  1. Re:Share! on MPAA Targets TV Download Sites · · Score: 1

    no, that's just silly. I steal the shows then I share them with my soldier friends overseas who don't get to watch current shows in Iraq. Then the MPAA steals the BT websites I used to use, and forces the soldiers to buy pirated movies from the local vendor on the corner so they can be reminded of home.

  2. Re:oh, wow! on Pay-As-You-Drive Car Insurance · · Score: 1

    Picture this: You get carjacked. And because the carjacker assumes you have the GPS setup, he immediately appologizes and gives you all his money. He rejects his deeds of misdoing and becomes a model citizen. Suddenly, your car turns into a spaceship and you fly away into the rainbow eating honey and locusts. You become one with nature.

    Without the GPS device: the carjacker is confused and scared and asks you for directions.

    Carjackers aren't going to be more likely to commit murder if you have theft deterrents. they will be more likely to find a different fucking car.

    On topic: My premium would probably go up, because the desert road I commute on is lined dozens of crosses....

  3. Re:Discipline the other kids, please. on Building Social Skills in Gifted Youths? · · Score: 1

    Hey, give us your address so we can help you out by teaching your kid a thing or two. I'd really like the chance to teach your child so that it knows what hairstyle is the cool one, and which skateboard label is the one to wear. I'm sure in no time at all, enough of us out here in "life" can get some of those coping mechanisms to turn on in your child. You want your kid to learn lessons in tears? Give us the chance, buddy.

    Hey, don't feel bad. When you sleep with someone, you are sleeping with every person they've slept with, and every person they've slept with and so on and so on. Now that works for the other women with the boobies and the smartness. She's sleeping with your ex, and so she is also sleeping with you in a way. Just a thought to get you thru your lonely nights.

  5. Onslaught on Linux & Mac UT2004 Demos · · Score: 1

    Is where it's at. Though the one assault map is pretty intense due to the high speeds. Intense like Joe Piscapo.

  6. Re:IM me u2 on Downsides to Intrafamily IM? · · Score: 1

    My wife and I often have our headphones on, so we can't hear each other talking. It works, but since we've got a 3 year old now, we can't both be on the computer at once so we don't do a lot of msging anymore. I did this with my brother and sister when I used to live at home, rather than go get things. It's nice to send a msg to your sister at the other end of the house, and have her appear a minute later with a coke and some cookies.

  7. Re:star something or another on Shatner to Record Another Album · · Score: 0, Troll

    No, but seriously, I like the Shatner version of Rocketman. Why does everyone give him shit for his Immaculate Conception pauses? They leave me in antici..................pation.

    he was on some space show too wasn't he?

    One wouldn't really be under the influence at the job anymore, which is what we're told is the reason for the drug tests.

  10. Re:I'm Glad on RIAA Tactical Legal Victory vs SBC · · Score: 1

    You're lucky if you have a choice of high speed ISPs. Most of us are stuck with whatever the local utiliy monopolies can provide.

  11. Re:RIAA is just a corrupt oligarchy on RIAA Tactical Legal Victory vs SBC · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They aren't even mediating for the artists, but for the labels. Nearly all of the extra money they've received as results of these litigations have just gone into the coffers and not into the pockets of artists.

  12. I'm Glad on RIAA Tactical Legal Victory vs SBC · · Score: 5, Funny

    It is nice that the ISPs are kind of sticking up for us. I mean, if it wasn't for all the free music we get I'm sure $50 bucks might be too much for internet access.

  13. Re:woohoo on Fox Considering a Return of "Family Guy" · · Score: 1

    it is because Capt'n Murphy is dead in RL. I don't know how they will replace him.

  15. Re:This feels dirty on iPod-Jacked · · Score: 5, Funny

    First you're sharing music with fellow joggers in the park on a sunday morning. Next thing you find yourself in the public restroom sitting on the wrong side of a glory hole wondering what went wrong...

  16. I used to do this on iPod-Jacked · · Score: 2, Interesting

    but with my minidisc player, it had 2 output jacks, so I'd let other people listen in. I've always wanted to be able to hear what others were listening to in their cars. I thought about somehow boosting the range on a FM modulator and letting people listen in on my mp3s.

    This is one of the happiest moments of my life. The only happier one will be if it does come back on.
    Now if only there was some way to raise from the dead Harry Goz. I want my sealab2021 back too.

    You got me there! I'll settle for 185 degree coffee dumped in your lap. Then you can tell me about the facts and the case I'm trying to make.

    You, sir, must be incredibly blissful.

  21. Re:Frivolous McDonald's Lawsuit on Gangs Extort Companies With DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    Clearly you are missing the point. The number of people who filed complaint with corporate McDonalds does not mean only 700 people were burned. The point isn't how many people. The point is the coffee burned this 79 year old lady so bad, she was hospitalized for 8 weeks and underwent skin grafts. She only initally requested $20,000, but McD's refused so she took them too court.

    Why not get yourself a pot of boiling coffee and dump it in your lap before you post again AC explaining how it is not "too hot".

  22. Re:Frivolous McDonald's Lawsuit on Gangs Extort Companies With DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    From what I remember of the story, she sued not because the coffee was spilled, or hot. But that it was so hot it caused 3rd degree burns. 3rd degree burns. Apparently there were over 700 reports of burns from coffee that was over 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Now I'm as much against frivolous lawsuits as the next guy, but come on, coffee is a hot drink, not a burn your flesh in seconds drink.

    On the topic's note about the extortion. GOOD. I'm looking forward to a cyberpunk dark future. I'm going to get a gun and fight evil clowns, and hack and use monowire, and get a light tattoo. I hope there is more of this anticorporate stuff.
