  1. Re:Police is investigating it too on EU Says Google Street View Violates Privacy · · Score: 1

    Assuming they have the cameras at a level people might walk or drive past at, Street View IS an observer driving past given locations. The ONLY difference is that the camera's observation is stored electronically and a person's is stored chemically. Either way, the information can be shared with a little coaxing ( a reason to recall the information) and a proper output method (a very good artist's hand or image display program) from long term storage.

    DVR? That wouldn't help at all. NBC has been time delaying tons of events, and doesn't list different events separately in their programming. It's a giant 3 to 6 hour block of "Winter Olympics", with no distinction on events shown.

    You really should understand that money is key to America. To keep someone from doing something again, you hit them in the purse. If you try the executive of a company for embezzling a million dollars, and send him to jail for 6 months, he'll come out and do it again. If you seize all of his assets, he's not going to risk giving up a multi-million dollar lifestyle for a second time.

    Sexting is kind of a misnomer. It's taking a nude picture, sexual or not, and texting it. Some pictures that fall under the label would fall on each side of the line.

  22. Re:How hard can it be? on "Limited Edition" SSD Has Fastest Storage Speed · · Score: 1

    *) This really is stupid: 256GB OCZ Z-Drive p84 PCI-Express is $2420, but I can get four of these 60GB OCZ Vertex SATA at $308 each for a total of $1232, or about half. Most motherboards have 4 built-in ports with RAID capability, so I don't even need a dedicated controller!

    Let me just point out, I bought 2 SSD drives and used my onboard RAID, only to find out that I was limited to 1 PCIe lane due to the onboard controller's design, and thus was running at the speed of a single one of my SSDs instead of 2, realizing no performance gains from RAID0.

    Nearly nobody will complain about this. It's a huge temperature difference which you won't get by talking on the phone for one minute while you're outside getting frostbite, then hopping inside to an unusually humid indoor environment.

  24. Re:Read the next line in the env. specs, people. on iPhone's Liquid Sensors Can Be Triggered By Wintertime Use · · Score: 1

    You cannot get condensation without violating the clause that says "NONCONDENSING" next to the humidity range of 5%-95%. It doesn't matter if you're inside the 5 - 95 range, the water condensed and therefore is outside of their specifications. I don't agree with their doing this, but it's pretty damned clear that they'd be enforcing exactly the line GP referred to.

  25. Re:Uhhhhh... Condensation? on iPhone's Liquid Sensors Can Be Triggered By Wintertime Use · · Score: 1

    The specified humidity, however, is labeled as "non condensing". It's outside of your warranty's coverage, just not because of the line these guys are focusing on.
