Uhhh... To be fair, isn't the federal government too big. That means there are too many federal jobs. What the President can do is fire a bunch of federal workers. Like Boehner said, the federal government created 200,000 FEDERAL jobs last year. He blames that on the President. We need to...

Maybe 80,000 webpages, but we're talking about one domain. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only one who can really sue is the guy who lost business. (moo.com) Moo.com is not the internet. It's one business on the web. Not that they shouldn't be able to sue for damages. The real question...

While IQ tests do measure some problem solving, spacial recognition, and what not; they also measure exposure to classic literature, certain words, and various other things that have little to do with intelligence and more to do with social environment. One other unrelated observation: The...

Somebody is really missing the boat here if you think it's exaggerated. If anything it's been underestimated. People are so used to dealing with kids copying malware around and pirating music, or organized criminals trying to empty bank accounts, that they tend not to think about what is...

UAC is an important security feature. Anyone who thinks it isn't is seriously confused about what it is. It's true you can get a lot of prompts if you don't know what you're doing, but on a well run system UAC is not that big a deal. It's also true that it isn't a silver bullet, or the end...

Not only is this not a huge security flaw. It's not a security flaw at all. All I see is that there are huge numbers of people that don't understand IPv6. If you're using a transition mechanism that embeds the IPv4 address in an IPv6 address, then the mere fact that you have the IPv6 address...

There is no excuse for killing people even if you think they are guilty. Just because someone is convicted, does not mean they really did it. It just means a few people thought they did it. These days it's way too easy to stir up a mob mentality about these things. If you have a hand in...

It is clear to me that this was blown way out of proportion before anyone knew what was going on. "NewEgg is lying" "NewEgg bought grey market goods" "I saw the pictures..." There is so much BS flying around. All the pictures that I've seen have been OPENED BOXES! That means everyone who...

I think the issue here is that Kyle appears to be lumping NewEgg in with the people that sold the non-functional CPUs which clearly were going to be discovered sooner or later. These aren't functional, and as soon as you plug them in you'd figure that out, if not before. Newegg replaced them...

The issue is not whether Microsoft or Google will respond to legal requests for information. Nor does IE = Bing and Google Search = Chrome. (One's a browser. The other is a search page.) The issue is that Google's CEO doesn't appear to think privacy is important. For those that don't...

Have you read the privacy policy. It has all the standard disclaimers. http://www.tivo.com/abouttivo/policies/tivoprivacypolicy.html They reserve the right to offer services in the future, and will share data with service providers, and that data will be governed by the privacy policy of...

Ahhh... Grow up! Don't accuse the police of not doing their jobs. You got a violent crowd. You got the guy who caused it. You ask the guy to disperse the crowd. Guy says, "no". You now have the cause of the problem. End of story. Sure there are other ways to handle the crowd, but do you...

Microsoft sold an Xbox for full price, with the expectation that users would get certain features. By banning the boxes, they are stealing back value from a box for which they already took money. It's one thing to ban an account, but quite another to take away value from something for which...

Not only does it look like the fire truck was already past by the time she reached where she hit the ground, and she hit the ground outside the path of the fire truck, meaning the truck never touched her... There is no mention of where on google streets this is... therefore no way to confirm...

This whole topic is rediculous! Most of the HardOCP readers probably know that every OS out there bundles a browser with the OS. Microsoft is not using a monopoly to compete in another market because it's the same market. Further more the whole idea of competing in a browser market is...

It's all about greed. If the record companies had their way it would be pay per listen at a $1 each listen to a song. I don't get too excited about music anymore. When they all want to be millionares for writing or producing a single song, I don't see a way to make them happy. As soon as...

You tout Apple because it can do X. When Microsoft can do X, you get mad because they "copied" Apple. (Yeah, you guys probably don't remember who Apple copied, do you?) You say Apple is all about the experience, but when Bill starts talking about experience, you start complaining that Apple...
