  1. How would they ever collect? on Jammie Thomas To Appeal $1.9 Million RIAA Verdict · · Score: 1

    Ok heres a question for everyone. Say you make $30,000 a year. How are you expected to pay a judgment of nearly two million dollars? Thats more than you'd make in several lifetimes. Do they garnish a percentage of your wages or negotiate installment payments?

  2. Hardly on Standard Cellphone Chargers For Europeans · · Score: 1

    Apparently you've never seen a place called Ebay. You can get a wall and car charger together for under $10 including shipping.

  3. Let it go... on Has NASA Found the Lost Moon Tapes? · · Score: 1

    I tried watching some of the original episodes with the first doctor and found them unwatchable. Not sure when it finally got better, maybe the third doctor...

  4. Oh really? on Ray Bradbury Loves Libraries, Hates the Internet · · Score: 1, Troll

    You mean you would enjoy his works more if he was a staunch democrat? Whats wrong with respecting other peoples' opinions even if you don't agree with them? The world would be a much better place if people spent half as much time worrying about themselves instead of what others are doing.

  5. Al Capone on Download Taxes As a Weapon Against File-Sharing · · Score: 0, Troll

    agrees with this new tactic.

  6. Radio principle on Tesla's New York Laboratory Up For Sale · · Score: 1

    He was basing this experiment on how radio works. Does the radio station see any difference in power if 10 people listen? How about 100,000 people? The station outputs the same power no matter who is receiving.

  7. Torrent? on Windows 7 RC Rush Crashes MSDN, TechNet Pages · · Score: 5, Funny

    Torrent links anyone?

  8. Oh bullshit on Tesla Roadster Runs For 241 Miles In E-Rally · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Until we see cold fusion reactors there is not going to be a realistic electric car. When you look at the amount of energy stored in a gallon of gasoline compared to a ton of batteries you'll see why. Don't you think if there was money to be made in this market someone would have tried when gas was over 4 bucks a gallon? We simply don't have the technology now or any time in the near future. Short of some unknown breakthrough we'll still be driving fossil fuel powered vehicles 20 years from now.

  9. Re:CFL watt exaggeration on CFLs Causing Utility Woes · · Score: 1

    I always wanted to get a calibrated light meter and see if the "60 watt" CFL really does equal 60 watts of incandescent. I dislike CFLs because they either look sickly yellow, LED white (like a flashlight) or that harsh mix of yellow/purple.

  10. Submit some good names on Thai Gov't Sets Up Site For Snitching On Royals' Critics · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Either spam it full of garbage or some important people close to the king.

  11. No you don't on Phoenix Police Seize PCs of a Blogger Critical of the Department · · Score: 1

    How do you turn it on? How do you charge the batteries? The best way of storing info like this is encrypt everything and send it to a gmail account. Call it birthday photos or something...

  12. Does it matter? on We're Just Not That Into You, iPhone Apps · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You got your app and the author got paid. What is the problem here again?

  13. What? on Canon Tries To Shut Down "Fake" Canon Blog · · Score: 1

    Who is fake canon, or chuck for that matter and why should I give a shit? If DSLR wasn't mentioned I wouldn't have a clue this is something to do with photography.

  14. And easily hacked on Post-Beta Windows 7 Build Leaked With New IE8 · · Score: 1

    Want to bet how quickly someone releases patched files to unlock this 3 app limit?

  15. Blame the NRA on Presidential Inauguration Hardware and Other Challenges · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Its because of the NRA. As of lately they have been circulating propaganda saying Obama WILL make handguns illegal. Ask anyone who is a member or reads Guns 'N Ammo. I am all for private ownership of firearms and the second amendment but the NRA is overreacting here.

  16. The firmware is on bittorrent on Seagate Hard Drive Fiasco Grows · · Score: 5, Informative

    Save yourself the time and effort, the required firmware updates are on bittorrent http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4627627/Seagate_1.5TB_ST31500341AS_Firmware_Update

  17. only because on DC Power Poised To Bring Savings To Datacenters · · Score: 4, Informative

    Switching power supplies have gotten much more efficient in the past few years. Now it makes sense for a standard DC bus to run everything. The telecoms have been doing this for ages.

  18. Nothing really on The Power of the R Programming Language · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Labview is well designed for its intent. So someone with minimal programming skills can sit down and get something done in a short amount of time. Would I use it for crunching numbers or collecting terabytes of data, probably not. But its sure damn handy if you want to interface test equipment and get results. Its all about the best tool for the job.

  19. won't help on UK Police To Step Up Hacking of Home PCs · · Score: 2, Informative

    OpenBSD won't help a hardware keylogger. Of course its easily spotted but how often do you check the back of your pc?

  20. TWC is in the right on Time Warner Recommends Internet For Some Shows · · Score: 1

    Viacom wanted to jack up rates for next year and TWC basically told them "NO". Good for them. If Viacom was offering more channels I could understand but to increase because they feel like it?

  21. CFLs still suck on Why LEDs Don't Beat CFLs Even Though They Should · · Score: 1, Informative

    They come in two color temps. "Cool White" is about the same as a white LED. Sterile and way too much blue/green. "Warm" is another name for sickly yellow and makes me think of those yellow incandescent bulbs used to keep moths away. Until they make a CFL that matches a normal incandescent I'm not switching.

  22. Take off eh on Canadians Miss Out On Doctor Who Season Finale · · Score: 1

    And hand me another Elisnore!

  23. Australia Says No on Australia Says No to Internet Censorship · · Score: 3, Funny

    But "Australian Government Says Yes" The government always knows whats best and do not question their motives.

  24. Roll your own on BD+ Successfully Resealed · · Score: 1

    Well please feel free to roll your own open source BD+ decryption software. I'm eagerly awaiting the alpha code release.

  25. Great on FTC Kills Scareware Scam That Duped Over 1M Users · · Score: 1

    Too bad they didn't do this 6 fucking months ago when idiots started opening fake UPS/USPS/FEDEX emails to print their .exe "invoice" inside a zip file.
