Comment Reckless endangerment (Score 4, Interesting) 290

I would charge them with Reckless Endangerment... which can mean a fee and/or jail time.

"Reckless endangerment is a crime consisting of acts that create a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person. The accused person isn't required to intend the resulting or potential harm, but must have acted in a way that showed a disregard for the foreseeable consequences of the actions."

I would say driving with lights that temporarily blind oncoming traffic to be in that category.

Comment 401Ks, IRAs will be fine (Score 1) 1514

That's what they want you to think. That's their disingenuous pitch. It's a transaction fee. Most pensions and other retirement funds are buy and hold kind of things. They do very few transactions. It's the high frequency day traders that would be hit the hardest. For the common man, it would be negligible.

Comment They messed up w the Trashcan (Score 1) 317

I think this version should be fine. They screwed up trying to make the Trashcan Mac as perfect as it could be at launch and didn't really think of the future... or gambled on the wrong future (Thunderbolt ports will be all the expansion anybody will ever need!). This Cheesegrater Mac is definitely a lot more upgradable as a form factor. No weird circle form and prism shaped motherboard this time. I'm not worried about upgrades with this version.

Comment Need to test both backup and RESTORE (Score 2) 231

OR the backup process was completely borken (not even new material) and they never knew until they tried to retrieve the backups. That's why it is always important to constantly test the full backup process... backup AND restore... to make sure everything is working okay. The problem with doing it this way is that it takes time and most people/businesses don't want to deal with it and skip the restore part. But oh look... that last software patch made the backups unreadable... doh! ;)
