  1. Re:The what towers? on LotR Two Towers Trailer Online · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, his name was Entwhistle after all.

  2. Maybe they should get together with the orbz crew. on Mapping the Spam · · Score: 2
    A new public blackhole list. There's a thought.

    Orbz seems to be over here now.

  3. Wait a second. on Record Industry Wants Royalties for Used CD Sales · · Score: 2

    Isn't there an established precident? Reselling records has been going on for sometime. Kinda like the "recording shows on your VCR" argument with the TIVO?Oh.. wait.. nevermind. Now I get it.

  4. One thing that I'd like to hear about with this... on Apocalypse 5 Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...is if Cmdr Taco is going to upgrade slashcode to Perl 6 and what he thinks of all this re-write of Perl.

  5. Makes me glad that I already bought the videos. on George Lucas May Be Completely Evil · · Score: 1

    They can't change em once you own them.

  6. What is it with these bozos? on MPAA to Senate: Plug the Analog Hole! · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They just don't stop, they just don't listen, and they NEVER LEARN. I contact my congressman over this stuff every time, and I will continue to do so.

  7. I would go for the eyesight stuff. on Eight Technologies That Will Change the World · · Score: 1

    Infrared, UV, etc, etc.. a la Shadowrun.

  8. You're right, what they're looking for is... on E3: SimCity 4 Preview Goodness · · Score: 1

    ...Sim-Earth. I had loads of fun with that one. It's beyond simplistic, but it was loads of fun. Maybe they'll re-release/update that one.

  9. Or the simplest way. on The Lone Gunmen Aren't Dead? · · Score: 1

    Just tell everyone "This all happend before they died".

  10. PLEASE, MOD THIS ONE UP!!! on How Dangerous is Online Chat for Kids? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    If I had the points, I would.

  11. Hear, hear! on Spider-Man, Star Wars and the Power of Myth · · Score: 1

    Say what you want about Katz, I think he got this one right.

  12. For those of you who like this "gee-whiz" stuff... on The Next Generation · · Score: 2

    ...just remember that we were also promised flying cars."Where are the flying cars?" - Senifeld

  13. I remember reading... on Black Is The New Beige · · Score: 2

    ...in the article about the toolbox PC that the guy used some sort of vinyl color from an auto paint store. So the question become, why not change the color yourself? Case mods are case mods after all.

  14. 25 cents a track? on Music 20 Cents a Track in India · · Score: 2

    They could go for volume, but I'd rather pay 5 cents a track. And the option to "return" them if it's not what I want.

  15. Unix isn't dead, it just smells funny. on Unix Isn't Dead · · Score: 3, Funny

    Aww, c'mon. Laugh, it's funny.

  16. I think he's on to something. on Stallman on Software Patents · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What I like is at the end of the article, he implies that part (or most, or all) of the problem is that the US patent system is based on patenting a Physical Process, and here we have people patenting Idealized Processes. Copyrights are more apropriate for the Idealized Process, or at least it's a closer fit.I'm sure he's not the first to notice this, and he won't be the last, but it needs to be repeated over and over until we get it though the US Goverment's Thick Skull(tm).

  17. What really makes me angry... on Laurence 'Green Card' Canter Has No Regrets · · Score: 2

    ...is his smug attitude about the whole thing.

  18. If you check the web page... on I Wanna Watch Cartoons! · · Score: 3, Informative

    ...here you'll notice that there are no new Space Ghost scripts listed after 1999. I always thought that it was the best one, showing cluelessness at its finest.It's a shame too, but hey, maybe they ran out of ideas. You know how it is.

  19. It's not the reason, it's the method. on Kazaa Admits to Morpheus Shutdown · · Score: 2, Redundant

    Not paying bills is certainly a justified reason for shutting down a service. But I don't like the idea that they used a back-door to change user settings.

  20. Nothing new, move along. on Augmented Reality: Enhanced Perception · · Score: 1

    MIT has been doing this for years.

  21. Since the dot.bomb happend... on Fighting Spam on the Home Front · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ...I've noticed that spam has increased quite a bit. Like 10x or more.

  22. Just wondering, not a troll. on What's Next in CPU Land after Itanium? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    How is Intel doing this different from M$ trying to clamping down in the OS arena? Just curious.

  23. Re:Uh... on Raisethefist.com Update · · Score: 2

    Was he a minor at the time? He may have been banking on that. "Rub it in their faces, they can't touch me."

  24. As I recall.. on Surveillance in Washington DC And At Bookstores · · Score: 2

    ..there were some Brits that commented on survalence(sp) cameras in public places in the UK. They said that for the most part, they were useless in that they never really picked up any relevant video.

  25. But Will It Run On Linux? on Star Wars: Galaxies Preview · · Score: 1

    I'd try it if it did. I'd try Everquest if it did. yea, whatever.
