  1. Re:The obligatory joke... on The Introvert Advantage · · Score: 1

    I know people like you, and I'm not being mean, but..

    You're just not funny. I'm sorry. People don't care about whether you're a geek or introverted or extroverted. You're just being annoying.

  2. Re:Mosquitos with a howitzer on Inquiry Into RIAA's Piracy Crackdown Tactics · · Score: 1

    No. Distribution - not duplication.

  3. Re:he's right. on Inquiry Into RIAA's Piracy Crackdown Tactics · · Score: 4, Interesting

    There's a thriving industry of indie music already. Most indie bands do indeed tour, at least nationally and quite a few internationally.

  4. Re:Also in the news on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Speaking of Firebird, and this is sort of offtopic - but, does anyone know how I can get a middle click (wheel button) to open a new window instead of a new tab in Firebird? I'm just not a fan of tabbing.

  5. Re:This is absurd on Cringely Proposes a Music Sharing Alternative · · Score: 1

    I am immoral. I do not have the right, but I do not care. OK? If I feel that an artist deserves my money, I'll show it by buying a t-shirt (and hey, then I'm a walking billboard, too) or going to a concert. And I just don't give a shit what the law has to say about that.

  6. Re:No, no on No Doom 3 This Year? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'd hit it.

  7. Re:Why DVD _S*U*C*K*S_! on DVD Players - Buy Now or Wait for the Violet Laser Models? · · Score: 1

    Because they don't want you to record a DVD to tape? Shrug. Just buy a new goddamned TV.

  8. Re:Unbelievable on DVD Players - Buy Now or Wait for the Violet Laser Models? · · Score: 1

    No, the one about teeth whitening was worse.

  9. Re:I'm not surprised about Fanning. on Napster, Audio Fingerprinting, and the Future of P2P · · Score: 5, Informative

    Uh? Fanning made Napster. Literally.

  10. Re:Ping on Mailing Disks is Faster than Uploading Data · · Score: 1

    Probably a more direct route, actually.

  11. Re:Waste of money on SETI Gains Respect, NASA Funding · · Score: 1

    There might not be other intelligent life out there, but there's certainly some sort of life out there somewhere.

  12. Re:dude.... on Do-It-Yourself Payphones or Netphones? · · Score: 1

    NASCAR?

  13. Re:The ads probably should be legal on Gator-style Overlay Ads Are Legal, Says Court · · Score: 1

    Mozilla with pop up blocker, yes. Actually, you should look into applications that restore the system upon reboot (unless you have authorization to install and whatnot).

  14. Sound? on Anti-Spam Webforms Leave Out The Blind · · Score: 1

    So we expect that a computer is going to be smart enough to figure out it needs to find a sound file, go to the link, determine what letters it needs, and put it in the appropriate box?

  15. 17" Screens on Toshiba Introduces A 17"-Screen Laptop · · Score: 2, Interesting

    People act like these are firsts. I remember seeing 17" screens for awhile back from small unheard of laptop manufacterers.

  16. Re:imdb forum on Indiana Jones To Arrive Again in 2005 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The imdb forum, no offense, has got to be the filth of the Internet. It really boggles my brain every time I go there.

  17. Re:*slaps forehead and winces* on X-Box Hackers Trying to Blackmail Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    Well, I mean, the "exploit" is a method that they discovered that makes installing Linux easy. As a side effect, it makes pirating extremely easy (not needing the use of a mod chip).

  18. Re:*slaps forehead and winces* on X-Box Hackers Trying to Blackmail Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    People complain about how this is illegal all the time, but has anyone actually ever been busted for it?

  19. Re:Privacy issues with google on KaZaA Wants to Be An Official Content Distributor · · Score: 1

    Makes perfect sense to me. The record industry won't get rid of them - persuade them to change - so they should join them (Kazaa).

  20. Re:If this guy's mom is like my mom... on Mom Meets Linux - A Lindows 4.0 Review · · Score: 1

    YES! I know exactly what you mean. It's the most annoying thing in the world.

    Yes, and the getting angry that another poster identified as well - same here.

  21. Also of note. on New G5 Power Macs "Fastest Desktop In The World" · · Score: -1, Troll

    It's going to be the most expensive desktop ever. :D

    Seriously, even if it is more powerful than a PC, the value is still going to be the PC's advantage. I suppose that's opinion though.

  22. Re:How many workers? on Hydrodemolition Robot Crushes With Water · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I invented that joke, you know.

  23. Re:three-dimensional? on Maine Completes Largest To-Scale Solar System Model · · Score: 1

    Hm. That's interesting.. makes me wonder: why is it that the solar system is coplanar or close to it?

  24. Re:And in other news... on BSA Creates Piracy Statistics · · Score: 1

    One, or any finite number, divided by infinity approaches but never reaches zero.

  25. Re:I Love The Haters on Star Wars Episode III: Behind the Scenes Webcam · · Score: 1

    Of course, George Lucas didn't even write (besides the story) or direct TESB, arguably the best of the bunch. Oh yeah, he didn't write or direct RotJ either. Critiscm of the newest movies is simple: the dialogue and plot are extremely weak and the acting is terrible. Oh, these latest two were written and directed by George. George Lucas is far from a genius.

    Anyhow, you're either in middle school or you're trolling.
