Right. You get what you pay for; nothing wrong with that.

"It should improve security"

Eh?

Don't get this, unless you're dual-booting XP, of course...

BOOM HEADSHOT!

On a more serious note, these guys are deluding themselves; gamers will for sure soon be setting up secure proxy networks and/or TOR stuff that will then come in handy for plenty of other uses that could well upset the Viet government a whole lot more than gaming....

I get through laptops pretty regularly, (life on the road + 4 kids), so don't buy expensive ones - cheapest with the biggest screen. Then I swap out the big memory and hard-drives that I used to upgrade the fried one. Easy to do, since most laptop chassis from big manufacturers are designed to be easy to build to order...
I find that cheap laptop + home upgrade = plenty fast PC for peanuts...

FTA: "If you happen to own a Verizon iPhone and are willing to give it the jailbreak treatment using Greenpois0n RC5_4, we wish you best of luck for that and hope you could share your end result with us. Thanks in advance."

Methinks worth waiting for some keen bleeding edge early adopters to iron out the wrinkles before rushing off to brick your expensive new toy, fellow /.ers

Here's the survey...

Although I'm sadly perfectly prepared to believe that the two people in Sweden may have been 'encouraged' to make their claims, I'm not sure that Swedish extradition conditions are more defavourable to Assange than those of the UK. Remember this?

Assange does seem to have a point; if he is not (yet) subject to formal charges, why should he be forced to return to Sweden for questioning?

I'm (sadly) sure that they're working on it...

Not so sure they need to have client-side stuff, tho', deep packet inspection techniques seem to have evolved enough for people to see what you're downloading; torrenting a distro, OK, a film not.
Wonder if they can automate this (identifying 'illegal' content)? Otherwise would seem to be difficult to massively deploy...

lol...reminds me of that old joke:

Guy @ bar #1: "I'm into flagellation, necrophilia & bestiality"

Guy @ bar #2: "Sounds like you're flogging a dead horse..."
