  1. pay the least amount of cash on Ballmer: Don't Expect Simpler Licensing Soon · · Score: 1

    So those evil customers dont want to overpay.. go figure.

    The licensing doesn't have to be so complex... Really it doesn't. its all designed to screw you out of as much as they can.

  2. Re:Lack of good equipment? on Will Books Be Napsterized? · · Score: 1

    I have been reading books on the computer since home computers first got video output... and yes, E-paper is wonderful.

  3. Let's hope that copyright doesn't stand in the way on Will Books Be Napsterized? · · Score: 1

    Copyright wont stand in the way, but the attorneys will.

    But in the end, they will lose, unless we lose ALL control of our digital device and basic freedoms first. ( which is always possible ).

  4. Information ... on Will Books Be Napsterized? · · Score: 1

    Should be free, and will be free.

    If you don't offer 'added value' to the information you produce, then you are doomed.

  5. Lack of good equipment? on Will Books Be Napsterized? · · Score: 1

    I hope he's kidding. Reading devices are not the issue. The trouble of converting is, and that is becoming less of a issue by the day.

  6. Re:Not the first middle east nuke on Report Claims Iran Has Data To Build a Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 2

    Only the good guys can be trusted. ( yes, this is sarcasm.. before anyone flames me )

  7. Data is simplistic on Report Claims Iran Has Data To Build a Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 1

    Skill is a bit harder to come by.. You have to go buy/threaten an ex soviet scientist for that.

  8. Stones are *missing* on Miniature Stonehenge Discovered In Wiltshire, UK · · Score: 1

    So how the hell can you be sure what they looked like? They could have been totem poles or something.. just happened to be arranged in a similar round pattern, which is most likely common for that era of man ( think sun/moon god worship ).

  9. Firmware on Palm Ignores USB-IF Warning, Restores iTunes Sync · · Score: 1

    If a cars firmware breaks an engine accessory, id say there are larger issues at stake and its time to sell the car.

  10. any recourse? on Palm Ignores USB-IF Warning, Restores iTunes Sync · · Score: 1

    Should there be is the correct question.

    Should Palm ( or anybody else ) be able to interface with consumer items like itunes without getting its hands slapped?

  11. No on Did Chicago Lose Olympic Bid Due To US Passport Control? · · Score: 1

    Chicago lost because they offered a less attractive *package* then the others. They couldn't compete at several levels, which is good as the midwest really doesn't have the cash to spend on this with the economy the way it is.

  12. Re:Lamest rebranding on Comcast In Deal Talks With NBC Universal · · Score: 1

    Sure, but its not science related like the channel should be.. Or monster related ( which is what the channel was degenerating towards )

  13. In the end. on Comcast In Deal Talks With NBC Universal · · Score: 1

    "There can be only one"

    But in this case, no sword battles and cool lighting effects will be involved.

  14. 18%? on Americans Don't Want Targeted Ads · · Score: 1

    18% said those companies should be put out of business

    Cool, and i thought i was standing alone in that attitude. Nuke the damned companies.

  15. Re:Might be a little too far? on Google Wants to Map Indoors, Too · · Score: 1

    There are some buildings which are quasi public, that they might actually be able to publish.

    True security clearance buildings would of course be off limits.

  16. Might be a little too far? on Google Wants to Map Indoors, Too · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Im all for freedom of information, but are they planning on publishing floor plans of private buildings too? That could be a severe security risk in some cases.

  17. Pay per use on Company Uses DMCA To Take Down Second-Hand Software · · Score: 1

    No used sales, no 'use until you are done'... Its like a markers wetdream.

  18. Ownership on Porn Surfing Rampant At US Science Foundation · · Score: 1

    The problem with restricting access to public funded computers is that the public funds them, including the person using it.

  19. Re:Hands-free is allowed on For New Zealanders, No More Phones As Sat-Nav Devices · · Score: 1

    Just like we did when people still used maps. Far safer.

  20. Debug? on FreeBSD 8.0 vs. Ubuntu 9.10 Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    Doesn't the kernel code in 8RC1 still have debugging stuff enabled? I know that is a speed killer and would at the least skew the numbers.

  21. Re:Summary on FreeBSD 8.0 vs. Ubuntu 9.10 Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    Stability and predictability are also rather important factors ( in the favor of *bsd )

  22. car with built-in centrifuge on First Look At Wild New "Level 10" Concept PC Case · · Score: 1

    Depends, are you making meth out of the trunk? if so it might come in handy.

  23. Full Circle on First Look At Wild New "Level 10" Concept PC Case · · Score: 1

    This is how things used to be...

  24. Re:Countermeasures on Revisiting DIY HERF Guns · · Score: 1

    I'm all for promoting homegrown electronic countermeasures, as I've long fantasized about building a directional, subsonic-targeting HERF weapon to discourage noise pollution on my residential street.

    I have found a shotgun works well.

  25. archive.org? on Revisiting DIY HERF Guns · · Score: 1

    So what happened to this Slava dude?
