  1. Re:They tried and tried, but on DARPA Builds Smarter Version of Microsoft's Clippy · · Score: 1

    Microsoft had already done that. Bob was much dumber, at least clippy was half-assed useful.

  2. "Helpers" on DARPA Builds Smarter Version of Microsoft's Clippy · · Score: 0

    I for one welcome our new "helping" overlords.

  3. Re:Dumb Idea on Therapists Log On To WoW To Counsel Addicts · · Score: 1
    If they did it in trade it might be closer to an actual trade than 60% of what I normally see.

    Of course they will get ignored and reported for spam.

  4. Re:I wonder what AP's replacement will look like? on Inside the AP's Plan To Security-Wrap Its News Content · · Score: 1

    See: Twitter

  5. Re:So what? on Windows 7 vs. Windows XP On a Netbook · · Score: 1

    Who in "the industry" think this, exactly?

    Those working at Microsoft?

  6. Re:There is a fourth platform on The Downsides to Digital Distribution · · Score: 1

    Every PC is a potential "homebrew / modchipped console". All it needs is a Monitor, VGA cable to an HDTV or a $40 adapter to an SDTV.

    FTFY

  7. Re:Outrageous in what way? on The Downsides to Digital Distribution · · Score: 1

    Any price is to high for a 70 year old movie. There shouldn't be a market on them like there is.

  8. Re:Ditch physical media... on The Downsides to Digital Distribution · · Score: 1

    Who can't get satellite Internet?

    Me, stupid trees on my house...

  9. Re:But with WalMart on The Downsides to Digital Distribution · · Score: 1

    To state that much shorter, "Wal-Mart is as much a monopoly as Microsoft is."

  10. Re:Well, if they're "most reliable"... on Verizon Asks Court To Affirm 'Most Reliable' Claim · · Score: 1

    Well, if Verizon is "most reliable"... ...then Fox News is "fair and balanced", and Wal*Mart has "Always the lowest price. Always", right?

    Someone call $FAIRNEWS and a flea market, everyone should get a piece of the bs marketing pie.

  11. Re:Why "piracy"? on The Pirate Bay Is Being Sued Again · · Score: 1

    Calling is "piracy" made me want to use it to obtain Pirates of the Caribbean. It sounded like it was the preferred method.

  12. Re:The US is seeking money within the EU? on The Pirate Bay Is Being Sued Again · · Score: 1

    We need a new constitutional convention. We need to propose amendments that will strictly define what D.C. can do or cannot do, and what powers are reserved to the States.

    That may sound like a good idea, but I wouldn't just anyone highly involved in United States politics currently to run said convention. The people would get screwed over hard and the Federal will have complete control, which is what the original Constitution was trying to explicitly disallow.

  13. Re:I suppose nobody's missed the obvious on Apple Says iPhone Jailbreaking Could Hurt Cell Towers · · Score: 2, Informative

    Hey now. Apple was cool once, when they had Wozniak.

  14. Re:Today's youth can learn a lesson from these guy on The Pirate Bay Is Being Sued Again · · Score: 1

    I sold ad space in my senior thesis in highschool.

  15. Re:You can't do that... on The Pirate Bay Is Being Sued Again · · Score: 1

    Its one thing to allow others to post links it another altogether to promote the posting of links to illegal material. If put up a bulletin board at a restaurant I own call "The Pot Smokers Bay" and people were putting up fliers on where to buy pot, I would be held responsible.

    Not if your restaurant was in a place where it is legal to buy pot.

  16. Re:Wine? on Sandia Studies Botnets In 1M OS Digital Petri Dish · · Score: 1

    I thought MS used the "any press is good press" thinking, or is that just limited to Apple, music, and movies.

  17. Re:This should be good on Apple Kills Google Voice Apps On the iPhone · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Fanboys never win.

    But being one and playing devil's advocate gets you insightful mods, that's nice I guess.

  18. Re:Lasers? Star Wars? on Finally, a True Green Laser · · Score: 1

    If they were real lasers I would just cover my ship in mirrors.

  19. Re:Not all series need reboots on Which Game Series Would You Reboot? · · Score: 1

    Link loses his good weapons every time too.

  20. Re:Oh come now... We know this can't be true. on Music Industry Thriving In an Era of File Sharing · · Score: 1

    but tbh.. I dont even like the radio today because its full of 1001 random idiot songs.

    Your radio plays 1001 different songs? The FM around here plays about 100 per station.

  21. Re:Did we not already know this? on Formerly Classified Global Warming Spy Photos Released · · Score: 1, Funny

    ...not know what a condom is?

    Does the average slashdot crowd?

    We know *of* them, maybe not in practice but from our knowledge of "sexual research medias".

  22. Re:Before the arguments start? on Fair Use Defense Dismissed In SONY V. Tenenbaum · · Score: 1

    Possibly, I never heard/saw the original quote but my US history teacher mentioned it and its been ~4 years since I had that class.

  23. Re:Before the arguments start? on Fair Use Defense Dismissed In SONY V. Tenenbaum · · Score: 0

    SOAP, BALLOT, JURY, AMMO!

    It appears we are on the 4th part, rebellion anyone?

    On a similar note, I thought I saw a quote from one of the leaders from the Independence of America that said something along the lines that a government should be *reset* every 200 years. If I didn't imagine it then we are long overdue.

  24. Re:It's become possible to record your life on Western Digital Announces 1TB Mobile HD · · Score: 1

    It raises some interesting possibilities and questions. A person could theoretically be assured of never forgetting anything. Of course, there is also the question of whether one would really want their entire life recorded.

    I like your idea, but I want an off switch. If I wanted to see a POV masturbation of myself I would just go do it.

  25. Re:Its a good thing too... on Western Digital Announces 1TB Mobile HD · · Score: 1
    Bits, I didn't know that bits alone made you a perv.

    I thought it was what the bits looked like when read in a certain way.
