  1. Service Packs? on Apple Charges For 802.11n, Blames Accounting Law · · Score: 1

    So will Apple start charging for service packs and security fixes as well? I read the article, and they try to differentiate between features and fixes, but when you're resorting to blaming SOX for this, and saying it's because you want to avoif the appearance of not having finished delivering the product, what's the difference between a security fix and a new feature?

  2. Re:So is it illegal too... on Is It Illegal To Disclose a Web Vulnerability? · · Score: 1

    Instead of a hardware store, what if it's a bank? What if it's the bank you keep your money in? And what if they ignored you when you brought it to their attention? It's likely you'd put your money in a different bank, but would it be illegal to warn friends and neighbors of the issue?

  3. Re:dd /dev/random on Memories of a Media Card · · Score: 1

    And risk the wrath of the RIAA?!?

  4. Re:Web Site of Lawyers on Wiimote Straps Result in Class Action Suit · · Score: 1

    Good deal. I posted a complaint. What happens when a very large portion of the "class" doesn't want to participate in the lawsuit?

  6. I'm not falling for it... on WGA Turning Off PCs in the Fall? · · Score: 1

    You know, I also heard that if I send an e-mail to a bunch of people, Microsoft will be able to track it and give me $20 for each person that reads it. Because Microsoft is all-powerful and all-knowning and can do anything as long as it involves a computer. BS So my OS is going to spontaneously self-destruct because of something that's not installed? So am I to believe this ability has been built into the operating system from day one? How is Microsoft going to just "make" WGA mandatory? If the logic isn't on the PC already, then anyone who isn't installing Windows Geniune Advantage is also not installing the logic that would make WGA mandatory.
