  1. Re:OnStar on Analog Cellular Shutdown To Hit Built-In Devices · · Score: 1

    There's always another thing of doing things, this takes about 5 contingencies and wraps them into one device. I could see an argument from the big brother angle, but violently resisting an easier way of doing something? I'm sure they could figure out a way to bluetoothify it so you can use your own cell phone for hands free operation. You could also forward your calls, if you so desired, I'm sure.

  2. Re:Bullshit on NCAA Puts Severe Limits On Sport Event Blogging · · Score: 1

    The NCAA is full of shit to begin with, they make so much money off these kids it's obscene.

  3. Re:Wow, Amazon! on Amazon Patents Bad Service For Bad Customers · · Score: 1

    They've been doing something similar to this for a while, they kind of sit on your order if you get the el-cheapo shipping, which I'm willing to deal with. Sometimes the shipping can end up negating any savings you might realize from buying through amazon.

  4. No. on Do Tiny URL Services Weaken Net Architecture? · · Score: 1

    They're not used as much as you think, only for asininely long links.

  5. Re:Confusing The Issue on Does Hacking Grades Warrant 20 Years in Jail? · · Score: 1

    It's called charge stacking, they use it to scare you so you'll plead out to something less than the oh so scary max they could give you.

  6. They're just upset.... on New England Patriots Obtain Online Ticket Reseller Names · · Score: 1

    That they're not getting in on the extreme markup action themselves. I'm surprised they didn't get the addresses too and case the homes of the people on the list and film them, to use in a later ga...court case.

  7. Conjecture? on Wii 'Popularity Bubble' to Burst? · · Score: 1

    I didn't know conjecture constituted news. You could easily figure this out by asking Nintendo how many Wii's have gone online in the last week.

  8. Re:Reason #1 for net neutrality... on AT&T Silences Criticism in New Terms of Service · · Score: 1

    You have to watch out for quid pro quo in this situation. They've rolled over so much for the feds, they're owed a favour.

  9. Re:Does he have a "Wide Stance"? on Jack Thompson Includes Gay Porn With Court Filing · · Score: 2, Funny
  10. I told you so. on SCO Loses · · Score: 1

    I could do without the "I told you so" tone of this post.

  11. Re:What a Power Trip! on Is Videotaping the Police a Felony? · · Score: 1

    They used to watch over the people, now they're watching the people.

  12. Re:OMG! They got slashdot!!!! on Censorship is Changing the Face of the Internet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you think about it, the internet is the real time editable news source straight out of 1984.

  13. Re:Pcik a new ISP on Cryptome to be Terminated by Verio/NTT · · Score: 1

    What's to stop the g-men from sending another NSL to the new ISP?

  14. Re:No, that only applies in a democratic country on Cryptome to be Terminated by Verio/NTT · · Score: 1

    I see what you did there. You're so witty and absurd, please have my babies.

  15. I declare. on Paul Graham Claims "Microsoft is Dead" · · Score: 1

    I officially declare declaring something dead dead. Now Rob Enderle is out of a job. Have fun with your Ferrari laptop.

  16. Re:What's Microsoft got to do with it? on Vista Failing "Blackboard" College Courses · · Score: 1

    Upgrading for its own sake isn't a good idea, especially if you don't know if you'll be able to complete coursework. If Microsoft had not changed certain things, everyone would jump their shit, they change certain things, everyone jumps their shit. Make up your mind.

  17. Re:Biased Summary on Diebold Sues Massachusetts for "Wrongful Purchase" · · Score: 1

    particular brand of crack their counsel are smoking. Heh, Sweet William might sue Diamond Dave over where they get their bags from.

  18. Re:wtf? on Hummer Greener Than Prius? · · Score: 1

    That nickel plant has been cleaned up. By the way.

  19. Re:Natural Maturation? on How to Stop the Dilbertization of IT? · · Score: 1

    Yes, focus on the negatives. Here's an idea, it's a business, it's not in business to let you code an app that is fun, it's in business to make money.

  20. Re:Hmmmm. . . on MS Security Guy Wants Vista Bugs Rated Down · · Score: 1

    And I want a pony and a dodge viper.

  21. This could have been avoided. on Microsoft Charging Businesses $4K for DST Fix · · Score: 1

    If shrub didn't feel like playing god and changing our very system of keeping time.

  22. Re:It means on Define - /etc? · · Score: 1

    Extremely touchy chums

  23. Re:this was expected on Is Vista a Trap? · · Score: 1

    Linux isn't able to remotely disable your hardware just because they don't have a lucrative agreement with the manufacturer. I mean if the drivers are out of date. I'm not keen on the idea of an OS manufacturer deliberately selling crippleware and telling you it's a feature.

  24. Two ideas. on Best Buy Confirms 'Secret' Version of its Website · · Score: 1

    A) The employees are oblivious that their intranet site is out of date/misleading B) They're trained by soulless managers to squeeze every penny out of the consumer as they can Not sure which is worse.
