    Yea, you have the right to sell it. But they have the right to turn it into a coaster before you do, if you agree to the license terms. If you don't agree to the license terms you aren't installing it anyways, so you can resell it.

    How are these "revelations"? A massive web-app provider HAS LOGS? No way! They might even do analysis of them for RESEARCH PURPOSES? How dare they! And if they are legally required to disclose them, THEY DO? The evil of it!

    What? Reference for when they have sold identity information please.

    And if you think being an ad provider makes them Evil you need to take a serious look at your system of ethics.

    It was a huge database of just links to websites, with no other data available for those sites. And the New York Times article I read made it sound like he had quite a few adsense ad panes going on.

    If it is happening on your own computer and you are simply documenting your experiences, that should make you a witness. That is totally different from prying into other networks and logging information for the sake of investigating others.

    Well, hopefully the filings by Case Number 162983070 will lead to them being tried for the felonies they have committed. Their testimony is not needed, the burden of proof can be easily satisfied using public records of the cases in which they have provided evidence.

  14. Re:Gotta take SafeNet's Side on this one on University of Michigan Student Wants SafeNet Prosecuted · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Anyone can testify in a court of law so long as they have some assured credibility. If they "were there", that is credible (eye witness). Otherwise, they should have to be an expert witness with some sort of credentials - something to lose if they are bullshitting. They are CLAIMING to be expert witnesses, and at the EXACT same time (in a different concurrent suit) claiming they do not have the responsibilities of an expert.

    This may be funny, but it also makes a good point. What do you expect anyone to do about it? "My Windows 1.3 keeps bugging me to update even though I clicked never remind me. Please issue a patch for a minor bug on a dated unsupported version of your software because I'm obstinate and refuse to update"

  21. Re:Hey, Mozilla: Learn what "Never" means on Mozilla Releases Firefox 3.1 Alpha 2 · · Score: 1

    Part very insightful, part off the mark. Vintage software puts you at high risk for old forgotten vulnerabilities (every vulnerability in history is still getting spammed out there in the wild). However it is true that the biggest, epidemic scale infections are coming from retard-targeted spam emails (Storm botnet spreads almost purely through this, with estimates in the millions of infected hosts).

    Also, about dumping downloads in a bad place, older browsers do this too. The difference is there is a prompt to blindly click "save as... OK" to, instead of it being automatic. Uninformed users will still do the same thing though.

    Read the interview, the point is for it be like "youtube for fps" kind of, so there is absolutely no barrier to entry. You just make a login and click a button, instead of paying for the game, installing, installing mods, finding servers.

    I like the idea. It will help preven the "game age death" that happens with so many games I love.
