  1. Re:Ha ha. on Malware Found On Brand-New Windows Netbook · · Score: 1

    So I assume you posted this from an operating system that you wrote entirely yourself?

  2. Hey Microsoft on HTML 5 As a Viable Alternative To Flash? · · Score: 4, Funny

    We were just thinking that, if you were to hold off on implementation of HTML 5 in MSIE, we might, uh, contribute to your re-election campaign.

    Sincerely,

  3. Re:Translates as...? on Judge Reviewing Pirate Bay Trial Bias Is Removed · · Score: 1

    I don't think llamas can be members of any copyright extremist groups.

    True, their intelligence is too high.

  4. Re:Could this do it? on Amazon & TuneCore To Cut Out the RIAA Middleman · · Score: 3, Funny

    Of course they still have meaning. We need them to maintain the RIAA equalization standard.

    ...but insists that reproduction of any kind is prohibited without permission. So I won't quote from the article. I will just refer to it.

    You might want to refer him to the concept of "fair use".

    They forgot to clean out the fridge at the Michael Scott Paper Company.

  11. Re:Sophistry To Kill First Sale Doctrine on Why Bother With DRM? · · Score: 1

    Really, if we distill the arguments for copyright down far enough, it becomes clear that the idea is to perpetuate an obsolete business model.

  12. Re:obvious conflict of interest on Apple and Microsoft Release Critical Patches · · Score: 1

    Why is this flamebait? If GP had complained that he no longer got Win95 patches, he would have been laughed out of the room.

  13. Re:Software vulnerabilities on Apple and Microsoft Release Critical Patches · · Score: 1

    Another logical fallacy would be criticizing GP's post without looking at who the author of the post is.

    In other words, woosh!

  14. Snail Mail on Emailaholics Reveal Their Habits · · Score: 1

    Snail mail is much easier to track. All of my mail spam arrives in the middle of the day, so every evening, I just throw away what's in the mailbox.

  16. Re:Empirical Test on MPAA Says Teachers Should Camcord For Fair Use · · Score: 1

    I hope that the teacher's response would be something like this:

    By continuing this lawsuit, you agree to pay me triple the amount of damages that you receive in said lawsuit.

    You will find that the terms of the DVD preclude playing it for large groups..

    So what? Some text flashing by on a screen as you play the DVD is not a license.

    I guess going from a single tube to a series of them is an improvement...

    The last Republican presidents that didn't attempt to take all the power for themselves were Ford (but he doesn't count) and Eisenhower.

  22. Re:What about the standard way ? on Let Big Brother Hawk Anti-Virus Software · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's right. No matter how many warnings Windows 7 has, the end user will click right through the "This program is attempting to change Vcore and will destroy your computer" warnings. TC would work, but it's out of the question. The only real solution is ... none. As long as the end user has control of the computer, viruses and botnets are here to stay.

  24. Re:Mortality rates and the flu on New Study Finds Flu Virus "Paralyzes" Immune System · · Score: 1

    TFA doesn't say that a cytokine storm occurs, but it does say that the levels are elevated. My uneducated speculation is that this could be caused by a cytokine positive feedback loop occuring, but being stopped by H1N1s immune system attacking properties.

  25. Re:Mortality rates and the flu on New Study Finds Flu Virus "Paralyzes" Immune System · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Flu does hit them much harder, but the reason that the Spanish flu killed some many young, healthy people was because it launched a cytokine storm, something that was replicated in H5N1 (remember that?). So far, H1N1 does not seem to do this, although TFA suggests that it might.
