  1. I have dropped music. on How Do You Find New Non-RIAA Music? · · Score: 1

    They make me sick and I hate the entire industry. I don't download any music or buy it for that matter.

  2. Re:To heck with the game on New Ghostbusters Video Game in the Works · · Score: 1

    Well according to the extra material on Blues Brothers 2000, Aykroyd was in Ghostbusters 3. :)

  3. are they nuts on Fans Cheer as Apple's iPhone Finally Hits Europe · · Score: 1

    I would not mind paying for an iPhone(if it were available where I live), but paying 0,39 pr minute is stupid when I am used to pay less than 0,10 with any other phone. But perhaps the normal minute rates in Germany are that high?
    I don't remember seeing that high minute prices since GSM were introduced in the late 90s.

  4. Re:IP address tracking: means your ISP IP address on Germany Implements Sweeping Data Retention Policies · · Score: 1

    Just want to point out that a logging like that just started in Denmark this September. Source and destinaton IP, port. each 500th packet. email sender and reciever etc. It is required for each service provider to log this for at least 6 months I believe. Of course there are a lot of loopholes where they don't need to look lige small apartment nets etc.

  5. An all together different Schindler's list :) on Germany Seeks Expansion of Computer Spying · · Score: 1

    "What this case showed us is that they are using laptops, they are using computers, and it would have been very, very helpful to track them down with online searches," said Gerhard Schindler, director of the German Interior Ministry's counter-terrorism bureau.

  6. Re:not this again... on Vinyl To Signal the End for CDs? · · Score: 1

    And it seems that people have forgotten the days before the little button (Skip to next number). Having to clean the record, getting scratches on it. Cleaning the pickup.
    Second, today it is very few people who cares about audio quality. The listen to MP3 files on pc speakers for gods sake.
    I just spent 3500$ on a new amplifier and spending hours adjusting the sound, but who does that today.

  7. They fail. on Italy Wants to Restrict Blogs · · Score: 1

    It has been a long going joke that Italy would not be able to join the EU, if they had to sign up today.
    Silvio Berlusconi has done a good job of dragging them back in the hole.

  8. Re:Makes me wonder on Comcast Admits Delaying, Not Blocking, P2P Traffic · · Score: 1

    No they just (start) to throttle all encrypted communication. Didn't we hear about an ISP who did/does this?
    And/or they buy a device like the netenforcer http://www.allot.com/ which the manufacturer claims can throttle torrent traffic.

    So nothing new under the sun?

  12. And the monkey boy danced on Ballmer Suggests Linux Distros Will Soon Have to Pay Up · · Score: 1

    And so the monkey boy danced, the dance he knew so well.
    The dance he knew would please his master, and the onlookers would cheer.
    But in the back of the room where the lights were dim, stood some unhappy souls.
    They found no joy in seeing the monkey boy dance and their faces were filled with sadness.
    The monkey boy saw their shadows, and knew what he had to do.
    He danced harder and faster than ever before, and the crowd cheered for more.

    Out by the curtain his master was standing with a smile on his face.
    He found great joy in seeing the monkey boy dance, gathering ever more onlookers and angering
    the sad souls in the dark.

    (tbc)

  17. Re:Bluetooth mice and keyboards... on MacBooks Experiencing Bluetooth Problems · · Score: 1

    I don't know, my apartment is about 100 years old and has something that looks like chickenwire in the wall(some metal mesh). It seems that it was used to keep all the straws in places that holds the cement. Anyway it does a good job of blocking wifi.
    It is layered like this:
    [cement] [straws] [metal wire] [wood planks in a # pattern] [metal wire] [straws] [cement]

    These are walls that does not carry any weight, those that does, are at the very least 11 inches of bricks, the outer walls are almost double that. Although that might be a good thing in this case, since I guess that limits the range of my net to the outside world(if I covered the windows with something).

  24. Thanks for the warning on Halo 3 Review · · Score: 1

    I hope you were paying attention at the end of Halo 2, because the folks at Bungie don't waste any time getting new players up to speed.

    Thanks for the warning. :) I have not played the other games since the 360 is my first xbox.
    It seemed like Halo 3 was for people who had played the other two. I wasn't sure about buying it. Now I know that I shouldn't.
  25. Re:Limited downloads on Comcast Slightly Clarifies High Speed Extreme Use Policy · · Score: 5, Funny
