  3. Re:GPL is not freedom. It is restriction. on You Can't Oppose Copyright and Support Open Source · · Score: 1

    The purpose of programming is to create something that performs a meaningful task. If an individual who spent their own time and effort coding to accomplish a task. I think they should have the right to do what they want with it. It should be as simple as I want to be paid for my time and effort so you can use this program which you did not have to use any prior knowledge or experience to make or I will release this program to people free to use. Why does it have to be any more complicated than this?

  13. Re:Having some first hand experience... on Best Buy Confirms 'Secret' Version of its Website · · Score: 1

    Quick lesson in retail sales and customer service......Restocking fees are only charged on products in which can be sold as "Open Box items I.E. refurbished with a discount". Restocking fees are ONLY charged when a product is returned and there is nothing wrong with it. Items that usually have stocking fees associated with them are Computers, Laptops, Televisions, Cameras, Large Appliances. Remember, this restocking fee is used to pay for the discount the retailer is going to apply to the product when they have to try and re-sell it.

  16. Re:Without doing actual research... on RIAA Says CDs Should Cost More · · Score: 1

    The list goes on and on and gets "worse" (for the RIAA argument) when adjusting for inflation. LOTS of stuff is far cheaper than it has ever been.
    Not really cheaper even though the actual dollar amount has changed. Inflation, deflation and higher incomes come into play when talking about prices from different eras

  19. Re:Zap! on Demo PS3 Units freeze on Purpose · · Score: 1

    To me it seems more like a heat issue with how the console is stored in its plastic home. Does other people with PS3's who play this game experience constant freezing?.....But if they did design it to freeze then I guess the only other reason to this besides keeping people from playing it too long is if someone stole it or something and to cripple the kiosk model in-case something like this happens? However unlikely this scenario is, it may be a very minute possibility (donno). I also remember seeing people at our local best buy play this game for at-least 30-45 minutes before they get tired and leave. I've also seen a group of friends stand around for the greater part of a day playing the NBA game with no difficulties other than a cramped neck and no console restarts. All in all its probably just a defective batch of PS3's......It seems fate does not like sony either :)

  21. Re:Damn! on FCC Drops Morse Code Requirement · · Score: 1

    I remember when I went to take my cw test all they did was play an audio tape. All you had to do was listen to it and write down what was transmitted and answer questions based on your notes taken. I also got my license just before they re-structured the license,so that makes me one of the few tech-plus's out there. well anyways...heh ~KG4GTF

  22. Re:What are real problems in identity? on The Case for OpenID · · Score: 1

    well, if you was a jedi you could completly bypass this whole system. When you go to the site and it asks you for your ID, all you have to say is "You dont need to see my identification" and wave your hand in front of your monitor.
