@Fraser

What exactly do you mean?? If some does not take direct debit thats not a fault of the banking system. If you have checking account in the US then you have a visa debit card. Some folks prefer checks .

@seanj

Won't happen because you need permission from the federal government to so the federal government . Then there is the threat of banning any thing Apple in the federal government.

Well he is fucked

When they extradite him they will most likely hit him with RICO., Nice cast of villains. Sex offenders and drug dealers .

@Disco-Legend-Zeke

"And even then, the 35,000 working girls in Las Vegas are unlicensed and un-taxed."

Could that be do to the fact prostitution is illegal Clark County?

@Adam Williamson

I'm surprised you got Linux working on a Sony. Sony likes to have propriety drivers that drives people bat shit .

@ Wonko the Sane

Because they changed bankruptcy laws .

@And why didn't they just do XP right?

They didn't want to break compatibility . Look what happened when the secured the kernel in VIsta. Anti virus people pitched a fit. If MS had left it to so that only they could put their hooks into the kernal, the EU would said monopoly.

I dont get it

These fines are more than what you would get if some assaulted yo and you sued them in civil court .

Thees fines are also way higher than if you were to steal the physical CD

Roger Pearse

Had the political roles been reversed, had it been a right-wing group spoofing a left-wing group, the former would have been lucky to avoid arrest, never mind have their "right" upheld.

And how would they be arrested in the US ? Hmm ever seen the site god hate fags? Its right wing and spews hate speech. Yet those evil left wing folks have not manged to get the site shut down.

Next time

Next time they will be smarter, the gov that is.They will put it on the secret net filter list.

@ac 17:43 GMT

Detained and arrested are to different thing in the US. You can be detained and questioned in the US with out being arrested. Being detained by the police does not stay are your perminate record in the US. You can also have arrest removed from you records to .

@ac

wreck the laptop and spread components around a 10 mile radius.

Um he is less than 5 miles from to major bridges that cross the SF bay. all he had to do is toss it off the golden gate or bay bridge .

"The Obama administration can change this very easily by passing a bill that changes the status of pot from no medcinal use to some medicinal use."

Really,cause I thought its congress that has write the law, pass it then , president signs off on it. Glad to know the president can do any thing with out congress.

Wait

I thought SARs was suppose to wipe me out

I want to know why this flu is more lethal in Mexico. With Mexico being so close to the USA you think they would see the same results If you are going to say the USA has better health care look Guatemala. Is next door to Mexico and does not have the same death rate. Not sound cruel, but more people have died from the regular flu t hen people that have been infected with swine flu. You want me to panic? Let me know when its killed 300 people in on week, in one city.

@ Lee

"From a US based legal site:"

And lee thats were you went wrong. You have federal employment law, then you have employment laws for each of the 50 states., In my state employers can only verfiy dates of employment and say weather they would hire you back. Some states they can only verify sates of employment

@Number6

Pre 9/11 the US would of considered that domestic terrorist act. Not a good Idea.

@Eduard Coli

Um no. Not if they are using encrypting . That's why India had a shit fit over the crack berry

@Stu

How do you think they paid for college ?

@ 17:09 GMT

However all that got murky with the release of IE 7 and now Microsoft have started doing things like forcing .Net as an irremovable addon into Firefox.

Um its removable.

Ticketmaster USA

Well you think thats bad. Here in the USA , if buy a ticket on line they charge you a $5 ticket printing fee. WTF thats out and out fraud. I'm paying $5 to print my own ticket

Jay Walking

I am no expert on city sewage design but normally the manholes are placed in the road (street to our US friends) and as such was she not breaking the law at the time by jay walking. She should nicked and counter-sued, if on the way down, she damaged any municipal equipment.

Nope there are man holes in side walks here, some are in the cross walk.

@Beau

Very little. MS has to get inline behind things like the banks.

@Lan ser

As for saying well we need this or that and it only runs on windows then pull your fingers out and port them to a real OS

Do you think that they write these programs them self ? How do you suggest they port a commercial app? Do think the companies are going to give them the source code?

@Andy 97

"Our media is the laughing stock of the world, imagine anyone being able to criticize China/Iran/Russia now.

What an f-wording joke!"

No sadly that distinction goes to the US. We have fox news. Blame the Aussies for Rupert Murdoch.

On another note , when I worked for Voip company I could listen to peoples voice mail with out entering their pin. So before you slag on some for default pass words think about this . Does the phone company have a back door way to listen to voice mails? Do they have a back door way to reveal the voice mail password ?

@Fazal Majid

why give discount for removing some thing you can download for free Does not make since dose it. Buy a discounted product, download the missing comments and you have a full version at a discount. Only way that would work is if MS locked that version of windows so it could not use media player. Think the EU would of liked that ?

What if the radio only casts un-copyrighted music

they are still fucked. See the RIAA collects royalties on all music. They have even collected royalties on artist that dont belong to them and then turns around and says if you want the money you have to join us .

