  1. Re:Old technology on OMG WIRELESS EXTENSION CORDS!!! LOL!!! · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If you look up Nikola Tesla you will see that it came out over 100 years ago.

  2. Re:Old technology on OMG WIRELESS EXTENSION CORDS!!! LOL!!! · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Nikola Tesla tested this out even longer ago. I believe he has prior art.

  3. KCRW on Internet Radio Failing to Find Support? · · Score: 1

    Seems to be working pretty well for KCRW, even Steve Jobs seems to love them.

  4. Re:Dorkus Maximus on Have Geeks Gone Mainstream? · · Score: 1

    You are correct. Dorks, Geeks, and Nerds are all subgenres of the Social Outcasts grouping.

    There are others, but these are not to be confused with each other. Each one has thier own mutually exclusive redeeming/nonredeeming qualities.

  5. Re:Where'd they find the blockbuster? on BitTorrent User Guilty Of Piracy · · Score: 1

    The only movies that are in that list that I felt were worth my time(and remember this is MY opinion) were Batman and Lords of Dogtown, both of which I REFUSED to download for anyone and told them to go give the theater your money and encourage them to make more of these. The others I do not even believe they are worth my time looking and downloading.

    Hollywood has no worries from me, most movies arent even worth downloading for free these days.

    Bad movies need to be downloaded(or quite possible not even at that) and good ones need to be seen in the theater, then maybe, JUST MAYBE Hollywood will understand that Sisterhood of the traveling pants shouldn't be made.

  6. Re:Congratulations China! on China Going Up and Coming Down · · Score: 1

    Just because they are in a different country, the old addage still applies.

    Remember, 1/2 of the population has an I.Q. UNDER 100

  7. Re:Do they get a share of the sale of CD players? on Music Exec Fires Back At Apple CEO · · Score: 1

    I dunno about you but i live near a bunch of refineries in so cal. and I see pumps going all the time, yet wonder why we pay more than everyone else in the US for gas.

  8. Re:zaaaaap on Statically Charged Man Ignites Office · · Score: 1

    If I remember correctly, it was "10,000 volts for every inch of spark."

    Now I could be wrong since I havent taken an electronics class in a long time. But I swear thats what the teacher said when we were playing with the Tesla Coil

  9. Re:First order of business: on Marvel Gets Cash to do 10 Films · · Score: 1

    Why, with Roger Corman at the helm, they could probably put out a movie for EVERY hero in the marvel universe. Plus a Sequel, Sure they would probably be pretty cheesy, but i bet all of that could at least pay for themselves based on just the marvel name, AND Rog might have some left over to play with for his next few Toxic Avenger movies

  10. Re:Finally..... on Mom, and Now Judge, Stand Up to RIAA · · Score: 1

    So who is the winner?

    WE are the ones ignoring thier frivilous threats, WE are laughing at their business models, WE are now the ones beggining to fight them. So does that mean that the **AA is going to win?

  11. Re:Movie Theaters are Obsolete on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 1

    Then why not just turn it off?

  12. Re:Is VoIP Reall That Big? on VoIP Provider Vonage Planning IPO? · · Score: 1

    "The more people who have them, the less calls get routed over the PSTN and the cheaper your phone bill gets."

    Except for the fact that a simple POTS line with long distance can cost upwards of $70 a month. Thats why I use VoIP. When I moved a year ago, I looked into it, and found out I could get Vonage and a cell phone for what SBC wanted for me to get a phone with the monthly long distance minutes still on top of that.

  13. Re:Movie Theaters are Obsolete on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 1

    I had to sit next to a guy translating starwars:ROTS to his family of about 10 in spanish.

    Annoyed the shit out of me, but they did have a right to see the movie when it came out, but would I have been right in complaining about it?

  14. Re:Movie Theaters are Obsolete on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You sir, are an ASS.

    Turn OFF your cell phone, I dont care if its on vibrate, I sat next to a guy that checked his phone 6 times during the last movie I went to, it didnt ring, but his screen sure as hell was bright enough to light up the immediate area and piss off about 15 people.

    If you dont answer it in the theater then why not TURN OFF YOUR GODDAMN CELL PHONE it has the same effect, it GOES TO VOICEMAIL either way.

    People these days are such inconsiderate fucks. I bet you also hold up 20 people behind you in your car, while you let out 1 person from a driveway so they can go slow and hold everyone up.

  15. Re:April 1st? on Google Talk Available Early · · Score: 1

    Remember, Gmail was announced on April 1st, and it took several months for everyone to believe it was a real service that Google was offering.

  16. Re:This flies in the face of reality on No DRM for Apple in Intel-based Macs · · Score: 1

    Tell Microsoft to make a PPC port of Windows.

    He can run linux just fine. There is not hardware vendor lockin, there is just a limit as to what will run on the hardware.

  17. Re:So What? on Forget about Wi-Fi VoIP, Vonage going WiMax · · Score: 1

    I'm using firefox, and I dont get a pop-anything with any of the sites mentioned in TFA

  18. Re:Different technologies, different purpose on E-mail Is For Old People · · Score: 1

    Phones have bells? mine has a peizo speaker so what does this bell sound like, I bet its like that old school alarm clock thing you see on movies.

  19. Re:Whaddya mean... on Microsoft To Begin Checking For Piracy · · Score: 1

    Lay off or you wont get any sherbert!

  20. Re:Please, put down your weapon on Power Armor For the Elderly · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry Dave, I cannot let you shoot Clarence Bottiger.

  21. Re:Multilingual? on Orkut Linked To Drug Ring Bust · · Score: 2, Funny

    I was kinda getting used to all the responses in Dutch, now I have to worry about Brazilian?
