  1. From the Croft on P2P Operators Plead Guilty · · Score: 1, Interesting

    "Those who steal copyrighted material will be caught, even when they use the tools of technology to commit their crimes," U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft says in a statement. "The theft of intellectual property victimizes not only its owners and their employees, but also the American people, who shoulder the burden of increased costs for goods and services."
    How many times do we have to say it's not stealing????
    Aren't these items selling at record levels????

  5. Re:But what does it taste like? on Coming Soon: Self-Heating Coffee · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    [Jules, Vincent and Jimmie are drinking coffee in Jimmie's kitchen]
    Jules Winnfield: Mmmm! Goddamn, Jimmie! This is some serious gourmet shit! Usually, me and Vince would be happy with some freeze-dried Taster's Choice, but he springs this serious GOURMET shit on us! What flavor is this?
    Jimmie Dimmick: Knock it off, Jules.
    Jules Winnfield: [pause] What?
    Jimmie Dimmick: I don't need you to tell me how fucking good my coffee is, okay? I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping she buys SHIT. Me, I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It AIN'T the coffee in my kitchen, it's the dead nigger in my garage.
    Jules Winnfield: Oh, Jimmie, don't even worry about that...
    Jimmie Dimmick: No, let me ask you a question. When you came pulling in here, did you see a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage?"
    Jules Winnfield: Jimmie, you know I ain't seen no...
    Jimmie Dimmick: Did you see a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage?"
    Jules Winnfield: [pause] No. I didn't.
    Jimmie Dimmick: You know WHY you didn't see that sign?
    Jules Winnfield: Why?
    Jimmie Dimmick: 'Cause it ain't there, 'cause storing dead niggers ain't my fucking business, that's why!

  6. i've seen them on Sony Cautious in PSP Production · · Score: 1

    These new PS2s look really flimsy. The drive cover doesn't even look like it has the stability of an average CD player.

  7. Re:Can you still get the original trilogy? on Return of the Jedi DVD Detailed Changes · · Score: 1

    i downloaded the torrent files last month. i pulled 5 and 6 and waited on 4 to make sure i didn't pass my bandwidth allocation. i just started 4 yesterday. all is good with the torrent. maybe they are dead.

    i'm more of a fan of the divinyls' classic

  10. See lucas ruin your childhood yet again on Star Wars Episode III Teaser Trailer Today · · Score: 0, Troll

    this time, better colors, better graphics, and worse dialog. seriously though, i want to see it. it must have one good fight seen in it.

  13. Re:While the Poll is obvious... on Election Day Discussion · · Score: 1

    would this not be accounted for in the "Can't vote option"???? The poll isn't, "Who would you vote for?" but, "Who will you vote for?"

  14. I think Nelson Muntz said it best on SCO Gives up on Linux Website · · Score: 1, Funny

    HA HA!!!!

  15. 10/10 geeks agree on Pre-Election Discussion · · Score: 1

    when serveyed, 10/10 geeks agreed that they just haven't seen enough bush.

    n0PUc4Me said, "i wake up almost nightly with warm thoughts of bush and smile. i hope one day i'll get to meet bush personally and display my deep affection."

    strangely enough, jocks seemed to agree with the geeks on the presidential election.

    iHafBikFUTBalz said of bush, "even though bush leaves a funny taste in my mouth, i've always enjoyed the power of bush and the direction bush leads me.

    women seem to be the least behind bush.

    eyeLIghK2LikY was one of many anti-bush women. "if i had bush in front of me, i'd give that bush a tongue lashing that would never be forgotten," she exclaimed.

  17. i'm always less productive on Warm Offices Boost Productivity · · Score: 1

    we have a lot of hotties in this office and they all start wearing painted on pants and crop top shirts...... i cant work. it's torture. i love it and hate it all at the same time. none of the other geeks can work either. you can almost see the ropes pulling heads from across the room as one of them walks by. now, put yourself in our position and imagine how much worse it would be if it was warm year round.

  18. Re:At first thought, a bad idea. on British Library Starts Email Archive · · Score: 1

    dude, as sad as this sounds, that was the funniest thing i've read in weeks.

  19. If you love the job, follow the job on U.S. Programmers An Endangered Species? · · Score: 1

    I've said it once before, probably more. If you love being a programmer, then follow your work to another country. It may be culture shock for a while, but you'll get used to it. I'm an American in the Czech Republic. Their are endless job opportunities here. As a recent graduate, I spent two years without work, but the job postings aren't dry here like in the US. Anyone willing to experience the Czech Republic contact me.... we have plenty of jobs here.

  20. Re:How is this possible techincally? on France to Allow Cell Phone Jamming · · Score: 1

    i could see it being possible by having their own "tower" for the cinema. make the signal strength so hi that every phone chooses to listen to that tower, rather than other towers, then don't connect the tower to anything other than emergency calls. granted, it would be easily hackable, but it would be 99% effective.

    thank god for google the story

  23. Re:Here's the thing I don't get about MTV. on Video Game Characters to Get Out the Vote · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Is it that I got old, or does it actually suck as unrepentantly, and unrelentingly as it appears to?

    I think the major problem is that MTV lost its M. It was temporarily cured by the introduction of M2, which later lost its M. There is still a bit of M left, but it's not worth searching for.

  24. Re:Tech Specs on Can Infinium Compete In The Game Console Market? · · Score: 1

    well, xp embedded must have a smaller footprint than xp (hence the name). if the kernel doesn't have extra crap tacked in, i would bet it would be possible.
