  1. Re:what i want to do is on How To Stop Businesses Storing SSNs Indefinitely? · · Score: 1

    I want out!

    What do you think this is, The Matrix?!

  2. Re:I'd prefer a transcript on Firefox Plugin Liberates Paywalled Court Records · · Score: 1

    I'm fairly certain Google is working on that!

  3. Re:Aren't they available through FOIA? on Firefox Plugin Liberates Paywalled Court Records · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think it makes sense. Instead of spending tax dollars on something very few people (in contrast to the total number of taxpayers,) it's paid with by a per-use fee. If anything there's probably more tax-paid government services that could be handled this way.

  4. Re:IE8 Runs Horribly on My Computer on MS — Dropping IE6 Support "Not an Option" · · Score: 1

    When I installed XP over 2000, I upgraded right from 6 to 8 and hated it.

    Wh..what? That means you had to have just upgraded to XP some time this year..

  5. Re:I have it under 50$ on US Cell Phone Plans Among World's Most Expensive · · Score: 1

    about starting a class-action lawsuit against them

    Yeah.. good luck with that.

  6. Re:Stupid prices on US Cell Phone Plans Among World's Most Expensive · · Score: 1

    Free incoming calls (anyone who calls you). The $30 is to pay for the service and a certain number of outgoing minutes (which he said he doesn't know how many)

  7. Re:GPL Fanatics on GPLv2 Libraries — Is There a Point? · · Score: 1

    You don't get a jury in a civil case.

  8. Re:Still failing to grasp their audience on Music Labels Working On Digital Album Format · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My (favorite band) has always managed to make their best songs not-singles. Usually the singles are the ones I -don't- like off their albums. I'd rather they keep making full albums, especially so when I go to see them live it's not like I paid $60 to listen to the radio.

  9. ONI on Yemenis Should Be Incensed At Websense · · Score: 1

    When I first read the summary, I was thinking, what does the Office of Naval Intelligence have to do with this?

  10. Re:Hogwash on Chrome OS Designed To Start Microsoft Death Spiral · · Score: 4, Informative

    And not only that, but the entire Xbox 360 platform would have to die off with it, since all development is done in Windows and Visual Studio.

  11. Re:How does this effect the OTHER companies? on Encyclopedia Britannica Loses Information-Retrieval Patent Ruling · · Score: 1

    Surely you mean æffect!

  12. Re:I believe almost every free software I use has. on Examining Software Liability In the Open Source Community · · Score: 1

    You should really change your MOTD to something more interesting.

  13. Re:And? on Bing Search Tainted By Pro-Microsoft Results · · Score: 4, Insightful

    But it's not a search engine, it's a decision engine! It's obviously deciding that Macs and Linux are more expensive than Windows, and tuning the results appropriately!

  14. Re:Comcast on Comcast the Latest ISP To Try DNS Hijacking · · Score: 1

    As much as it might seem like it is, (and as is likely that Comcast is still lying anyway), this isn't an issue of net neutrality. You're using their DNS servers as a service, and their DNS servers are what is behaving this way. Change your DNS server, something you're fully in your power to do, and so is any home user, and you're set. Or call/visit their site and opt-out (for real, no cookie BS).

  15. Re:Did anyone notice the cost? on Teen Killed At Chinese Internet Addiction Camp · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't think 7 is a binary number. Er, a number involved in binary.

  16. Re:16GB? on Windows 7 RTM Reviewed & Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    The contents of WinSxS folder are mostly hardlinks, and the Properties dialog doesn't correctly show the disk-use size on Vista. http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/archive/2008/11/19/disk-space.aspx

  17. Re:Did anyone else think... on Large Hadron Collider Struggling · · Score: 3, Funny

    Now I just have a picture in my head of the whole thing not working because somebody tripped over the cable connecting the whole thing to the standard wall outlet..

  18. Re:Refreshing Change on FBI Nabs Chicago Transit Authority Radio Hacker · · Score: 1

    the whole thing propagated worldwide.

    Radios? Propagated? Get it? *snicker*

  19. Re:Bullshit on The Ethics of Selling GPLed Software For the iPhone · · Score: 1

    Except if Apple's app approval process worked (correctly, at all, whatever) they would reject the 'duplicate' submission. This doesn't have anything to do with the GPL though. At worst, you should be able to get a developer's license (or just jailbreak your phone) and run the code without putting it up in the store.

  20. Re:Yes on The Ethics of Selling GPLed Software For the iPhone · · Score: 1

    Knowing Apple, if they found out, they'd probably pull you from the App Store.

  21. Re:Not-for-profit on California Student Arrested For Console Hacking · · Score: 3, Informative

    Reverse engineering is against the DMCA.

    Woah, I think you need to re-read your DMCA.

  22. Re:PSP is MIPS on Android Applications Soon To Run On MIPS32 Chips · · Score: 1

    That, is a very good point. Though people using the PSP are used to the on-screen keyboard, that might prove more of an impediment to Android.

  23. Re:Umm What? on 20 Years of MS Word and Why It Should Die a Swift Death · · Score: 1

    It's scary to think I could have signed up years before I did, and I'd still only have a 6 digit ID. Of course, we'll have 7's for an eternity, now.

  24. Re:It might die, but not swiftly on 20 Years of MS Word and Why It Should Die a Swift Death · · Score: 1

    You're very right, as sometimes it takes some searching to find things that were well-known before.. but as someone else pointed out in another comment, a good number of feature requests were for stuff that was already in there. For example, I didn't know the Research stuff for citations was in Word until the Research ribbon tab in 2007.

  25. Re:PSP is MIPS on Android Applications Soon To Run On MIPS32 Chips · · Score: 1

    The Eee 701 doesn't have a touchscreen either, but Android was ported to it.
