  1. Re:yes on Fallout From Def Con: Ebook Hacker Arrested by FBI · · Score: 2

    I may be incredibly lazy, but I'm still a consumer and potential customer.

  2. Re:Tell Adobe on Fallout From Def Con: Ebook Hacker Arrested by FBI · · Score: 2

    honestly, I'm too lazy/inarticulate to come up with a well formed letter. If someone wants to post a form letter though, I bet you'll get a lot more e-mails sent from people like myself.

    Maybe I'll go into his house, copy all the source code behind a company he's starting up, and spread it all over the net.

  7. ... on Casinos Hit the Data Jackpot · · Score: 3

    BIG DEAL

    SO WHAT

    jesus christ people. you sign up for one of those loyalty card things, and you don't expect this? plus, what's the big fucking deal? why should i give a fuck if they know i like onions on my burger (i don't). is the onion mafia going to come out and get me, and make me eat my onions?

    god damn, there are a lot of other things going on in the world more important than this, but i guess if some casino knows i like gin and tonic, that's pretty damn newsworthy.

    how is this flamebait? you cannot seriously claim that AMD has overtaken Intel in the average consumer's mind.

    yeah, and linux's mascot, that fat-ass dumb looking penguin, is so much better.

    Well, she probably won't be your girlfriend much longer.

  14. Re:Um.. on EU To Investigate DVD pricing · · Score: 3

    He's fucking right. You don't NEED DVD's, and there's no reason the MPAA should have to justify their pricing. It's their product -- if you don't think you are getting fair value for your dollars, DONT BUY IT. I don't agree with region-encoding, but thats another topic entirely. My point is they should be able to charge whatever price they want for their product.

    And for the record, I do not own a DVD player (aside from the one my computer came with, which I have never used), nor any DVDs. Somehow, I have still managed to struggle through daily live without DVDs.

  15. Um.. on EU To Investigate DVD pricing · · Score: 1

    I must be missing something, someone tell me why they can't charge whatever the fuck they want for their product.

  16. There's just no way it'll fly. on Elegant Email Encryption for Everyone? · · Score: 3

    There's no way people would bother unencrypting messages I send them, my friends would say:

    'wtf, just send it normally you paranoid freak'.

    The people on my hockey team would say:

    'what is this you are sending me?'

    my co-workers and bosses would wonder:

    'why is he encrypting all his e-mail? hmmm .. '

    There's just no way it will ever take off that much until there's a dramatic shift in culture and computer/privacy awareness, and it's not happening anytime soon.

  17. Re:This is totally offtopic.. on AMD 760MP Reviews Galore · · Score: 2

    I'm using the machine to power my arcade machine/emulator bit .. and ArcadeOS (and the emulators themselves) are really picky about sound cards, the one that seems to work best is an old ISA SB16. When I've tried it on a shared slot, I get crackles and hisses, etc, and I've tried all sorts of configurations to resolve the conflict, and nothing has worked.

  18. This is totally offtopic.. on AMD 760MP Reviews Galore · · Score: 1

    but I can't seem to find a motherboard with a non-shared ISA slot and support for a Socket 370 Pentium III 933mhz chip. It seems that boards with seperate/non-shared ISA slots are no longer made, and the ones I've found don't support later chip generations .. can anyone here point me in the right direction?

  19. Re:How original on Technology And The Fast Food Nation · · Score: 2
    No one is forced to read Jon Katz's columns, think about it, consider an alternate pov *gasp*, but he's somehow super oppressive and evil.

    No, he's just a hypocrite and a bigoted columnist who rambles on endlessly in a forum that frankly cares nothing for him.
