  1. How about repealing the DMCA? by AFCArchvile · · Score: 1 · on Status Report On Key Internet Legislation
    There's too many proprietary standards out there. Sure, the purpose of patents is to give credit to the inventor, but come on, we shouldn't have to hand our first-born to Rob Glaser just because he happened to be the one who developed RealNetworks!

    I think that media standards should be free. Standardized, but free. That way, we can view/listen to media on whatever we want (or however we can). I'd love to see the first Windows DVD player based on DeCSS (come on, someone take a risk, then print the source code of THAT on t-shirts and make a song of the source code!)

    Personally, I think that Sony wants to turn the children of America into this. IMHBNNHO (In my honest but not necessarily humble opinion), Sony is the epitome of why we should perhaps start another war against Japan. This time, we take back the sanity, money and livelihood that have been stolen from us by Sony Comsumer Electronics , Pokémon, and the many animé houses in Japan. To quote from that song by The Vapors, "Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so!" The only Japanese company I really like is Kawasaki; I thank them for making those double-decker train cars which get us lemmings into Boston every morning!

  5. There is NO such thing as ADD by Nichademus · · Score: 1 · on Video Games and ADD

    ADD is a bogus excuse for parents that don't/won't discipline their children. They claim their children have ADD so that they don't have to take any responsibility for being negligent in their children's discipline. Many, perhaps millions, think that if they give their children drugs it will cure ADD. The only thing that children need is love and discipline. You can't cure a non-existent disease. The funny thing is the epitome of this "supposed" ADD can be summed up in episode 404 of South Park. I'm not saying that children must be beaten to behave. I'm saying give your children instructions and make sure they follow them.

    And if that doesn't work, then technical expert Bill Nye should build a baking-soda volcano in Comedy Central's CEO's executive offices.

    Robot Wars had that guy from Red Dwarf!

    But Battlebots does have that babe from Baywatch. She makes up for her absent geek-value with other, ahem, assets.

  8. Be an active viewer, please! by abischof · · Score: 4 · on Battlebots Starting On Comedy Central Tonight
    I'm watching this show right now, and it's really cool :). Unfortunately, the networks tend to be kinda stupid in this regard -- all the cool shows like this always seem to go off the air.

    So, please write to Comedy Central, or even advertisers, to tell them how much you like the show :). I think that's the only hope we'll have of keeping the show around.

  11. Re:www.ScrewLars.com by Sonicboom · · Score: 1 · on Metallica Remains Silent
    I guess Metallica was against theft when they had a "bootlegger's section" on their black album tour.

    I guess they were against theft back then too. They're a bunch of f***ing hypocrites!

    Get your facts straight.

    Now it's all about Timmy!

  16. Re:That thing sounds fantastic by GeorgeH · · Score: 2 · on Tivo Source Code Released
    1) Recording stuff based on what you've enjoyed in the past is all well and good -- but won't your viewing get more and more homogenous? Maybe they could build communities, so that people could recommend stuff to each other, or something -- some human element to keep it from getting too samey.
    What you want is called "collaborative filtering." Imagine if the TiVo kept track of what you watch, and submitted it to their central database, along with everyone else's watching habits. They could then look for patterns, such as you watch the Tom Green show and you watch Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. Then it could match your patterns against other people's patterns, ie most people who watch Tom Green and Space Ghost also tune in to the Daily Show. The TiVo could then suggest watching the Daily Show.

    If people use it to plan events to watch, it could even notice that people who watch Space Ghost and Tom Green have programmed their TiVo's to record the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on PBS, and ask you if you want to do the same. Privacy concerns aside, this would be welcomed by most people, but wouldn't prevent homogeny in their TV viewing. Then again, most people don't mind homogeny, they even encourage it.

    BTW, if this all sounds familiar, think back to the days of yore and Firefly.
