  1. Re:I approve on Cell Phone Jamming Devices Enjoy an Increase In Popularity · · Score: 1

    well played sir

  2. Re:I approve on Cell Phone Jamming Devices Enjoy an Increase In Popularity · · Score: 5, Insightful

    30 years ago no one had cell phones... things havent gotten THAT much more important in 30 years

  3. Re:it's a mole! on LulzSec Leader Sabu Unmasked, Arrested and Caught Collaborating · · Score: 1

    I disagree, That simply means he can be unethical because he knows the legal side of it

  4. perhaps they simply believe that the government should not be regulating every last aspect of our lives? not to defend lawyers but plain and simple, 90% of science research these days is abused by the government to instill extra regulation fees taxes and fines.

  5. Re:Sue the lawyers on After Legal Fight, NCI Researchers Publish Study Linking Diesel Exhaust, Cancer · · Score: 1

    That would be the industries point, Sure everyone knows how bad it is, HOWEVER until those super smart scientists put it in a journal, its only what WE know, not what science knows, at least in the eyes of the law i believe but IANAL

  6. Re:tin foil on FTC Attorney Joins Microsoft · · Score: 1

    it seems as if my attempt at comedy has failed. Clearly it looks as if there will be some potential ethical violations, if they arent in writing they are in reason.

  7. tin foil on FTC Attorney Joins Microsoft · · Score: 1

    perhaps he was never really working for the FTC to begin with, in fact, I dont even believe that this man exists!

  8. Re:What's a smartphone anyway? on Nearly Half of American Adults Are Smartphone Owners · · Score: 1

    really? the original enV was marketed as a feature phone from the very beginning and i got that if IIRC around 05 or 06

  9. Re:What's a smartphone anyway? on Nearly Half of American Adults Are Smartphone Owners · · Score: 2

    Actually tony, They call those "feature phones" these days, not a "dumb phone" but not a "smart phone"

  10. Re:46% eh? on Nearly Half of American Adults Are Smartphone Owners · · Score: 1

    since when is 46% the majority?? has there been some new math findings i am unaware of?

  11. Re:Are smartphones making us dumb? on Nearly Half of American Adults Are Smartphone Owners · · Score: 1

    you arent too far off, I dont know about others, but I cant even remember my own house phone number (although i know my grandparents number that they have had since the 60s)

    plain and simple, there is no need to memorize strings of numbers when a phone will hold them all for me, and this was pre smart phone just simply cell phone

  12. puff puff on Star Wars Conceptual Artist Ralph McQuarrie Dies at 82 · · Score: 1

    pass

  13. Re:It's not just the textbooks on Math Textbooks a Textbook Example of Bad Textbooks · · Score: 1

    Not just that, But math is not history, math books dont NEED to be reprinted every few years in the way that other subjects need to be rewritten (im talking grade school)

  14. Re:Disagree on How Steve Jobs Patent-Trolled Bill Gates · · Score: 1

    and which of those technologies is still in use as opposed to the alternatives? thats like saying betamax was better than VHS, look at how great sony is....

  15. Re:Privelege on Photographing Police: Deletion Is Not Forever · · Score: 1

    to be fair, I personally find both bush and obama to be to the left of me as a libertarian

  16. Re: Judges ruling on Photographing Police: Deletion Is Not Forever · · Score: 1

    simple, via civil unions or commonmarriage laws (where you are living together for XX years and therefore the state deems you dependant on each other)

    marriage, as a term should be strictly religious IMO and the state should not even be involved, that way if a man and a woman want to be "married" they can be, in a church, if a gay couple wants to be "married" they can, somewhere other than a church. if 2 friends want to share a house together than they can be "married"

    by married, i mean get the same benifits as a married couple does today, not the actual term "married"

  17. Re:Would you kindly... on RIAA CEO Hopes SOPA Protests Were a "One-Time Thing" · · Score: 1, Insightful

    seriously, no one "lets me" keep my guns except for me

  18. This is the first I am hearing about this on Publisher Pulls Supports; 'Research Works Act' Killed · · Score: 3, Insightful

    and it is good to hear it is dead, but on the other hand, the man pulling the strings will most likely be pushing for something else.

    weill be a good idea to keep an eye on what this guy/group pushing this is up to

  19. Re:Profit & Lies on YouTube Identifies Birdsong As Copyrighted Music · · Score: 1

    I do believe there is one step missing that will avoid this from happening in the future. Simply have real humans check out all automated hits before the takedowns are sent to youtube. I dont expect humans to watch every last video posted, I DO however expect them to review every video they claim they own.

    Perhaps we should set a law up where a false takedown results in a 5000 dollar fine, paid to the person who posted the video you tried to claim you own. I bet the false takedowns would stop REAL fast.

  20. Re:Profit & Lies on YouTube Identifies Birdsong As Copyrighted Music · · Score: 1

    Simply put once the automation does find a hit, It should be required to be viewed by humans BEFORE the takedown is sent to youtube. There is no excuse for what has happened in the first place if this was policy from the beginning. The worst part is that rumblefish claims that it had people listen to it and they claim it was copy-written. Clearly no one did listen to it, or if they did you need to find better employees that know the difference between a bird and an instrument.

  21. Re:Turn my phone into HTPC on Canonical Puts Ubuntu On Android Smartphones · · Score: 2

    wouldnt a wireless connection make more sense and have the phone act as the remote?

  22. Re:Read the article ... on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 1

    MY question is who decided it was hovering over the highway, the hunters, the activists, an unpartial 3rd party. Plain and simply if the activists were crazy enough to send in a drone, they are likely to lie about where it was to make them look better. not saying they did just that its possible.

  23. Re:Of course the rich should give to charity on Tech Billionaire-Backed Charter School Under Fire In Chicago · · Score: 1

    You mean preparing students for what they will see when they get out of school is not right??
