  1. Re:Listen to the War on Shortwave on Updates on War in Iraq · · Score: 1

    I don't think that Bush is trying to hide it at this time.

  2. Re:I've been saying this for some time now... on EA, Eidos Have No Plans for Xbox Live · · Score: 1

    If Sony and Nintendo are much more attractive to third party publishers; then why do both have so few multiplayer games compared to the Xbox?

    Xbox have the best plan for the consumer, 350K Xbox Live kits have been sold, that's more than the PS2 and GC kits.

  3. Re:Yeah, Microsoft really cares about the US on Microsoft Opens Source to China · · Score: 1

    Why should MS care? Don't you remember that they where sued by that same government?

  4. Re:Can't have it both ways on Open Source Code And War · · Score: 1

    he probably meant that you should pay if you're a corporate user. What's wrong with that?

  5. Stallman is against war on Open Source Code And War · · Score: 1

    If you follow Stallman closely, he's against war.
    www.stallman.org

    Creating stuff to help governments kill people isn't exactly a good hobby.

  6. Do whatever the hell you want on Advice You Would Give to Your 12 Year-Old Self? · · Score: 1

    Anything you want to do, just go ahead and do it. Don't worry about the others, there will always be some people who hate you no matter what.

  7. Re:have the agree this time on Science Editors Urge Nondisclosure Of Bioterror Info · · Score: 1

    Yep destruction is easy enough.
    But why exactly would terrorists look at books and stuff when they can buy there weapons from US, UK, France, Germany, China, Russia, Kazakstan, etc.?

  8. Re:Just what... on PATRIOT II Legislation Leaked · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It reminds me of some german Pastor who said something like

    "First they came for the Jews
    and I did not speak out
    because I was not a Jew.
    Then they came for the Communists
    and I did not speak out
    because I was not a Communist.
    Then they came for the trade unionists
    and I did not speak out
    because I was not a trade unionist.
    Then they came for me
    and there was no one left
    to speak out for me."

    Open your eyes. Look around. Watch the news.
    Jailing a 15 year old guy because his father is a member of Al-Qaeda is not what I would call fair.

  9. Re:I doubt it's about wrecking Opera... on Microsoft Sends Broken Stylesheets to Opera · · Score: 1

    I doubt it to. Besides, Mozilla is more of a threat. It's not like Opera is getting so popular.

  10. Let them do it on P2P File Sharing Could Cost You A Bundle · · Score: 1

    What are they gonna do? Put millions of p2p users in prison?

  11. Re:Why the apple bashing? on Apple To Charge for Some iApps · · Score: 2

    Don't forget that MS has also been planning such a move for a very long time now. Maybe some Linux distributions (RedHat, Mandrake, SuSE) are considering doing the same to, only time will tell.

  12. Re:sexual favours on The Joystick Is The Root of All Evil · · Score: 2

    Very mature response. Is it the games that made you so violent?

  13. Re:Libel? *ALL* hardcore gamers are thieves? on The Joystick Is The Root of All Evil · · Score: 2

    So, I guess I don't qualify as a hardcore gamer even though I spent thousands of dollars on gaming :)

  14. Re:Told ya on Techies Working for Peanuts · · Score: 2

    Bah if I was an employer I would consider it.

  15. Told ya on Techies Working for Peanuts · · Score: 2

    So those who have a family to raise will stay jobless because of some morons who are willing to work for free.

    Employers will look at the situation and say. Hey, what the heck? Many IT workers are willing to work for free, maybe we should decrease the salaries for IT people. Minimum wage would be good.

  16. They're gonna invade on First Human Clone Born? · · Score: 1, Troll

    The Canadians are gonna invade with there army of clones. Let's nuke'm

  17. Re:and in other news on Sendo Accuses MS of Stealing Smartphone IP · · Score: 1, Troll

    Just because everyone is suing them because they're jealous of there success doesn't mean that we have to stop buying there products. All this money going to lawyers is sure a waste though.

  18. Re:For those that don't understand on Microsoft Ordered to Carry Java · · Score: 2

    Fair enough, so I can force MS to bundle my text editor program with Windows.

  19. Re:News flash on Microsoft Ordered to Carry Java · · Score: 1

    So I guess, I can create a Java clone and force MS to distribute it for me. We live in a world of great opportunities nowadays

  20. Are they really that stupid? on Kazaa: Happy In the Global Legal Briarpatch · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If they shut it, something else will come along. It's not as if Kazaa is the only p2p program.

  21. Re:They work their employees like dogs... on EA As The Next Disney · · Score: 2

    They publish great games yet give no support, no patches, no nothing and let promising games die. It's despicable. I'm not buying any more EA games.

    The fact that your friends hate there jobs doesn't surprise me at all.

  22. They live again on LucasArts Embraces Game Mod Community · · Score: 0, Troll

    Now if Lucasarts can finally start making good games, that'll help to.

  23. Didn't India already know? on MS Proposes Disclosing Windows Source To India · · Score: 2

    I'm sure that India already knew about the availability of Windows source code. But the fact is that Linux is free while Windows cost money, so there choice was obvious.

  24. Re:How Poor Are these Guys? on Finnish Taxi Drivers Must Pay Music Royalties · · Score: 2

    It doesn't matter if they keep their radios off, they will still be charged $20 because obviously this is something that can't be enforced.

    So every taxi driver, music listener or not will have to pay the $20.

  25. Can I charge you? on Finnish Taxi Drivers Must Pay Music Royalties · · Score: 2

    Everytime I got out in public, shouldn't people be charged money for my presence? I believe they should. If the music industry can do something like that, why can't I?
