  1. Re:Doesn't mean much now. on DRM Technology To Be Added To MP3 Format · · Score: -1, Troll

    Amen brother!!!

    They know mp3 is, at this point, basically a pirate's format. No legitimate digital music source worth mentioning uses mp3 to encode. Furthermore, egg, whooops, odd, whoops again, ogg is only used by brain dead linux thieves to use amongst themselves, so it's basically a pirate format also. No one really believes ogg is a contender for anything in the real world.

  5. Re:I wonder on RMS on SCO, Distributions, DRM · · Score: 0

    Let's think for a minute how ridiculous this lunatic is, and also how insane these scenarios play out:

    1. An original song is composed and recorded by a musician. Some hippie (RMS) doesn't like the way it's structured, so he re-writes it and re-releases it for free, without compensation to the REAL composer of the music. Sound like copyright infringement to the point of theft? Yep it is, but remember he don't care about that.

    2. An author writes a novel, it is published and sold. Some hippie (RMS) thinks it could be better, so he blatently steals the writer's words and inserts his own as he sees fit, then reprints the books and releases it for free. Sound like copyright infringement to the point of theft? Yessir, but he don't give a rat's ass.

    Imagine rewriting the works of Steinbeck, Dickens, et al, because you don't LIKE them !! Picture rewriting Beethoven's 9th or Handel's Messiah because it sounds funny to you, all because you think everything should be free. You'd be the laughingstock of the world....wait..RMS IS a laughingstock.....

    Yessir...this type of behavior looks real good to the average person. They're seeing how the "open source community" attempts to coerce a company into doing their will. Oh yeah, that looks REAL nice. As the author said, it's blackmail. Everyone knows it, even the blinded linux zealots here, but who is going to stand up and publicly denounce these actions? No one, because of their blind hatred of Microsoft. Keep up the good work, these acts only drive the nails deeper into the linux coffin.

    Why does it appear that anthropologists only work in Africa? It certainly seems that way because every "revolutionary" find is African. Something sounds fishy here doesn't it? Why don't they go to the real birthplace of human civilization? Could it be that they may find something that disagrees with their carefully constructed theories? The bottom line is that the fertile crecent area of Mesopotamia is where everything got started, not Africa, so why not look there? Someone is hiding something in the name of science falsely so called.....

  9. Yet Another Shining Example on Explaining WLAN Chips' Poor Linux Support · · Score: 0, Troll

    Of the endless game the "open source commode (sorry, community)" will play until it's dead and buried - the catch up/me too game. Here we have the "community" with their mouths open trying to shout down the eeeevil hardware companies for not allowing them to look at their specs, when the other 90 or so percent of the world already has working drivers. Several months ago the G hardware was made available and put to use...and it took this long for the "community" to get wind that there are no drivers for their toy OS?

    Put the tissues away and get with the program - companies don't care about your complaints because they don't make a nickel supporting communistic operating systems. Wake up, linux will never win and will always play catch up...maybe in 2005 you'll be able to enjoy your 802.11g cards. Think that's a joke? Look at when Carmack released the source to Doom and Quake...long after ID made it's cash and long after those games were even relevent. That's how things go when you play with a toy OS.

    Yes it's true. He stated in that article something about locking an Xbox to only play legitimate official games is the next thing to locking a PC down to only run windows. He might have been better off not making an ass out of himself with that one. As anyone can tell you, the PS2 and Gamecube have mechanisms built in that do the exact same thing, it's standard practice in the console world. One more egghead ramming his foot right down his gullet due to being tech-political.

  11. Yet another myth torched on Still More on Global Warming · · Score: 0

    Here we go folks, yet one more piece of evidence added to a substantial stack proving the home of communism lies in the environmental movement. No serious scientist considers "global warming" a real scientific issue. They know it's purely political, pushed forward by the neo-communist/global community folks that wish for the fall of the USA. When these people claim more "greenhouse" gasses are produced by SUVs than what was belched from Mt. Pinatubo, you simply cannot take them seriously. That eruption was monitored and they know what was put into the atmosphere.

    Remember, no matter how hard we puny human beings try to destroy the earth, the Almighty Lord simply will not allow it. He said HE will do it with fire. Read Revalation for details.

    It's amazing how this "horribly biased" news organization is continually number 1 in cable news, FAR surpassing CNN and MSNBC. Seems as though Americans have had it with the stream of bullshit eminating from the major networks and the pile of steaming vomit from CNN. Argue until you can't breathe anymore but Nielsen ratings are pretty hard to fake. Fox is #1 for a reason.

What intelligence.

  16. Re:Afghanistan Exit Realized on Strike on Iraq · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Guess what Mr. Anti-American? The right to speak your mind in the GREATEST COUNTRY IN WORLD HISTORY also extends to me so here it comes. First of all, don't expect credibility by quoting a fucking moron comedian. Second, do not use the word "we". Just because you have US papers does not mean you're my fellow American. "We" does not include me or millions upon millions of others. Take your side with the 28% junior.

