6? Too many.

  22. No Katrina money left? on Internet Tax Approved By Louisiana House · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What about the billions we already gave to that incompetent Nagan and his crooked police force?

  23. Tysons Metro is a boondoggle on When Your Backhoe Cuts "Black" Fiber · · Score: 1

    I live on the west end of Tysons and expect the Metro will increase my property value. But the $5.2B($900M is federal) cost of this project will never come close to being financially justifiable. As with most government projects I expect that price tag to double before completion.
