  1. Re:Yeah on Can Apple + AT&T Shut Down iPhone Unlockers? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Apple is already laughing all the way to the bank, selling phones that cost $200 to produce for triple that price.

    Here is the real one:

    It is a good thing General Electric weren't doing business in Nazi Germany: "We had no choice: people needed their lampshades."

    Inquiring minds wish to know: what kind of a machine from an American startup would China pay "100's of millions" for?

    There are terrorists that call themselves Christian, yes. There are sick people in every religion I guess, but that's not the point. On average, however, a non-Christian (particularly a young Mouslime man) is a much more likely terror perpetrator.

    And since when did the US Constitution apply to terror foreigners in a foreign country?

    Ann Coulter is an entertainer, whatever was done to her butt does not affect me in the least.

  5. Your sig on System Admin's Unit of Production? · · Score: 0, Troll

    If you save 2 mins a day over 200 days in a year that you drive, over some 50 years that you drive, you just saved two full weeks of your live by passing 'that guy.'

    And yet Rosenbergs are probably up in heaven right now, sitting at the right hand of God with his saints, for saving billions of lives.

    Make children pay for the sins comitted by their ancestors 700 years ago... That's the essence of a Muslime or Jew worldview right there.

    There is one true way to fix this mess: their countries should be invaded, their leaders shot, their priests jailed and reeducated, and their populace converted to Christianity.

  11. Oops, above is incorrect on iPhone Freed From AT&T, Twice · · Score: 1

    Apparently DMCPA excludes cellphones (though it still applies to game consoles). Should have finished reading TFA before posting the above, sorry.

  12. DMCA. on iPhone Freed From AT&T, Twice · · Score: 1

    I am pretty sure DMC(P)A might be broad enough to make what he did illegal.

    With this in mind, congrats to the kid. He'll be looking at doing hard time in some Federal pound-in-the-ass prison over this if ATT and Apple complain.

  13. Re:RFC-Ignorant.org on DynDNS Drops Non-Delivery Reports · · Score: 1

    You are being smart about NDRs: they do not work for you, so you filter them out. If another user needs them, they pay attention to them.

    NDR ban sounds like a solution in search of a problem which will hurt legitimate users if this thing catches on.

  14. Re:RFC-Ignorant.org on DynDNS Drops Non-Delivery Reports · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one here that likes NDRs? If some important email is not delivered, I would much prefer that a sender is notified about that failure. Wouldn't you?

    Outright NDR ban is just plain stupid, akin to curing headaches with guillotine. If they must do something, why not place a cap and delay on the NDR traffic.

    Parent is absolutely correct.

    If you lived through the Civil Rights and Vietnam times, you know how stupid GP sounds.

    For one, pissed-off citizens are no match for US military: see Kent State or Little Rock examples. You know how much damage your 12-guage is going to do to a Bradley? might scratch off some paint, but that's about it. Civil uprising in America is a non-starter these days.

    Parent is also correct about the Democrats: it took two Republican presidents: Nixon and Ford, to clean up the decades-old mess started and maintained by the democrats.

    All credit goes to Nixon. As much as you liberals hate the man, he is still the greatest President. And before you go on to mention his morals, he was voted in as the President, not a preacher (same for Clinton).

    [...]Among the technology companies founded by foreign entrepreneurs are Sun Microsystems Inc., Intel Corp and Google Inc.

    The study pointed out the contributions foreign entrepreneurs make to the American economy. It found that 25 percent of the companies founded in those 10 years had at least one senior executive a founder, chief executive, president or chief technology officer who was born outside the United States. The study was based on telephone surveys of 2,054 companies. In 2005 immigrant entrepreneurs companies generated $52 billion in sales.

  21. Which flavor listerine? on Student Finds 5000-Year-Old Chewing Gum · · Score: 1

    Listerine also has alcohol in it (the yellow one does, at any rate). On the other hand, green listerine has sorbitol which isn't present in the yellow one. But then again, the blue listerine has zinc chloride. To be on the safe side, use multiple flavors at once, then some Scope to be sure.

    However, listerine isn't easily re-usable while this treesap gum could be...

  22. Wiretap law? on Skype Blames Microsoft Patch Tuesday for Outage · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Given that this baby was steamrolled through the Congress two weeks ago, the outage seems coincidental.

    Consider that Skype could not tell the users of the real reason even if they wanted to: the law mandates that the forced cooperation be kept in secret.

    I am not sure why Russia would want to join WTO at this point, anyway.

    It's not like the United States would lift the steel, lumber, and enriched uranim tariffs (check with Canada's softwood lumber producers about that).
