  1. Save your reciept ? on Sony Settles With FTC Over Rootkits · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Under the settlement, Sony BMG must allow consumers to exchange affected CDs bought before 31 December 2006, and reimburse them up to $150 (£76) to repair damage to their computers.

    I understand why stores require reciepts to return stuff, but when it comes to CDs which are non-returnable once that plastic wrap is taken off, who the hell bothers to save the reciept ?
    How are they going to know when the CD was purchased ?
  2. Re:Dangerous precedent being set on Linden Labs Sends "Permit-and-Proceed" Letter · · Score: 5, Funny

    I have a better sense of humor than this feeble attempt at attracting attention.

    Not according to todays Slashdot moderators you don't.

    Around here, a sense of humor seems to be defined as answering the question,

    "What do you call 10,000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean ?"

    with "A good start !", not "Evidence !".

    There's a joke to be had including,

    Doesn't that defeat the purpose of being part of a corporation ?

  8. Re:$35K? How about $350 million? on Cingular, Others Fined For Using Adware · · Score: 1

    The 35K is to cover investigative costs, ect.

    That pales in comparison to the business they've just lost by getting caught with their pants down like this though.

    Exclusive contract for the iPhone ?
    I don't want an iPhone if I have to use a carrier that puts adware on my stuff.
    Is that why it's not going to allow 3rd party applications on it ?
    They don't want me finding the adware they've put on it ?

    This little blunder raises alot of questions.

    I suppose new stuff just magicly appears all rock solid like, it's not like it needs to be tested in a real world setting before everyone else starts to use it, right ?
