  1. Re:ACK!!! on New Windows Worm Inching Around Internet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But the editor is still making an insulting comment not really related to the article and not backed up in any way. It seems there are one of these lines at the end of every article related to . . .well. . .not related to Linux. The comments never add to the article. Please leave them off.

    I have read Orwell. This peanut butter and jelly sandwich is Orwellian.

    I propose nobody use the word "Orwellian" unless refering to something that is Orwellian.

    www.homestarrunner.com completely justfies flash on its own.

    David only won because God supported him. Something tells me that heaven's mainframes aren't running SCO Unix.

    Washington DC - President Bush today announced that the Republican party will be officially claiming responsibility for all successes in and relating to the United States of America since, and including, its creation. Except for the Internet, Al Gore was all over that. And internet users are terrorists anyway.

  6. Re:The real statistics. . . on The Future of the CD · · Score: 1

    The economy started going before Bush got into office. People really started to notice after he got in. I'm no fan of Bush, but you can't blame the economy on him. You may be able to blame him for not helping its recovery, but not for causing it.

  7. The real statistics. . . on The Future of the CD · · Score: 4, Interesting

    3 percent of consumers polled are buying less music because prices are too high.
    8 percent are not buying less music.
    2 percent are buying less music because they would rather just steal it.
    87 percent are buying less music because they already bought everything they want, and all the new stuff is garbage.

    Seriously, I would guess the numbers to be about 50,5,10, and 35, respectively. Keep in mind that those citing high prices are doing so in a worsening economy (thanks Clinton!).

    1.) Smokey Diesels.
    Diesels do not have a history of being smokey. 1 diesel engine, the 70s GM diesel V-8. It was an America only engine. EU doesn't have a problem with diesels.

    2.) 8/4 Cylinders.
    Lets hope it fares better than GMs infamaous 8-6-4 of the 80s.

    The network is not my property. Does that mean that the information on it is not mine? If I have copyright to something, and I put it over the network, isn't it still mine?

    They can tell me when and where to park my car. They can NOT however, search my car and have it towed if I have a pirated Metallica CD laying on the back seat.

    You use somebody else's anti-virus software? What do you use? The links you provided offer no clue to your software, only to your operating system.

  12. Re:History Repeats Itself on IEEE Wants Congress To Re-Examine DMCA · · Score: 1

    Unions don't break the law. File sharing of copyrighted data does. That difference kills your analogy. Now, if people boycotted, that would be something else. But we do't yet care enough to do that.

    I personally think xfree86/kde/gtk+/gaim looks better. Simpler. No stupid pictures.

  15. Or mail them on Instant Concert CDs? · · Score: 1

    Even if they couldn't have enough copies to sell the whole show to everyone, they could give you the first set, and then mail you the rest. People don't want to stick around afterward anyways.

    Oh the irony when the bands who sell the most CDs this way are the Boob Synced Boys whose live CDs will sound EXACTLY like thier studio albums.

    I could leave work and get there at midnight. I could not however, get back to work by 7:30 the next morning. I could probably get about halfway before I fell asleep and wound up in a ditch alongside I-77.

    And there would be no "getting laid" involved anyways. We go straight for the _really_ good stuff. Godiva chocolate cheesecake ice cream. I'm not kidding. (:

  20. Re:Opera sues Apple? on Safari Killing Opera for Mac OS X? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Irrelevant. Microsoft used their monopoly in one market [operating systems] to hinder competition in another market [browsers]. Apple does not have a monopoly in the OS market, so this does not apply to them

    The people living the the British colonies in the mid 18th century were able to use public streets, the public water supply, public parks, and I assume (but don't know) that they also had some sort of public police type force. Thats not the point. The point is representation.

    Nobody under the age of 18 should have to pay sales tax either. Even if a minor lives in Ohio and buys something in Ohio, its still going to a government for which he has no representation in.
