hmmmn

i'm dubious of this. HAving looked at the more comprehensive article on Wired the FBI are being typically vague. I'd suggest that they infact infected all 33 pages from the myspace group, and by process of elimination found their man.

I doubt very much if thats a constitionally valid course of action.

She knows a dubious course of action when she sees one.

here's hoping...

TPB use the precedent set to raise a class action suit on behalf of all europeans against Verbatim/ Sony/ Iomega/ TDK/ BASF/ SanDisk/ Hitachi/ Western Digital

Thats before we get to the software people, Iøm sure MS assists in copyright infringment.

I'm quite sure a competant team will have this judge begging for mercy before long. Its not that I agree with what they are doing, but I just don't think its fair or "just" to single them out. Especially when there are clearly much bigger fish to fry.

I bet our Paris loves a big fish

great work

thanks for these

(she does great work too)

imagine a bowulf cluster of those

... no, hold on, wait ...

I'll get me coat.

(Paris 'cos she loves a cluster)

let me get this right

They are now saying, no one can access the data, and we don't need to carry it.

Excuse me if this seems a little f'king redundant.

(hilton will never be redundant)

so they'll change the law

to make it fit their aspirations.

Its what government do.

FIPR have apparently even been kind enough to highlight the exact chapter of the current legislation which needs a minor tweak.

I almost want to suggest that we should have kept quiet and sued them into the abyss after the fact.

i'm glad that mark whasisface...

won't be getting that hugely over-rated sum.

Silly sausage, he should have sold it while it was obviously peaking.

moreover, I'm deeply enjoying the smug satisfaction that a whole slew of these stories are now now going to spread through the outlets, and I'll sit back watching the vacuous and banal gawp in stunned silence, as another of their "it changes everything" slides into the deadpool.

You summed it up perfectly with the whole "log in, spy on a few exes, log off".

the businessy oriented ones are not much better. show me a fully featured IM client

paris angle: vacuuous twat

(extra 'u' intended)

missed opportunity

the title could so easily have been:

/apt get coat

re: comments disabled

they weren't disabled at the outset.

i managed to get one in.

it wasn't polite, but it was to the point.

Insurrection?

Anonymous Coward be warned, your cards are marked and your days are numbered! Talk that that is simply not acceptable. Do not pass go, and certainly do not write angsty teen poetry on the back of till receipts whilst working a minimum wage job.

Check the lifts

Somebody dies in custody. Destroy the tapes. Problem solved.

I bet the CIA check the reg every friday for insight on how to go about covering up such monumental cockups.

In fact, I bet there`s a whole host of terrorists trapped in lifts around Langley.

this is weak

so we can now influence our own search results.

this idea seems redundant.

Eitherway, i'm not particularly fussed, since I no longer use a google account, and I wont be logging in to adulterate my search results.

This whole pandering to the "crowd" and letting them "vote" is getting out of hand.

next thing you know, they'll want us to pick our governments.

No, hold on...

I'll get me coat

simply

outstanding!

any chance we can have a quality metric?

What Australia actually lacks is a good reason to buy the kit mentioned in the first place.

just a thought.

54 kilobits

hah, mine was better. I had 56K.

oh, theres my coat. cabs waiting, see ya.

oh, before I go.

Sometimes, I wish I had no soul, then I could work in marketing and sell all these lies, upto 4x10^6Mb/s with unlimited downloads.

I do feel bad for the ISPs, but they went along with the lies, so really, I don't feel that bad. They painted them selves into a corner. They promoted a business model which was a fabrication.

I've overpaid for crappy service, I've been kicked off ISPs for "unfair use" (that was funny, it was kazaa, BT, and a 33.6K modem)

Quite simply, I'm waiting for the middle class moral outrage while the ISPs play victim.

meh, its one of the reason I left the country, doesn't affect me.

(that'd be the international NIMBY)

bellyaching

all this belly aching is already redundant.

the format of choice is clearly going to be VOD. Its a done deal. the Xbox and the PS3 are more than capable of delivering it. The discs are too late to the game, they are dead in the water.
