  1. Re:Eighth Amendment - One Line on In Round 2, Jammie Thomas Jury Awards RIAA $1,920,000 · · Score: 1

    The foundation of your statement is based on the misguided premise that the America created by our founding fathers still exists.

    America is dead, the only sad part is that there are no new lands to flee to.

  2. Re:there's opportunity in this on US Plans To Bulldoze 50 Shrinking Cities · · Score: 1

    Moving mid to the midwest my blah blah blah.

    Ohio makes Cuba look like a democracy, inbred political establishment, government corruption, you name it.
    No rail or public transit to speak of, Paris Hilton couldn't get a taxi if she laid naked in the street.
    The only lists Ohio shows up in the top 10 on are things like fattest state, states with greatest population loss, states with greatest loss of fortune 500 companies.
    Ohio will be a destination state when GW finds WMD's in Iraq.

  3. Re:April plenty of time on Windows 7 Licensing a "Disaster" For XP Shops · · Score: 1

    Ya just in time for April FOOLS day.

  4. Theres only one thing to say about that on Windows 7 Licensing a "Disaster" For XP Shops · · Score: 0, Troll

    I love Linux and my Mac

  5. Nicole's Cooter? on Opera 10.0 Released, With Integrated Web Server Functionality · · Score: 1

    Pretty funny user name for the person giving the demo in the video hehe "niclescooter"...

  6. Re:Overpriced on Canada Telecoms Launch Mobile Payment Service · · Score: 1

    Only, it's not very practical as a currency now, is it?

  7. Re:Overpriced on Canada Telecoms Launch Mobile Payment Service · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Agreed... sounds more like a mobile bank-robbing service.

    Cash is King

  8. Fabulous on Introducing the Warpship · · Score: 0, Troll

    Man invented the wheel.... again.

  9. Tatoos are inexpensive and oh so vogue on Administration Wants To Scale Back Real ID Law · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why not just tattoo a number on people. Hear it worked real well about 60 years ago.

    I'd be curious are people here more apprehensive about the intrusive government or terrorists?

    When can I have my America back?

  10. Simple really on Scientists Wonder What Fingerprints Are For · · Score: 1

    Fingerprints are for creating jobs for law enforcement, all part of the master plan.

  11. There's no such thing as Digital Rights on How Should a Constitution Protect Digital Rights? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There's only human rights. Separate the medium/media from the rights. By example the postal mail and digital mail. Constitutional rights in the United States were lost to the medium. Simply because the medium changed from paper to digital the tyrants in Washington DC felt they were entitled to read our mail. And remember a true Democracy does not rely on a Department of Homeland Stupidity.

  12. And to top it off on Microsoft's Free AV App May Be a Non-Starter · · Score: 2, Funny

    There's a type in the product name - they forgot the 'n' at the end.

  13. No threat to doctors on Teen Diagnoses Her Own Disease In Science Class · · Score: 1

    Few will be eager to perform self-administered colonoscopies....

  14. Here's a little rhyme I copyrighted on Senator Applauds Pirate Bay Trial, Chides Canada · · Score: 4, Funny

    Orrin Hatch reminds of putrid old snatch. (C) 2009 all rights reserved

  15. Bill Gates, of course on Who Would Want To Be Obama's Cybersecurity Czar? · · Score: 1

    Arguably, few have had more experience dealing with gaping software security vulnerabilities than the big kahuna himself.

  16. Ah yes on Homeland Security To Scan Citizens Exiting US · · Score: 1

    The Department of Homeland Stupidity at it's finest. Why not just tattoo and incinerate them to make sure they don't come back.

  17. Re:Waste of fuel on Is Playing a DVD Harder Than Rocket Science? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Absolutely, how retarded is NASA to waste payload capacity on the medium when the movie itself is weightless.

  18. The good news is that it is easy to cure on Bitterness To Be Classified As a Mental Illness · · Score: 1

    Instead of prescribing pills, doctors will prescribe bullets... bitterness all gone ;)

  19. Typical for a CEO with no vision on Sony CEO Proposes "Guardrails For the Internet" · · Score: 1

    Corporate Dissonance at it's finest. That is what happens when you become CEO because of who you know rather than what you know. So lets see - Sony one of RIAAS premier benefactors - chooses to litigate instead of innovate and it's the Internet's fault. Perhaps Sony would be better off with a CEO with a little more vision.

  20. That's one person's opinion... on Why Starting a Legal Online Music Vendor Is Tough · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The article clearly states that it is merely an 'Opinion' note the upper left hand corner tag.

    Other than that I would offer another view. There's still plenty of opportunity to grow online music.

    When the dust settles, many moons from now, the emerging model will be a hybrid between what Napster was and iTunes is. It will probably emerge outside of the US because the morons on Capitol Hill are too quick to appease the idiots at RIAA. But it will emerge. Think Janis Ian and many more like her.

    Of course if by some miraculous turn of events RIAA decides to invest in technology instead of lawyers it may start here, but don't hold your breath. Blinded by greed, crippled by stupidity.

  21. Re:No Such Company. on Speculation On Large-Scale Phone Location Snooping · · Score: 1

    Never heard of them

  22. Re:More reason? on The Google Navy · · Score: 1

    Eh semantics really. Taxes would be replaced by patent royalty fees, censorship by terms of service - the violation of which would invalidate the license to float... etc....

  23. Just a symptom... on FAA's Aging Flight-Plan System Having Problems · · Score: 1

    Sure you can treat the symptom, but the problem still persists.

    Perhaps a modern society requires more than 1 option for high-speed public transportation - high speed rail perhaps?

    Perhaps this is why Mr. Buffett sees long-term value in rail road investment?

    While the sky can support vast numbers aircraft, the Air Traffic Controllers cannot. Go ahead spend billions on the symptom. The real problem still persists.

  24. Here's the finger I use to page up and down on Microsoft Patents "Pg Up" and "Pg Dn" · · Score: 1

    It salutes the patent trolls.

    Hehe lawyers create great software don't they???

    Exemplifies quite well how desperate MS or rather Ballmer is...

    Let's see when he came in their stock was around $112.00 in January 2000, today $27.29.... Great job Steve.

    Perhaps for your next hat trick you could go run Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, they can only go up... LOL you loser!!!

  25. Duh.... on Tracking the Terrorists Online · · Score: 1

    according to dictionary.com:

    terÂrorÂism
    1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes.

    So... in the world today that leaves us with Al Qaeda and the United States of America.

    So having two people found two companies to do this seems pretty logical.

    Is there a real story here or were you just trying to fill up some white space.
