  Re: Brilliant

  Create a crappy shoe brand and advertise it by giving away some of the shoes with shirts that read "Faster than a speeding Olympian" then on the back you have a rear-view mirror that has a runner in it and the Olympic rings in reverse order.

  Why not they do it.

  "In response, the producers claim that they have a First Amendment right to use his story."
  
  So to avoid law suites and spread the movie all I want all I need to do is take there story get several theater friends together and recreate the production. Have people donate to the boycott Hurt Locker by seeing "Locker Hurt" they would have no issue.

  Re: Re: Re:

  I believe i read a while ago that Google's intent was to have a list of open "hot spots" to add to maps. They just did not think of people leaving there wifi open when doing it.

  I thought that Far Cry was a video game not a movie.

• On the post: WHO Exaggerated H1N1 Flu Problems, After Consulting With Consultants Working For Pharmaceutical Firms

  

  Sean T Henry ( profile ), 10 Jun, 2010 @ 08:15am

  The governments should take this opportunity to push that in the instance that a pandemic is declared all pharmaceuticals used to treat and prevent the illness must be sold at cost.

  I think this sums it up

  Jack Johnson: "And I say your three cent titanium tax doesn't go too far enough."

• On the post: Court Says Police In Ohio Can Just Guess How Fast You Were Going And Give You A Ticket

  

  Sean T Henry ( profile ), 09 Jun, 2010 @ 12:02pm

  Challenge the cops judgement based on the FACT that eye sight diminishes as people get older. The cop was trained 10 years ago and his eye sight has decreased by X% so the speed judgement based on what he learned at "the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy or similar organization" is out of calibration.

• On the post: Congresswoman Suggests That Comcast Tried To Bribe Her To Support Merger

  

  Sean T Henry ( profile ), 09 Jun, 2010 @ 06:45am

  I do not know why she did not have the conversation recorded for proof. As a politician that is usually a good idea for situations the law in DC is one party consent for recording since she was a party of the conversation and would have been recording it there is no issue there.

  Re: That legalese has more holes than a colander

  Thats why services should only have the address on one page and on that page states that any and all correspondence is subject to being posted in said web sight regardless of content if you do not want it posted do not sent it.

• On the post: More Casinos Succeeding With The 'That Jackpot You Won Was Really A Computer Glitch' Claim

  Re: More than $11 million worth of bad publicity

  I would have called the police and made a report called the gaming commission and Office of inspector general. Report fraud in the odds they have admitted that the machines do not work and give faults payouts. Is it more likely for you to win from a glitch of lose...
  
  I would say lose and you would not notice this. So by that logic all the money that was spent could have been a winner but due to a glich it said that you lost. By not owning up to the payment is the same as telling some one at the black jack table sorry the card shuffler glitched and gave you the last 3 black jacks so we are taking the winnings back.

  Mike you missed a small part from the linked ComputerWorld article the guy had two laptops one was broken and both had child porn of them.
  
  The reason I point this out is I was going to ask how they could have "reasonable suspicion" if the computer did not work to where they had to send it away for inspection.

  Re: Re: Re:

  I watch some shows that are not available in the states. Do you know how hard it is to JUST watch the shows when ever I want? It is so hard I have to go and DL the .torrent open the file then go down stares get a beer and a snack then tell the video file to play when I get back. If the show is popular it will take no time at all to DL I have even received a 1hr hd show in under 10min just a long enough wait to use the bathroom and check my e-mail.

  Its funny how in part 3 they seem to ignore that the upload speed can be set to 0k so then no data is being sent so every downloader is not an uploader.

  Re:

  Depending on the personality of this individual (Is he charismatic?) and how good he is at convincing people to commit suicide it could be a good thing to have him in jail. Place him with repeat offenders of violent crimes and maybe he can do some good.
