  1. Re:Pffffft! on The Wired Top Twenty Sci-Fi Movies · · Score: 1

    You're right...ever notice that ever since Blade
    Runner came out, every filmmaker has decided that
    in the "near future" it's dark and rains alot?

  2. Re:Not so simple (you forgot the BSA) on Migrating Your Office from Windows to Linux? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Not wanting to pick nits but I do have to tell you

  4. Re:This is just a heads up. . . on Copyright [CBDTPA] Bill Universally Rejected · · Score: 1

    I had a civics teacher in high school who told us that a politician has two goals, to get elected and to stay in office. They will do whatever it takes to accomplish those two goals. I've yet to see him proven wrong

  5. Re:suckage on Review: The Time Machine · · Score: 1

    Haven't you been paying attention? According to Eisner and the others, we'll just download it :)

  6. Re:Start with NASA on Lessig's "Creative Commons" @ The FAA · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Our way of life is pretty much shot to hell right now if YOU hadn't noticed. Spare me your concerns about someone getting ahold of some ancient NASA docs.
    Yep mods it's a flame...go for it.

  7. Re:Walmart employees on Wal-Mart, Moore's Law and Open Source · · Score: 1

    Trust me...If you worked there you wouldn't have anything to smile about. I did for about a year and as a result swore to never, never, never work retail again.

  8. Why Bother? on WinXP Keygen Foils Product Activation · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The corporate edition of XP has been floating around warez sites for months..no product activation whatsoever.

  9. Re:Own Label? on Musicians Get Together For Anti-RIAA Concerts · · Score: 1

    There's also www.goldeneggrecords.com owned by Deborah Gibson.

  10. Let's make things simple on Online e-Commerce Issues w/ PayPal? · · Score: 1

    When I auction things off on Ebay I make it very clear that I only accept personal checks or money orders (and I will not ship the merchandise until the check clears) Guess how many cash problems I've had?
    That's right..zilch.

  11. Re:W32/MagicLantern on McAfee Will Ignore FBI Spyware · · Score: 1

    "Who would have thought that underground virus scanners would be a reaction to a virus? This seems like it reverses the natural order of things."

    The body produces antibodys as a reaction to an invading virus...this seems pretty natural to me.

  12. Re:This isn't the 3rd page of the Washington Times on Andromeda To Become Less Complex? · · Score: 1

    About your sig....I think we've got both.

  13. Re:Everything GOOD about DS9??? on Andromeda To Become Less Complex? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's obvious you've watched so much of it when you can't even spell "BAJORAN" correctly.
    It's been my experience that people who can't deal with an episodic storyline either have no attention span whatsoever or lack intelligence.

  14. Re:windows driver support on Old NEC Printer on Win2k? · · Score: 1

    Not news to me...NT w/ a serial mouse is a recipe for a BSOD

  15. Re:HP was the greatest on Slashback: HETE, HP, Regression · · Score: 1

    I picked up an old 95lx Palmtop a couple of weeks ago at a thrift store ($4). So far it's been a great replacement PDA (My CE 2.0 PDA died a horrble death)
    This thing has roughly the power of a XT and with 512k on board memory (shared ram disk and system memory) and a 512k ram card it does everything I need from a PDA. Notes, phonebook, games, even room for an ebook. Runs FROTZ fine as well. If you can find on of them (or it's bigger brothers the 100lx and 200lx) grab it. Excellent design and will run for weeks on 2 AA batteries.

  16. Re:I wanna know on Ask Wil Wheaton Anything · · Score: 1

    How the hell was that a troll? Sigh..more crack-smoking moderators

  17. I wanna know on Ask Wil Wheaton Anything · · Score: 0, Troll

    Did you actually get to date Debbie Gibson? You lucky dog.

  18. Re:Yes, it can. on Can Cable Really Be Slower Than 56K? · · Score: 1

    Actually, if you have enough bandwidth even slower PC's are usable for surfing. I was quite happy with my old Thinkpad (486/75 with 24 MB of ram)

  19. Re:RTFA on B.C. Officially Proposes Video Game Regulations · · Score: 1

    I should mention that SOF also has parental controls to adjust the level of violence/gore. That is, if a parent even bothered to look at it.

  20. Re:XP encourages users to switch to Linux on Security Of Windows/Office XP Activation Code? · · Score: 1

    I agree...I use Windows (98 and 2000) but I dual boot with Linux. If MS makes this scheme of theirs as inconvient as it sounds, I WILL switch to Linux on a permanent basis. Playing the latest games is not a sufficiently compelling reason for putting up with this bullshit.

  21. Re:Okay, this is bad. on Clock Ticking For Australian PlayStation Chippers · · Score: 1

    I don't own a Playstation but I do own an old 3do and I have made several backup copies of my original disks (luckily the 3do has NO copy protection whatsoever) CD's do not last forever..go rent a few PS games at a video store and see how well they work.

  22. Re:Tough Shit on Ask Carl Kadie About Censorship and Privacy at Colleges · · Score: 1

    Hmmm..seems to me that I paid tuition when I was in college so the internet access WAS NOT FREE! Most colleges seem to forget that students are paying customers.

  23. Re:..*sigh*... on A Love Song For Napster · · Score: 1

    Yep..see this article about how the record companies "care" about their artists http://www.billboard.com/daily/2001/0202_04.asp?mn

  24. Re:what is wrong with the idea ? on Clever Girl Bess · · Score: 1

    If you had done any research you would see that filtering software: A. Blocks non-porn sites it shouldn't B. Doesn't block all porn sites C. Is a waste of time Get a clue.

  25. Sigh...pointless. Completly pointless on Whistler "Anti-Piracy" Tools Tie OS To Machine · · Score: 1

    The crackers will hack out the authentication (there have been beta copies of Whistler floating all over for months, you think they haven't looked at the code?) and yet again, the only person inconvienced by this will be the legitimate consumer.
