  1. Re:CmdrTaco's Beautiful Mind Hunting on De Niro Seeks Science-Oriented Film Scripts · · Score: 2

    I always thought that they would sell more tickets if they called it "A Beautiful Brain".
    But then all of you would say that's a horrible name, and I would counter "that's why I'm not working in Holywood".

  2. Re:I'm only going to say this once, on Peer-to-Peer Cell Phones · · Score: 2

    It will be a while before they have to worry. At first we are all just going to get sick and tired of dropped downloads. Down loading porn 98% complete. Enter tunnel. signal lost - NOOOOO!

  3. Well on Comedy Central Cancels BattleBots · · Score: 2, Redundant

    The show wasn't really "funny". I mean, I never laughed. If anything wresting should be on comedy central. Now people pretending to hurt eachother while young rednecks actually believe that they are hurting eachother - That's comedy!

  4. Buy, Rip, Sell on Yet Another Look at CD Sales · · Score: 2

    How many people buy cd's rip them, then sell them? You never really hear about this senario. Is this really bad for the record industry? You are purchasing the cd, and adding to the used industry. It may take a little form the RIAA, but remind me why I should care about Rosen again? :-)

  5. Re:eh? on Toronto, The Naked City · · Score: 2

    Well the submitter name is "PunWork". So maybe he just constantly tries to find puns that work. I'll I have to say is don't quit your day job PunWork, whatever that is!

  6. That's lame on Toronto, The Naked City · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unencrypted networks are now referred as "naked" networks? They just called it that to get more people to read it.

    Maybe someone should make a new insecure Linux distro called "Naked Linux". It will be great for the desktop to compete with Windows whom has always been naked. (Maybe that's Red Hats secret Plan). In the mean time Windows is trying to get dressed. Stupid 2 legged pants!

  7. Re:Allow taping on Online Marketing for an Indie Band? · · Score: 2

    You left our another great band that does it. Ween!

  9. more fluctuations in public on Public vs. Private Sector? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Being at a .com on the public market during the boom, you received tons of nice little benfits. We had kegs every friday, tons to eat during the all hands meetings, more computer parts lying around for the taking. But now that everything went in the shitter, everything got cut back. No more friday kegs, no food at the all hands, no extra computer parts lying around. I'm sure the private sector changes too, but it can't be as much when you have to please investors.

  10. press 1 if... on The Return Of The Live Human Being · · Score: 2

    -you'd like to speak to a live person. "beep"

    -you have selected to speak with a live person, there are no representives to take your call at this time, please wait on the line or use are prompt to guide you through the system.

    -Domo Arigato Mr. Robot starts to play to sooth your anger.

  11. Fantastic! on Ogg Vorbis For Hardware Makers · · Score: 2

    Now I have more reason then ever to burn all of my mp3 to regular cd format then re-rip them into OGG-Vorbis. Lets see I have a little under 5 gigs of mp3's, so hmmm does anyone where I could buy a thousand cd spindle?

  12. Re:mmmmm... Pot on Many Hackers Too Fat For The FBI · · Score: 2

  14. Re:The word is treason on Want Freedom? · · Score: 2

    Its a case by case senario. I would agree that if documents were "discovered" and sold that would be treason.

    However, If I were in the media and decided to say. I don't support Bush going to war in Iraq because it will draw support for Iraq's current government amoung the people in Iraq, and because the majority of the world seems to favor an alternative option other than war "ie more sanctions" and such.

    Should I be labeled as a "Benedict Arnlold"? I don't think so. This is what I think the issue is. I don't think anyone is saying the Media should be above the law (or at least I hope not).

  15. Re:Forgive the trolling, but this has to be said on How to Test Your T1? · · Score: 4, Funny

    But what about those holes in the router?
    sales guy: yeah, those are speed holes.. oh and a I almost forgot here's you free bread sticks

  16. how long on JVC Announces Technology To Prevent Software Copying · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They plan to have special encryption keys hidden in software and which are pressed onto CD Roms and which can not be read with ordinary procedures.

    So how long will it take to come up with "unordinary prodedures". :-)

  17. Re:Why NASA? on Slashback: Brainwaves, MPnothin', Telescopy · · Score: 4, Funny