Get a clue

"worrying that some individuals may too easily rearrange their gender and then regret having done so"...

In the UK you go through NHS b you have to live full time for a year before they give you hormones. Before yo get there you have to see a shrink for 6 months. Then its not like you can just go see any doc for SRS. The hole process can take up to 3 years.

Anonymous Coward 15:34 GMT

I'm with AC 15:34 I've heard of stories of people coming back state side with Japaneses comics and customs flip out.

Never Update Over A Weekend!

the reason why my company did updates on the week end is simple. If it breaks on a saturday, you don't have an office full of users screaming at you .

hmmm

Intel is made in China and Korea while AMD is Germany. Looks like the NSA will have to buy Power chips which are made in the USA. Happy 4th!.

Every been to Santa Clara,ca Chandler ,Az. Some needs to tell those folks to stop making Intel.

chips

AMD chips are also made in Austin Tx.

Disarming America

and what proof do you have ??

Here is some thing most folks dont know

If I buy a product in New York but live California, I'm required to pay the tax in California. Good luck on getting New York to refund the taxes so you can pay them in California.

Here is some thing else people might know, If you are visiting the the States from another country you don't pay sales tax. IF you are charged sales tax , you can fill out a form at the airport to get your money back.

James Woods

I want to know what charges can be filed against debt collectors and telemarketers for spoofing their numbers and calling from fake ones. I know when I call Verizion about telemarketers they say "we can't do anything".

You find the phone carrier that the spoofed number belongs to. File an FTC complaint against that company.

Ps Verizion does all kinds of nasty shit to prevent numbers from being ported . My personal favorite is disconnecting the number before it ports. Then telling you its the other phone companies fault .

@ Mike 61

'but the bottom line is that the Governor in question did nothing that could or should make him leave his job"

Are you shitting me ?? He left the country for 5 days and didn't tell any one. Had No way of any one contacting him. Plus now it looks like he spent state money to see his mistress.

first amendment

Lawyers acting for Baron objected to the identity theft charge. Defence lawyers also claimed Baron enjoyed first amendment (free speech) exemptions in criticising a public

So i have the right to hack an e-mail account under the first amendment ?

That lawyer is full of it

One question

if it was faked , why didn't the Russians prove that it was fake ?

just a few facts

Rwandan genocide happened in 1994. Yeah the net was just starting . People were paying by the minute.

WhatWasThat?

Nice joke mate. Now tell it in NYC or Miami :) Wait is Puerto Rico in the US ? Hmm.

Hmm

I what PETA says when and animals eats human?

Um

Whats with all of these todger articles on this site ? Is there some thing us people with todgers should know about ?

wtf

“I said, ‘What address did you have?’ and he said, ‘They sent me some GPS coordinates.’ I said, ‘Don’t you have an address?’ [and] he said, ‘Yes, my GPS coordinates led me right to this address here and this house was described.’

Whats wrong with using an house address ?

Can sone pleas tell me

How does the fact that I can't uninstall IE prevent me from having a choice of which browser to use ? I use FF e xclusively . This is not a fan boi then I want a serious answer. Not from some that says MS is evil or they hate MS. Next question. If MS is forced to distribute other browser how do you choose which one ? Last question , if one of those browsers has a major flaw in who is responsible for it ? Now you might say well its the browser company. Then there will be others that said its part of what you sold to us. We didn't have choice but to take those browsers.

Anti taser ranters

What would you have the cops do ?? The guys was destroying property and he assaulted a person . Would you preferred the they clubbed the guy ? There is a chance that he was on drugs, if he was running around naked destroying things.

By they were there has been lots of cases were comes struggled with suspect on drugs and the suspected died . It was not cause the cops beat the shit out of them, but do to the stress of the incident .

Wait

Before you folks go on about how corrupt MS is, tell me this. Who actually use MS instant message?

Most people I know use Yahoo. In fact for while HP was bundling Yahoo messenger and tool bar on their computers .

Phorm

I'm thinking this.

Kent has naughty pictures of some in government.

Some how he got a contract from the government to secretly spy on people in the future.

Greatest hustler of all times.

@Mad Mike

in all 50 states you will be arrested for not signing the ticket. Signing the ticket is your promise to appear in court. No the officer does not have the right to walk away . Its mandatory for the cop to arrest. I've yet to seen a police dept that would allow the office to simple write refused to sign ticket. In most DMV hand books in the US, it tells you refusal to sign a ticket will land you in Jail.

Now here is the question. You have some that's is 72 and wont let you cuff them ? Do tase them , or use physical force.

@Conrad Longmore

Unfortunately, it is something people are going to have to live with.. temporarily.. if they want to be safe.

Is that the type of country you want to live

Ian Ferguson

"Why the fuck does the NYPD allow cops to run around with guns out of uniform?"

All police dept in the US and Canada do that .
