  5. most annoying ad of the year goes to... on Why Do You Block Ads? · · Score: 1

    the talking ad on w3schools.com: a flash ad that when you mouse-over it (even if another non-browser window is on top) it will playback a Mac voice saying "PLEASE TYPE YOUR MESSAGE IN THE TEXT BOX AND LET ME SAY IT". Grrr.

  6. Re:Why TF did I go to school? on Blog Network to Sell For $20 Million Plus · · Score: 1

    "In fact there are three freely convertible currencies in the Galaxy, but none of them count. The Altairian Dollar has recently collapsed, the Flanian Pobble bead is only exchangeable for other Flanian Pobble Beads, and the Triganic Pu has its own very special problems. Its exchange rate of eight Ningis to one Pu is simple enough, but since a Ningi is a rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles along each side, no one has ever collected enough to own one Pu. Ningis are not negotiable currency, because the Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change. From this basic premise it is very simple to prove that the Galactibanks are also the product of a deranged imagination." - HHGG

  7. FUUUKOOOOV! on Star Wreck Released as Download · · Score: 1

    Awesome :-D

  8. Re:but.... on Neiman Marcus Offers First Moller Skycar For Sale · · Score: 1

    Thats cool and all, but a jet (even a personal jet) is still not the same as a flying car.

    Anti-grav researchers need to get off their duffs and get us some sweet hovercars! Cmon, just 10 years til 2015!

    Or in 20 years it will run for Governor of California.

  12. Re:Boycott Yahoo on Business At The Price Of Freedom · · Score: 1

    I think that's a good idea. Revolution is impossibly anymore in the quick, violent style - you'd get crushed. Education and information and putting China in the global spotlight are better ways. But don't think for a minute that the IOC (International Olympic Committee) won't immediately bend over backwards to accommodate an authoritarian regime - the IOC is just as quick to muffle independent reporting, etc. (though at least no one gets sentenced to death).

  13. Re:Bad Analogy - "under the hood" on Under the Hood of Office 12 · · Score: 1

    So, really, we're just looking at the hood. Dents, rock scratches, bird poop and all.

  15. Re:Left handed users? on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 1

    Cmon, its easy to learn to play left or right handed. I can play just as easily on a standard pad as I can on a left-handed one (e.g. TI-85 games) Its weird for about 10 minutes, then you get used to it. And no, I'm not especially ambidextrous in most other asymmetrical movements, far from it most of the time. I'm pretty sure most lefties have given in and learned to use standard pads by now. You've had 20 years.

  21. Re:People forget on Lessig - Public Domain Dead in 35 Years · · Score: 1

    " artists had an incentive to continue creating rather than relying upon a back-catalog of stuff they did in their 20s to keep them fed in their 50s and 60s."

    Or indeed, their children and grandchildren living off the creativity of their progenitors, contributing nothing themselves. Yes, the creators of the original material want to see their children do well, but they really aren't helping their kids become honest members of society by letting them become, ahem, spoiled little twits with a litigious tick.

  22. Re:Lessig? on Lessig - Public Domain Dead in 35 Years · · Score: 1

    "Obviously Lessig is jealous he didn't get to download that Public Domain remix of the song out of Blade with vampire blood dancing."

    Just FYI, the song is called 'Confusion' by New Order. Good for parties.
