  1. Ipod Tax on Canadian Music Industry Wants Subscriber Disclosure Without Court Oversight · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Isn't that the premium you pay for anything with an apple logo on it?

  2. So whats new? on Canadian Music Industry Wants Subscriber Disclosure Without Court Oversight · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The recording industry makes unreasonable demands. . Cue 500 angry comments on Slashdot and other similar sites

    Rinse, Repeat.

    Is this the recording indusries plan? To beat the public and legistlators into submission with their continued and relentless demands?

    To spam each country with such requests in the hope that one will be foolish enough to fall for it? I never knew that big Media emerged from Nigeria

    It was Dangerous

  4. Re:But I thought... on Brain Scan Can Detect Autism In Infants · · Score: 1

  5. Re:And not one mention on Eternal Copyright: a Modest Proposal · · Score: 1

    I do not see why not, after all, he must have obtained the necessary permissions from and paid the appropriate royalties to the Swift family for the use of the title. Surely as a part of the proposed eternal copyright laws, this would extend to Names, Titles and Ideas?

  6. Re:And not one mention on Eternal Copyright: a Modest Proposal · · Score: 2

    That explains why we, the public, have moved from being "citizens" to being "consumers"

  7. And not one mention on Eternal Copyright: a Modest Proposal · · Score: 4, Funny

    I kept waiting for the baby eating, but it never happened.

  8. Re:Text messaging on FCC Cracks Down on Robocalls · · Score: 1

    With my carrier it depends on which country you roam to how high your roaming charges are and they do get steep.. but wow! 50X

  9. Re:Text messaging on FCC Cracks Down on Robocalls · · Score: 4, Informative

    Glad I don't live in the US - The whole paying to receive calls and messages is unheard of here (NZ) and as far as I am aware, most other countries around the world. . Unless roaming and then I believe universally you are pinged with exorbitant cost.

  10. Re:Thank you, Europe on Yet Another European Government Drops ACTA · · Score: 1

    As do us here in New Zealand

  11. Re:DISINFORMATION. Already in widespread use. on Brain Implants Can Detect What Patients Hear · · Score: 1

    I can vouch that this is true. As a once high ranking "general" in the NWO, I oversaw the deployment of such devices to many individuals. Generally we searched out ill informed, paranoid crazies for this sort of work - After all, when you are intent in developing a world in your image, for your own means, there is no better "cluster" of individuals to keep your third eye on.

    Once we abducted these individuals we would take them to our underground labs - the ones provided to us and shared with the "greens". Here we would implant 3 bits of tech, one just behind the left ear (receiver), one just behind the right (transmitter) and an anal probe (signal boosting antenna). Much of this tech was developed in collaboration with the greens and Tesla who I believe is still chief science officer for the NWO.

    My being excluded from the NWO is a story for another time, but the only reason I am alive to tell you this tale now is that I have been using this technology myself to track my would-be assassins.

  12. beat me to it. . on Brain Implants Can Detect What Patients Hear · · Score: 1

    I was contemplating following this line of research, but it seems that these guys got there before me. Must have read my mind!

  13. Doubt Sony will on Should Next-Gen Game Consoles Be Upgradeable? · · Score: 5, Funny

    It is too much of a change from the current gen being downgradable.

  14. Re:Why would anyone care about this? on Sinclair ZX81 Made Out of Lego · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I must be the only one in the world excited by this - Only because it taught me about the existance of the Lego Digital Designer - and it runs in wine!

  15. Itb in a knife on Victorinox Makes 1TB Swiss Army Knife · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's cutting edge!

  16. Re:Et tu, Netherlands? on Dutch Court Forces ISPs To Block the Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    The problem is really "Free Trade agreements" It seems every country wants one with the US, and one of the standard clauses is to tighten up on copyright, media consumption laws.

    Why?

    Mostly, as you said because the media conglomerates have been lobbying for the US to "Protect the nations intellectual property so that the US will make more money" and the local versions of the RIAA in these other countries (that are made up of the same businesses) have been pushing their politicians to accept these agreements so that their companies will make more money and not lose it to them evil pirates.

  20. Dominant Females on Mouse Sperm Cells Grown In Vitro · · Score: 5, Funny

    So now they propose using mice as some sort of external testicles. (furry flesh bags used for containing and growing sperm). Small and portable enough to carry in a pocket, purse or such?

    People used to tell me that my wife carried my balls in her handbag - this brings it closer to relaity.

    A man or a mouse?

    And not that I always RTFA, it seems these are a favourite for Slashdot to link to.

  23. Larger Pages on Average Web Page Approaches 1MB · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And Less Content. .

    I remeber the days when a site would include an 10 paragraph article on one page - Not 10 pages with a paragraph on each.

    I agree with the principles of unions but agree totally about the way they are run and thusly despise them also.
