@Squirrelbot3000: no, there is no electromagnetic radiation involved in communicating over a wired connection. And all internet wireless operates well above 100 MHz. As does all cell phone communication. I'm not sure on television, but i believe they are above FM radio in frequency, so that's also a no go. In…

@Islandkiwi: Obama has personally come out very much against the side of net neutrality on other issues (See his views relating to the prosecution of file sharing), while his vice president was one of the senators who drafted FISA, the precursor to the patriot act. So overall the idea that Obama himself supports the…
@Squirrelbot3000: But that law is specifically worded to include only radio communications, which operate on the sufferance of the federal government to begin with. ISP's, on the other hand, are not subject to the same restrictions at all. Also, it specifically requires compensation for lost service, while I don't…
@PiNPOiNT: well I suppose that depends on your finances. If you can't afford to get a new card and you need one to play the newest games, you can play all your old ones without spending any more money, which is not true of the OnLive service.
@Maori_Yelir: and furthermore, your don't have to continually pay a fee to have access to games you already bought. If steam required a monthly subscription, it would be much less successfull
@kobeyu: also, 4 rechargable AA's don't cost $100, so this device will not, in fact, save anyone any money.
@WHODAT!Cordfucious of Tech Clan: Read the comment please (or do you see somewhere in the article where it mentions how often the software pings?
Capsaicin(the 'hot' in tabasco sauce) only effects mammals, so birds are immune. Mix some tabasco sauce in with the bird feed an the squirrels will avoid it like the plague.
@thinkerer: really? My audio amp has an rms output of 35W... aren't most strings of christmas lights rated at about 25W?
@DeeJayQueue: Also, don't LED's require DC current or some sort of adapter? Because the sound signals coming out of your amplifier leads are certainly closer to AC.
@KentonBomb: Well, there's two things going on there. Number one, the biggest complaint people have about linux is that it's hard to use, while ease of use is widely touted as OS X's greatest strength. Also, as people regularly pay hundreds of dollars for the "privilege" of using OS X, they must be doing something…
@Guard: "The point is that the user should not have to find a more advanced user to set things up for them." What planet are you living on? How many lifehacker readers regularly have to "fix" windows computers for their parents/clueless friends? As for the wine thing, that's really something that should be done on…
@atomicrabbit: That usually come with a fee attached, though. :(
@timgray: You're probably better off just encrypting your entire disk. If someone is going to try and steal your data, they will probably mount your drive in another system rather than booting from it, as this makes it much easier to bypass certain OS-based security measures.
@LucyManius: See, I don't feel like I should need an explicit contract and extra fees in order to get a service that works as advertised. If I subscribe to a magazine, I expect more than a "best effort" that it will arrive in my mailbox every month. When my power goes out, service reps don't usually assume that I'm…
@Midknight: This is a great legal way for students to learn how to use software without breaking their budget so that they can one day become loyal customers. What is your actual question?
@McWhammer: "Pirating is theft, and you are the lowest lifeform if you do it." Wow, the pimps, crack dealers, and Nazi war criminals of the world just got bumped up a notch. Seriously though, if you want to sound like a reasonable person, not a troll, maybe read these things before you post them. You can have an…
@abhiroop: Wait, I'm confused. When did Apple become a law enforcement agency? Can any major corporation decide to enforce the law on their own, or just big ones that attack marginalized cultures? While you can argue that bittorrent is used more for copyright infringement than for getting linux ISOs, the fact…
