  1. Passport Wallet on Microsoft In Talks To Buy Claria · · Score: -1, Troll

    They just want to add its credit card remembering capabilities to Passport Wallet.

  2. Re:What is Utah really like? on Send Email to Utah, Go to Jail · · Score: 1

    God != Morality

  3. Re:Your... on Identity Thieves Drain Unemployment Benefit Funds · · Score: 2, Funny

    I keep trying, but it's rejecting my mail! Something about SenderID.

  4. Re:Is this actually meaningful? on SAG Rejects Game Contract · · Score: 1

    XIII
    I can't say i'm a fan, but I do like David Duchovny quite a bit. However, his acting in XIII was AWFUL. In the opening scene, where he says "Ugh, my head." it sounded like he had picked up a piece of paper and was reading it to himself out loud, trying to figure out what it was saying. And his performance through the rest of the game wasn't much better.
    This is one instance where it would have been better to get some random person to read the script than going with a highly-recognizable actor.

  5. Re:Not a true crack on Microsoft Genuine Advantage Cracked · · Score: 1

    Pretty soon you'll probably see worms that go from computer to computer, generating a key, then sending it out over the 'net. Even if it doesn't spread very far, it would generate a lot of problems for WGA.

  6. Re:Cite your sources! on New Amazon Patent Cites Bezos Patent Reform · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think the point of the Doonesbury comic is: If a comic strip artist can think of one click shopping via a computer, then it's not very non-trivial, is it?

  7. Re:Ummm...this is 2005. on Body Modifications Still Hinder IT Professionals? · · Score: 1, Troll

    If you were getting drunk in college, then you're not a true geek. Go find some other profession, we don't want you!

  8. MSNBC? on Microsoft Bans 'Democracy' for China's Web Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Anyone else think it's odd that this is being reported by MSNBC?

    Hey! Check this out! The company i work for is being immoral!

  9. Re:Where's Pastor Ken when you *need* him? on Microsoft Bans 'Democracy' for China's Web Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Some guy leans on MS for defending human liberty and dignity, and now you want him to lean on them for NOT defending human liberty and dignity? I'm confused.

  10. Re:So they will be what Linux shells.... on New MS Shell Will Not Be In Longhorn · · Score: 1

    No, they will be what UNIX shells offered 20 years ago.

  11. Re:Anyone else on Windows to Have Better CLI · · Score: 1

    ... So they're targeting the female gender for their CLI?

  12. Re:if it comes with flash and such too on 'Lower Rights' IE 7.0 Coming · · Score: 1

    But then how would Windows Update work?

  13. Re:Drugs? on Judge Rules Offering != Distributing · · Score: 1

    This would be more like walking down the street with a bag of white powder and trying to sell it, then when you get busted they find out it's just powdered sugar. They have to prove you actually had the drugs to prosecute you.

  14. Re:More foot stomping... on MPAA CEO Dan Glickman on the Broadcast Flag · · Score: 1

    Yes, and putting a lock on your door is just like presuming all your neighbors are thieves. I'm insulted that my neighbor put a lock on his door! Does he honestly believe I'm gong to steal from him?

  15. Re:Subtlely (?) destructive viruses on Virus Hold Computer Files 'Hostage' for $200 · · Score: 1

    This is already happening. Several companies have been affected already. One such case is Microsoft itself. In Bill's scheduled appointments, he has "Windows Longhorn: Release" and some stupid virus keeps moving the date. Also, Duke Nukem Forever would have been released if this virus hadn't moved that appointment to 10/10/10.

  16. Re:Pol-A-roid. on E3 2005 Booth Babe Hall of Shame · · Score: 1

    As opposed to Poll-A-roid, where you get to ask your hemorrhoids all those dirty questions.

  17. Re:I wonder on Bram Cohen to Release BitTorrent Search Engine · · Score: 1

    I can see it now... The RIAA and MPAA sponsor ads saying "You're computer has been hacked! We know you've been illegally downloading files and we're going to be knocking on your door any minute now!"
    Scare off anyone who wants to download files.

    Well what if you found out that every 7 years or so, you had a completely different body than what you had previously? Gasp! You're a different person! Change your name!

  19. Re:this feels like *the* one to watch. on Review: Star Wars Episode III · · Score: 1

    You do realize that Vader is basically one big stump. All his limbs were hacked to pieces and he's in a mobile life support unit. And you call that ATTRACTIVE?

  20. Re:Life starts at conception on Stem Cells Derived from Human Clones · · Score: 1

    While the cake is baking, it is partially a cake, and partially batter. If you were to remove the cake in the middle of baking and remove all the batter, but leave that which has baked, what would you have? Half of a cake. At what point does this cake become deserving of the rights granted to all cakes, such as the right to be covered in a delicious sugar frosting? I would say: at the point which it becomes mostly baked, to the point where you could take it out of the oven and it wouldn't collapse or ooze all over the place when you cut it.

  21. Re:Get the facts? on Windows Cheaper to Patch Than Open Source? · · Score: 2, Informative

    In addition to yast and yum, in Mandrake you can set up an RPM source (as a directory, share, HTTP URL, or removable media..) and it will update from there. So you would only need to download the patches to one central server, and set that up to be the repository for all the other computers on the network.
    Pretty much any distro with package management can be used this way.

  22. Re:Tell Congress how you feel HOWTO on Broadcast Flag 2 - Electric Boogaloo · · Score: 1

    What are you, some kind of commonist?

  23. Re:So They Have Gone and Killed ... on No Need For Trek Anymore · · Score: 1

    So what exactly does BSG have to do with the Mormon church? I've watched a few of the older episodes, haven't seen any of the new ones, and I'm a former Mormon. I'm just curious what the connection is, as i just don't see it.

  24. Re:Le Grand Workaround on Dutch Pass iPod Tax · · Score: 2, Informative

    Like the Digimind player. They have a version with no drive at all, then you can buy any laptop drive and insert it, whatever size you want.
