  1. Re:Who is this guy, & why does he not want to on RIAA Threatens Harvard Law Prof With Sanctions · · Score: 1

    Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) essentially wrote this song, and contributed much to the rest of the album as well. FYI.

  2. Re:Get a pen on How to Convert Your HD-DVD Discs to Blu-Ray · · Score: 5, Funny

    Brilliant pebbles. http://machinadynamica.com/machina31.htm

    Also, codename turquoise. http://machinadynamica.com/machina34.htm

    Yeah... Get out your bitchslapping hand.

  3. Re:But who is going to control on Gravity Lamp Grabs Green Prize · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually, we'd be OK. Just make sure there is another country on the other side of the world doing the same thing - they'll balance each other out!

  4. Re:From the on DOE Shines $21M on Advanced Lighting Research · · Score: 1

    Pah! The Department of redundancy department? We're the Redundant department of redundancy!
    Solidarity, brother...

  5. Re:Happy Darwin Day on Will Wright's Spore To Release Sept. 7th · · Score: 4, Funny

    less creationism and more intelligent design. That all depends on those who play it...
  6. Re:Happy Darwin Day on Will Wright's Spore To Release Sept. 7th · · Score: 4, Funny

    Don't give up hope - there's always next year!

  7. 64 = Number of squares on a chess board. on Bobby Fischer Is Dead At 64 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Rather apt.

  8. League of Gentlemen reference... on Microsoft Doesn't Care About Destroying Linux · · Score: 1

    You're my wife now!

  9. Re:two questions on Dell Releases Flash-Based Laptops · · Score: 1

    Sandisk has a demo of laptop boot/shutdown times on youtube here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=SBhj56gIUuA

    It impressed me, sign me up when the 64gb ssds are ~$200.

  10. Re:no speakers on $90,000 103in HDTV · · Score: 1

    ... for which the batteries are non-user-replaceable, proprietary, and have a low replacement cost of $11k, with FREE overnight shipping!

    Hate to think what the warranty would go for.

  11. Re:What did you expect? on Pirate Bay Raid Investigation Finished · · Score: 1

    No, he can't be joking - it's the 2nd!

  12. Re:Recurring billing on Credit-Card Data Breaches Drive Security Solutions · · Score: 1

    I would say, because it seems like such a large part of your business, that you find a new gateway/processing company to deal with, that already has this functionality in place. They do exist :)

  13. Re:PCI Compliance: good practices, but a joke... on Credit-Card Data Breaches Drive Security Solutions · · Score: 1

    With specific Recurring Billing flags sent to the appropriate processor, perhaps with a reference to the original transaction as well. It can be done.

  14. Re:College Students are Vulnerable on RIAA Says Accused Students Are Settling · · Score: 1

    Just a small point, but clicking 'share this folder' doesn't take a lot of time. Listening to music is also something many people can do while doing worthwhile things like studying, working, etc.

    $4000 for 66 albums (12 tracks an album) comes to $60. I'd say that's probably reasonable, though, and agree with you there.

  15. Re:As these CRIMINALS should - guilty - pay the pi on RIAA Says Accused Students Are Settling · · Score: 1

    Well, you should be able to cross one off that list. Are current defendants in a criminal court, or is this a civil concern?

  16. Re:Seriously, so what? on Microsoft Vista, IE7 Banned By U.S. DOT · · Score: 1

    I take it you're not the sort of person who wants to get "right on top" of one of those now, huh? :)

    You see, upgrading a Microsoft OS is much like making love to beautiful woman...

  17. Re:Hello... Apple? on Apple May Be Re-Entering the Sub-Notebook Market · · Score: 1

    I agree.

    The only solution Apple provides in the desktop arena that doesn't have a display built-in that isn't the pro is... the mac mini. Which isn't (supposed to be) upgradeable, and is really just a bunch of laptop parts anyway.

    There really should be something in the middle. Something that's not Pro or Mini. How about just a Mac?

  18. Re:Apostrophe? on Windows Vista: the Missing Manual · · Score: 3, Informative

    They were most likely slashed out by some web app.

  19. Thompson's response letter to the judge... on Judge Clears Bully For Publishing · · Score: 5, Informative

    Pretty good reading, if you'd like to get a better sense at just how crazy JT really is:

  20. Re:stern = hack radio on Howard Stern Coming To the Net · · Score: 1

    Dude, you missed the underline. It's just not extreme enough without an underline... of course, you'd need to find a link for that here on /.

  21. Re:Negligence lies with the child's guardian on Suit Blames Videogames for Homicides · · Score: 1

    What is the point then?

    The surviving relatives wouldn't be trying to collect $600m from the parents either, if they were alive.

    Is your point that the surviving relatives think they can get a buttload of money from suing someone who isn't responsible?

    The poster's point was that it's not the target of the lawsuit who is the problem. It is the parents, or simply the child. What's wrong with personal responsibility of a minor anyway? :) When I was 14 I knew it was wrong to kill people. Oh, maybe that was become of my upbringing by my _parents_ ?

  22. Re:Performance? on Xbox 360 adds 1080p Support · · Score: 1

    Which it will. When the external attachment comes out.

  23. Re:Blog First, Then Scientific Journals. on Dark Matter Exists · · Score: 1

    Honestly. It's a shame Gordon Freeman was out of town at the time. Something about Vortigaunts I heard...
