  1. MusicMatch Radio on Comparing Online Music Offerings · · Score: 1

    I find the MusicMatch Radio MX service to be much more suited to my listening habits than buying individual songs. I've blown lots of money on CDs that I only listened to for a few months. For $60/year I can listen to unlimited music from thousand of artists. I've tweaked my artist's match ed stations so I can listen to them for hours without a bad song. And if I get a hankering for an artist I just do the artist direct option and listen to music only from that performer. Saves me disk space too. I know everyone's listening habits are different (for instance if you want to take your music with you then you're screwed), but for me it works great.

  2. Re:SCO Reply on SGI's Letter to the Linux Community · · Score: 1

    3) You post bbspot articles all the time (which I think is fine as long as they're semi-ontopic and not repetitive), and I've seen you post this exact one in at least one previous SCO article.

    First, as I said below I've never posted a link to this article before. Second, I've posted 9 links to BBspot this entire year. That's 1 link per month, that's hardly "all the time." Six of those where moderated positively. You can feel however you wish about this, but just wanted to get the facts straight.

  3. Re:SCO Reply on SGI's Letter to the Linux Community · · Score: 2, Informative

    I looked at my comments and I have never posted a link to this article before.

  4. SCO Reply on SGI's Letter to the Linux Community · · Score: 5, Funny

    SCO is quick with their reply to SGI.

  5. Re:auger? on Apple Issues New G5 Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    Yeah, sorry, we had to turn down the error generation it was getting a bit too much.

  6. Re:Source on SCO Execs Dumping Stock · · Score: 1

    I think /. is jealous because BBSpot doesnt post dupes...

    Fan-farking-tastic.

  7. Comcast on Experiences with Alternate Local Phone Companies? · · Score: 1

    I use Comcast Digital Telephone Service through the cable for local and long distance. Haven't had any issues with the service and I've even changed the set up a few times without any problems. Anything is better than Michigan Bell/Ameritech/SBC

  8. Re:Student Suspended Over Suspected Use of PHP on PHP Cookbook · · Score: 1

    As the author of the above story, I'd like to collect the karma on this copyright violation. Anonymous Coward please send me 3 karma points plus 3 more for pain and suffering.

  9. Color Timekeeper on Color Sidekick to be Released Tomorrow · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's all well and good but I'm waiting for this PDA to be released in color.

  10. Don't overpay for music on Microsoft Prepares Alternative To Apple iTunes · · Score: 2, Funny
  11. Bootleg Trailer on Return Of The King Footage From E3 · · Score: 3, Funny

    I didn't see any glimpse of the new character in there so it must not be the trailer I've seen.

  12. Big Xbox on Hacking the XBox · · Score: 3, Funny

    The heck with the Xbox PC, I'm getting me some Xbox Sized fries!

  13. Re:Principles? on Office 2003 and XML · · Score: 1

    Vendor A charges $3,000 to do a job and doesn't request documents in any different format.

    Vendor B charges $2,000 to do the same job, but politely requests that you send over a specific document type that you can do, but takes more effort.

    You would probably go with Vendor A because it's not your money anyway and it's easier for you, but that doesn't necessarily make it a good business decision.

  14. More Coverage on ATi Radeon 9800 Pro · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...of the Radeon 9500 ASC which enhances ASCII gaming for serious nethackers.

  15. The silence continues... on Spector, Garriott on Games · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sure they'll talk about MMORPGs but will they ever address the long term effects of potions of healing? I heard theycause liver damage.

  16. Hackers Need Insurance on [H|Cr]acker Insurance · · Score: 1

    Sure companies need insurance against hrackers but many hackers spend so much time on the websites they cracl that they should get insurance too.

  17. If George Lucas.... on Lord of the Rings, as Written By Everyone Else · · Score: 3, Funny

    wrote it here's what it would probably look like.

  18. Re:Am I the only one ... on Lord of the Rings: Two Towers Reviews Rolling In · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well written reviews don't just state whether the movie was good or not. They have insights, background on directors/actors. If you only look at a thumbs up or a thumbs down on a review then you probably are the type of person who thinks movie reviewers are useless.

  19. Geek scary movies on Howl-o-ween · · Score: 3, Informative

    Here's a list of the scariest geek movies.

  20. Re:Mirrors on Homing In On Laser Weapons · · Score: 5, Funny

    "We have a visual on the missile...er...wait...we're being attacked by a flaming disco ball!"

  21. Dangers on Yahoo Moving to PHP · · Score: 5, Funny

    I hope the developers at Yahoo! understand fully the dangers of using PHP.

  22. This Mac on Build Your Own PowerPC? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Don't buy just any mac, buy this one.

  23. Where are the real superheroes on Superhero Smackdown · · Score: 1

    Like these guys.?

  24. Re:Real Life In Action on The Moral Pathology of Vice City · · Score: 2

    Movies don't get nearly as much flack as video games, even though they're watched by a much broader audience.

    The same people do give a lot of flack to movies as well, but movies have much deeper pockets to rally against it. The video game manufacturers need to start lining some pockets then they won't hear this as much.

  25. Stereotypes on Generation Wrecked · · Score: 1

    I hate articles that push entire generations under the same umbrella. You'd think that every baby boomer was a dope smoking war protester in the 60s and 70s, but that's just not the case.

    The same with Gen X, we're all whiny slackers in debt up to our eyeballs. Blow me. I guess I work 3 jobs and have zero credit card or student loan debt. All of my friends are in the same good position too. Not everybody worked at dot-bombs. I wish the people that wrote articles like this would realize it.
