    ...advocate the murder of people who hold views of copyright different from their own

    Hmmm... do you have a link? I've seen all sorts of violence advocated on /. against scumbag organizations trying to destroy people's lives using illegal and unethical tactics in the name of copyright enforcement, but never for just a different view.

    Spammers on the other hand must die horribly.

    ...I never got any

    Between Jack in the Box and Arby's, a poor grade may have saved your life.

  5. Re:Amazon! on The Pirates Will Always Win, Says UK ISP · · Score: 1

    Here is what I've gotten (albums for less than $3.99) in 6 months:

    Is this lossless encoding of 16-bit stereo 44.1KHz?
    If not, then I still prefer a FLAC torrent.

    For old time classics like these, a price of 0.49/track 1.99/album for lossless compression is about where the price needs to be to compete.

  6. Re:The only green move on Maingear Touts New Rig As "Planet's Greenest Gaming PC" · · Score: 1

    If you use your computer to design nuclear weapons or club baby seals, that might be worse.

  7. Eco what? on Maingear Touts New Rig As "Planet's Greenest Gaming PC" · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Slap together some mid range components, an ugly case and call it Prius... err Pulse.
    It's "eco-conscious" says the article/advertisement/press release.

    Too much power usage to be truly green. Too little performance to be a real gaming rig. Lame.

  9. More reason to support piracy! on Anti-Piracy Dog Uncovers Huge Cache of Discs · · Score: 3, Funny

    If everyone stops buying and producing pirated DVDs, the dogs will no longer be useful and MPA will kill them to save on dog food.

  10. Re:High-efficeiency incandescent bulbs on Laser Blast Makes Regular Light Bulbs Super-Efficient · · Score: 1

    That gives them 5 years to make a shipping product. If the efficiencies and production costs are as claimed, the law will be changed to a more sane efficiency based metric instead of dictating particular technologies.

    If 5 years pass and nothing comes of this, as is often the case with these kinds of announcements, then no loss.

  12. Eek! Wire wrapping! on Developer Creates DIY 8-Bit CPU · · Score: 3, Insightful

    All the board level products I designed in the early 90s had to be prototyped with wire wrapping. Even if you are careful, by the time you do hundreds of connections it is almost inevitable there is some flaw. You might miscount a row of pins and attach to the wrong pin. The process of layering multiple connection to a single pin might damage a wire at the bottom. Wires might break or make a shaky connection that comes or goes.

    I would not ever want to go back to that, but it did two useful things: The plodding physical process of "I'm now connecting this to that." forced a slow, comprehensive walk through of your design which can reveal design mistakes. The other is honing debugging skills of intermittent problems: "Is this a design flaw or a wire making poor contact?".

    Of course, the camera evidence would give the government a raging clue.

  21. The Real Question on On iPhone, Searching For Kama Sutra = Porn · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The real question is not why Apple is treating the Kama Sutra like porn, but why can't we get official, paid in full porn through the main application and content conduit for the iPhone?

    Come on Steve, there are adults out there using the iPhone. Give them what they want and be the pimp of your dreams.

  22. Re:Why it failed. on Sarah Connor Chronicles — Why It Died · · Score: 1, Troll

    Yawn for no-budget and no cool terminator robots.

    Obviously you are a simple minded populist who is incapable grasping the subtle brilliance of the show.
    Either that or the show sucked. I watched several episodes of the first season and tried hard to like it, but it wasn't interesting or entertaining. This story is just whining: "They cancelled my most favorite show, wah! Everone else on the planet must be an idiot because they did not like it, wah!"

    Bananas contain lots of potassium.

    According to this you need 4,700mg/day of potassium even without the effects of too much soda. At 422mg per banana, that's 11.14 bananas per day.
