Jerky_sanI'm trying to suggest they come to Arkansas instead cause it would be nice to have google here.. and why do they bother with places like Nevada when they could come to a small state to test stuff and not have to worry as much.. Nevada is a small state. Less people than Arkansas and the...

eddieroolzUh, quite amazing enough with Desert Eagles. I freaked when he brought out the AKS-74. The AKS isn't automatic. He was bump firing it. You simply keep your finger in place and let the recoil fire the weapon. Makes the rifle fire "automatically" but its impossible to aim.

PeshAlltell was bought by Verizon....... "On June 5, 2008, Verizon Wireless announced it would acquire the majority of Alltel Wireless in a deal valued at $28.1 billion. The merger was approved by the Federal Communications Commission on the condition that Verizon divest 105 Alltel markets. On...

hellwigTwo Words: Not Enough DRM!!!Someone in the beta-test group was probably able to actually install and run the game on a computer. This was a clear sign to management that the DRM had failed. When asked to clarify, 2KGames spokesperson Cho Ken M'Groin stated: "Clearly, the only way to...

tramitDoes anyone know why Nintendo stayed in business and Atari went out of business? The reason was that Nintendo regulated its goods by preventing piracy that was wide spread with Atari games. This is no different. Most people who hack their PS3 are most likely doing it to pirate...

scrumworksPretty obvious that is a military exercise to test knocking out "enemy" local GPS systems. That sentence hurts my brain in so many ways. The S in GPS already stands for system, also I can't possibly comprehend how there could be a local global positioning system. On top of that, they...

@matt87_50 The first amendment protects you from government and any other reprisal when speaking your mind. Leaked classified documents are not a form of protected speech. If they got a hold of blue prints for the stealth fighter and posted them, could they then release them to the public and...

You kind of missed the point. He didn't tweet any of Androids code, he tweeted the commands to compile the source from a repository, demonstrating that anyone can build it.

My parents house that was built in the late 50's actually has something similar. There is a main relay in the attic which all the light switches in the house are wired into. Then there is a panel of 9 push buttons, each with a little lamp to indicate if the light is on. It's right next to the...

tomtompiperWhat Distro have you been using? There is no need for anybody to load a module and recompile squat to get Wi-Fi to work, in most Distro's it is set up automatically and if not it's set up using a GUI driven tool. As to the average user, they use what they are given and they cope. The...

wotan31Easiest fix: Don't run Windows. Plenty of other (better) operating systems to choose from. As of right now there is no better operating system for the average consumer than Windows. This coming from a Linux user, it's still not ready for mainstream consumption. Tell the average user...

You know what I like? Stealing images from Wikipedia and not attributing them to there proper sources as required by the creative commons license.

How is this an issue of privacy? You put the information on Facebook or MySpace knowing that other people can look at it if they are in your network. Just goes to show, if you don't want something known, don't put it on a computer. Besides if the Feds really wanted this information, they would...

mavanhelIsn't private encryption in the US illegal? So if you were caught, instead of the FCC on your *ss you'd have the FBI or some equally intimidating government force, at least, that is what I have heard. If private encryption is illegal, why is hard drive encryption included in every copy...

rhino13Man, I want them to catch PC game pirates. I don't give a rip about movies and music, I just want to see more money going to all these bankrupting studios. Pirates don't bankrupt game studios, publishers do. Then they drive it into your head that piracy forced their hand. Independent...
