  1. oh great, so this means more brittany/pepsi ads on TiVo Watches the Super Bowl · · Score: 1


    thanks to the lovely stats, now we all are going to see more CRAP advertisements.

  2. shoutcast-satellite is the answer! on Satellite Radio Is Officially Here · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I am a huge fan of shoutcast powered internet music stations. There is a large amount of different formats out there too. If there was a shoutcast type broadcast, I think there would be a lot more interest. I would be thrilled if I could listen to my internet radio station in my truck! Shoutcast is free (you need bandwidth tho!) but I would imagine this would require some hefty rates to be able to broadcast via the satellite radio. Since I have my own shoutcast station, I could make my own playlists too! Heck, if the price was right, and you could get a satellite relay, you could listen to your own music anywhere!

  3. bah! cane the wanker on Mafiaboy Gets His Wrist Slapped · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think a public caning and the revoking of his access to computers for a year or two would be better. If more people got an ass beating for being a punk, I think it would have a better effect than locking them up with other criminals.

  4. Re:not only at schools... on E-mail Overload: Welcome Back to School · · Score: 1

    amen...

    I wanna make a big wooden stick and label it FTP. Then go around and beat any moron who thinks sending a 5 meg attachment is "ok".

  5. Re:What are the 15 year olds REALLY doing on the n on The Rise Of The 15-Year-Olds · · Score: 1

    You forgot the % of time spent DoS`ing IRC networks.

  6. gee, imagine that... on Code Red Back For More · · Score: 1

    I was wondering when this mutant roach would be released. How much longer till more "mimin" type ugly bugs are sent out? -quackPOT

  7. one time purchase on Do We Spend More On Linux Or Windows? · · Score: 1

    I bought SuSE 5.3 back in the day. Ever since I have always dl'd whatever distro I wanted to run. The "evaluation" SuSE distros work fine for what I need. I've never bought any M$ OS's seperate, they've always been included in the new computer I buy. I generally purchase a new computer every 3 years or so. I definately spend more $ on Windows machines than I do Linux. My job spends tons of $ on M$ and Adobe stuff. Thankfully my boss is open to Linux and we are migrating several of our services to being linux based. In doing this, we are saving lots of money.

  8. Re:If you're looking for more on this... on Payola: Another Brick in the Wall · · Score: 1

    That frontline TV episode was great! A MUST SEE for anyone who buys CDs or has ever watched MTV. I know people who work for clear channel and I've heard things that make me wonder about the mass buy up of these radio stations.

    "During the first quarter of 2001, we acquired 126 radio stations in 36 markets...."

    yikes!

  9. Really rich people bitching about not being richer on Shut Down Metallica, Not Napster · · Score: 1

    That's what this is all about. F*ck metallica. They are digging their own grave. I will personally make available every single metallica mp3 I have to gnutella (sorry napster I like it better) and on my ftp. They are beyond rich, and yet they cry like little pussies that they are losing money. Less people are getting wealthy and MORE people are getting poor. It because of ideals of people like metallica that all these rich mofo's think they can own us. Screw buying overpriced cds from these companies and groups anymore. I have gnutella, DSL, a huge HD, and a burner. Never will I pay 15+ (getting closer to $20 a pop usually) bucks for a cd again!
