  1. And the winner is ... on Are High-End CPUs Worth The Money? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Tivo gives the best bang for the buck in video/sound recording and playback.

  2. mp32ogg on Who'll Be Using Ogg Vorbis Instead Of MP3? · · Score: 1

    I started an mp32ogg last night. Gripped a couple CD's into oggs as well.

  3. 5. Fill a Ryder truck with ... on Dmitry Protests Running · · Score: 1

    Wendy McElroy has a good analysis of property rights at http://www.zetetics.com/mac/libdebates/ch6intpr.ht ml

  4. Russian Outrage on EFF Gets Meeting With Adobe · · Score: 2

    A search of http://www.government.gov.ru/ for sklyarov returns 0 results.

  5. Innapropriate? on "Big Brother" And The Web · · Score: 1

    I see two problems here: first, that kids have access to inappropriate material;
    Kids have no interest in garbage. It takes years of government indoctrination to persuade them to watch such crap.

  6. Re:Madness on "Big Brother" And The Web · · Score: 1

    > why do you think having a criminal's execution filmed will stop that criminal committing a crime?
    Because he is dead?
    > Would anyone in the universe risk sudden death for just being five minutes nearer to their destination?
    Have you ever driven I-17?

  7. More Media lies on "Big Brother" And The Web · · Score: 1

    ...and what about these.

  8. Re:So much for freedom .. on Fallout From Def Con: Ebook Hacker Arrested by FBI · · Score: 1

    The economy was fine before Napster was shut down. Trading and ripping MP3s created demand for bandwith and fast hardware.

  9. Registering value on Why Won't You Pay for Content? · · Score: 1

    An approach more likely to succeed would be a rating system.
    People want to make a difference.
    Much money could be made by setting up a contest where you could vote for your favorite mp3 for a dollar.
    How many times have you bought a disk that you only listened to once? Obviously, you didn't buy it to listen to. You wanted to support the artist.
    I signed up for a YahooWallet.
    Took 10 seconds.
    Worked immediately.
    Bought all kinds of stuff I have no use for. We are consumers at heart. We just don't want to be ripped off by paying for something we could get free. Something like PBS and NPR without the socialist overtones.

  10. JAMES on Get Spam From Your Friends · · Score: 1

    JAMES (The Java Apache Mail Enterprise Server) is a 100% pure Java server, designed to be a complete and portable enterprise mail engine solution based on currently available open protocols (SMTP, POP3, IMAP,HTTP).

  11. Re:MPAA to solve AIDS crisis? on Bob Young On Intellectual Property · · Score: 1

    Or maybe Aids is a hox.

  12. Fresh Ideas on Bob Young On Intellectual Property · · Score: 1

    Does it seem strange the the publishers who are constantly starved for good material can't see that new ideas come from people considering old ideas. The only way they will be able to keep up with demand is to free the old. Did everyone think he was crazy when the first farmer started plowing the best of his food into the ground?

  13. MPAA on Digital Convergence Bites the Dust · · Score: 1

    When the members of the MPAA have millions of disks sitting around in their warehouses they they too will start pursue other lines of business.

  14. Microsoft on Where Does Microsoft Want You to Go Today? · · Score: 2

    Are some people still using MIcrosoft?

  15. Re:AOL-Time-Warner-Sony-CocaCola-GM-Megacorp... on Sony and AOL vs Microsoft · · Score: 1

    AOL supports Mozilla. Sony supports Linux (on the TiVo). At least they understand the meaning of open source.

  16. Re:EXCELLENT on IBM's Dirty Ad Tactics Bother SF Officials · · Score: 1

    Only someone brought up on Microsoft products would think someone stupid for turning their computer off with the power button. The 3B2 knew to shutdown gracefully when you turned it off.

  17. Re:EXCELLENT on IBM's Dirty Ad Tactics Bother SF Officials · · Score: 1

    In college and too stupid to understand Linux. Must be a product of the US Socialist School System.

  18. Re:Bullshit, absolute bullshit on IBM's Dirty Ad Tactics Bother SF Officials · · Score: 1

    Pay attention. Their evil in the 80s was the same as the evil Microsoft commits today. Destroying open standards is evil even if it is Red Hat or Rome.

  19. Broadcast 2000 on When Your Hardware Isn't Obsolete Soon Enough · · Score: 1

    And why isn't there a save as vcd option.

  20. Chopping on Canadian TV Now V-Chip Ready · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that the networks will quit chopping out the best parts of movies.

  21. Or you could just get one of these... on NASA Tests Flying Scooter For Commercial Take-Off · · Score: 1
