  1. MP3.com Must Be Destroyed on MP3.com's Content to Be Destroyed · · Score: 1

    I heard they maybe just ate a baby
    That makes sense to me
    But I doubt it, I won't allow it
    Because I run the scene
    They always fake it, too bad they made it
    It's not a problem to me
    They're really smart but they ain't got no heart
    They make my asshole bleed!

    So very negative
    They only take and they never give
    I scream into the night
    MP3.com must be destroyed!

    They are nothing, I'm for real ...but I heard they had some cat killed
    I heard they run the media
    Tearing down what others build
    I deserve some respect for my class and my intellect
    Why can't they be my friends
    This RIAA torture will never end

    So very negative
    They only take and they never give
    I scream into the night
    MP3.com must be destroyed!

    Somebody stop them please!

    I NEVER want to see multiple mismatched, clashing toolkits on my screen at the same time.

    Good thing you don't use Windows then. Microsoft can't even keep their own applications consistent, let alone third-party apps.

  5. Re:When and how much? on Bombardier's Hot Wheel · · Score: 1

    Keep in mind that Bombardier is trying to sell off the recrational products division (most likely to be bought by the Bombardier family), so this thing may never see the light of day if the new parent company decides it's not a product they want to sell.

    Also, sup cioxx?

    It's a current model scanner d00d. Though the one I have is probably three years old now.

    (don't worry, I didn't pay for it)

  7. Re:Are we going to bitch about USB drivers again? on Red Hat's CEO Suggests Windows For Home Users · · Score: 1

    I've got a $15,000 scanner here that only works half-assed with SANE. So much for that theory.

    But in your defense it does work to a limited extent.

  8. Re:Uhh... on Linux Based Tablets Are Coming · · Score: 1

    And where are you going to store this USB keyboard?

    Why you clip it to your tablet obviously. And if you are real ambitious you could even make it so it swivels out for use.

  9. Re:I own a record store. on Aussie Music Industry Sues ISP Over Filesharing · · Score: 1

    I can't afford anything better for them right now.

    If you have no money, what makes you think everyone else does? I know that CDs would be the last thing I'd buy on a tight budget.

  10. Re:WAP fashionable? on Software Fashion · · Score: 1

    It had some potentially good uses. However the price for using it, and trying to use it for the wrong things are what killed it off.

    Of course they always want to use technology for the wrong things so that isn't suprising at all.

    I didn't realize that Windows was written in Brainfuck. Or is that PATH?

    It was Disney that commissioned getting Photoshop running in Linux under Crossover Office. So at least in the case of Disney, they are using Photoshop on Linux.

  13. Re:What's the big deal, anyway? on Linksys Still In Violation of the GPL? · · Score: 1

    and secondly, the thing is probably flashable by software, so you could theoretically add new features to the firmware by taking their source, modifying it, compiling it, and flashing it to the device.

    Which can in turn be used by Linksys again, and they wouldn't even have to do any work to get it.

    Really what do they have to lose from relasing the code? It's not like it's some big secret how to make a router.

  14. Re:Hmmmm.. on Kazaa Sues Record Labels · · Score: 1

    If my stuff was being illegally pirated by thieves, I figure it'd be okay for me to try to put a stop to it. You would too...right?

    Oh hey look, there's some guy stealing my car. I'll just kill him since it's fully within my rights to put a stop to the crime, am I right?

  15. Price of Solaris on Sun's Schwartz Speaks Out on Linux, SCO · · Score: 2, Funny

    Solaris is a better alternative, that is safer, more robust, higher quality and dramatically less expensive in purchase price.

    Does that mean Sun will pay you to use Solaris?

    Steal? I thought music was protected under copyright law.

  22. Re: posted from 28.8 dialup on Where Is The Broadband? · · Score: 1

    DSL is available around here because all the independent telephone companies in the surrounding area (5 or 6) joined together and formed an ISP. Being the telco as well it was pretty easy for them to offer DSL (they were origianlly only a dialup ISP). There are people that live ten minutes away and have Bell as their local carrier that cannot get DSL.

    Things around have always been, next to the major cities, fairly ahead of the times with regards to technology. The local high school in the nearby small town had a frame relay internet connection long before most schools had even dialup. And we got DSL not long after the cities did.
