Comment on Warning: Current Phone Scam by Boiler Repairs

I already heard about this one from a friend in Canada. As a business we get a lot of calls as we have multiple numbers.

The first time I asked them to explain what the “Internet Routing Department” was, but they hung up on me. The next time I asked them which country the “Internet Routing Department” was based in and the said “California” then hung up.

The third time I just played along. She got as far as asking me to press Windows Key +R and tell her what came up on the screen. As I was driving I bluffed and said a lot of file names. She said I was wasting her time, and I told her she was
A F**KING SCAMMER.

We have the gps to do geocaching, but have never quite figured it out. Is there a local group to meet up with (near Thornton/Brighton)?

Comment on Is It All In The Genes? by Signs of Cancer

With cancer being the second leading cause of death, I want to see it eradicated. I don’t know if this is completely possible, but we do have a place to start. We can learn and educate about the signs and symptoms of cancer in order to achieve earlier diagnoses. Some cancers are curable if found early enough. This is why I yearn to teach the signs of cancer! Thank you for this site and please continue to teach!

Comment on BBC: “Broadcast Before Consent”? by Phil Jones

Ok, so the copying thing is moot (everyone who has clicked your yfrog link has a locally cached copy!).

You are worried about redistribution without accreditation.

Why not set up your own photosharing service that lets users pick a license for their pictures, with a specific statement on the site that users copyright/copyleft should be respected (like https://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/7883). You could then get the EFF to help you follow up any violations where commercial entities try to redistribute.

Do I really need to answer that??!!

Can you not see the difference between showing someone where something is (a link) and simply copying it and giving it to someone else without explaining that it’s not your own work (copying and redistributing)?
