  1. DoS'ing != Hacking on Jamming Cellphones with Text Messages · · Score: 1

    I was listening to NPR earlier (and also checked random news sources when I got home) and found that quite a few news sources analogized "hacking on the internet" like this form of hacking. However, this sort of attack sounds more similar to a DoS attack rather than finding exploits to break in.

  2. Re:Who cares on Lik-Sang.com Taken to Court By Sony · · Score: 1

    Nintendogs.

  3. Re:The USPTO has done it again, brilliant. on Google Patents RSS Advertising · · Score: 1
    "Heck, why doesn't the USPTO lay off half its examiners and just post patent applications to Slashdot?"

    No need to fire them. We're already halfway there.

  4. So I guess he's in the business of "everything" on Owner of the Word Stealth 'Protecting' Rights · · Score: 2, Insightful

    All prior art aside, I thought you could only "license" or "defend" your trademark if a rival company decided to market things in your area or business but as far as I see it, he's suing/threatening anyone using the word "stealth" in any context. I haven't seen his company make any military bombers lately, or movie bombs for that matter. Someone tell me I'm not being outrageous in my claims )even though IANAL)... oh wait. -TX297

  5. Re:hmm... on Forbes Lists Top Corporate Hate Web Sites · · Score: 1

    SBC is covered under the Verizon chapter concerning the 'Bell' companies (Ever wonder what the B stands for?). While it's an indirect link, it's covered.

  6. Re:Text from Gizmodo: on Allofmp3.com Wins Court Case · · Score: 1
    The U.S. Code (read a2) allows importation of phonorecords for personal and private use, not for distribution and the retail environment. The Code says that CDs in your bag intented for personal use are completely legal (paraphrasing here) but as soon as you have intent to sell, or you do sell without prior permission of the copyright owner, you're breaking the law.

  7. Possible workaround... on The Return Of The Pop-Up Ad · · Score: 1

    I'm not familiar with making add-ons for FireFox (or any other alternative browser for that matter), but would it be possible to make sure that the "fake" click described in BWS's post doesn't activate a window by the browser only letting a "click" pop up a window if the mouse has actually been clicked?

    But then, advertisers will start coming up with double-barreled links - a link brings up a popup and the actual link. At the end of the day it's revenue vs what people want and, as long as there is money involved, screw the consumer (from the companies' point of view).
