  1. Re:Web XP is where it is at! on Web 3.0 · · Score: 1

    The other problem is that it's uptime has been reduced to 80%. Surely that should be sufficient. Just make sure and download the 3 updates a day and reboot.

  2. Re:Fascinating new development! on MSIE To Adopt Firefox Feed Icon · · Score: 3, Funny

    Another demonstration of how 2 departments can not effectively communicate with each other.

  3. Re:Why did everything MP3... on The Podjacker Threat · · Score: 1

    Why does everyone have to try and put a Band-Aid on the whole situation? :snicker: :hides:

  4. Windows Firewall on Most Home PC Users Lack Security · · Score: 1

    So people aren't using the Windows Firewall? It's included so it's gotta be great. Microsoft will even install it for you. Sorry Mac and Linux users, not Windows Firewall for you...

    Is this your solution to fix Social Security?

    Mr. Case dramatically changes the way Mr. Goto's code looks. Mr. Goto sues...

  8. Re:Examples: on Playing CDs a Privilege Not A Right · · Score: 1

    This argument is flawed in that you are not taking intent into consideration.

    Case MCXVIII:
    I own a pencil. I can break it, chew it, eat it, throw it at the ceiling and get it to stick, stick it up my butt, and stab someone with it.

    Breaking it is OK.
    Chewing it or eating it is OK (although I might have some digestion problems).
    Throwing it at the ceiling is fine provided it's my ceiling or it doesn't ruin someone's ceiling without their permission. But, we get into a problem if I don't have PERMISSION.
    Sticking up my butt would be alright but that's just WRONG...
    AND finally stabbing someone with it would be causing harm to someone else.

    The key argument here is intent and harm. There is no contract signed when I buy a CD (removing case III - traffic law and driver's license, IV - can you even buy a wetland? if so, I'm sure there's something written, and VI - obviously this is something pertaining to land ownership and I would guess that there may be something written for agriculturally zoned property). If there is no foul intent that causes harm (potential or actual) or misuse, then whatever you do would be fine.
