  1. Re:Doom 3 on Games They'd Like Us To Forget · · Score: 1

    Sweet zombie jesus, am I the ONLY ONE with a CRT? Doom 3 was an amazing horror game if you had a high-quality monitor to play it on. Some dim flat-panel just doesn't work.

  2. Re:Nothing on that list for me... on Best Places To Work In IT · · Score: 1

    If foreign labor is driving down wages, perhaps you're being payed too much. Americans don't seem to realize that being undercut is a sign of a problem with THEM, and THEIR job choice.

  3. Re:Paperwork? on Pressure Is On IBM To Forgive Millions In IT Debt · · Score: 1

    If I was the school district, I'd just file a PayPal dispute.

  4. Re:Hackers should be able to liberate this content on Microsoft Shells Out $50 Million For GTA IV Content · · Score: 1

    We can already rip content from 360 HDDs. It'd be simple to reverse-engineer the system for loading in the content and port it over.

  5. Re:Time is Money on The Life of the Chinese Gold Farmer · · Score: 1

    Some people just like to feel big, and if they can't do it by making themselves bigger they'll do it by surrounding themselves with smaller people. If hanging out with midgets is wrong, then hey I don't wanna be right.
  6. Re:Very difficult to listen to this record. on Even Century Old Records Had Restrictive Licensing · · Score: 1

    The EULA only allows "producing sound directly from the record". I don't think that would allow playing it on a record player, as the player is a device that indirectly produces sound. An electronic one, yes, but not one with simply a needle and a horn.

    Erm, the PS3?

  8. Re:Hey, they never claimed it was! on Nuke-Proof Bunker Turns Out Not Waterproof · · Score: 1

    what about the fallout from a nuclear attack? Seeing as so much is soluble in water, that's probably the last thing we want leaking in to a shelter. Ahem, this is politics. Not science.
  9. Re:Easy answer to this one... on Piracy More Serious Than Bank Robbery? · · Score: 1

    First thing you'd do when entering the bank would be to shout "are any of you copyright lawyers?", then proceed to shoot any of them in the legs. *sigh*

    In a perfect society, you'd get a reduced sentence for aiming at their heads.
  10. Re:WTF? on Piracy More Serious Than Bank Robbery? · · Score: 1

    I pirate an album and Britney Spears loses 2 dollars. More like 50 cents.

    Bah, you shoulda seen mine... a solid 8 inches across! Now I can't even find anywhere to use it...

    Holy shit it's growing back!

  14. Re:Apple is Pro-Apple on Apple's DRM Whack-a-Mole · · Score: 1

    He could easily afford to have the iPod produced in more accetapble conditions BUT that would hurt the bottom-line. So he chooses to do the absolute minimum needed to keep the humanrights watchers from having to much ammo and rolls in the profits.
    You're right, all manufacturing should be done at highly inflated union prices in western nations. To hell with all those starving families in ***istan that need those jobs to pay for food.

    Heaven help the poor sap if someone were to steal his cellphone. or his wallet. or his briefcase. or his laptop. Time to wake up, misssssster Freeman... wake up, and f-f-find my briefcassssse.

  17. Re:Children learning products instead of concepts? on A School District's Education in Free Software · · Score: 1

    Learning should be focused on cultivating concepts and ideas that can be applied to a broad range of implementations; not churning out specifically Java or C# developers. Get off my lawn!
  18. Re:Switching to Windows on A School District's Education in Free Software · · Score: 1

    When you click on "find out why", it logs your IP, subpoenaes your ISP, and sues you for patent violations.

  19. Re:Congratulations to them, but... on A School District's Education in Free Software · · Score: 1

    The whole point of computers in schools is to familiarise students with them. There's always going to be at least one uber-geek able to take down the whole network with a flick of the wrist. Anecdotal evidence does not setup your computer to be the most secure platform. But 30 years of being used extensively in large, multi-user systems without major failures does. UNIX is inherently more stable in a large system than Windows.
  20. Re:Toppling the Top Guy on Privacy Group Gives Google Lowest Possible Grade · · Score: 1

    This is a classic trick of anti-capitalist lefties (and looking at who is on their committees, there's a whole bunch of them). We cannot allow a mine-shaft gap!
  21. Re:Satire on Alan Cox on Patent Law and GPLv3 · · Score: 1

    Just make a copy of some leaked code, comment it with knock-knock jokes, then distribute the source. Problem solved!

  22. Re:He's Right on Alan Cox on Patent Law and GPLv3 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    When I buy a car, I can take a sludge hammer to it. I can chop it up into tiny pieces and re-sell it. I can repaint it, put new seats in, I can even replace the engine. Why should software be any different? Are there any other industries protected by such a strong veil? You're obviously [stealing cars and running a chop shop in your garage | a hacker destroying our computer systems]. Please wait while the police make their way to your house.

  25. Re:Oblig. on Star Wars Takes Over Harvard Commencement · · Score: 1

    The leg-up it gives you on every Romance language is worth a year of language classes, at least. I feel we're getting fairly offtopic here, but I'll continue: you could get the same basis with Spanish, or French, or any other *current* language, plus you get the benefit of learning the native language of a number of real, present-day countries. I stand by my point that Latin has no practical (non-historical) use.
