  1. Re:Don't get me wrong, but what? on Marvel Gets Cash to do 10 Films · · Score: 0

    Captain America
    Didn't they do this one and it sucked?


    There was the horrible 1979 tv series movie, followed by the even worse 1991 movie. I still remember his Plexiglas shield that attached to his motorcycle.

    Nick Fury
    I guess because the Punisher movie worked so well...


    Even worse then Captain America, the Nick Fury TV movie staring David Hasselhoff in 1998

  2. Re:Higher End Jobs on Itanium Will Only Be Partly Supported by Longhorn · · Score: 0

    Thanks for the Flamebait rating but I was really just trying to be funny. It was a pun based on a processor job and other types of jobs. I'll try to be less funny next time.

  3. Re:Legal Wrangling on Fuddruckers Called Out on Hotlinking · · Score: 1

    Who defines what permission is implied? One could argure that it is vague and the implied permission doesn't exclude hotlinking which means that it would not be illegal. If using your magazine artical example, the flash game did still provide credit back to the orginal site/author. If Fudd-and-company had removed/changed/hidden those credits then I can see the illegality.

    Back to the dollar bill. Where is the line drawn, if I leave my car in the parking lot with the keys in it, am I giving somebody permission to take it? Proving intent and what is implied is what courts are for.

  4. Re:Telemarketing is just another job on Verizon Fights Back Against Mobile Phone Spam · · Score: 1

    The issues with auto-dialers is that it is illegal to use them to ring cell phones not normal ones

    Florida has had a state law regarding computerized autodialers that called random or sequenced numbers.

    Doesn't matter if it is cell phone or not.

  5. Higher End Jobs on Itanium Will Only Be Partly Supported by Longhorn · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I would like of list of said jobs. I would assume that they would include CEO of a Fortune 500 company or perhaps being the towel boy at the Playboy mansion. Or does higher end jobs refer to Steve Jobs?

  6. Re:Take the time to RTFA... on Fuddruckers Called Out on Hotlinking · · Score: 1

    So if you take an award winning photograph (say the firemen hangin the flag at ground zero) and I make a n oil painting of it, am I not infringing on your copywrited work? If I write a story about a guy who young wizzard who attends a school for wizzards and call it harry potter, will I not ge sued?

    A. So everybody who goes to any website is steeling the bandwidth and content? B. If I leave a dollar bill on the ground in the park and somebody finds and takes it, did they steel it?

    You have the right to remain silent... j/k

  9. Re:What am I missing? on Fuddruckers Called Out on Hotlinking · · Score: 1

    It is more like tresspassing then stealing. If somebody parks their car in my driveway, it isn't theft of my parking area.

  10. Steve Austin on Glitch Forces Mars Probe Shut-Off · · Score: 1

    Too bad the 6 million dollar man couldn't just switch the venus death probe into safe mode too.

  11. Re:Actually, on the new IIIx and V units, its safe on Overclock Your Palm · · Score: 1

    The Palm VII as currently shipping does not have a dragonball EZ, just a plain dragonball

  12. Not real TCP/IP? on Palm VII Field Trial · · Score: 1

    The real power comes from using PQAs. PQAs easy for anybody to create and limit the amount of data being transfered. My understanding is that any web page can be grabbed as well. It all does go through a proxy server. Maybe somebody could get us more details on this.
