  1. Re:DMCA Violations on OptimumOnline Bans uploads to P2P networks · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Okay, it does make a difference on cable modems, but not on 56K or DSL.

    For DSL, I'm paying for a constant speed anyway, and they damn well better let me use it.

    For 56K, nobody cares.

  2. Re:Old news? on Sharp 3D Monitor Next Year · · Score: 2

    That'd be cool. I have a basic understanding of the geocube, but i'd like to see a 4-D representation rather than an animated GIF.

  3. Re:Alternative browsers. on Next-Gen Pop-up Ads · · Score: 2

    If you have a problem with popup ads at your bank's site, pull your money out.

  4. Re:Duh! on Free Speech And WebLogs · · Score: 2

    Most public libraries keep track of who's using what computer when.

  5. Re:What is this fascination with .com domains? on Slashback: Wireless, Radio, Ralsky · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't really know how it works out legally, but if Nissan Motors had the Nissan trademark before Uzi started using Nissan in his business name, then it might be possible for Nissan Motors to win.

  6. Re:Standards. on Cable, TV Makers Agree on Digital Standard · · Score: 2

    This probably isn't true, but it sounds like your an M$ employee.

  7. Re:A *somewhat* related question... on Killing Unwanted Text Messages from Yahoo! Alerts? · · Score: 2

    Well, from what I've seen, a site can exceed it's allocated bandwidth for each hour, but then it's refreshed each hour.

  8. Re: on Would a Boycott of the MPAA/RIAA Help Matters? · · Score: 2

    I feel bad now--I only donate one times the ticket price to the EFF.

  9. Re: on Would a Boycott of the MPAA/RIAA Help Matters? · · Score: 2

    They both are monopolies, but someone has to prove they're abusing their power, and they both own the government figures that decide whether to pursue that or not.

  10. Re: on Would a Boycott of the MPAA/RIAA Help Matters? · · Score: 2

    It's not stealing if you download it from a P2P network--the people sharing it are putting it up for anyone to borrow. Also, the people who originally produced the work do not own the copy that the people I'm downloading from bought--they sold it.

  11. Re:television also contributes to MPAA on Would a Boycott of the MPAA/RIAA Help Matters? · · Score: 2

    I have a Tivo, so I can say the ads don't have much of an effect on me, so the extra money the advertisers pay is wasted.

  12. Re: on Would a Boycott of the MPAA/RIAA Help Matters? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I would like to boycott the MPAA, but if I want to see a good movie they're the only game in town. I can't really see a movie in any way (except when on TV) without supporting them. The best I can do is to send a dollar to the EFF for every dollar I spend on movies.

    However, I do boycott the RIAA.

    Well, Mozilla 1.3a is out, but /. rejected my article--apparently this decentralization thing is news and Mozilla milestones aren't.

    Remember, Slashdot is just Rob's personal site that happens to enjoy a large audience. Then what's cmdrtaco.net for?

  18. Copy & Paste on Decentralization · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why just copy and paste the first paragraph when you could copy and paste the whole article?

  19. Re:Quit on Company Christmas Gifts / Bonuses? · · Score: 4, Funny

    But for anybody to collect, they'd have to take the doll apart. What they should do is make a bobblehead for each employee and give it out in mid-December, then in mid-January tell the employees they can turn in their bobbleheads for a generous bonus. Of course, this will only work once.

  21. Re:Tablet vs Wacom on Examining a Tablet PC · · Score: 2

    There's no way any handwriting recognition can allow me to scrawl faster than I can type. 100WPM is next to impossible with pen and paper.

    Yes, but then being caught with a gun is a crime, making it easier to convict someone of at least something.
