  1. Re:A bit off topic on Your Data and Cyber Business After You're Gone · · Score: 1

    Wow, I think I married your friend's sister.

  2. Re:Encrypted hints? on Your Data and Cyber Business After You're Gone · · Score: 1

    Kind of like putting one's will in a Geocache?

  3. Re:/.'ed already. on The Mathematics of Futurama · · Score: 1

    So what you are saying is that by measuring the /. effect, you are changing it (by contributing to it)?

  4. Re:Bugtraq submission on Linksys WiFi Gateway Remote Attack Risk Discovered · · Score: 1

    Hold on... The work around is to set up port forwarding to non existant hosts. But then they are complaining that when you do this, you can't access the device from the WAN side? ISN'T THAT THE WHOLE POINT???

  5. Re:How about this... on Japanese Anime Industry In Danger Of Fragmentation · · Score: 1

    From what I read, "The Plant" was not one of his best attempts.

  6. Re:This Comment May Be Slightly Off Topic on Fix a Troubled Mac · · Score: 1

    I agree. Another problem with tech books, is that the systems it addresses change faster than the author can revise the book.

    Not to mention the fact that many "do it yourselfers" get in over their head in projects, and end up paying more for someone to come in and fix the the previous wrong work than would have costed if they had called the professional in the first place. Not to say it can't be done, but a man needs to know his limitations.

  7. Re:3.5-7 Seems a little light on "Buffalo Spammer" Gets 3.5 to 7 Years · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't think 7 years is light for an identity theft case. I do think 7 years is light for a repeat offendor though.

  8. Re:How about a more reasonable deterrent on 'Pirate Act' Would Shift Copyright Civil Suits To DoJ · · Score: 1

    How do you make money from uploading your own files? I've got to check this out.

    Oh, and you reminded me of something a friend of mine (who is a police officer) does. If someone asks for a warning, he tells them, "Here's your warning...if you do it again, I'll write you another ticket."

  9. Re:Like building a plane on Linus Adopts Enhanced Tracking Process · · Score: 1

    So are you saying we need EULAs in Linux? Scary thought.

  10. Re:Hmmm on North American Corporate Privacy Comparison · · Score: 1

    Then consider the fact that Canada has more privacy laws. Now if Canadian businesses thought it was just the right thing to do, why would they need all of those laws?

  11. Here we go again United States vs. Canada on North American Corporate Privacy Comparison · · Score: 1

    I would like to know something. Why are us in the United States trying so hard to distance ourselves from Canadians, and vise versa? We're all Americans. And now we need some study to contrast something as meaningfull as privacy habits of COMPANIES (that was sarcastic by the way).

    "I think it shows that the U.S. view of privacy is more a security-centric view, while in Canada we have a more European view that says we need to protect against abuse from authorized users," said Peter Hope-Tindall, a privacy consultant in Toronto.

    Another thing, why do Canadians try so hard to be "like Europe", and why does the United States try so hard to be "different" from Europe?

  12. Re:May make sense on Worst Explanation From Tech Support? · · Score: 1

    Over here in the states our locomotives carry sand that is poured onto the track in order to improve the train's traction.

  13. Re:Aqua-planing ? on Road Marker Marks You · · Score: 1

    That is terrible. You can barely make it to the next gas station on a tank of gas.

    My Jeep Grand Cherokee gets at least 342,720 rods to the hogshead.

  14. Re:Don't ticket me - control my car's max speed on Road Marker Marks You · · Score: 1

    None the less, Toledo, OH has many intersections with camera systems.

  15. Re:Aqua-planing ? on Road Marker Marks You · · Score: 1

    A cookie is just a cookie, but newtons are fruit and cake!

  16. Re:Great Tech - But I have a problem... on Manure-Powered Generators On The Rise · · Score: 1

    PG&E should have to pay me for pumping energy into the grid if they turn around and sell said energy to my neighbor.

    Doesn't have to be a law, because it is good business for a power company. The price power companies pay you for the energy your solar panels are pushing into their grid is a LOT less than they would pay from a regular power plant.

    Ya Moftary!

  18. Re:If you don't like the terms of the iTMS service on FairPlay v2 Reversed, Playfair Back Online · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Mod parent up.

    The idea of intellectual property is the product of the RIAA and MPAA's attempt to strip usage rights from consumers.

    In reality, there is no such thing as intellectual property because in order to truly own something, you have to be able to control it, which is not possible with information.

  19. Re:Taking it to extremes on PowerBook Disassembly Guide · · Score: 1

    I agree. However, the way people confront their significant others can often encourage this type of dishonesty.

  20. Re:Too bad... on Comcast Fires TechTV Staff · · Score: 1

    I don't think the questions or callers are scripted, but I do think the answers are scripted. You can tell that they are reading from a teleprompter when answering questions.

    Not that its a bad thing though.

  21. Re:more money fleeced from TOS fans on Star Trek TOS DVD Box Sets Forthcoming · · Score: 1

    Damnit muffin, I'm a doctor, not cashier

  22. Oh really? on NRF Calls SCO's Claims 'Meritless' · · Score: 0, Interesting

    SCO's stock, meanwhile, appears to have taken a small dive from this news.

    That's strange, because it says the stock is up.

    Change: 0.11 (1.79%)

  24. Re:Troll Posts asside, Apple seems stupid here... on Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" Preview at WWDC · · Score: 1

    Except now things will start requiring 10.4, which means you won't be able to do squat with 10.3, unless you run old software.

    At least with windows, a lot of programs still run on 2000, or even 98 at that.

  25. Re:Nothing to worry about on Walmart Begins Rollout of RFID and EPC Tags · · Score: 1

    Actually, in America it seems like the conservatives are becoming more conservative, while the liberals are becoming more liberal. Which is why I am now a card-carrying Whig.
