  1. Re:Let's be fair ... I hate both parties on Georgy Tells Why She Should Be California Gov · · Score: 1

    How did he buy himself the election? If I recall, he's not the one who got elected by the Supreme Court.

  2. Offline reference on Absolute OpenBSD · · Score: 1

    ... an off-line reference is useful

    ...when the box gets h4ck3d? :)

  3. Re:umm... on Microsoft Nailed by Software Patent · · Score: 1

    Sounds like Rumsfeld talking about WMDs.

  4. Re:Mod parent up! on GnuCash - A Call For Help · · Score: 2, Insightful

    > ok, your a business that handles over a million transactions a month and has a couple hundred thousand customers... what was that about not taking all day?

    if at that point you're not running Oracle Financials or SAP but still running GNUcash (or Quicken for that matter), you're smoking crack.

  5. Bush & pals on RFID Will Stop Terrorists? · · Score: 1

    can go fuck themselves. That's why the terrorists have won: because we have less and less freedom without getting any safer. Airport security is a joke, there are thousands of miles of border that are un-protected but instead the FBI can spy on you all day long, Tom Ridge & Ashcroft can arrest you without right to counsel, etc. What a pity.
    Bush keeps saying that he'll never forget the lesson he learnt on 9/11. Hardly so. The lesson of 9/11 is that the FBI & the CIA suck and couldn't connect the dots with information THEY ALREADY HAD. Why do would they need more power?

    WAR ON TERROR = NEW House Un-American Activities Committee

    Mod me down, I don't give a shit.

  6. Re:It's the Bush brothers... on Florida's Version Of TIA May Spread To Other States · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe they can use idle CPU cycles to recount ballots in the next election too.

  7. Re:Abuse? on EU Says Microsoft's Abuses Are Ongoing · · Score: 4, Informative

    I was going to mod you as Troll, but since you seemed so concerned about your precious Karma, I'll reply instead.

    Realplayer has certainly tried to beat them in the realm of streaming content, but due to such little things as shit for quality and lack of content, they didn't do so well.
    That's because M$ was able to push their format as a result of their monopoly. You're confusing the result with the cause.
    Quicktime has really always been a Mac format,...
    Bullshit. It runs on Windows & OS X which is BSD-based. Hardly a Mac-only (old style) product.
    ...to include a product that is evolving with technology to 'put down' legacy media players??
    what legacy products???

    Take a look at what Microsoft has done to other products as a result of their monopoly (Netscape, Lotus, Sybase) and try to learn something from History.

  10. Re:*sigh* I give up on RIAA music for good on RIAA Now Targets Pirates' Parents · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, HERE (Google Cache)'s the list from the RIAA's website. I'm sorry to see that 4AD which is an indie label (or at least used to be: Breeders, Belly, Pixies, Cocteau Twins) is at the top of the list.

    1500 Records
    333 Music
    4AD Records
    4th & Broadway
    5 Minute Walk
    510 Records
    550 Music
    550/Fox
    57 Records
    A Vision/Teldec
    A&E Latin Music
    (...rest cut to avoid lameness filter...)

    so exactly, what is an indie label? Maybe they should start putting stickers on CDs that say: "NO RIAAA INSIDE"?

  11. Re:If they do sue you on RIAA Now Targets Pirates' Parents · · Score: 1

    funniest post read in ages

  12. Re:"May veto?" on House Overturns FCC Media Consolidation Plan · · Score: 1

    WTF?

  13. Re:"May veto?" on House Overturns FCC Media Consolidation Plan · · Score: 1

  14. Re:"May veto?" on House Overturns FCC Media Consolidation Plan · · Score: 4, Interesting
