  1. Touche on Red Hat Proposes Alternative Settlement To MSFT · · Score: 2

    And when Microsoft viciously declines, it will give more fuel to their anti-competetive practices.

  2. Re:State Taxes. on Internet Tax Ban Extended · · Score: 1

    Ohio is one of them. I'm pretty sure I'm the only person in the state that does though... It's 5.5% and it applies to internet and catelogs too.

  3. Modernhumorist "Interview' with Ari on Anti-Civil Liberties Legislation Progresses · · Score: 1

    This is funny too. MH is a must read for fans of theonion.

  4. Windows 3.1 on File Extensions And Monopolies · · Score: 2, Informative

    In Windows 3.1 and presumeably 3.11(Workgroups), it was very easy to change the extentions. You could right click on ANY file and I think there was an option for "Open With..." and you could set it to always do that.

    Then with Windows 95, you started to have to struggle.

  5. Re:Why? on PlayStation Portable · · Score: 1

    Ooooh, cool. Let me know how that project turns out!

  6. Re:choice does not = censorship. on ClearChannel Plays It Safe · · Score: 1

    I don't remember who said it, but "The worst kind of censorship is self censorship."

  7. Re:mirror attempt... on More Mapping of the Net · · Score: 1
    Better yet, why not make a P2P client and have one perosn download the files first, then set it up so everyone can just download from everyone else...


    I'm sure this has been thought of and discussed before, and I'm pretty sure someone even has a real client for distributing web pages P2P, so I claim no responsability for the plan, but i still think it'd be better than having mirror after mirror taken down.

  8. Re:Better security on planes on More Links And Reports On Terrorist Attacks · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They probbaly wouldn't want to fight and risk their life, since they probably didn't think that they would be run into a building :(

  9. Re:Better security on planes on More Links And Reports On Terrorist Attacks · · Score: 1

    If a gun goes off on a plane, it's bad even if it misses any person. You wouldn't want a hole in the plane either.

    But it is a shame, like all of today's events.

  10. Re:Boycott Adobe Now! on Sklyarov Indicted · · Score: 1

    It's difficult to say if Adobe proper actually started it. Often these things are done with a third party company that looks for the things and incites. However, I don't preach that Adobe is any more innocent than Dimitri is.

  11. Re:Pay on Scientific Elites vs. Illiterates · · Score: 1

    Why? Because Bob Bettinghouse convincted taxpayers to pass the sales tax. I have no idea how.

  12. Pay on Scientific Elites vs. Illiterates · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "He does raise the issue that if we gave these teaching positions the pay-level and respect they deserve it would be much easier to attract Doctoral-level people to fill them."

    My city of Cincinnati is far too busy building stadiums.

  13. Re:Hmm.. on Illegal Prime Number Unzips to DeCSS · · Score: 1

    Maybe they'll show it on TV during Prime Time.

  14. No surprise on Mars Canals May Not Mean Water · · Score: 1

    I can't say I'm very surprised that other theories have surfaced. When I first heard of the canals, I was wondering how just the presense of canals automatically mean water. I'm glad that I wasn't just being skeptical when I shouldn't have been.

  15. Cube on New Singer Sewing Machine Uses ... Game Boy · · Score: 1

    Ah, but get the new "Cube" and you can sew in 3 dimentions! Kind of like those 3D Printers, but a much more... interesting interface.

  16. Re:You'd think on Microsoft Proposes Lengthy Appeal Period · · Score: 1

    http://websearch.about.com/internet/websearch/libr ary/weekly/aa081099.htm Don't call people stupid, stupid.

  17. Re:You'd think on Microsoft Proposes Lengthy Appeal Period · · Score: 1

    Also, if Bush gets elected (no more BUll SHit!), they might have a better chance of not being split up.

  18. Re:PGP over email isn't secure? on Peer-To-Peer Encrypted E-mail · · Score: 1

    3 letter protocol? Like... FBI?

  19. Slashdotted on Yopy Running Game Boy And Heretic · · Score: 1

    Appears to be slashdotted. I guess I'll have to catch it after another grueling day of school tommorow. >. The only handheld I have there is a paper agenda with one of those damn covers that make annoying sounds when you scratch them and have annoying little rhetorical questions in them like "Do others see you as a can-do person?"

  20. Re:Can't resist... on Diablo Meets The Sims · · Score: 1
    I didn't know you could get mod up "funny" with puns. This really makes my day. It's a cold day in hell when someone actually likes puns. I hope someone will Baal me out if people don't like this punishment.

  21. Ads on Visibility Of The ISS Grows · · Score: 1

    Hopefully, there won't be any Nike. Have they evolved from sweatshops to sweatships?

    However, I think that NASA could definitly make some extra cash by signing up for a pay per surf program. Get a few extra dollars for the program with all the tax cuts. If they all use it, they might be able to buy like a new engine or something.

  22. Copyleft shirts on DVD/DeCSS: MPAA Wins In New York · · Score: 1

    But what will become of the copyleft shirts!?
