    Stay tuned for more on this story as it becomes available.

  3. The only good Communist.... on China Launches New Search Engine · · Score: 1


    ...is a firewalled Communist!

    Wait. That's not how that goes.

  6. Open question for Justin Frankel.... on Former AOLers Bet on Private P2P App · · Score: 4, Insightful


    Justin...

    Just what is it about working for AOL that makes people want to design and distribute software that ' sticks it to the MAN '?

    Is it the bad coffee, doyathink?

  7. Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce the... on Interview with MPAA Chief Dan Glickman · · Score: 3, Funny


    ...the world's first fully functional Pig-Nerd!

  8. "We Believe"...No, I Know... on Interview with MPAA Chief Dan Glickman · · Score: 1, Funny



    "We know there are losses. We believe we're losing $3.5 billion yearly."

    Uhhh....Ahem.

    Mr. Glickman, I spend about $1200 a year going to the movies. I **KNOW** that two thirds of those movies were absolute crap and in NO WAY deserving of 90 YEARS worth of copyright protection.

    You just keep up this sue-happy asshat behaviour and you can count on a grass roots ground swell that'll have the congress winding that ol' copyright clock back to 17 years where it belongs!

    YOU are not in charge of things around here.

  9. Life is so wierd these days.... on Novell Swings Back at Ballmer · · Score: 5, Funny

  12. Re:Trouble voting in California. on Election Day Discussion · · Score: 1

    Dude...Why didn't you go ahead and vote twice?

    Then go to the media. Then you can become a pawn in a flurry of partisan lawsuits.

    Sounds like great fun to me!

    National (physical) Security will always trump Economic Security.

    Could be a great future hub for a massive range of "Stinkin Microsoft" killer mozilla apps too.

    Death to MS Explorer!

  15. Imagine... on Air Force Researching Antimatter Weapons · · Score: 1


    ...Anti-matter suicide bombers.

    ...I'll eat my ass-hat !


  18. Lyric Nitpick... on MPAA Sues DVD Chip Manufacturers · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Two common mistakes, largely due to MegaDeath's mistaken hearing and re-recording of this tune, "Anarchy in the UK".

    "no dog's body" is really "No jobs buddy.", an obvious reference to an economic downturn.

    "other cunt-like tendencies" is really "other council tennancies", a form of publicly administrated housing in the UK, a common citizen to government abrasive touchpoint.

    Keep the change.

  19. Hmmmmm... on UPS - Your Computer Repair Depot? · · Score: 1



    Interesting twist on "Inventory in Motion". Good solution for the reverse logistics loop.

    I have to drive home up the 5 Freeway here in SoCal and I know that on some nights that section of the Freeway is so obscured by fireworks smoke that brake lights go on.

    Disney is Evil.
    Disney is a little less Evil.

  21. For God's sake.. on Will There Be A Winning Autonomous Robot in 2005? · · Score: 3, Funny


    ...I hope nobody names their AI unit "SkyNet".

    Now, where did I leave those keys to the bunker?

  22. I say, fight back! on Area 51 Hackers Map Buried Surveillance Network · · Score: 1



    If the Feds want to bury motion sensors on public land, well then we oughtta be well within the law when we bury randomly active motion *creators* nearby!

    Too bad the Feds can't seem to apply this level of creativity and resources to the problem of keeping over 5 MILLION illegal aliens (of the terrestrial sort) from sneaking across our southern border every year!

    This story really has me pissed off.

  23. Well, I'd... on What Would You Do With a 92 TBps Router? · · Score: 2, Funny


    ...connect up a bunch of those Beowulf Clusters you /.ers are always on about!

  24. My Turn... on Justice Department Censors ACLU Web Site · · Score: 2, Funny


    The second paragraph read: "The provision under challenge allows an FBI agent to write a letter demanding the disclosure of the name, screen names, addresses, e-mail header information, and other sensitive information held by 'electronic communication service providers.' "


    Oooooo... Secret information! Your turn!

  25. Re:Magical wonder on Microsoft Assembles Patent Arsenal for Longhorn · · Score: 2, Insightful



    Well...If this were true and MS REALLY DID WANT IP law reform, where are the keynote speeches from Bill G. and Stevie B. crying out to congress for reform?

    Where is the multi-million dollar ad campaign to educate John Q. Sixpack about the looming IP Economy gridlock and failure?

    Where are those pictures of Bill G. sharing this epiphany with the President in the White House rose garden?

    What a bunch of disingenuous tripe.

    Conviction without action is cowardice.
