  1. Re:Another reason not to gamble online on $33 Million In Poker Winnings Seized By US Govt · · Score: 1

    The shills get a salary and the casino gets their winnings.

    That's not entirely accurate. Shills get paid a salary, this is true. But they play with their own money, keeping the winnings and suffering the losses.

  2. De-caf on Why Do Computers Take So Long to Boot Up? · · Score: 1

    Is a good thing.

  3. An opportunity for profit on Controversy Erupts Over Craigslist Prank · · Score: 1

    This fool could learn a few valuable lessons by spending a day or three in the company of a strict Dom. He wouldn't be able to sit for a few days to post an apology but I'm sure it would be worth the wait. And think of the cash that could be generated by selling the videos from his "training sessions".

    If you're going to do it, do it like you mean it.

  4. Re:tax on U.S. Ecommerce To Be Broadly Taxed? · · Score: 1

    What kind of twisted logic says that giving people an incentive to stay poor is a good policy? Never forget that the government gets more of what it subsidizes. If politicians had any brains there wouldn't be any tax on personal income over $200,000.

    And yes I know, if politicians had brains by definition they wouldn't be politicians.

  5. Call it what it really is on Longhorn's Offical Name is Windows Vista · · Score: 1

    El Toro Poo Poo

  6. Here's a quick fix for the Amazon problem on Amazon Slaps Orbitz and Avis With Patent Lawsuit · · Score: 1, Troll

    Setup a zone in every DNS server in your control to resolve amazon.com to bn.com or your favorite online retailer.

    Until we can get the patent office reformed, we have to hit Amazon in the pocketbook. I believe this is a start.

  7. Everyday a new item about MS vaporware on Longhorn to Require Monitor-Based DRM · · Score: 1

    Stop it already. There are plenty of news worthy products you can buy today. How 'bout some articles covering what's available NOW.

  8. Why on Earth on Longhorn Drops 'My' Prefixes · · Score: 1

    are we talking about vaporware? How 'bout we come up with a solution to fix the idiotic patent system that recognizes ideas as property? A way to fix the ridiculous waste of money called TSA and Homeland Security? Anna Nicole Smith's bra size?

  9. Re: not quite true on BBC Reviews Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy · · Score: 1

    There's a kodak moment, a bunch of over-fed computer geeks shoe-horned into speedos acting like Sumo wrestlers and drunken ninja.

    Thought it was tough to get a date before this...

  10. Where are the stars? on Saturn's Moon Iapetus Has A 'Belt' · · Score: 1

    Seems to me that pictures of objects in space would have stars in the background, but no picture from NASA has stars anywhere.

    Other than the obvious conspiracy theories, is there an explanation?
