This is a STUPID idea ... particularly when governments around the world are installing hardware and software to SPY on people. Being able to lock them out is a necessity to you keeping your privacy unless you want a TYRANNICAL WORLD of 1984 (Orwell's famous classic book and movie) to be a reality or maybe V for Vendetta ! Rethink what you are proposing folks. Its not about having something to hide. Its about keeping your FREEDOMS and your PRIVACY from PRYING EYES !

Has anyone seriously taken the time to calculate the amount of money changing hands in these Technical Law Suits ? If they would simply STOP suing each other and start COLLABERATING they might find the world a better place to live. PATENTS need to be OUTLAWED ... I believe that time has come. Its time to stop thinking about SELF and OWNERSHIP and start WORKING FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANITY !

We are going to have to move the planet off of the current financial system in order to bring about real work to accomplish goals like this. Money is a ROAD BLOCK to fully achieving success as a PEOPLE and a PLANET Cost is not a factor. It is the willingness and willpower of the People who live here to come together and make it all happen.

Comment CEO's, CIO's, CTO's, MBA's and Worthless Paper (Score 1) 269

A "Degree" does NOT make a man or a woman. It is a piece of paper, used as fodder, in the game of dollars between the HR department person and the prospective new hire. TECH Certifications also fall into this same category. Anyone can teach a monkey to push a button to get a banana from the hidden door. CEO's don't understand IT and IT Departments. CTO's are MBA's with a smidgeon of IT thrown in. CIO's are protectors of the companies secrets. The IT Department folks make or break a company any day of the week depending upon what failes and how fast it can be brought back up into working order. Trying paying your IT Tech's more money and quit relying on people in CIO and CTO positions that don't have or use any IT skills.

CEO's do not understand the ROLE that CIO's play. Sure, it would help if the CIO had some business experience, however, most CIO's are TECH's that have grown up into those positions. CIO's understand that the heart and nerve center of every business that uses and utilities IT infrastructures, CEO's don't ... they only care about the bottom line and the profit they generate. IT runs everything in this world. Water, Electric, Gas supplies, traffic lights, security cameras and so on. If we took a dive back 70-100 years, people wouldn't know how to work or how to act or how to conduct business because IT has made their lives so much easier (yet more complicated).

It is indeed a sad day that Santorum leaves the race for the GOP Presidential nod. He should take all of his support and team up with Gingrich to topple Romney from getting the valued spot. Romney and the Morman Church do NOT need to be at the top of the heap. Romney is a JOKE ! He won't defeat OBAMA. He might have the money, but he does not have the CLOUT !!!

ForgedArtificer writes: "Following Bell's announcement in December, Rogers has also (after a threat of CRTC investigation) stated that they will be ending bandwidth throttling by the end of 2012.

They will remove throttling for about half of their customers in March (coinciding with Bell's action) and the remainder in December.

Steve Anderson of OpenMedia.ca calls it "[...] a huge step for internet openness in Canada.""

An anonymous reader writes: Canadian copyfighter Michael Geist has posted a great talk on SOPA activism and what it means for the next generation of global copyright agreements such as the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement and the Trans Pacific Partnership. The talk — which takes an hour — also assesses the global strategies employed by the U.S. and copyright lobby groups of shifting away from WIPO toward closed negotiations (like ACTA) and domestic copyright pressure (like the Canadian SOPA).

A full 26 per cent of them admit to using their privileged log in rights to look at confidential information they should not have had access to in the first place.

The Best Video Games On Awful Systems 272

Posted by Soulskill on Thursday September 02, 2010 @06:39AM from the diamond-in-the-rough dept.

Buffalo55 writes "For the most part, classic games manage to reappear on different systems. Just look at Nintendo. The publisher has done an excellent job bringing NES, SNES, Genesis and even old school Neo Geo titles to the Wii's Virtual Console, while Microsoft's Game Room brings the best of Atari's 2600 into the living room. Of course, not every console was a success. The '90s, in particular, saw quite a few flops from companies like Panasonic, Sega and Atari. Just because a system is a failure, though, doesn't mean all of its games suck. On the contrary, most of these machines have a few gems that fell between the cracks once the console croaked." What overlooked game on a failed platform would you like to see revived?
