  Re: Re: Re:

  Nope, it just means they'll use other ways to share the files. Newsgroups and private trackers immediately come to mind. If they completely shut down torrents some day, there will still be the same amount of piracy, it will just be harder for them to crack down on it.

  Re:

  I know what the teacher was thinking (assuming it was a male teacher): He was thinking he could get a cheap thrill seeing if she had any hot pictures on her phone, which if you listen to the media, EVERY teenage girl has nude photos of herself on her phone.

• On the post: Indie Game Developer Points Out That It's Better To Give People Reasons To Buy Than Worry About 'Piracy'

  FINALLY!

  Finally a developer who gets it! I wish the big developers would read this and realize that this is the way to go.

  yep, I'm another one....I had no idea WTF Groupon was when I first started reading the article.

  nope, he lives in Long Island and commutes to Manhattan, I believe

  Re: If he *averaged* 55 miles an hour,

  I doubt he would call it wasted time. The other article linked in this one has more of the story and the guy just genuinely seems to love to drive.

• On the post: If Your Brother Was Arrested For A Crime, Does It Violate Your Privacy When They Store His DNA?

  

  theangryintern ( profile ), 21 Jun, 2010 @ 09:11am

  Hmmm, I guess I personally don't care too much about this, since my DNA is already in the system from when I was in the Military.

  Re: Sexting

  true, but chances are those "amorous-but-apart" couples have been using Skype for while now. We have a Sys Admin at work here that just started last year. He hasn't been able to sell his house in Portland, so his family is still up there while he's down here in San Diego. He uses Skype all the time to talk to his family and see his kids.

  Re: Google needs to talk with McDonalds

  they do have that, though. As Steven was kind enough to point out above, this has been shown on the google maps page for a while when you choose walking directions:
  
  "Walking directions are in beta.
  Use caution – This route may be missing sidewalks or pedestrian paths."

• On the post: Could Gizmodo's iPhone Scoop Settle Whether Bloggers Count As Journalists?

  Re: Did I Miss Something?

  Damn, should have read the rest of your post before commenting.
  
  I'm not sure if this really is Apple flexing their muscle. They haven't sent Gizmodo a C&D letter to take down the original article, and it doesn't seem that the Gizmodo article left anything out.

  Re: Did I Miss Something?

  a) well, he was never arrested, so why would his BAC be known by anyone?

  Re: Re: At what point is it stolen property?

  Which is complete and total bullshit, because it's been publicly known that Gizmodo gave the iphone back to Apple when they asked for it back. So this warrant is baseless if it's for what you are saying. Everyone knew he didn't have the iphone anymore.

• On the post: Cutting Saturday Mail Delivery? Sure, If It Makes Good Business Sense.

  Re: Good Deal

  I thought I remembered a few months back they were talking about cutting out Tuesday delivery, since that's historically a lighter volume day anyway.

• On the post: RIAA Claims File Sharers Are 'Undermining Humanitarian Efforts In Haiti', But Leaves Out The Facts

  

  theangryintern ( profile ), 05 Mar, 2010 @ 12:50pm

  to be fair, if you pirate a charity album, that just makes you a bad person. Not to say what the RIAA says is right, just my opinion.

• On the post: Do IT People Hate Their Jobs?

  

  theangryintern ( profile ), 17 Feb, 2010 @ 07:54am

  The 4% who are happy are probably the 4% who don't have to deal with users on a daily basis. As the wise Randall from Clerks once said: This would be a great job if it wasn't for the f**king customers!

• On the post: Facebook Requires McAfee Scan If There's A Security Breach? Is This Security Or A Marketing Program?

  

  theangryintern ( profile ), 14 Jan, 2010 @ 05:34pm

  I think if this happened to me I'd rather just close my Facebook account than be force to use a piece of s**t like McAfee.
