  1. What? on Film Documents Software Creation · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It seems like everything today is being turned into a film or reality show. Not everything is exciting, especially coding a new project. In fact, that's probably one of the least exciting things they could have focused on.

  2. mod parent up on California Class Action Suit Sony Over Rootkit DRM · · Score: 2, Informative

    The summary is completely misleading and would have a casual reader believe that the Attorney General of California is suing Sony. This is merely a class action lawsuit by some lawyer on behalf of California citizens.

  3. So basically on Amazon to Sell Books by Page, Display Books You Own · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They're going to make you pay for what you would otherwise do for free at a bookstore (read parts of the book before you buy).

  4. Re:Yeah, that makes sense on FCC Extends VoIP 911 Deadline · · Score: 1

    Don't be an idiot.

    This hard deadline is the only way to force companies to comply with the rules. People are now *forced* to know about the dangers of their service. Without this deadline, people won't care because they are lazy by nature. They won't bother signing a piece of paper and returning it if it doesn't matter. This hard deadline makes them care.

    Sometimes it is necessary to have a heavy hand when you are talking about people's lives. Cutting off their service temporarily until people acknowledge that they know about the problems will save more lives than cutting it off will potentially cost.

  5. Re:Guise? on Lockheed Martin Hardware to Protect NYC Transit · · Score: 5, Informative
    To correct some of your information:

    C. They worked. They identified all the perpetrators in the first attack, and in the second failed attack, led to their arrests.

    Photo identification left at the scene of the crime identified the bombers. The photos from the cameras merely acted as auxiliary information. You can read the whole chain of events here.

  6. Re:Guise? on Lockheed Martin Hardware to Protect NYC Transit · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Actually, the London bombers were first identified by their identification cards found at the scene of the crime, not the camera footage. The camera footage was merely used as auxillary information.

    Besides, if a person is going to blow himself up, how will cameras help at all? It surely isn't going to deter them.
