    Syria is Offline, Unreachable via the Internet

    The internet was invented as a countermeasure against the communications disruption caused by a nuclear strike from a foreign power. And then the government goes and disrupts all the communication. Odd.

    edogawaThis is one giant pile of "no-***," Sherlock, there are many ways to complicate it, but none of those.All this is common sense that anyone with half a brain can figure out. This isn't philosophical debate, it's common sense, straight to the point, stuff people create is being...

    Verizon's Piracy Effort Includes Throttling Repeat Offenders

    edogawaWell, your statement made a lot of sense in a way, but this isn't a philosophical debate of any kind.There is no debate if they are or not stealing, they are in one way or another, and that has to stop. Pirates have, people who download something without paying for it, have no legal...

    Verizon's Piracy Effort Includes Throttling Repeat Offenders

    Ethical systems are not set in stone. What many believe as good and evil is not etched in stone. The world changes. Things are not clear-cut. "Illegal" is an attempt by a society to make an argument. It is not reality. It will play out in its own. The ease at which some people will lash out and...

    Mac Game/Trojan Wipes a File for Each Alien Killed

    copperbottoms "How does it possibly explore what it means to kill in a game? You aren't hurting other people like real killing, you're destroying your own computer. This is an exercise in masochism, not morality." Oh that's right. It's completely impossible to kill brain cells too. Killing is...

    Intel to Ship Value-Based X25-X SSD in Q4

    When will people realize that you don't buy a SSD for the amount of space it has on it? You buy it to put the OS on, and them maybe a few other apps that are HDD intensive. You don't need 80 gigs for an OS drive. 40 is fine. I'm so sick of seeing the comparison of SSD's to HDDs.

    Windows 7 Upgrade Could Take Over 20 Hours

    Wow... only 20 hours to get a system back to the way it was before? That's amazing. I know that it takes me weeks and I often can NEVER get things back to how I wanted them before. Just getting things like photoshop macros and other programmed settings working again means I have to relearn and...
