Comment law against stupidity? (Score 0, Troll) 705

First, she should be arrested for encouraging an entire group to sing INSIDE A MOVIE THEATER. Being stupid enough to do that is one thing, but then she records it, IN THE MOVIE THEATER! There are signs everywhere in these places about recording devices and such. In these cases, it is a federal crime. This isn't copying off the internet. This is the source and they protect it aggressively. Third, she went and saw twilight new moon. This is clearly 3 strikes of being stupid and she ought to be locked up\

New Google Favicon Deja Vu All Over Again? 227

theodp writes "Last June, Google rolled out a new favicon, the small branding icon that graces your URL bar when you visit Google. Which, as it turned out, bore a striking similarity to Garth Brooks' Circle-G logo. Well, Google went back to the drawing board and has come back with a new favicon, which it says was inspired by — not copied from, mind you — its users' submitted ideas. Some are also seeing inspiration elsewhere for the new favicon, which consists of white 'g' on a background of four color swatches. Take the AVG antivirus icon, for instance. Or everybody's favorite memory toy, Simon. Or — in perhaps the unkindest cut of all — the four-color Microsoft Windows logo, shown here with a superimposed white '7'. Anything else come to mind?" What comes to mind for me is just how obsessed many people are with the Google favicon.

Does that air travel study take into account all the computers that the air traffic control uses on a day by day basis? What about all the electricity that two airports, if it's a direct flight, running at full capacity consume? Or at least at a high enough volume so that it can sustain it's operations enough to fly that one flight. It only seems fair that if you're taking the broad spectrum of IT energy consumption into account, then you must look at all the energy consumption that one flight relies on to simply be scheduled. Luggage handling, security, shuttling commuters, food courts, are a few more factors I came up with very quickly. Either a lot of thought was put into ignoring those part of air travel, or not a lot of thought was put into this study at all.

"Your shared items are publicly accessible." From Google Reader's "Your shared items" page. This has been on the page for the shared items URL since day one. Just because the URL is slightly obfuscated, doesn't mean that you assume it's a private matter. Especially when you're being told in bold that it is a public matter!
