  1. Re:Plaintext passwords? on Changing Customers Password Without Consent · · Score: 1

    you use one of these: https://www.paypal.com/securitykey

  2. Re:Under age on RIAA Foiled By "Innocent Infringement" Defense · · Score: 4, Informative

    Don't use the RIAA's list. they've repeatedly continued to list labels that oppose their tactics (e.g., Epitaph). Use the the RIAA Radar instead.

  3. Re:If the Scrabulous people have any pride... on Scrabulous Is Dead, Hasbro's Version Brain-Dead · · Score: 1

    Hasbro can own the rights to the name, the packaging, and the artwork, but they cannot copyright the rules of the game. The name is close enough that they may have a complaint there.

  4. Re:Dupe! on Logged In or Out, Facebook Is Watching You · · Score: 1

    seriously. even if it weren't a dupe, it's 6 month old news, and an issue that's since been resolved and abandoned by the protesters.

  5. Re:Whew, your telcos are safe. on Senate Passes Telecom Immunity Bill · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Which is worse, McCain skipping, or Obama present and voting yea?

  6. Re:The democratic party in a nutshell: on Nancy Pelosi vs. the Internet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "third" parties are a ploy by the two big parties to siphon-off people who demand change, into irrelevancy, so that the big-two aren't forced to change at all to accommodate these 'extremists'?

    unlikely. Nearly every systematic public alignment winds up the same way (think religious denominations, gender): the extremes rarely align with the complacent middle, nor vice versa.

  7. Re:Diversify. on Best Way To Store Digital Video For 20 Years? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Many cheap web hosts offer offsite storage and daily local backups. You can use a self-hosted gallery software (ZenPhoto, Gallery2, etc) as well, but I just leave them raw on the server.

  8. Re:Not a thief on Confessions of a Wi-Fi Thief · · Score: 1

    Not only that, Most consumer routers, and especially routers issued by ISP's (at least in my experience) default to creating a WEP or WPA password/passphrase. The plaintiff would have to have specifically chosen to remove the password. Not that there might not be good reason (*cough*Vista*cough*), but it would still be an active choice to open their network.

  9. Re:I will not on OpenSUSE 11.0 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    perhaps if you read their actual CTO's blog, instead of someone related to mono development, you might find what you were looking for.

  10. Re:Rivalry? on Google Docs Aims At Microsoft Office Live · · Score: 1

    Nope, google docs allows editing, storage, and versioning of documents. Office Live only allows storage and check in/check out. Basecamp is a closer competitor to Office Live, in terms of features.

  11. Re:Detroit Digital Vinyl on Making Money Selling Music Without DRM · · Score: 2, Informative

    all this mention of dance/electronic labels and nobody mentions WARP? BLEEP is a fantastic store that sells both compressed MP3's and lossless FLAC's. when bleep first came out, their goal was to provide digital versions of previously vinyl-only albums, as well as making WARP's entire backcatalog available. they're still not there yet, but they're doing a whole lot better than most labels, who seem to think that buying records is a privilege to be doled out as they see fit.

  12. The US wants companies to fight a war for Them on Congressmen Condemn Companies for China Policies · · Score: 1

    how can we in one breath bash microsoft for failing to bow to the EU's sovereignty, and in the next bash them for compliance with the chinese? google and microsoft are doing the right thing. if the US has such a problem with censorship in china, they should issue statements to the chinese government, the one with sovereignty, the one with the ability to ACTUALLY CHANGE the situation. i know americans are used to big business telling the governnment what to do, but internationally, that concept is ridiculous.

  13. Re:Eat me, Sony. on Sony's SunnComm DRM Patch a Security Risk · · Score: 2, Interesting

    objection to b)

    buying second hand only covers your butt in case someone audits your music collection. (likelyhood=0). it doesn't benefit the artist, or the record company. it only benefits the used CD store and the guy who sold the CD.

    replacement b)Buy what you like IN THE FIRST WEEK, or buy it from the band at the show.
