  1. Re:saner summary. on IT Worker Fired After Massive Georgia Data Breach Speaks Out (ajc.com) · · Score: 2

    "instead of "coming clean" to a newspaper, he should have filed a wrongful termination suit."

      Except for the fact that most employees in the state of Georgia are "at will". Which generally means they can fire
    him with or without cause. Without knowing if there was an employment contract it's just speculation.

    We call that mantitory gun control.

    " no brothels within 400m of a school/church."

    While you're at it how about making churches pay tax,
    god forbid you'd want consenting sex so close to a cult that has consistently protected pedophiles.

  8. Regardless of the investment stated the problem with this countries "state owned" businesses are that profit isn't needed as quickly as other markets.

      Even if 76 billion is the initial commitment, they can sell at a loss for years until there's no competition.

      Then what?

  9. Since when does a download of IP on ISP To Court: BitTorrent Usage Doesn't Equal Piracy (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 3

    prove the recipient doesn't have a license for the use of the IP?

      Even if the holder of a license is able to prove that an individual obtained a copy via what ever protocol, be it from a swarm, FTP or any method, how is that proof the recipient lacks license? How much longer do we have to wait before the burden of proof is restored to a legal level from the current mobster level that exists?

    I believe that TCP/IP was built to assure that markets can't control the network. Additionally the IETF's process has done a pretty good job of protocol ratification and (for the most part) kept the playing field level.

    The user still has to navigate to a website then install the app granting android permission to execute. The statement "spread to victims via SMS messages." is fear mongering.

    Nothing new..

  19. " That means if they went under right now, their creditors, including depositors, would get 5 cents on the dollar."

    A little misleading. Everyone is covered by the FDIC, which I believe covers $250k per person. So if they "went under" it would be significantly more of an issue then the bank failure (or being out of trust).

    " zoom in on your wife sunbathing in the secluded and fenced-off backyard "

    Are you familiar with the focal attributes of the cameras included on most quad-copters? Most of them are so wide angled one needs to process the video to rid fish-eye. Additionally, I don't know of any with zoom features.
