  1. Re:many perspectives on Still More RIAA News · · Score: 2

    Sure, nike only makes a few dollars profit per shoe AFTER they subtract the $600 million marketing budget...

  3. Poster devoid if network knowledge on Speakeasy Welcomes WiFi network sharing · · Score: 1

    The poster obviously missing the basics of network connectivity.

    Nobody opens 'their' network to wifi. You can open your internet connection without opening your 'network.'

    Besides, what does this guy have to hide? He's probably a terrorist.

  4. The same way ISPs do. on Wireless Phone Carriers Held To (Texas) State Law · · Score: 2

    Quit making excuses. If they had 1 customer, they would not have this problem. If they oversell they should realize it because they should be monitoring the drop rate and congestion. DUH!

    And how can it be tested? The same way gas stations are tested for how much gas they offer. Have someone making calls and reporting the success of them. simple.

    But its even simpler. supena the records of call droppage and congestion.

    You seem to suggest its so complex we should just be happy with it. You should receive what you pay for, this stuff is not free you know.

  5. Re:Do I have this right.... on Amazon Releases 1-Click Patent Sequel · · Score: 2

    Patents are virtually free compared to the litigation. Amazon is a paper tiger. The second anyone with cash challenges her, she will FOLD. Amazon can not afford to defend against any law suits let alone initiate any...

  6. Re:But... on Pay to Play the U.S. Way · · Score: 2

    Sorry. Getting papers of incorporation is not a simple task. It is quite monitored and no one could set up such a 10,000 corporation block as you suggest.

  7. Re:Sounds like rationalization to me... on First-Person Account Of Video Game Addiction · · Score: 2

    I agree. After playing war2 for years. Then getting into Starcraft games of which can take an hour to finish I decided no more.

    My old crack, err, Starcraft buddies are trying their best to get me to buy Warcraft 3. I ain't gonna do it.

    I have a son, and a wife. They can suck time like nobody's business. I have no time for such games anymore. Besides, RTCW is so much better ;)

  8. I been foolin wit these jokers for a while now... on Updating Quickbooks Forces Online Membership? · · Score: 2

    I have had my taste of intuit for a while now. I use plain old Quicken. They mislead you with 'extreme prejudice' into thinking you need the online junk. Its part of the install. You never click cancel during the install right? But you gotta know when the install is over and the garbage begins...

    In any event, you can usually get the updates from their website if you are 'Sherlock' enough. Thus, you don't have to use the auto- weputyourfinancialinfointoourbagoftricks update junk.

    Of course this is with Quicken and YMMV.

    I just can't believe you have to do _anything_ online to use your non-online software.

    Perhaps they subverted you into using an online version? I think intuit has online versions of all their money packages and sometimes the offline versions turn themselves into web-forwarders to the online versions if you are not careful.

    Why in the living HELL would I wan't to _PUT_ my money online????? I mean my whole portfolio? I simply can't imagine why.

  9. Re:It's not too hard to see where this is all goin on Because Only Terrorists Use 802.11 · · Score: 2

    I have tp agree this IS bullsh!t. Let them show they are at least competant before they start asking for more. Let them at least SPOT Bin Laden, then we can talk some more. But until they show they can use what they have, I see no reason for them to get more.

    Seems like I have yet to hear a single good idea from the White House, including dems and non-partisans as well.

    Why the white house can only come up with obvious ideas that a 6 year old can thing of, yet they want us to think they are intelligent and smart is beyond me.

    Their decisions show the intelligence and innovativeness of a child.

  10. I agree on Gateway to Ship PCs with Pre-Installed DRM Music Files · · Score: 2

    Further, didnt I pay for the HD? Isint it my hard drive? They should pay me rent for wasting my space with unaccessable junk.

  11. 2 reasons. on FatWallet Strikes Back Using DMCA · · Score: 2

    2 reasons.

    1. when you ask the lawyers they will always suggest you sue. Its what they do.

    2. The eggs are cheap but the milk is sky high! This kind of breaks their ability to get you in because of the cheap price of X and they try to sell you lots of Y. Because you now know clearly that Y is cheaper at the other store. (stupid in this internet era)

  12. Re:I'm shorting MS stock. on Linux Lands Big Bank Account · · Score: 2

    Many of those widgets require loading more data which would reload the webpage. You can not just reload a portion of the webpage.

  13. I agree totally on Using Sound To Test Internet Connections · · Score: 2

    The poster missed the point that you are making. The surgeon does not have to LOOK at the meter to know his connection quality. He can listen to it.

    If I had this is RTCW maybe I could adjust my aim better. Thats whats holding me back!

  14. Yes, if I'm selling the network ;) on Hospital Brought Down by Networking Glitch · · Score: 2, Funny

    Of course the answer is to build a completely seperate network if I am the one who you will pay to build it ;)

    This is obvious.

    In truth the network problem was not a physical one so then solution should not be a physical one.

  15. Time to move servers on CA Supreme Court Saves LiViD, Pavlovich · · Score: 3, Interesting

    My server is in CA, is yours?

  16. Re:What ST captain would look best on Ask William Shatner · · Score: 2

    Kirk in his era had the chest that people seemed to like. small, bald.

    Picard in his era also has the chest folks seem to like. Hairy.

    Sisko I'm afraid was past his chestly prime. On spencer for hire maybe, but on DS9 he had put on the lb(age).

    Janeway never did it for me.

    Archer was of course a fine woman.

    If you lined them up Id have to go with Picard. Perhaps because it fit his personality so well.

    Banning the word "free" would be a much more reliable way of blocking porn.

  21. Auto manufacturers on Lik-Sang To Take On The Big 3? · · Score: 1

    I thought big3 refered to Ford, Chrysler and GM.

    This made me think they were somehow relating their legal issues to the recent congressional bills that called on the Big3 to release the specs on their modules communications and error messages in their cars which would of course allow to some degree the "modding" of automobiles.

    I guess not...

    Remember ATI is the 500lb Gorilla here, not NVIDIA. ATI just woke up in time to see NVIDIA trying to sneak in on its graphics card market and put the smacketh down, respectfully.

    Lets see NVIDIA wake up and charge a little less that the 1/2 a grand they seem to think their metal is worth...
