  1. tax? on UK Consumers To Pay For Online Piracy · · Score: 1, Redundant

    So if I pay this "tax," then that means that I'm free to download to my heart's content, right?

    What's next, a Microsoft-Google merger (Googlesoft)?

    Google and Amazon would be a better fit.

    I don't steal software, ever,....

    I don't "steal" software either. I just d/l it from the Pirate Bay.

  5. Trojan.JS.Agent.js on Trojan Found At Torrent Sites Insists "Downloading Is Wrong" · · Score: 1

    Kaspersky detected this yesterday:

  7. Unfortunately on Guitar Hero World Tour Equipment Problems, Subscription Possibilities? · · Score: 4, Funny

    the drum tuning application provided by Activision, which requires a 20 character code to install, only came with 19 characters.

    Activision did, however, suggest a work-around. "To do this, simply enter your existing code, and then for the last character, try the letters A-Z, and then the numbers 0-9. You should eventually get the right combination, and be able to install the applicatin."

  9. Re:unAutotrophs on Flower Robots For Your Home · · Score: 1

    Reading fails you.

    Just like real plants, the robot emits oxygen, moisture, and aroma.

  10. And what if on IBM Granted "Paper-or-Plastic?" Patent · · Score: 1

    I don't have a customer card? Do I get neither?

  11. Mortgages and Dresses? on Judge Rules Sprint Early Termination Fees Illegal · · Score: 1

    See what you did? This was about cellphone contracts and early termination fees. Instead, you have people talking about dresses and mortgages.

  12. Re:when haven't we promoted drugs? on Media Dustup Pits Bloggers and Wired Against NYTimes · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Yup, I agree. Turn on the t.v. and you'll see drug commercials, turn on the radio and you'll hear drug commercials, flip open a magazine and you'll see drug ads. Shit, there are drug ads everywhere. When are the NY Times going to start blaming them for 'promoting drug use'?

    It's like what Chris Rock said about the government and drugs.....

    "The government, they don't want you to use your drugs. They want you to use their drugs. So every night on t.v. you see a weird ass drug commercial trying to get you hooked on some legal shit. And they just keep naming symptoms til they get one that you fuckin' got."
  13. Re:The "Last HOPE", not the last "HOPE" on Last "Hackers On Planet Earth" Conference In July · · Score: 1

    Sorry. I'm not seeing "The Final Hope" anywhere. But I am seeing "The Last HOPE" on the 2600 news page *and* on "The Last HOPE's" official site.

    There's even a picture of a tombstone on their official site that reads "Hope: 1994 - 2008."

  14. Not surprised on The SUV Is Dethroned · · Score: 5, Informative

    I'm not surprised. For the month of May '08, the Honda Civic dethroned the Ford F-150 as the best selling U.S. vehicle. The F-150 was the best selling vehicle in the U.S. for the past 17 years.

    Ford saw it's SUV and truck sales drop a whopping 44% last month. That's huge.

    Apple makes computers?

  16. Re:You can't win for losing. on 66% Apple Market Share For Sales of High-End PCs · · Score: 1

    The fact is that people are paying twice as much for Macs and the only difference is software and marginally better hardware. You're forgetting image.

    Apple's cool, hip, trendy, etc. now. And everyone wants to be cool, right?

    At least that's what that kids around here say about Apple's products....
  17. Re:Those with money to burn... on 66% Apple Market Share For Sales of High-End PCs · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    "Despite all the hate, Apple is making a ton of money. I'd love to have a slice of that Apple pie."

    I guess AMD buying ATi didn't help things either (?).

  20. Re:I'm confused... on Important Court Decisions Chip Away At ISP Liability Shield · · Score: 1
    So, from the wording, it sounds like she is suing because of the possibility of this happening, not the actual occurrence. Or am I just misreading the article?.....

    You mean you actually read the article?

    /. Rule #1: Never, ever, RTFA. That's like blasphemy.

  21. Re:I sure hope on Growth of the Underground Cybercrime Economy · · Score: 1
