  1. They brought it upon themselves on Music Biz Predicts 6% Decline in '03 · · Score: 1

    They're too economic focused, hence there problem. It took Bruce Springstein 4 albums to get a hit. But now you don't get a 2nd chance, let alone a third. If they weren't so god damn money grubbing (Yes, I realize they're a corporation and are trying to make money) then they would realize that these one-hit, paper cut-out bands are only a quick fix but in the long run you'll have no lasting potential.
    This reminds me of what happened to, I believe, Louis XIII. France was going bannkrupt, so instead of annual fees for high positions, they had a person to make one large payment to keep that job in their legacy. And yes, in the short eye (his lifetime), they were pulled out of their lack of cash. But it came back later to haunt on screw over his predecessors.

  2. Heres a thought on Music Biz Predicts 6% Decline in '03 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Maybe if they stopped cramming out so many remix CDs (Reanimation, Limp Bizkit New Old Songs), stopped charging so friggin' much (20$ a disc), and actually made them worthwhile as opposed to one or two good tracks, they will actually have a productive year.

  3. In Soviet Russia on Scaling Server Performance · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    You power 550MHz UltraSparc-II CPU

  4. YAY! on MS Must Ship Java With Windows Within 120 Days · · Score: 1

    More free stuff with windows! Yay!

  5. It's like Vegas on Data Mining Used Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    But with better odds!

  6. UN server on Sun ONE Identity Server 6.0 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but then you'll start getting hippy, peace-promoting spam. But it beats opening your mail and finding a message that tells you to prepare for war with a Dell.

  7. no on Embedded Linux In Onkyo's Home Music Server · · Score: 0

    no it's not cool.

  8. Re:Interesting.. on Turing Test Competition At CalTech · · Score: 1

    writeln 'What?!? No Pascal? They''re biased!'

  9. Re:Snood is a definite classic. on Snood, the Simple Game · · Score: 1

    It is VERY MUCH a classic. I can remember I spent many many hours in algebra 3/trig playing... or sleeping. But that game is still one of the games I play the most, along with a good portion of the population at my school.

    As for your mother, but mine once stayed up until 6 AM so she could beat Bug's Bunnies Crazy Castle :P

  10. I was hurt by the ground... on Mozilla Project Hurt by Apple's Decision to use KH · · Score: 1

    Nope, article said it wrong, I was just lying down.

  11. Legal? on Has the RIAA Wormed 95% of P2P Networks? · · Score: 1

    Even if this is real (which we all know the answer to that), isn't it very illegal to make and release a hydra like this? So then wouldn't them making a big, bold announcement like this we signing their own warrant?
    But anyway, what could they do with a list of media a person has? It's like "OMG! This guy has Barney on his computer! Lets blackmail him".

  12. Rocket Fuel! on NASA Announces Enviromentally Friendly Jet Fuel · · Score: 1

    Whazzap Y'all! Bill McNeal rocking the mic again cold representin' rocket fuel malt liquor. It's got the mad flavor that takes any situation to the next level. So when the party starts bouncing and the ladies start bumping, tighten up yo' flow with Rocket Fuel. Rocket Fuel Malt Liquor! DAMN!

  13. Re:For the most part I'd agree on More On Kapor's Attempt To Best Outlook · · Score: 1

    Yeah, just look at the success of AOL. Relatively bad product, but so much is spent in advertising those uninformed take the bait.

  14. Re:Nerds get into it? on Violence's Niche In Cartoons · · Score: 1

    I can positively say that the age group watching pokemon haven't really developed into the "cool" and the "nerds" yet. So I don't know why this guy even said that once the cool kids like it, the nerds like because the pokemon age group doesn't have nerds or the cool kids. Also, FOX completely ruined Esca Flone because they the first episode due to it being to "slow". What I liked, was that on Saturday mornings Sci-Fi would show an anime movie, like A-ko, tank police, eye or mars, robot carnival, akira, and dozens of other great anime. But now it's gone. :(
