    "We hate your blind worship of capitalism and Brittney Spears."

    OK, you might have us on the capitalism thing, but Spears has been a on-going joke for almost a decade now.

  2. Re:Heh on GPS Tracking Without a Warrant Declared Legal · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What would Obama have to do with this anyway? This is the result of a case from 2007.

  3. Absurd on RIAA President Says Copyright Law "Isn't Working" · · Score: 1

    I've personally seen situations where the copyright watch dogs have issued takedown notices on an artist's own YouTube channel. It was only a temporary thing, but if they can't be trusted to even know when it's obviously a legit posting, how can they be trusted for anything?

  4. Re:A fool and his money... on Calling Shenanigans On Super SATA's Claimed Audio Qualities · · Score: 1

    If you're referring to what I think you are, they are called "deniers" because they deny the proof that is presented. A more accurate term would be "willfully ignorant"

    If there is a more gullible group of people than audiophiles, I haven't met them.

  7. Re:Don't target cars on Is a US High-Speed Railway Economically Feasible? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Some people would do it because it's more cost-effective, less stressful, or even because it's more energy efficient.

    Obviously you're not one of those people.

  8. Re:Where there's a will, there's a way. on Is a US High-Speed Railway Economically Feasible? · · Score: 1

    I ride Amtrak where possible, 4 hour trip to Seattle, 8 hours to Vancouver B.C. no driving, just sit back and watch the scenery.

    Um, use public transportation?

    I don't think grub has much to fear from an agent who can't consistently spell his last name correctly

    If I wanted one (I don't) I could go to the local Apple Store here in Oregon and pick one up. No shipping, no tax.

    I love the libertarian answer for everything. Of course that answer doesn't prevent the problems from occurring or stop preventable deaths.

    Why don't we go ahead and trash the food safety regulations too? After a couple dozen deaths from E.coli the affected restaurant will be out business.

    I submit this comment from the article as proof:

    "Who cares
    The aging gamers who enjoyed the magnovox or gleco vision wont be around much longer so what's the point in preserving shitting games? I know that they must feel nastalgia for these cause i just bought a sega collection disk for my 360 but i could careless if the games on that disk are gone in the future cause there will be way better games. Frankly its a waste of time to emulate all this simple games like pong or those super super garbage rpgs. Ya for nonresponsive controls and pixelated graphics!!!"

    Back in the day, I would have killed for an A1200, even now I'll consider maiming for one. My other machines (besides the A500) I've come across at garage sales, but I've never seen an A1200 in the wild.

    I'm a fanboy, still have my A500 an A1000 and an A2000HD - never have been able to get a SCSI cd-rom working in the 2000, unfortunately.

    Who exactly is Media Matters suing? Last I checked, being affiliated with a political movement didn't mean you couldn't state your opinion.
    Of course I'm not sure why I'm bothering responding to an AC.
