  1. Re:itsatrap on RIAA Receives Stern Letter, Folds · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If they are actually going after criminals, they should get the police to collect the evidence! So either we're looking at A) The RIAA needs to stop being stupid or B) the police do!

  2. Hey new rule! on Is Daylight Saving Shift Really Worth It? · · Score: 1

    We're back on standard time now, but if you're a farmer or your industry would benefit from the DST schedule, you can implement it your damned selves! :D

  3. Re:What are they avoiding (besides paying taxes)? on Halliburton Moving HQ To Dubai · · Score: 1

    I think he'd know whether there was a law requiring him to pay income tax ;)

  4. Serious? on Bugged Canadian Coins? · · Score: 1

    Sorry if this is a redundant reply, but I didn't see any mention of the obvious.

    For craps sake people, its so they can track the travel patterns of coins so they have an idea of how currency works. It's a brilliant idea in my opinion because there's no way to conclusively say who's carrying the coins at any given time, but they CAN read when each coin passes through certain checkpoints around the city.

    I'll add a little tangent here, but imagine if they had spy cameras around the city too? Then they could see you somewhere, check what coins your carrying, and use the videos to find out where you're exchanging money, and follow your change.

    Personally, I only use change for the bus and Tim Hortons ;)

  5. The best solution? on YouTube Leaves Google Vulnerable? · · Score: 1

    Here's a great idea! We're all familiar with the image flagging system on MySpace for "innappropriate material". This method enables the flagging of many more pictures than if the administrators were to seek them out themselves. Why not use "copyright flagging" on youtube in the same fashion? No incentive you say? How about a system where each user who flags a video (that ends up conflicting with the copyright) gets a 'license point'. These points can accumulate and later be used to buy copywritten videos from Google Video! In the end it's the ad revenue that pays for these licenses, but if Google wants to be responsible about preemptive measures, getting the userbase to help out seems like the best option from my vantage!
