  1. This is a problem? on China Telecom Blocking Skype Calls · · Score: 1

    Lets see.. A sovereign state wants to regulate its telecommunications.. What is the problem here?

  2. Unlicensed version of winPE? on Windows XP In Your Pocket · · Score: 1

    No, i dont think so.

    Its something similar, but its not a 'unlicensed version'.

  3. Re:Go directly to jail on BBC Opens TV Archive to Remixers · · Score: 1

    Remember Ruby Ridge?

  4. And opportunity to slip in that DRM chip on Bulky System Requirements for Windows Vista · · Score: 1

    This is a good way to get those wonderful 'trusted' computers into peoples homes in a stealthy manner.

    They will only know that in a couple of years they cant run new stuff on the shelves, so they have to get a whole new computer..

    What a scam.

  5. Re:Go directly to jail on BBC Opens TV Archive to Remixers · · Score: 1

    Last i heard, the 'law enforcement officer' does nothing other then serve you papers.

    Its the 'owner' that sues you.

  6. TCPA 4 years away .. on Linux Five Years Away From Mainstream · · Score: 1

    Once that gets in full force, nothing but blessed OS/Applications are going to run anyway, so 5 years might as be 5000...

    I really doubt any 'free' OS will be able to get blessing.

  7. Re:Who cares? on Iraq TLD In Legal Limbo · · Score: 1

    How about just give them the axe?

  8. Do i care? on BBC Opens TV Archive to Remixers · · Score: 1

    Oh, i know and understand what the laws say, but I dont happen to accept those laws as being valid.

    So i really dont care.

  9. Re:Screw the license restriction on BBC Opens TV Archive to Remixers · · Score: 1

    The industry doing nice things? You are nuts.

  10. Autoloader on Infrastructure for One Million Email Accounts? · · Score: 1

    He didnt say 'revolver', you are just assuming..

  11. Screw the license restriction on BBC Opens TV Archive to Remixers · · Score: 1, Troll

    If its been broadcast, its in public domain as far as I'm concerned.

    I could care less about any 'restrictions', once I've seen/heard it i can/will do what i want.

    Dont like that? Then dont broadcast it.

  12. Patriot on Iraq TLD In Legal Limbo · · Score: 1

    Booth thought Lincoln was destroying the USA, and was willing to die for his country in order to protect it.

    That qualifies him as a patriot.

    Now, I wont debate if he was misguided or not, my only reason for having that as my sig is to make people think, not to make a political statement in either direction.

    As far as the Iraq issue, I cant accurately quote you the % of the citizens that are terrorists.

    However, going by past history, that area of the world has a higher ratio then the rest of the civilized world. Take that as you wish.

  13. Re:Why would it sound different? on A Review of the iPod nano · · Score: 1

    I dont care if it records, just having a radio with me would be nice. With out having to carry another box around with me..

    While 'music' at your fingertips is great, once in a while broadcast radio is good to have.

  14. Why would it sound different? on A Review of the iPod nano · · Score: 1, Troll

    I'm sure they used the same decoding circuit.

    Having a more powerful amp in the device is a tradeoff on battery life. Its nothing to get exited about.

    Still, wish they would have added a radio to this thing.

  15. Re:Who cares? on Iraq TLD In Legal Limbo · · Score: 1

    "fake shit-kicker that is the current custodian of our Presidential office."

    And you call me a troll.. Sheesh.

  16. Who cares? on Iraq TLD In Legal Limbo · · Score: 0, Troll

    They dont even need internet access, they need food and shelter at this point.

    Besides, all they will do is use it for terrorist support.

    Now, before you mode me down, I'm *not* saying all the population are terrorists, but the few over there that are not sure as hell dont have the resources to even care about someting as abstract as a TLD.

  17. Only Whites use IE on FEMA Demands Use of IE To File Online Katrina Claims · · Score: 1

    All the un-desireables use alternative Operating systems and browsers, so we dont want to help them.

    Its all Bush's fault of course, its part of his master plan..

    Or at least thats what you idiots will be saying next.

  18. Re:For DnDers on Microsoft Sues EU · · Score: 1

    This happens all the time, its how the big boys get away with having to conform to the laws.

    Its sad really. ( that they get away with it, time after time )

  19. Flash on iPod nano, iTunes 5, iTunes Phone · · Score: 1

    Ok, it doesnt say its flash, but we can assume.

    Does anyone know for sure?

  20. Civil Suits on Kazaa Appeal Likely In 2006 · · Score: 1

    You can pretty much sue anyone for anything when it comes to civil cases.

    You may lose the actual case, but if you can manage deplete their resources along the way, who really lost?

  21. half a state uninhabitable on 9 Weeks to Pump Out New Orleans? · · Score: 1

    If that is the price to pay so we dont have to keep shelling out $ every few years to bail these morons out, then I'm all for it.

    Its not like these people didnt have warning.. Sheesh.. Live in bowl long enough and you know its going to flood, eventually.

    Cajun culture? They sound damned stupid to me for living there, so again, no great loss.

    Call me cold-hearted if you like, but i have ZERO sympathy for this sort of thing. They WERE WARNED for f-ing *generations*..

  22. Vinyl Records on Technology That You Loved from the 70/80/90's? · · Score: 1

    Cant beat the sound of an analog vinyl LP.

  23. Crossing the line on GPL to be Modified to Penalize Patents and DRM · · Score: 1

    II think the GPL crew are getting really close to crossing the line with this move.

    But, there will still be the *truly* free choice, the BSD license.

    Yet one more example of why the GPL isnt the best choice out there. They want to dictate what you do with your code.

  24. Re:Free Fusion on Europe Plans a New Type of Fusion Facility · · Score: 1

    I didnt make that assumption.. Personally i dont think 'cells' are the answer.

    They may be part of 'the answer' but not the total answer.

  25. Solar cells are not the answer on Europe Plans a New Type of Fusion Facility · · Score: 1

    There are other ways to generate power from the sun then solar panels, which i agree are not efficient at this point.

    The sun generates a lot of HEAT, the same stuff we use to generate the power from nuclear and coal plants now.
