  2. Re:Oddly Enough.... on Why Human Rights Requires Free Software · · Score: 2

    The rest of the planet DON'T like you, we could care less who raped who's goat 5,000 years ago

    Why is it that goat sex must find its way into
    every /. discussion?

  3. Re:Oh Please... on AOL Threatens Peng, Demands Domain Handover · · Score: 2

    I was just wondering - if you sell used
    Toyotas (or parts), do you need to get permission
    from Toyota to name your dealership
    Bob's Toyotas of Smalltown?

  5. Re:Don't forget... on Camcorder Jamming Devices Announced · · Score: 1

    So if a product doesn't sell because it's
    so fucking stupid, it's still is not
    stupid?

  6. Re:I'll vouch for that on EBay Letting Fraud Slide? · · Score: 2
    My idea of a way to fix the system is that we should have the money and item go through ebay.


    If you followed their history, you'd know that
    that is EXPLICITLY not their business model.
    They don't want to be a clearinghouse - one for money is bad enough, but being a clearing
    house for merchandise? Imagine all the logistical
    issues that suddenly arise, not to mention
    having to hire people and get and maintain
    warehouses. And then, of course, there will
    be their own fuckups.

  7. Re:Privacy Manager on Fighting Telemarketers with Technology · · Score: 2

    There are laws against stalking, harassing
    phone calls, etc. They clearly establish a
    right to be left alone if one wishes.

  8. Re:Privacy Manager on Fighting Telemarketers with Technology · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The right to be let alone (as the
    foundation of all freedoms) was recognized
    by famous US Supreme Court Justice Louis
    Brandeis. Unfortunately, it was in his
    dissent... :)

  9. Re:Deep Fritz on Slashback: Dilemma, Privacy, Chess · · Score: 2

    This is, in fact, man vs. machine. If this
    is a chess player vs a programmer, then
    it's the same as an engineer who designed
    a crane vs world champion weightlifter. Come on.

  10. Re:Hypocritical? Americans? NO WAY!! on Russian Snared By The FBI Sentenced To 3 Years · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So it's ok to invade US, because we have
    weapons of mass destruction too, right?

  11. Re:Wow... on Napster: The Movie · · Score: 1

    How can you say "Wow" to anything on TV

  12. Re:A minor tangent on Life on Pluto? · · Score: 1

    I don't know what it means to
    program a roboto to exist in multiple
    dimensions. Will the program have to change
    the physics?

  13. Re:A minor tangent on Life on Pluto? · · Score: 1

    Well, the problem is that your point is largely
    irrelevant - we probably would not understand
    things you suggest as life, in fact, we probably
    wouldn't observe them. So it's mere speculation,
    albeit fun.

    Wait until you get into Bs, though... That's

  15. Re:The music ... and the Movie Industry on New Trailer For The Two Towers · · Score: 1

    Ah, the movie studios have their own little
    P2P network, eh?

  16. An idea I never tried :) on Resume Tips For Jobs · · Score: 1

    But wanted to. Seeing as how probably
    the majority require resume in Word format,
    I wanted to send some recruiters an "interactive"
    resume (with some macros, etc). Not at all
    malicious code, just highlighting in some
    ways various sections, etc. It was a sorta
    "hey, look at me!" thing.

    Granted, it's a gamble. It may piss someone off.
    But on average, I'd rather have one person be
    angry at it, and one love it, than both just
    filing it with the others.

    Since I got a job at least for now, I'm letting
    this idea out there ;)

  17. Re:Digital demonstrations? Don't make me laugh on New Technology for Digital Democracy · · Score: 2

    Actually, prior to the Bolsheviks, there
    was not much infrastructure. Stalin is
    the one who industrialized the country,
    albeit with totalitarian measures and
    terror.

  18. Re:Bad idea on New Technology for Digital Democracy · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    How about a progressive poll tax? A millionaire thus needs to part with as significant portion
    of his assets as a poorer person.

  19. Re:This gives me an idea! on Universal Music Hit with Anti-Piracy Suit · · Score: 2

    Because you don't watch the same movie
    as many times as you listen to the same
    CD.

  20. Re:craigslist.org for bay area on Honest Job Sites? · · Score: 2

    I second the recommendation; and they also have
    sections for, among others, Boston, New York,
    and, I think, Colorado and Chicago areas. Check it out.

  21. Re:Before we continue.... on That Link Is Illegal · · Score: 2

    If the administration is doing that,
    then they've got some good chessmasters
    there rather than the usual bureaucrats.
    How likely is that?

  23. Re:An attempt to name 37 operating systems on 37 Operating Systems, 1 PC · · Score: 2

    Forgot Amiga OS, and the great NeXTSTEP.
    Then, of course, how about MINIX, TOPS, etc.

  24. Re:Patenting something already invented on Wright Brothers vs. Glenn Curtiss · · Score: 2

    Agreed that they should expire. But a labour
    you spent while working for an employer
    or a customer is compensated. A labour you spend on an invention is not immediately compensated,
    hence patents are a way to reward the
    inventor.

  25. Re:Patenting something already invented on Wright Brothers vs. Glenn Curtiss · · Score: 2
    Furthermore, define work. Inventions are inventions, they are not labour or a product or a property


    Invention are not labour, but they are a result
    of hard labour, and provide ways to produce
    new/better products. So why is it that
    labour and products are somehow different?
