  1. TOC? on Managing Information Security Risks · · Score: 1

    Looks like a review of the table of contents, not the book.

  2. Re:Best game Evah? on Review: Halo 2 And The MagicBox XFPS · · Score: 1

    Great call on MOO2...but perhaps the biggest disappointment ever was MOO3. Three weeks after playing that game I still didn't know what was going on...

  3. Re:More Reviews! on Review: Halo 2 And The MagicBox XFPS · · Score: 1

    What's a mouse?

  4. Re:(C)anada on Canadian Privacy Law v. E-Mail Harvesting · · Score: 1

    One of the best things about PIPEDA is how comprehensive it is. Many of the privacy laws that the U.S. has enacted only singles out certain types of businesses and is limited in scope. Eventually, other laws have to be passed -- such as FACTA -- to address issues that other laws completely missed (Gramm-Leach-Bliley or HIPAA, for example).

  5. Coincidentally... on Canadian Privacy Law v. E-Mail Harvesting · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I just happen to be researching and writing something on PIPEDA...it sounds like this principle (3rd of 10) was violated:

    Obtain Consent - Every organization is responsible for getting consent from the person whose information will be collected, used and/or disclosed. Consent is defined as voluntary agreement with what is being done and may be implied or expressed. In addition, the individual must be told the details of why, how and when the information is being collected, used or disclosed.

  6. Re:Every day... on Humans are Causing Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should just have said a scorecard that discounts results you don't want to think about.

    Yeah, that's what I said. I want a resource that compiles all of these studies and presents the results, and that's somehow biased, while your assumption isn't biased? God forbid if I want to review all of the evidence and the sources and decide for myself.

  7. Re:Every day... on Humans are Causing Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Maybe I should've said unbiased scorecard...

  8. Every day... on Humans are Causing Global Warming · · Score: 1

    It seems that every day we have someone coming out with a study that either affirms or denies global warming. Isn't there a scorecard to keep track of all of these?

  9. Re:Maybe the reason the Brits are in the lead... on United Kingdom Leads the World in TV Downloads · · Score: 1

    We (the U.S.) stole Graham Norton! Which, actually, is a shame, because I enjoyed his show via BBC America more than what it is on Comedy Central...

  10. "People are cheating"... on Online Cigarette Customers Get Bill from State · · Score: 1

    "People are cheating the system. They are hurting Michigan small businesses, and they're very open about it," Sarafa said. "People tell store owners they're buying a pack of cigarettes only because they're waiting for their next shipment to come in."

    Actually, it is the tax itself that is hurting businesses -- they don't see that revenue, and demand drops.

  11. -1, Flamebait on the submitter on United Kingdom Leads the World in TV Downloads · · Score: 1

    Can we flamebait the original post? Due to his sarcastic remarks about the UK, hardly any of this conversation has had anything to do with the actual article. (OTOH, of course, I did enjoy the my-country-is-better-than-yours discourse)

  12. Re:Krystal has free WiFi on Panera Bread Is The Largest Provider Of Free WiFi · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hmmm...the Krystal near here is next to a Panera, so maybe they are just borrowing it :) Honestly, that's the last place I'd expect to find one...

  13. Re:Pan = Pain = Bread ? on Panera Bread Is The Largest Provider Of Free WiFi · · Score: 1

    Panera was part of Au Bon Pain...and panera might mean breadbasket in Spanish (a few sites out there have mentioned it, but Babelfish doesn't know it).

  14. Re:St. Louis Bread Company on Panera Bread Is The Largest Provider Of Free WiFi · · Score: 1

    Like Manhattan Bagel? Or Chesapeake Bagel? It has been done before...

  15. Re:Great food as well on Panera Bread Is The Largest Provider Of Free WiFi · · Score: 1

    I was just there this morning. I needed an Asiago Cheese bagel and some coffee. The coffee isn't that great, but it is cheaper than Starbucks, and it actually drinkable within the hour :)

  16. Re:Americans need to get themselves straight.. on Grand Theft Auto Led Teen to Kill · · Score: 1

    You're argument has come full circle. From blaming games, to blaming guns, to blaming the media!

  17. Re:I'm pissed. on Grand Theft Auto Led Teen to Kill · · Score: 1

    John Edwards did this? And still became an elected official on Tobacco Road???

  18. nothing to see here on Grand Theft Auto Led Teen to Kill · · Score: 1

    When a company actually loses one of these cases, then it will be news. But as of now, all of these the "GTA/Ozzy/Judas Priest made me do it" cases are losers, and the correct decision has been made.

  19. Re:More = Better? on Firefox Breaks 25 Million Downloads · · Score: 2, Interesting

    25 million and my company it is still barely -- or not -- registering on my company's logs. It's a shame, too, because until it does, I'll be the only one that cares that our site looks like ass in Firefox.

  22. Re:Rat-rights people just as bad. on MIT Certifies Biological Engineering Major · · Score: 1

    Relgion needs a "hot topic" to stay relevent.

    I suppose that priests behaving badly is not the "hot topic" that you speak of...

  23. Re:In other news on MIT Certifies Biological Engineering Major · · Score: 1

    These were the same students that majored in "Ecommerce"...

  24. Re:Bad start on Straczynski Offers To Re-Boot Star Trek [updated] · · Score: 1

    Finally, someone with a comment about the theme song. I'm sitting here with it going through my head, and it is making me insane. My gf can tolerate me watching reruns and reruns of TNG, but when she heard that sappy, awful song, she couldn't help but laugh.

    What casual fan could take this show seriously?

  25. Re:Oh great. on Dvorak on Google and Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Some government will sue them, of course...
