    He just hired a team a few weeks ago.

  2. Re:Ask and ye shall receive. on Aquarium Uses Eel Powered Christmas Lights · · Score: 1

    Putting a SALT WATER eel in fresh water isn't exactly a nice thing to do.

  3. Re:No ex post facto laws on Jailtime For Jailbreaking · · Score: 1

    for the sole purpose of lawfully connecting to a wireless telephone communication network.

    That sure sounds like exactly what he was doing.

    He wasn't, he was doing it to sell them for profit.

  4. Re:Perspective, kthxbai on Facebook's 'Like This' Button Is Tracking You · · Score: 4, Informative

    Even if you're not going to read the article, could you at least read the summary? Even if you don't use Facebook, you're still being tracked.

  5. Re:Now That's Bizarre on Man Loses Millions In Bizarre Virus-Protection Scam · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'd say in this case, he wasn't paranoid ENOUGH.

    I have here a glass of dihydrogen monoxide just like they've had, and it can be YOURS for the low price of $60!

  7. Re:Wikileaks is a good yet naive concept. on Human Rights Groups Join Criticism of WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    They need an American with Top Secret Clearance to work with Julian Assange on certain documents.

    So, get the people who want absolutely NONE of the data released to tell you what they don't want released? That will be productive.

  8. Re:Illegal Search? on Officials Use Google Earth To Find Unlicensed Pools · · Score: 1

    Why should it be if the image can be taken without intruding on, or even in the space over, your property? If you want privacy from above, put a covering blocking the view from above.

  9. Re:Why not use your own panic button? on Australian Police Ask Facebook For Police Alarm Button · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That might be useful, if 911 was the number to call in Australia for emergencies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/000_Emergency

  10. Re:Real World on Later School Start For Teenagers Brings Drop In Absenteeism · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't the sports and various clubs come SECONDARY to learning?

  11. Re:Why the need of an addy? on FCC Asks You To Test Your Broadband Speeds · · Score: 1

    If they were caught doing that, and even assuming that they didn't have charges pressed for fraud, Comcast is slated to have to deal with the FCC approximately FOREVER. They would be wise to not try and piss them off with a stupid stunt like that.

  12. Re:Not an informed choice. on One Quarter of Germans Happy To Have Chip Implants · · Score: 1

    Yes, but the cell phone is much easier to use than the arm after leaving it.

  13. Re:This is exactly the spirit of the law on Overzealous Enforcement Means Even Legit Music Blogs Deleted · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They went above and beyond following both the letter and the spirit of the law. They had the label's permission to use it and songs has been taken down before the complaint was even filed. The labels attacked part of their own distribution method for something that would have been invalid even if they had not had permission!

    Sturgeon just had low standards.

  16. Re:who is REALLY Crazy on Pat Robertson Says Haitians Made a Pact WithThe Devil · · Score: 1
    Interesting. As was mentioned above:

    ..says CNN - "Kate Ramsey, a Caribbean scholar at the University of Miami, says that the "pact to the devil" that evangelical Christian Pat Robertson suggested led to Tuesday's earthquake is a 19th century "fabrication" meant to discredit its slave rebellion and Vodou religion. "

    - http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/01/14/haiti.updates/index.html

    When you say "these people", do you mean the missionaries or the Hatians? Are these missionaries lying or somehow confused? Is Kate Ramsey in error? Has the fabrication of the 19th century managed to become the reality of the 21st?

  17. Re:No Problem... on Extinct Ibex Resurrected By Cloning · · Score: 1

    All extinctions not involving supernatural forces are natural ones. Just because we shoot them all, it doesn't mean there wasn't a natural extinction.

  18. Re:Culture vs Consumerism on Treading the Fuzzy Line Between Game Cloning and Theft · · Score: 1

    Unlike patents and copyrights, trademarks are only lost if they're not defended.

  22. Re:Hackers can be pen testers on Hackers (Or Pen-Testers) Hit Credit Unions With Malware On CD · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why are they prohibited from doing so? Many languages may have official language regulators, but English does not. What makes you more authoritative than them?

  23. Re:Hackers can be pen testers on Hackers (Or Pen-Testers) Hit Credit Unions With Malware On CD · · Score: 1

    Just because "minute" means 60 seconds, it is not prohibited from gaining other valid meanings.

  24. Re:Hackers can be pen testers on Hackers (Or Pen-Testers) Hit Credit Unions With Malware On CD · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't care what percentage of society is cluless in this regard even if it is 99+%. I am just proud to not be one of them. A large percentage of the populace thinks they run the best, most secure OS in the world; indeed the only one. Did they become right by way of their mass delusion?

    Considering that language is just a bunch of grunts(spoken) or squiggles(written) with agreed upon meanings...yes. As long as the meaning the speaker intended is imparted to the listener, they served their purpose.

  25. Re:Antitrust avoidance on Microsoft Acknowledges Linux Threat To Windows · · Score: 0, Troll

    Astroturf drivel aside, using $ as a letter still makes you look bad.
