  1. Re:Stop Running Trade Deficits on IBM, Other Multinationals "Detaching" From the US · · Score: 1

    Are you saying that private property cannot exist without government? That's a bold claim.

  2. Supply and demand? on Experimental Video Game Evolves Its Own Content · · Score: 1

    But at some point, if everyone is a smithy, won't supply outstrip demand sending prices falling and making other professions more lucrative?

  3. All it takes is one pirate on BD+ Resealed Once Again · · Score: 1

    All it takes is one pirate with high-end equipment, and then it is on the net for everyone. Meanwhile, the regular users who want to play Blu-rays on their PC are fucked over.

  4. "Health care as good as the VA or Medicaid" on US House Democrats Unveil a Health Care Plan · · Score: 1

    Are you implying that either the VA or Medicaid is GOOD?

    Well don't that beat all.

  5. Re:Great quote... on US House Democrats Unveil a Health Care Plan · · Score: 1

    That's essentially a state-granted monopoly, though.

  6. Re:Jeez... on In Istanbul, Cameras To Recognize 15,000 Faces/sec. · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's nobody's business but the Turk's.

  7. Re:ToS that nobody reads on Bandwidth Fines Bad, But Not Net Neutrality Issue · · Score: 1

    Consumers or the government? Why not have the companies just pay to have their contract certified...?

  8. Re:Opportunity on eReader.com Limits E-book Sales To US Citizens · · Score: 1

    I've always been miffed that I couldn't get some video games from European Amazon... I wonder if there would be a market for a mail-forwarding service from the EU to the US and vice versa. I know I've seen such services for a few other countries before.

  9. Convenience sample on Valve Provides Details On Left 4 Dead Survival Pack DLC · · Score: 1

    Those stats are only for xfire, which I imagine most Left 4 Dead players are not using considering Steam already includes its own game overlay and social networking functions.

  10. Have I unlocked the Ubersaw yet? on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1

    These achievements are a pain...

  11. ffft.... Necrovision is already out on Early Look At the New Wolfenstein Game · · Score: 1

    Google Necrovision, its made by some obscure Ukraine company.

    You play as an American who went to World War One because he is a badass, and you spout cheesy one liners all over the place as you impale zombies on your bayonet.

    I already think it will be better than Wolfenstein.

  12. The speed of IE 8 let me get first post! on Look Out, Firefox 3 — IE8 Is Back On Top For Now · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yes, thanks to the new javascript a-

    Well, crap.

  13. Do all these "Tsars" piss anyone else off? on Obama To Name Melissa Hathaway Cybersecurity Chief · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I thought we didn't have titles of nobility or royalty in America. FYI "Tsar/Czar" comes from "Caesar".

    Or maybe it is appropriate these days...

  14. Why the hell isn't it on Steam...? on Fallout 3 DLC and Games For Windows Live Woes · · Score: 1

    Fallout 3 is on Steam, why isn't the DLC on it?

  15. AC3 on DivX 7 Adds Support For Blu-ray Rips (H.264/MKV) · · Score: 1

    Simple. Spec MP4 (the standard container) doesn't support AC3. You have to recode it to AAC 5.1 which is lossy and a pain in the ass.

    Plus the authoring tools for MKV are better. Not to mention the subtitle support if you are a fan of foreign films.

  16. So what if you get a letter? on WSJ Confirms RIAA Fired MediaSentry · · Score: 1

    You'll just get a letter from your ISP telling you to stop. Much better then a letter from a lawyer telling you to pay up.

    Besides, if you get caught you can always just start encrypting your traffic or such.

  17. Will they remove SecuROM from other Steam games? on EA Is Now Officially On Steam, Spore Loses SecuROM · · Score: 1

    If they remove it for Crysis Warhead I will buy it immediately.

  18. He was the chairman of the Federal Reserve though on Network Neutrality — Without Regulation · · Score: 1

    So he isn't REALLY a Free Market advocate.

    In before "no true scotsman"

  19. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? on Network Neutrality — Without Regulation · · Score: 1

    But who watches the watchmen?

  20. It's just a weather balloon. Stop asking questions on Titan Balloon Mission Being Drafted · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does NASA really think that the people of Titan will believe that the UFO flying over their methane fields was really just a weather balloon!?

    Get Dennis Kucinich on the job!

  21. US is just as Socialist as Europe these days... on EU Council Refuses To Release ACTA Documents · · Score: 1

    We nationalized the banks, it is just the redistribution of wealth is going *to the wealthy*.

    Really the only things we have left are freedom of speech and guns, and those are rapidly leaving us as well...

  22. It is easy to reduce piracy... on PCGA To "Take Up the Challenge of Piracy" · · Score: 1

    ...make buying the game easier then pirating it.

    Look at Steam for example. You can preload the game and have it the minute it releases instead of messing around with cracks, and if you ever want to play the game in the future you can redownload it with a click. With the new "Steam Cloud" feature you will even still have your savegames available.

    Or you can go with a 0 drm system but many companies are not willing to do that. Still, Steam is better then Securom with its limited activations.

  23. Re:dixville notch on Discuss the US Presidential Election · · Score: 1

    Hey, don't forget the 2 write-in votes for Mr. Paul :3

  24. Re:switfboat on Discuss the US Presidential Election · · Score: 1

    I always got the impression that people didn't like Obama's income tax rebates to those that didn't pay them, or his healthcare system.

    Those are fairly Socialist, but honestly McCain isn't much better...

  25. Re:FiveThirtyEight on Discuss the US Presidential Election · · Score: 1

    They may have different views on some policies, but they don't have different views on the policies important to me.
