  1. Re:Stealing on Turner CEO: "PVR Users Are Thieves" · · Score: 1

    Recording is in violation of the DMCA and by recording their copyrighted advertisements, you're a thief and a terrorist.

  2. Re:full text on Linux "is not piracy" Says Microsoft Lawyer · · Score: 1

    I've also never come across a "professional pirate."

    Nope, no eyepatch-wearing sailor has ever plundered my ship, waved a sword at me, and told me to walk the plank.

    Apparently, the BSA links those to ogranised crime, though.

  3. Re:Ar the "Lite" programs actually ad-free? on Spyware Makers Resent Cleaned-Up Versions · · Score: 1

    Really? I haven't had any random pop-ups from Kazaa lite. I've also found that it is faster and connects better than the manually-castrated Grokster that I had before.

  4. Re:Four Different Games? on Video Games Not Protected Form of Speech · · Score: 1

    In the same way that Unreal Tournament is different from Half-Life, or actually different?

  5. Re:Stop, thief! on The Culture of CD Burning · · Score: 1

    I don't think it would be possible for society to suffer a blow like that. What would become of the phrase "dirt common?"

  6. Re: Well... on Kazaa Lite: spyware-free version · · Score: 1

    Maybe so but how often do you visit the Kazaa-lite webpage when you up and download files over the service?

    It's better to get a few popups when you download the thing than to get a lot over the hours that you leave it on to download DivX mov^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H independantly-produced media.

  7. Re:Big deal on Kazaa Lite: spyware-free version · · Score: 1

    The point of this is to make it easier for us lazy-ass bastards who don't want to fiddle with our registry manually.

  8. Re:Other options on Kazaa Lite: spyware-free version · · Score: 1

    Well, if you had bothered keeping up with P2P at all, you would see that:

    a) Morhpeus was Kazaa, now is Gnutella
    b) Gnutella sucks ass
    c) WinMX isn't quite as good as Kazaa
    and
    d) Kazaa-lite is specifically spyware-free.

  9. Re:cDc blocked on On Hacktivism · · Score: 1

    I don't think it's so much sexually explicit content as potentially dangerous borderline-illegal content. It makes sense for your school to block it, just as it would to block instructions on how to make pipe bombs from common materials found around one's school.

  10. Re:What the hell? CPU naming. on End Of the Road for Duron · · Score: 1

    Well, the next one could be Diamantium, and after that, Nut-Log!

    (No, not quite metals, but they are really strong substances)

  11. Re:Image Mirror on Unreal Tournament 2003, Now With More Ogg · · Score: 1

    Because Geocities sure doesn't place bandwidth-per-hour and outside linking restrictions on stuff.

  12. Re:Feh... on Best Buy Backs CD Copy Impairment · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't see what else he could mean. But yes, I've noticed that if the current trend of girls liking less trashy pop continues, 'NSync will be saying "Bye bye bye" to their money, and Britney Spears will be forced to make the porn industry Stronger than Yesterday to earn a living.

    (The bad jokes just don't stop, hoooooooo)

  13. Re:"Everything went great until it looked like... on From Midway to Xbox, The story of Seamus Blackley · · Score: 1

    Who needs that much texture memory in a football? Honestly, I'd much prefer if they'd work on their games rather than texturing footballs for maximum hardware-zealot enjoyment.

  14. I've got it! on Behind The "Work-At-Home" Street Spam Signs · · Score: 1

    Lose 30 pounds!

    Don't eat so much spam.

  15. Re:ps2 has the advantage... on PS2 Vs. X-Box: Winner Emerging? · · Score: 1
    I hope the Oddworld guys decide to re-qrite Munch's Odd. for PS2, I wanted to play it badly, but I refuse to buy an X-Box.

    Don't play it on the XBox. I was really looking forward to Munch's Oddyssey up until they had the in-store demo of it. The thing plays like a brick on ice, and the graphics are hardly better than a first-gen Dreamcast title (Soul Calibur notwithstanding, that looking better than many current anything titles)
  16. Re:Hack or crack? on DoS Attacks Persisting, On The Rise · · Score: 1

    Some might say that the original meaning of "hack" is "chop with an axe," making the MIT meaning a bastardisation of that term.

  17. Re:I personally reckon on Everquest Coming To the PS2 · · Score: 1
    Please tell me where in "real life" I can go slay orcs and dragons, and cast really big pretty magic spells.

    There are ways, but EQ's main selling point is that it's a non-narcotic alternative.
  18. Re:Legitimate Products???? on A New Low for Web Advertisers: Pop-Up Downloads · · Score: 1

    My MSIE asks me everytime I enter a new login/password to a site whether I want it to remember. If I don't, I can say "No" and it will forget it.

  19. Re:credit on Tool Box PC · · Score: 1

    He did. Later in the article, he mentions "Once again, Computer Surplus Outlet came to the rescue. I went down there and walked out with several old pieces of mounting hardware, for free. W00T!"

  20. Re:Just get KazaaLite on CEO of Brilliant Defends Sneaky Installation Practices · · Score: 1

    Or Bonzai Buddy as in a monkey in a small glass jar.

  21. Re:The trappings of fame... on Public CD Copying Machine in Australia · · Score: 1

    They give their albums away for free, and other people burn them and make their own mixes, or "distributiojns" of their CDs.

  22. Re:Here's my counter ad: on Microsoft To Start Running Anti-Unix Ads · · Score: 1
    ESR in there as well shooting a gun and riding a mcse tech around like a small horse


    Wouldn't that work better with CowboyNeal?
  23. Re:Playstation 3? It's already out!! on Distributed Playstation · · Score: 1

    I said `Step pause turn pause pivot step step' not `Step pause turn pause pivot step pause'! Oh, shudder!

  24. I'm surprised they didn't mention this one... on Simpsons Guide to Math · · Score: 1

    Lisa: But seven goes into twenty-eight four times.
    Mathemagician: Uh, this is a -magic- seven!

  25. Am I missing something? on Finally Real P2P With Brains · · Score: 1

    Doesn't Getright do this already?

    And with filesharing, Kazaa/Grokster?
