@k2kyo: C'mon, the guy caved because he was guilty, not because he couldn't afford to defend himself (although that might also have been true).

Unless they've changed something recently, Netflix support for parental controls on streaming is useless.

Why wasn't this tagged as #advertisement?

I'd be happy enough if these copiers/printers would stop making persistent digital copies on an internal hard drive of every single thing that they scan/print. Getting your hands on the hard drives from these machines is a potential gold mine.

@Saboth: Apparently the pinch gesture itself is not patentable but the connection between that motion and some specified function (such as zoom) is arguably patentable.

@DssTrainer: That's not sexting, that's poetry ;-)

@Billybird: And do you also educate the friends of your kids so that *they* don't send objectionable material to your kids? And are your kids guaranteed to never be the target of spammers? This technology will just be one more (optional) tool to *aid* parenting, not to *replace* parenting.

@Eruanno: I just installed and ran that yesterday. It took a couple of minutes and I didn't have to reboot. Maybe I got lucky.

@Digitallysick: And the Leaf will deliver significantly fewer than 100 miles per charge in 'adverse' conditions. From Nissan's web-site:

These things are all symptoms of a problem, they're not the problem itself. You don't (unless you're in govt) go about fixing a problem by addressing the symptoms.

@Mickets: You can search the web for various discussions on the legality of mp3panda but 99.99% chance that, despite what the site claims, it does not have the right to sell what it is selling, certainly for copyrighted recordings originating outside of Russia anyway. I'm sure that RIAA would like to get their hands…

@Mickets: OK, that might address the trust issues, but unless you happen live in Russia (where copyright laws are inconsequential) then you are presumably in violation of various copyright and/or anti-piracy laws, I'd have thought.

@Absent Blue: In England you can be sent to prison for 2 years for failing to disclose the key to encrypted data (RIPA 2000). That's in addition to any sentence for the underlying crime. Plus, while you have a right to silence, the judge will instruct a jury that certain adverse inferences can be made from your…

@Curare: That certainly seems to be a reputable web-site with there being absolutely no chance of your credit card being abused or of you receiving illegal music downloads. Definitely.

@Mikeado watches too much TopGear: Cup tires plus rain. Lots of damage here so I'd say that he came into the gas station out of control and maybe he spun off a nearby road.

@MattyMattMatt: It's also false advertising because the prize of $100m actually has a net present value of $68m (before tax). Given that the prizes are taxed as income, all purchasers of lottery tickets should be able to reduce their taxable income by the purchase price of the tickets. The govt can't have it both…

As a percentage of the available 458s, this is probably akin to 2,500 Toyota Prius fires. That would certainly merit some high-level attention. New heat-shields, please.

@AndThenTheresMaude: I'm not sure the victim was fighting back here. The bag was wrapped around his finger and simply would not release.

@Matt White: They don't own the public road, nor do the traffic wardens work for the store.
