  1. Re:This is actually ok on ARIA Sells a Licence for DJs to Format Shift Music · · Score: 1

    Oh, come on now. This is just as much a load of crap as the RIAA going after barbershops that keep a radio turned up!

  2. Re:Please stay on topic on Israelis Sue Government For Laser Cannons · · Score: 1

    So why don't they just ask for some kind of CIWS?

  3. All of that? on Apple Updates iPhone and iPod Touch · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if I should feel envy or pity that you can fit your entire music library (and a few movies!) in 16GB.

  4. Re:Going back to capitalism. on What Would You Do As President? · · Score: 1

    Some proponents of the Chicago School still brag about what their boys set up when they went down to give Pinochet an invisible hand. Other people, we still get a little steamed at mass murder.

  5. Re:Going back to capitalism. on What Would You Do As President? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Abolish unions? Right to peaceably assemble much? How about, instead of becoming President, you actually study what happened the last time assholes like you were in even more control: Ever hear of the Gilded Age?

  6. Re:Not surprising... on Vinyl Gets Its Groove Back · · Score: 1

    You're off a bit here. Surface wear can be an issue, but a good stylus on a light tonearm, combined with basic care of the turntable and the records, gives you a long-lasting music connection. Vinyl doesn't break down the way the coating on a CD does, and I can still enjoy listening to many records in wonderful condition that are twice my age (23). Of course, going purely digital and just downloading lossless formats is another option, but not everyone has a good stereo system for their computer.

  7. Re:WTF? on New Jersey Bars Sex Offenders From the Internet · · Score: 1

    Yes, because history shows that every time anyone expands the list of capital crimes, the list of wrongful executions gets shorter.

  8. Re:As far as I am concerned, on Musicians Have Many Money Options Online, Says Talking Head · · Score: 1

    Yes, because you have to rock hard to shill for shoes. Sure, CDs are crap and I doubt I'll buy another one, but I've still got two turntables and pick records up every chance I get. As far as digital distribution goes, why not give someone a couple bucks? Radiohead has already made millions off In Rainbows and it hits stores Tuesday.

  9. Awesome! on The Death of High Fidelity · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I hated that movie. gonna still hang on to all my fat wax, tho

  10. Re:shower, coach, road visibility on How Would You Design Your Dream Office? · · Score: 1

    You mean couch instead of coach, right? I couldn't figure out how you'd need or work with a guy yelling the next play to you, or an old horse-drawn carriage or something.

  11. Re:Better yet on Circuit City Rewards Execs As Stock Tanks · · Score: 1

    Quit complaining about the free market, man. Those employees didn't do anything but work their butts off; they didn't invest *capital*!

  12. Re:Two points about the article's headline. on Exploit Found to Brick Most HP and Compaq Laptops · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Apple switched to Intel chips, remember? Some people like to work around things; some people thinks what Steve Jobs doesn't know won't hurt them. ;)

  13. Today, ACs learn about spam on Duke Nukem Forever Teaser Released · · Score: 1

    *cough* He's a spammer *cough* Him and that mini city guy have been all over these past couple days.

  14. Re:nested humor on Penetration Testing TV Series Coming · · Score: 1

    The best part is, as I read this, it is (Score:3, Funny)

  15. Soft on February, 2001 on Dodd's Filibuster Threat Stalls Wiretap Bill · · Score: 1

    Yeah, despite the fact that AT&T et al. were asked to do this about 2 weeks after Bush took office.

  16. Re:Now only on Dodd's Filibuster Threat Stalls Wiretap Bill · · Score: 1

    Why did this take four replies?

  17. Re:ET... on Linux-Based Phone System Phones Home · · Score: 1

    How is this modded redundant? It's the first post with any content!

  18. Re:In Communist America.. on More Details Emerge On Domestic Spying Programs · · Score: 2, Informative

    A democracy does not ideally follow the will of the majority. Ideally, it follows the law. The Constitution of the United States is set up to protect the rights of the minority, as are the rules of the American gov't. Don't conflate the will of the people with what you hear from the speaker on your television.

  19. Re:What kind of bankruptcy? on Is Shawn Fanning's Snocap melting? · · Score: 1

    Closing the shutters on the windows, obv

  20. Re:First fart! on Will Privacy Sell? · · Score: 1

    Clearly, privacy is still valuable to some morons, at least!

  21. Recidivism actually lower on Online Sex Offender Database Leads To Murder? · · Score: 1

    The recidivism rates for most child molestation crimes are actually lower than those of sexual assault on adults and many property and drug crimes.

  22. Re:What the poorer countries really need on Dvorak Slams OLPC As 'Naive Fiasco' · · Score: 1

    Yeah, NAFTA really helped the poor. Why be a dirt farmer in Oaxaca when you can go to the border and live in a toxic maquilladora?

  23. Re:3-chord covers on Guitar Hero Maker Sued - Cover Song Too Awesome · · Score: 1

    Maybe if y're in a shit band, I guess.

  24. Re:Ransom compensation model on 38% of Downloaders Paid For Radiohead Album · · Score: 1

    You mean having sponsorships for new symphonies and such? This was a very common method for new music once upon a time, after the rise of the middle class.

  25. Re:ehtical and sensible on Forbes 400 Targeted by ID Thieves · · Score: 2, Informative

    It was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_SuttonWillie Sutton, matter of fact.
