  1. Re:Secret laws are illegal anyway on EU Privacy Chief Says ACTA Violates European Law · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm sure it will be available for the public to read - but only after it has been signed into law. ACTA is still being negotiated, you know.

  2. Re:Maybe it'll be a good thing... on ACTA Internet Chapter Leaked — Bad For Everyone · · Score: 1

    Adding YRO to school curricula will end with having to read something like Captain Copyright for home assignment.

  3. Re:Tyranny vs Liberty on ACTA Internet Chapter Leaked — Bad For Everyone · · Score: 1

    The second scenario happens. Sequoia will provide the voting machines so achieving the desired result (a corporately supported fellow winning) is not that hard.

  4. Re:Pointless on Details Emerge On EU-Only "Browser Choice" Screen For Windows · · Score: 1

    Canonical is not the author of Firefox

  5. Re:Ding Dong on Google To End Support For IE6 · · Score: 1

    how much of that 90% would let a web site compile the kernel for their computer?

    I guess someone thought it would be an effective way to prevent piracy

  7. Re:take that thought all the way on Universal, Pay Those EFFing Lawyers · · Score: 1

    radio airplay is not free advertising. Radios pay the music labels for the right to play the songs.

  8. Re:Safe Harbor Limits for Fair Use on Universal, Pay Those EFFing Lawyers · · Score: 1

    How much goodwill would a person have left after looking through a few thousand notices? I assume you'll end up with a disgruntled person that stamps "approved" on all of the requests without actually looking though them after a while.

  9. Re:Stop tinkering with things they don't understan on Australian ISPs To Disconnect Botnet "Zombies" · · Score: 1

    agreed, as long as the definition of "zombies" will only include the actual zombies.

  10. Re:This is how it's done where I'm from... on Why the IRS Should Automatically Fill In Returns With What It Knows · · Score: 5, Informative

    In Estonia, you log in to the web page of the IRS equivalent, click "Next" a few times, then click "Confirm" and you're all done. No dead trees involved.

  11. Re:There's funny... on Facebook Master Password Was "Chuck Norris" · · Score: 1

    Did you happen to hear about the news about some Chinese cracking into Google computers?

    I guess the point is that having a master password that works only in internal network is OK only as long as nobody breaks into that internal network

  12. Re:Quoth the TFA on Microsoft To Ship Emergency IE Patch · · Score: 1

    are IE6 and IE8 different browsers or different versions of the same browser?

  13. Re:Already there? on Dragging Telephone Numbers Into the Internet Age · · Score: 1

    ICQ was using numbers as identifiers

    I stopped using Google Docs after I lost all updates to a document (changes were not saved) due to shoddy internet connection

    Replace dead bodies and zombies with Teletubbies. No need for gore then, and it's still fun to play

  17. right ... on AU Legal Group Says ISP Allowed 100K Illegal Downloads · · Score: 1

    AFACT: "All messengers carrying bad news should be shot".

    This is how I understand their approach.

    "Microsoft releases new critical IE patch that accidentally disables the Chrome Frame"

  19. Re:So? on Children's Watch Allows Parents To Track Their Kid · · Score: 1

    Do you have a cell phone? If so, then you could be tracked already.

  22. Re:No, Clearly a Horrible Anti-Fair Use Ruling on Judge Rules Against RealDVD · · Score: 1

    What happens to all of those DVD's you bought when DVD goes the way of VHS?

    Nothing? Are your DVDs going to magically stop working that day?

    Do you have any VHS players in your home? Do you expect to own a working VHS player ten years from now?

  23. Re:Won't hold up on Microsoft Patents XML Word Processing Documents · · Score: 1

    So, in principle, they patented writing a lot of extra XML attributes to an XML file, be it bookmarks, formatting hints or whatever. I still don't see how this is any different from WinterSolstice's XML editor.

  24. Re:"IT"? on A Hypothesis On Segway Hate · · Score: 1

    ... or perhaps it was called "IT" before it was given the name Segway. Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segway (however, it's marked as [citation needed] there). But I've heard it being called "IT" on radio (back in 2001).

  25. Re:Let it die. on The Music Industry's Crisis Writ Large · · Score: 1

    I second that. I've found out about a few artists that sounded really good from the Last.fm radio - Puscifer and Liv Kristine, for example. The recommendations channel isn't free but usually I just type in a tag like "old school rock" and listen to whatever comes up. If the official last.fm client is used, you can even skip songs you don't like or even ban an artist.

    Note that the last.fm radio is free only in a few countries (UK, USA and Germany, if I remember correctly). Hotspot Shield can fix this, though.
