  1. cool on Adding Background Noise To Your Phone Call · · Score: 1

    Perhaps this'll make me into a better liar.
    I thrive to improve such a talent :)

  2. Re:Free Software Costs Jobs Not Money on Young Programmer, Stop Advocating Free Software! · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Agreed, I've been saying it for years now. Why exactly would I work for free and give away my time to corporations who are here to make a profit? I'm expected to pay for everything, why shouldn't everyone else?

  3. Re:Conflicting Feelings on Jail Time for Misleading Domain Names · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They should've fined him for a million dollars instead of throwing him in jail, no doubt.

  4. Re:Conflicting Feelings on Jail Time for Misleading Domain Names · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Deserves what? 3 years in prison? I'm all for punishing him with a big fine but prison?
    After 3 years in jail, he'll actually become a criminal once he's out.

  5. Ben Laden to on Virus Writers - The Enemy Within · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I'm sure Ben Laden sees his work as art to.
    gtf up.

  6. Re:The US is pushing for this on Germany Begins Iris Scans at Frankfurt Airport · · Score: 1

    Yeah I know it's the US administration who's been pushing for this. In Canada we keep hearing about there constant whining concerning this issue. The Germans should've stood up for themselves and said no. But then again, what government will refuse to have more control over it's population? It's up to the citizens themselves to say no.

    I've been warning about this whole biometrics thing for a few years now and nobody believed me.

  7. Re:Um, How does Slashdot handle this? on TeacherReviews.com Forced Offline · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, Slashdot has got the money not to mention the huge publicity if anything like that was attempted and you can be sure that the huge members base will be helping out with money very quickly.

  8. Re:These kinds of sites are dangerous, IMHO. on TeacherReviews.com Forced Offline · · Score: 1

    You can delete those reviews by sending a friendly email to the administrator.
    So, you're smart enough to have noticed those same exact bogus comments on other teacher's profiles but you're assuming that the students are too dumb to notice that to.

  9. Re:How'd you like to reverse the roles? on TeacherReviews.com Forced Offline · · Score: 1

    Probably some idiot who doesn't like free speech will sue to. Can't do shit without getting sued nowadays.

  10. Re:What Did You Expect from the BBC ? on BBC Argues Games Don't Cause Violence · · Score: 1

    So do many news organisations in the UK, except for BBC of course. Are you saying that one public funded news organisation is bad? I'd agree if they all where but they're not.

  11. Re:Censorship? on Answers On LUGs, Life, and Linux in Iraq · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't think they had time yet to put any internet law. It's not as if that's the priority.

  12. Re:I guess I dont understand... on Part of Patriot Act Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    From Yahoo news "The judge's ruling said the law, as written, does not differentiate between impermissible advice on violence and encouraging the use of peaceful, nonviolent means to achieve goals."

  13. Re:Overall on Ask About the Iraqi LUG · · Score: 1

    Overall they're worst, I can tell you that much.

  14. Re:Is it just me... on Mars Rover Opportunity Lands Safely · · Score: 1

    hehe I was wondering the same thing. And why all at the same time period? Maybe they're in there looking for Saddam's WMD's :)

  15. Re:Popups on Pop-Up Ads Lead to Consumer Revolt, Ad-Blocking · · Score: 1

    but it brings the monay :)

  16. They'll sue MS on Pop-Up Ads Lead to Consumer Revolt, Ad-Blocking · · Score: 2, Interesting

    yep, next thing you know, those companies who make huge use of pop ups and pop unders will sue MS for lost revenue :) Will it even surprise you?

  17. Vivisimo can't keep up with the traffic on Better Search Results Than Google? · · Score: 1

    I get the message "Problem occurred while using Vivisimo::

    Currently under heavy load. Please try again shortly"

    Sure it's cool and everything but I'm not gonna use something that only works half the time.

  18. So? on Windows 98 Phased Out · · Score: 1

    I don't see a problem here, who wants to stick with an old technology anyways? Does Microsoft have to support MS DOS 2.0 to? They'll be ruined if they offered a date-unlimited support for every old product that they once had.

  19. Re:These days things move so fast... on The Hidden Costs of Bargain Electronics · · Score: 1

    or you can just wait and wait and wait til the next price dropt :)

  20. I ain't buyin on MP3 Winners and Losers for 2003 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why would I buy it for? I don't think it's worth buying an expensive MP3 player in order to listen to crappy songs. One way or another, I refuse to encourage the RIAA.

  21. Good but $400? on Review of the Mirra Home Backup System · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's a little expensive for $400, not to mention that it's got only a 120GB HardDisk. How about those who have more data to backup?

  22. Sun killed Cobalt? on Sun Opens Cobalt Code · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Oh what a shock, as if we didn't know it was coming :)

  23. It's just a freaking game on Grand Theft Auto Ban To Be Decided By Courts · · Score: 1

    I don't see anyone suing Hollywood because of something that a mafioso says in a movie.

    Look out for some Nazi group who'll come begging for his part of the pie :)

  24. Re:What are they trying to communicate? on 75% of Network Connections Not From Browsers · · Score: 1

    quiet confusing if you ask me :)

  25. Re:BBC headline worthy of The Onion on UK National Archives Divulge Secrets · · Score: 1

    No need for Viagra as long as you have a futile job :)
