  1. Er, not quite on Court Grants RIAA Summary Judgment Motions vs. Limewire · · Score: 1

    Wood had an illegal immigrant doing housework (this was legal at the time) too, but she actually did all the proper paperwork and paid taxes. The media doesn't actually care much for fine distinctions though, and just ran with an "OMG HERE'S ANOTHER ONE!" headline screamer.

    A shame, as an ex-Bunny would've been vastly preferable to whatever gender Janet Reno belongs to.

  2. Jimbo is only motivated to act on Wales Supports Purging Porn From Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    via outside pressure. This is an effort to save face, not to actually clean anything up.

  3. Time to brush up on your browsing skills then on Wales Supports Purging Porn From Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    While this user's wiki-commons userpage;

    http://www.webcitation.org/5pWirbCuy

    was deleted only a few days ago, much if not all of the linked images still reside in the Commons.

  4. V'ger expects an answer. on Voyager 2 Speaking In Tongues · · Score: 5, Funny

    Don't piss it off, NASA.

  5. Sangamon's Principle on Can Oil-Eating Bacteria Help Clean Up the Gulf Oil Spill? · · Score: 1

    Forget it at your peril.

  6. Re:In Search Of... on Leonard Nimoy Retires From Star Trek · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Dude, that is so spot on. There was just something about how they stylized that show, the score and sound effects, and his voice that used to keep me both riveted and flippin petrified at the same time. Like the one about the Eater Island heads, he just made them feel so...I dunno, up-close and present that you could feel how old those things were and get a sense of the passage of time from then to now, how small we are in time compared to these behemoths that endure.

    I've watched some of those old episodes online since and it still gives goosebumps.

  7. I doubt the kid is the 2nd coming of Kevin Mitnick on 3rd Grader Accused of Hacking Schools' Computer System · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It is more plausible that the school's Blackboard was mis-managed/mis-configured to allow access to areas it was not supposed to.

  8. Re:Am I the only one... on Microsoft Mice Made in Chinese Youth Sweatshops? · · Score: 1

    Kissinger and Nixon can be thanked for that, as they worked to thaw relations to leverage against the Soviets.

  9. Re:Largest Nuclear Disaster? on What Chernobyl Looks Like In 2010 · · Score: 1

    So she took the pics from a car rather that a bike. The images themselves are still real.

    This TMZ-esque "GOTCHA" bullshit is where the hoax really lies.

  10. Re:Obama certainly deserves criticism here, but.. on The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 Passes Senate Panel · · Score: 1

    How about responding honestly?
    You voted for this guy, the "savior", for transparency, blah, blah, blah.
    And now he acts worse than Bush, who you called a chimp for 8 years, and you are OK with it?
    WTF dude?
    You cant call sh*t on your guy at all?

    What part of "Obama certainly deserves criticism" did you find confusing?

  11. pranks on Warner Brothers Hiring Undercover Anti-Pirates · · Score: 1

    We pulled quite a few of the tried and true college pranks back in the day...PB-smeared doorknobs, leaning a garbage can of water against an inward-swinging door, replace half of his shampoo bottle with Nair, etc...

  12. Interesting response on The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 Passes Senate Panel · · Score: 2, Funny

    Did you read it off your palm?

  13. Obama certainly deserves criticism here, but.. on The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 Passes Senate Panel · · Score: 1, Insightful

    How's that hope and change workin' out for ya?

    is parroting Caribou Barbie really the most effective way of doing it?

  14. Don't blame me on The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 Passes Senate Panel · · Score: 2, Funny

    I voted for Hillary.

  15. Wow, I sure do feel sorry for Google now on Google vs. China — Who's Got the Most To Lose? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I mean, without China, there's only 5.5 billion people left in the world to cater to. How can they possibly get by on such meager numbers?

  16. Re:JDate next, I hope. on Classmates.com Settles Lawsuit Over Phony Friends · · Score: 1

    They'll cry "antisemitism!" at the first person who tries.

  17. and goodbye to Gropecunt Lane on A Sad Day For the New Zealand Internet · · Score: 1

  18. You can take my salt away from me... on Bill To Ban All Salt In Restaurant Cooking · · Score: 1

    ...when you pry it out of my cold, dead hands!

  19. Well, congrats on suckering in a few +mods on EMI Cannot Unbundle Pink Floyd Songs · · Score: 1, Insightful

    as apparently people just blindly click on what they perceive is lulzy, but was really quite dim.

    We're talking about the sale of the songs and albums here; not the one-time listening on a radio station. Apples and oranges. Sure, some tracks like Money or Comfortably Numb lend themselves to single airplay, but when was the last time a station played "The Grand Vizier's Garden Party, Entertainment" ?

  20. tough titty says the kitty on IE 6 & 7 Unpatched Exploit Goes Wild · · Score: 1

    Time for some to upgrade, then.

  21. Re:No offense, but RTFA on Apple's iPhone Developer License Agreement Revealed · · Score: 3, Informative

    You are completely missing the point; NASA was compelled to surrender the information by the rule of law, it did not do so willingly. They cannot be held liable for the disclosure.

  22. No offense, but RTFA on Apple's iPhone Developer License Agreement Revealed · · Score: 1

    As a government entity, NASA's transactions are subject to FOIA requests, which is how the EFF obtained it.

  23. Re:Maybe its time ... on Apple's iPhone Developer License Agreement Revealed · · Score: 1

    I have noted the same thing as well. Apple has gazed too long into the abyss.

  24. Re:What about the 30% of people still using it? on Funeral Being Held Today For IE6 · · Score: 1
