  2. Re:Confused... on TransUnion to Offer Credit Freezes Nationwide · · Score: 1

    And another thing,

    Even after "unlocking" your credit do you think a creditor is going to ignore that
    your credit has been locked and look favorably on you?

    NO WAY. You will be dinged. How do they know its you and not the bad guy NOW?
      And you will never know since you dont know whats in the FICO scoring engine. But having been divorced is in there,
    So you can probably guess having your credit locked is going to be in there.
    So say hello to shitty credit either way.

    Stop dreaming about this having anything to do with helping people. Its about credit bureau liability

  3. credit freeze is a joke on TransUnion to Offer Credit Freezes Nationwide · · Score: 0

    This is not a benefit consumers should forget it.

    Until individuals CAN ACTUALLY REMOVE ERRONEOUS INFO FROM their reports in a timely and fair manner,
    freezing your credit may only keep someone from ruining it worse if you are lucky.

    But you will never get a loan or any credit as long as your credit is frozen.
    So this is maybe barely a little protection. But only because it takes 10 years to get anything done with a credit bureau.

    Otherwise you would simply clear up the identity theft in say a matter of hours and go on with your life.
    But you cant DO that CAN YOU?

    Might that be because there are say a few hundred mainframes in this country that have more RIGHTS than you
    as computers than you do as a person? This will look like childs play when the national ID card is released.

    So opt out of the credit system, because you have no power as an individual.....NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Identity thieves have more rights by default than you, because they hack a totally insecure system.
    And the system pretends its secure.

  10. how will this ultimately matter? on IP Holders Press For Access To WHOIS Data · · Score: 1

    If your a big company, you can post your address etc and noone will come to your corporate lobby (except maybe michael moore).

    For the little guy who owns a website, it means he will have to rent a mailbox or something to prevent any serious loonies (or govt investigator) from showing up during his saturday barbecue in the backyard.

    This will only exacerbate the privacy war if allowed.

    If this is allowed to happen then huge corporations should be made to publish the CEOs home address and phone number
    on their corporate websites to make it fair.

    Small business owners and individuals with no business registration should be allowed to use proxy registration services
    without fear of reprisal.

    As for the marketing angle, allowing unchecked access will create inordinate amounts of spam and
    may even provide a doorway to identity theft.

    Think about it.

  12. open source licenses dont exist in the real world on Can Open Source Give Comfort To the Enemy? · · Score: 1

    The fact you you make this an "open source" issue shows that you really have no standing or credibility to even talk about what your posting. Open source licenses dont exist. Posession is 9/10s of the law as it always has been and if you give you stuff away... You have no further right. Anyway nice try at getting attention for yourself by saying OH were open source. Whatever. Its called free, and noone cares about your plight after the download. Grow up loser.

  18. old news but whats the real problem on Music Industry Shaking Down Coffee Shops · · Score: 1

    This is such old news it just seems like a bully piece in light of the general anger towards the RIAA et al.

    This has been going on for years. The fact is the music performance is being used to enhance the business (make more money) and ascap wants their cut. Even if the performer is naive enough to play for free, money is being made off it by the business in the form of being a little nicer than the "other" coffee shop.

    I have no problem with paying a small amount to ascap for that. What I do have a problem with is arbitrary fees which cannot be traced to the actual performance rights being exercised and artist payments. Thousands of artists have registered thousands of works with ascap. So did they all just receive .0001 of a penny? That's a joke.

    If the fees dont really help the artist then I think they are just there to support ascap and that I dont agree with.

    As a more abstract argument I dont think copyright should apply to performance only to printed sheet music. But that battle was lost a thousand years ago so theres no point in fighting it anymore.

  19. corp culture sucks and has no meaning on Dot-Com Work Culture Making a Comeback? · · Score: 1

    The typical corporate culture and the ones that make it suck, hate IT for this.

    Although they will bow to these changes to attract IT talent, they silently wait for the day when they can shut it down and go back to their idea of normal which is a stifling, power driven charade designed to enforce strict classist notions of executives, mgmt and staff. (Not to mention the bigger class notion underlying it all - the employed vs the unemployed.) Work according to these people is supposed to suck just like their sucky products and their sucky customers.

    If it doesn't suck then someone must surely not be doing their jobs and that must come to an end. The psychology of people making things worse and everyone else thanking them for making their lives miserable must stop. Not because we need top talent, but because human beings should come first and corporate ideals of profit should be an extension of that idea, not in spite of it.

    If we are going to continue to live in societies dominated by these corporations and their greedy system, then we should as a society make these companies abide by a culture that puts people first.

    The problem is we dont put ourselves first, so we wont demand it and until that changes we will never get it.

    And thats alot more important than bean bag chairs and free soda...see heath care.

  20. sanctioned antitrust on Ban On Price Floors Abandoned, Internet Prices May Rise · · Score: 1

    Pleased at the monopoly they have on law, the power justices, unmoved by law, unconvinced by reason, unconcerned about history repeating itself, have sanctioned antitrust in its most sinister form: vertical price fixing.

    Vertical control is at the utmost core of antitrust law. We can now wonder whether there even is such a thing as antitrust law.
    The restriction of goods from the market by producers through a price fixed set of distributors and retailers can NEVER help consumers. And it cannot promote competition. Its the restriction of competition, the exclusion of competitive sales channels (which have their own costs and overhead to consider), and the crowning of producers to move the market in ways that have nothing to do with market value of the product or consumer desires.

    One need only imagine this provision being applied on raw materials. I, a producer of raw materials for circuit boards will only sell them through distributors who guarantee a certain price. I and those I collude with will surely set the market price rather than the price being set by the market. Multiply this vertical power by the number of companies who make components for end user devices and you can see that the price paid by the consumer will be more than a little bit higher. It will be A LOT higher. And the availability of a range of products will be reduced.

    This ruling is a coup, nay, a revolution for Corporate America. Without this provision, no possible antitrust enforcement will ever be pursued again. Thanks guys for declaring open season on the law of the land, small business, the Internet and the American people.
