  1. Re:Review on Launching Gutenberg Radio - Public Domain Audiobooks · · Score: 3, Funny

    Just be glad it wasn't Steve Gutenberg reading it. A friend of mine got ear damage listening to Cuccoon without earmuffs.

  2. Re:Obligatory Monty Python Quote on Using Sound To Test Internet Connections · · Score: 1

    So someone accidentally pumps 'Walk this Way' into a telesurgery session and instead of a mole removal I come out with a sex change? No thx!

  3. Someone set us up the bomb! on Canadian Researchers Create Supernova In-lab · · Score: 1

    Dunno, think they could probably go dig Uranium out of the ground in Saskatchewan and modify it with our world class reactors =).

    And as for us having the bomb, we've had it for years. We call them the Canucks.

  4. Re:But... on Finally, A Solution To The DMCA · · Score: 1

    Evil! EEEEVIL! Blasphemer! BUUUUUUURN HIM! Hehe.

  5. Re:Digital Freedom Continuance Act. on Dmitry Protests Running · · Score: 1

    Here's one for you. How about a law that specifies jail time for corporate officers if they infringe upon constitutional rights to free speech?

  6. Re:The complete skinny on expiring domains on VeriSign Accuses Competitors Of 'Slamming' · · Score: 1

    Oh please. I've been waiting on NSI to release a domain that expired nearly 13 months ago. No end in sight.

  7. Re:It must be... on CD Copy "Protection" in California · · Score: 4

    Heh, isn't Kenny G himself enough incentive to not copy his CD, much less the copy protection on it? I mean, to really copy protect, they shoulc have a Kenny G track on EVERY CD.

  8. What would be cooler... on (Nearly) Zero-Force Keyboard · · Score: 1

    would be the ability to configure the interface on the fly, like the workstations in star trek. I wouldn't mind a gesture-based interface if it could be made contextual.

  9. Re:My experience with this situation on Telocity Wants Its Gateways Back · · Score: 1

    >I submitted this story to ./ over a week ago with no success, but it did get posted at K5.

    Well, there's your problem right there! You should have submitted it to /., not ./!

  10. Re:It's not X-box on PS2 Hard Drive Announced · · Score: 1

    Er, I thought it was Zaphod Beeblebrox...

  11. Apple I on Mac Nostalgia On Two Fronts · · Score: 2

    Mmmm, Beowulf Apple I cluster. =D 'Hey, what happened to Frank?' 'He got in the way of the stream when we were booting the cluster from paper tape...'

  12. Not me! on National Broadband Access · · Score: 1

    I think this is a good thing. I live in Canada. I find it hard to think of the government as 'the other'. Really, our government is the expression of our collective will. You only need to see what we did to the last NDP government in BC to understand that. I dont' see how this could be anythig but a good thing.

  13. Re:Cross-platform thanks to Apple... on GIMP And OS X · · Score: 1

    Yes, but the graphic and we designers are on Macs...

  14. Uh, look on Fox Moon Special Response · · Score: 1

    Why not just look at the original landing site with a pair of binocs? Oh, look, the American flag on the moon. Guess I was wrong about that whole 'fqake' thing... Unless the MOON is a fake! That's it! It's made of paper mache, anchored in New Jersey. That's why nobody wants to go there!

  15. Well... on Superconducting Cables To Carry Power In Detroit · · Score: 1

    I guess we don't have to worry about global warming any more...

  16. Obtaining releases for copywritten work on Ask About Open Source Online Info Resources · · Score: 1

    I read recently on a library archivists' site that it's estimated that 95% of all copyrights that were originally registered prior to 1950 have lapsed. My question, then, is two-fold.

    What investigations, if any, have you made into obtaining releases or verifying that newer works are available?

    Second, what steps do you think could be taken to preserve the legacy of out of print books, given that once they fail to become readily available to the general public, they in essence cease to exist and pass from our collective consciousness?
