  2. Re:Tags on EU to Investigate Google Doubleclick Acquisition · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sorry about that, I'll get on that as soon as I can. I'm working on the First Post and Goatse problem right now.

  3. Half a million? on Half a Million Database Servers 'Have no Firewall' · · Score: 1

    Is that all?

  4. Re:Storage requirements? on White House Ordered to Preserve All Email · · Score: 1

    I don't know if that's true or not, but I can confirm that each one still counts towards my inbox limit.

  5. Re:Our company was required to delete emails on White House Ordered to Preserve All Email · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The reasoning was that if we were sued and then deleted our emails, we were obstructing justice. If it's our policy to delete emails, then we aren't treating the evidence differently than any of the other emails.

    Apparently you aren't dealing with the same users I am. The ones that paste (15) 1 meg bitmap screenshots into each email. Then send it to the global email address. Then each of those users replies to all and asks why it was sent to them. Again, with (15) 1 meg screen shots in the email. You don't have those users?

  7. Our company was required to delete emails on White House Ordered to Preserve All Email · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A company I worked for was forbidden to keep emails longer than 60 days. Lawsuit evidence discovery was the actual reason they gave. At least they were honest about that... I chose to leave there because of ethical disagreements I had.

  8. Electric voting machines not reliable? on NY Rejects E-Voting, DOJ Trying to Force the Issue · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Neither are paper ballots, depending on who's counting them.

  9. Re:Not sure what he means. on Sony Calls Current Blu-ray/HD DVD Format War a 'Stalemate · · Score: 1

    The fact is that Toshiba paid Paramount a lot of money to drop Blu-Ray support.

    Source, please?

    'We were trying to win on the merits, which we were doing for a while, until Paramount changed sides,'

    Now what? Are you going to try to win by unlawful or dishonest tactics? Not sure why you wouldn't try to win on the merits, unless you know that your product isn't as good...

  11. Re:Just another reason I pay cash when possible. on FBI May Have Datamined Grocery Stores With Help From Credit Companies · · Score: 1

    Hilarious that the parent posted AC to avoid having want his/her actions traced back.

  12. Just another reason I pay cash when possible. on FBI May Have Datamined Grocery Stores With Help From Credit Companies · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Buying hunting ammunition? Pay cash. Buying food? Cash. Fireworks? Cash. Whether I have a reason to or not. And don't get me started on those "in-store discount cards".

  13. Yay DRM. on AntiPiracy Macrovision Bug is Actually Six Years Old · · Score: 4, Funny

    Can Macrovision be held liable for losses?

  15. FTA: on Microsoft pays Timeline $5M in Patent Settlement · · Score: 1

    "Timeline, Inc. entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement with Microsoft Corporation and ProClarity Corporation in settlement of..." Doesn't seem too confidential to me...

    Isn't having solid stuff in your bloodstream bad?

  20. Early adoption problems for Apple. on Leopard Early Adopters Suffer For The Rest of Us · · Score: 5, Funny

    Clearly they're pandering to the Windows market.

    4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.

  23. Why does it have to be a bribe? on Mandriva's Open Letter To Steve Ballmer · · Score: 4, Insightful

    From one perspective (although undoubtedly an unpopular one here on /.) a free copy of Windows is worth more than a free copy of Mandriva. If MS came by later and offered free, or heavily discounted copies of Windows, I could see how Nigeria would accept it. After all, it vastly increases the range of applications that are now available for them to use. It's a great deal for Microsoft. Get those Nigerian kids entrenched in the Microsoft camp at a young age. Like I said, it may not be popular here, but I can see how this deal could be viewed as good for both parties by both parties...

    My question too. Bribe? Buy-off?