    Third, please try to use facts instead of blather and blah blah blah blah. Over 70% of Americans support the war, and that number was there BEFORE the President's speech. Just because slushfuck or the clinton news network didn't report it does not mean it didn't happen.

    Fourth, if you don't care where you live, get the fuck out of my country. You don't give a rats ass about American concerns or issues. You seem to have fallen for Hilary Clinton's plagerized book about villages raising children, hence "I live on many different levels, in a community, a town, a state, a geography and ecosystem, in cyberspace. The notion of belonging to a nation is but one of many, but hardly my overarching modifier". I'd be ashamed to speak like that in fear people would think I was the town fool. Obviously you have no concept of national pride, and also no concept of reality. Really, you live in cyberspace? Psst, The Matrix was a fictional film.

    Get your facts straight before you go foaming at the lips. Quote: "Does being the freest nation on earth require colonial domination over the rest of the planet?" Please, Mr Anti-American, enlighten us native born Americans on exactly when and where colonies were set up after military action. Come on...do tell. Time's up. You have no answer. Go ask Japan and Germany about our colonization of their countries. You'll get laughed off the planet. Hmmmm...I recall Japan got on their feet and almost buried the US economically back in the 80s, and Germany seems to be doing pretty good too.

    I wonder what you'll have to blather about when Hussein is a grease spot and Iraq turns into a free country. Your little, tired oil arguement is useless in the face of the facts. Folks who hate the USA like yourself have no use for the facts because they get in the way of the lunatic philosophy that drives people like yourself. In a way it's good normal folks can see exactly how uninformed, ignorant, and downright stupid these anti-Americans really are.

    As this is written, strikes are underway in Iraq and Afganistan by our brilliant military. Our outstanding intelligence tracked several top Iraqi brass gathered in one place which was shortly pounded by bunker buster bombs. Hussein supposedly was on live TV afterwards blowing hot air all over in horribly generic terms. Nothing at all specific said, with every news channel questioning whether it was really him and whether it was a live broadcast. It's only a matter of time sonny boy...

    I wish you would have an opportunity to tell a soldier over there now the bullshit in your post. I don't think you'd have the balls because all anti-Americans have none. You only have guts on the beloved internet, not in reality. This slashdot crowd is so far removed from reality in all forms that it's doubtful they can even function as human beings. Go try to talk to a real, live American soldier and see how far you get. Those people are the same people who gave their lives so that today YOU can gas up the room with your hot air. Don't you EVER fucking forget it either Mr. Anti-American.

    It's true...someone, somehow is really trying hard to make US students as dumb as stones. Case in point: the "method" of teaching basic math to grade schoolers in my area. It's called "touch points", it is nothing more than COUNTING points on 2 numbers to arrive at the answer. 2+2=? ; the number 2 has 2 points, so let's count 1,2,3,4 to get the right answer. Now how silly and stupid is that?? Can you imagine these chillren when they get to high school algebra class and they start counting points??

    I fail to see how difficult it is to be drilled on (hence memorizing) the basic addition/subtraction/mult/div tables. The proof of this type of "education" is already showing, if a cash register is broken no one can make change because they don't know how to add and subtract basic numbers. There needs to be less political discussion about SUVs, global warming, etc in school and way more emphasis on learning what is needed to survive in life. Sorry, but reading, writing and math are essentials.

    NASCAR definately goes all out with the high tech gadgets and such.

Relatives of mine (long time nascar fans) always ask if I've ever looked at all that stuff they offer during a race. I have to answer no due to the fact that 4 hours of gaudy cars going in circles isn't appealing to me at all.

    Peter Molyneux is going to get a bad rep if he doesn't soon get games out the door. Years of talk about Fable for the Xbox, B.C. and now The Movies without seeing any type of release date on the horizon (even for Fable) makes for bad press. Two magazines (EGM and Game Informer) in their March issues slammed Peter for never shipping any games before announcing 2 and 3 more. I believe he's overly ambitious...probably spends more time finding out "it won't work" than actual productive work. Case in point: Black and White. Yes, the AI was fantastic on the creature...ultimately the game was an extreme exercise in macro-management. And buggy too. Something was definately wrong there.

Honestly, why would anyone here even begin to think they would use such a powerful tool to find you? Must be a guilty conscience or paranoid delusions of the DMCA police taking your little MP3 collection. They could find you in a heartbeat if they wanted to, WITHOUT using Echelon. Here's a tip for ya - if the feds want you, they'll find you by tax records, credit records, driver's license/registration, etc etc. Now I know you eggheads watched the X-Files (and thought it was a reality show)...they found everyone they wanted without using anything like Echelon.

    Catching that crusty, hairy ape was fan-fucking-tastic - one more asshole responsible for the deaths of 3000 of my fellow Americans. If you have a problem with the methods used to capture these boils on the collective asshole of the human race, then I have a serious problem with you.
