  1. Ugh... on Relics of Science History For Sale At Christie's · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Am I the only one who finds it somewhat disgusting that rather then going into a museum these things are being sold to some private collector who will keep it locked up from the rest of the world?

  2. Re:Just what ethical duty is that? on Apple Cracks Down On iPhone Unlockers · · Score: 1

    This has nothing whatsoever to do with fair use. Yes it is. The ability to convert something you bought into another format of your choice that may not be available commercially is a fair use right.

    I repeat the other poster: stop inventing laws. No need to invent any law. It's called Title 17 of the US code.

    I like being able to see OVER traffic. Yes, I always love when someone stupid SUV driver pulls right into my line of sight whenever I'm trying to make a turn so that it's impossible to then see around them. Thanks asshole.
  6. Re:The best way to not get caught on Inside the RIAA and MediaSentry · · Score: 3, Insightful

    downloading is not allowed under the law. Where does any law say that? The law only forbids the distributing copyrighted works and the courts have confirmed that in a number of cases.
  7. Re:Just a bit of overkill on HP Introduces First-Ever 30-bit, 1 Billion Color Display · · Score: 1

    Did you miss the part where this monitor is mostly for professionals dealing with color sensitive work? This isn't a monitor made for Joe Blow using Microsoft Office.

    As always, mods are too stupid to see a joke.

    and their NIH format is not supported by other devices out there. How is AAC a NIH format of Apple? They didn't even have a hand in developing the format on which the ISO standard is based on.

    the fact remains that during the trial, there wasn't enough evidence to believe that he was guilty Sure, if you close your eyes and stick your fingers in your ears while shouting "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!" repeatedly.
  13. Re:I'll pass, thanks. on Sony Gives Educational Access To PS2/PSP SDKs · · Score: 1

    I know they're separate divisions of Sony and all, but it's hard to make that distinction from far away, Only if you're a zealot is it hard to make that distinction. SCEA has nothing at all to do with anything Sony BMI does. This would be like getting pissed at Toyota for something that Ford did, the two are just about as distinct.

    By mega crap I assume you mean twitch combat with a loot based component system. No, by mega crap I mean it was no fun and after a few months almost no one was doing it anymore.

    You have to realize that the summary was written by ScuttleMonkey. That means you are getting something written inaccurately by a moron.

    SWG had space combat hamfisted into it, yes. And because of this, it was mega crap. The only good space combat MMO you're going to find currently is EVE Online.

    Damn, now that makes me want to rush home and go find my copy of X-Wing. I miss dogfighting with a dozen tie fighters while being shot out by Star Destroyers. :(

    I'd prefer an update of just the original X-Wing game. I still remember the first time I blew up a Star Destroyer in that game. For all the times I died trying, it was just cool when I finally accomplished it.

    That's a completely different situation. The person was asking if the developers ever skipped over a number when doing a series of games which did not happen in Final Fantasy.
