  1. Re:Do they get a share of the sale of CD players? on Music Exec Fires Back At Apple CEO · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but that's fine by me. I'd much rather more low-budget indie films, than super huge budget blockbusters. That price system would supper the creation of more films like that.

  2. Re:Do they get a share of the sale of CD players? on Music Exec Fires Back At Apple CEO · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I think that movie thing is a brilliant idea. If they'd charge 3 bucks to see a million dollar movie and 15 - 20 to see a 200 million dollar movie, people would just go to see the cheap movies. More cheap movies would be made, usually by indie filmmakers and the big budget crap blockbusters would die out. That sounds great!

  3. Re:state sanctioned theft.. on Eminent Domain Applied to IP Due To State Secrets · · Score: 2, Funny

    So can someone tell me which criteria of fascism we haven't had happen yet.

  4. Wasted money. on Thoughts on the Space Elevator · · Score: 1

    I would prefer a space escalator. Just don't let the kids play on it.

  5. Re:In essence on Review: Darkwatch · · Score: 1

    doesn't it deserve a rating of 3/10?

    you get 5 points just for putting it to market I think.

  6. Re:Why P2P? on Grokster in Talks to Be Bought By Mashboxx · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ringtones sell for 3-5 bucks and sell pretty well.

    keep in mind, people have thousands of songs on their hard drives, but only a couple of ringtones on their phones. The usage is not consistent so therefore the price can't be.

    Record companies can't make money at a dollar a song.

    Ridiculous. Record companies have been making money - and lots of it - at a dollar or less a song when the songs were on CD and tape. And at least the consumer got a hard copy of a product. In the case of digital music, it costs the record companies even less since there are no shipping, packaging, or production costs after the music is recorded.

  7. Re:I'll tell you what's underhanded on Underhanded C Contest announces winners · · Score: 4, Funny

    Knowing who this file comes from, you'd be a fool to open it!

    but they would have known that only a great fool would open the archive given to him. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose to open the archive. But they must have known I was not a great fool, they would have counted on it, so I can clearly open the archive supplied by them.

  8. Re:Maybe t-mobile will learn. on Hilton Hacker Gets 11 Months · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Maybe T-mobile will get their act together now and fix all the problems.

    Why would they do that? The guy responsible was caught and is now going to jail... The system is now secure!

  9. Re:Is this an accurate statement? on Cinelerra 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    it might be the best open source A/V production environment, but Shake for Linux is a better compositor.

  10. Just what I'm looking for on Clever Artificial Hand Developed · · Score: 4, Funny

    and you can wrap your fingers around an object in what we call the power grip - like the one you use when you hold a hammer or a microphone.

    Well, that's the only criteria I'm looking for in an artificial hand... I do a lot of... you know... karaoke.

  11. Oh cmon!! on WoW Helping or Hurting the Industry? · · Score: 1

    Boo hoo! We can't make a game that's better than out competitors! Let's complain about it! This is absolutely ridiculous. It should be obvious to anyone - especially people making games - that going to a monthly pay model with masively multi-player games will decrease the amount of games purchased, since people only use 1 or 2 monthly services of the same type, be it phone, gas, electric, car insurance, and internet. Did they suddenly think people are going to subscribe to 30 different game services?

  12. Re:great on Valve's Gabe Newell Speaks on Console Development · · Score: 1

    But more importantly than us playing the game 15 years later, what about 4 million years in the future when aliens start digging up the remains of humanity and find a stack of pc games? Unfortunately, they'll only be able to play the Ultima Underworld game which would create a horribly outdated impression of the human race.

  13. Re:What a horrible mess... on Sonic 'Lasers' to be Deployed in Hurricane Region · · Score: 1

    How was the parent troll modded up as insightful?

  14. Re:What am I missing? on Fuddruckers Called Out on Hotlinking · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So the link to the originating website at the bottom of the pop-up window isn't "credit?" Yeah, it's stupid of a large restaurant chain to link to another site because the content may change, but I think he overreacted. On his little bandwidth graph, fuddruckers was far from being the worst bandwidth hog. He could have just sent them a letter and if it was anything other than a large restaurant chain, he probably would have.

  15. Re:As a parent on Parents 'ignore game age ratings' · · Score: 2, Funny

    Raise your kids, not mine, has always been my motto.

    But I like your kids better. Mine are bastards.

  16. Re:It's not Google's fault information is availabl on Google Blacklists CNet Reporters · · Score: 1

    if you read TFA, then you'd know that it's not about being able to find personal information off of google search, but the possibility of google logging and collecting all of the stuff you search for, the e-mail you send through gmail, the personal information you put in Orkut, and the places you try to find on google maps. That's a lot of information that's not present in a google search but very well might be on their servers for the government or a malicious inside person to take advantage of.

  17. Re:Hmmm on Spammers Lose Court Battle Against Univ. of Texas · · Score: 1

    well, I don't care what the message is about, I don't want any unsolicited mail. If someone has something to say about governmental injustice, let him/her do it like everyone else... stand on a street corner and yell about it while holding signs. Otherwise, I'm gonna junk the mail and probably care less about the governmental injustice that said person is preaching.

  18. Re:Disassembly on The 'DOS Ain't Done 'til Lotus Won't Run' Myth · · Score: 1

    If you really want to know if some ancient software prevetned another piece of software from working then disassemble it

    yeah, but we're not that curious.

  19. I'm not worried... on Nintendo Quarterly Profits Down 80% · · Score: 1

  20. Re:Who cares! on Disney, DreamWorks, Pixar Go Linux · · Score: 1

    You act as if a corporation is one person. The people in charge of production are just responsible for getting the film done... After that, it's the accounting department that starts suing... and those guys are on Windows boxes.

  21. Those fools. on Possession of Cantenna Now Illegal? · · Score: 1

    If you outlaw Pringles, then only criminals will have Pringles.

  24. Re:oh dear God, here we go... on Microsoft Sues Google For Hiring MS Exec · · Score: 1

    If he signed a no compete clause, then no he can't "go and think new thoughts for Google." Microsoft might be a "dirty bastard," but not because they want Lee to honor his contract. Non-compete clauses are pretty standard, so it's not one of Microsoft's evil inventions.

  25. Re:Also Stargate SG1 & Atlantis! on Battlestar Galactica Season 2 Premiere · · Score: 0

    My only question is, what's up with the Friday slots? Aren't those slots where shows usually die?

    Not for Sci-fi nerds! Those are the slots when we have nothing better to do!
