    I don't think so.

  5. Re:Meme killin' time on AOL: We're Not Spying on AIM Users · · Score: 1

    You missed one of his points. He said AOL will do what it *can get away with*. It's the old addage, "it's not cheating if you don't get caught." If AOL thinks it can get away with something, or that potential lawsuits won't cut too deeply into profit margins, then they'll do it. Even car companies take lawsuits and other legal issues into effect when they calculate how many people will die using their cars.

    "Site is dying. Now they're facing the real test: can you use a Bluetooth rifle against a Slashdot attack? There's one Slashdotter... another one... look, over there! But the battle is hopeless, most Slashdotters are secure in their parents' basement."

  11. Re:Insecure on Japanese Firms Claim 170Mb/s Service Via Powerline · · Score: 1

    Add to security interference. There's enough crap in the air to make several miles of wire a very nice antenna, and in some places already does.

  12. Why relate it to wifi? on Japanese Firms Claim 170Mb/s Service Via Powerline · · Score: 1

    Why not just say x times faster than DSL or Broadband? I think more people understand those kinds of data rate comparisons. And it's the same type of physical layer.

    ...it has been discovered that Canada Dry is shockingly similiar to ginger ale.

  19. Re:Ahhhh.... irony on 'Spamalot' Subscribers to Get Spam ... a Lot · · Score: 1

    "And, John Lithgow was sitting five rows in front of me. He has a bald spot on the back of his head." Yeah, I'm glad someone *finally* pointed that out.
