  1. I got one of these letters on Comcast Warns Infringing Customers Of Abuse · · Score: 1

    It didn't say anything about an apology. I told them the offending file was removed. Here are the counter procedures from Comcast's site:

    A valid written counter notification made under Section 512(g)(3) of the U.S. Copyright Act must include the following information:

    A physical or electronic signature of the customer or user.

    Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.

    A statement under penalty of perjury that the customer or user has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.

    The customer's or user's name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the customer or user consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the customer's or user's address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that the customer or user will accept service of process from the person who provided the notification of infringement or an agent of such person.

    I'm waiting to see how it turns out.

  2. They did this on a small scale in Club Dread on PacManhattan Relocates Classic Game To New York Streets · · Score: 1

    It was one of the more memorable moments from that movie.

  3. Bjarne already went on AT&T Labs' Brain Drain · · Score: 5, Interesting

    He's an endowed prof at my alma mater www.tamu.edu. Hope this improves the CS program there.

  4. so now what? on Comcast Targets Internet "Abusers" · · Score: 1

    I wait for Comcast's letter?

    Anyone in Colorado have this problem?

  5. Re:I 2nd the nomination: Gayniggers from Outer Spa on The Best and Worst Movies of 2003? · · Score: 1

    Due to lack of modifiers I can only assume you are nominating this for best picture?

  6. Re:The Matrix v. LOTR on The Best and Worst Movies of 2003? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but how long did tolkien have to work on LOTR? Was he pressured to write The Tow Towers and Return of the King so they could be rushed to the box office?

  7. It was my dream... on SimCandidate - Why Aren't There More Political Sims? · · Score: 1

    It was my dream back in the days of BBSes to make an online game called congress. It would have been awesome.

  8. not necessary on Waco, Tekken Re-Interpreted For Exhibit · · Score: 1

    This experience does not need to be revisited. I lived in Waco during the events and resurrecting David Koresh and making a martyr out of him is in very poor taste. What happened in Waco was that a local news reporter tipped off the Davidians about an ATF raid, and even though the ATF had lost the element of surprise they stupidly went forward. At the end of the siege I think the Davidians started the fire themselves. I still feel sorry for those brainwashed that stayed. I really feel sorry for the children who died in the fire.

  9. what about lefties? on Sign Your Name Online With A Mouse · · Score: 1

    I am a lefty that uses a right handed mouse. This would never work for me because I don't write with my mouse hand nor am I adept with a mouse with my writing hand.

  10. Re:Incoming!!!! on Mysterious Phantom Game Console Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Will there be a nudity patch for this one too?

  12. If it does pass...how to fix :) on "Super-DMCA" Bills In Tennessee and Arkansas · · Score: 1

    If it does pass, just swamp the gov't/riaa/mpaa with calls whenever you want to plug something in, turn on your computer/tv/etc. Then they might get the point about the stupidity of the law.

  13. What they should do on Microsoft: You Need Permission to Sell Our Software · · Score: 2, Insightful

    1. get a tax write off for the value of the software

    2. Dump the software, boxes, manuals, etc. on MS corporate hq.

  14. prepaid legal? on Patents for the Little People? · · Score: 1

    would prepaid legal do this?

  15. next year on April Fools Wrap Up · · Score: 1

    how about next year they don't post ANY AFD jokes and fool us that way?

  16. Re:An adventure installation program on Kernel Configuration As An Adventure · · Score: 1

    I suppose you could make it a game to learn *nix. Have objectives like learning basic (ls, rm, etc) commands and work your way up to harder commands before it will let you explore certain directories. If the player is able to master it all they become root!

  17. Re:What's so funny about Monty Python any more? on Return of The Holy Grail to the Silver Screen · · Score: 1

  21. Re:Don't look for an alternative! on Alternatives To The Floppy Disk? · · Score: 1
