  1. Re:boycott is not the answer on Would a Boycott of the MPAA/RIAA Help Matters? · · Score: 2

    check out phish and the slew of musicians that allow you to record their concerts and trade the recordings. Go to the theater!

  2. boycott is not the answer on Would a Boycott of the MPAA/RIAA Help Matters? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What we need is someone to step up and provide what we DO want and then buy from them. So long as there is no alternative, then "boycotting" can never work. If you feel strongly about the issue, buy from and support those that are not funded or owned by the bad guys.

  3. Re:what a strange article... on We Are Not Related · · Score: 1
    I truly thought my wheel mouse had scrolled too far and taken me to a second story. I scrolled back up. I was tempted to quit reading, but figured there must be a tie-in somwhere....

    What a waste of my time.

  4. Re:here, here, here.... on Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets Leaked · · Score: 2

    Thanks! It's decent for a Uti release

  5. Re:GODDAMM REPUBLICANS! on State Coalition Approves Internet Sales Tax Plan · · Score: 2
    perhaps in some things. Either way, they're not my party. I used to be pretty active in the Texas Republican party and 8 years ago, even with all the turmoil an bickering among the "Take it Back" group and the Anti-Abortion Coalition, the main focus was less centralized control over redistribution of wealth and rather, local control of tax redistribution.

    Either way, I left the party because of too many religious connotions and individual rights violations. Power corrupts and there is far too much power in our two party system.

  6. Re:Not for me on Run Your Laptop On Nuclear Energy · · Score: 2
    yes, you're right.

    *sheepish grin*

    But... but...

    I'm, sorry.

    glad someone got it!

  8. Re:Nuclear powered cell phone? on Run Your Laptop On Nuclear Energy · · Score: 2

    I hope you're driving your SUV while you drive - It's a lot safer than eating cereal while you drive.

    Oh my god!!!

    A woman on slashdot!

  10. Another Beta Test on Run Your Laptop On Nuclear Energy · · Score: 3, Funny
    Just what we need - to be the subjects of another beta test!

    All kidding aside, I see major problems convincing portable electronics users that they'll be safe with ooooohhhhh.... "Radioactive" devices in their cars.

    It's sad, because no one seems at all concerned with the energy already put off by cell phones and the batteries could be an awesome step torward better power management.

    I wonder what the disposal concerns and criteria are?

  11. Re:How? on State Coalition Approves Internet Sales Tax Plan · · Score: 2

    did you provide a tax id number as a reseller?

  12. Re:GODDAMM REPUBLICANS! on State Coalition Approves Internet Sales Tax Plan · · Score: 2
    remember that the conservative party supports less centralized government and local control of issues while the liberal party supports centralized control.
    This sounds more like a centralized control issue, so don't put blame where it's not due.

    BTW, I dislike both parties and vote Lib

  13. Re:Debt? on Jedi Archives In Dublin Library? · · Score: 2

    there's nothing to find about lucas - It's all about how goofy the fans of these two stories get when their favorite is teased!

    The most significant similarity between dune and star wars:

    the hardcore fans are all geeks!

  15. Re:Their stats... on Upbeat Attitude Doesn't Affect Cancer · · Score: 2
    I inferred that that they studied 26 studies of unknown numbers of patients, not 26 case studies.

    you're right, it is very unclear.

    good 'nough for me.

    Have a great day!

  17. Re:The only true Hope QWZX on Upbeat Attitude Doesn't Affect Cancer · · Score: 1
    I'm not trolling, but I'm also not really interested in reading further on this topic from your perspective. I've seen your refutes to carbon dating and your name (young-earth) which lead me to believe that not only do you and I not see eye to eye on a few issues but that the chasm seperating our beliefs is unbridgeable.

    I'm a paleontologist. It is my belief that your rigid stances are based in your fear that the existance of dinosaurs and other animals that perished prior to the arrival of man on the planet proves the fallibility of God. A god capable of errors is unacceptable to you and my belief in that is a threat to everything for which you stand - including your beliefs in the proper moment for the acceptence of Christ as your saviour.

    Have a nice day.

    but who wrote the bible?

    Can you verify the accuracy of the writings or the translation you quote?

    Could someone please post that to alt.binaries.svcd ?

    thanks kindly. I'm not big on IRC and the usenet structure is so friendly.

  20. Re:Catastrophism vs. Gradualism on 101 Ways To Kill The Dinosaurs · · Score: 1
    Add to your theory of combined events (Gradualism) the discovery of the propensity of late theropods to nesting and body coverings and the very well reasoned theories that thermoregulation by internal means would have been required and you have the natural progression from large meat eaters to smaller and smaller animals that could have survived the gradual onset of the K-T extinction - which is no extinction at all; merely a rapid evolutionary step from dinosauria to avions!

    and also the precursory event leading to my run on thoughts and sentences...

  21. Re:The only true Hope on Upbeat Attitude Doesn't Affect Cancer · · Score: 1

    Are you suggesting that religion is the cure? And this is on-topic how?

  22. Re:Misleading on Upbeat Attitude Doesn't Affect Cancer · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Misleading is an understatement. The headline suggests that everyone has thought one thing is now making a complete turnaround in their beliefs.

    This paragraph is quite telling in the real story:
    " Researcher Mark Petticrew, PhD, and colleagues examined 26 studies assessing the role of psychological coping styles on cancer recurrence and survival, and concluded that none conclusively linked any one style to positive outcomes. "

    They [Petticrew & colleagues] are not even talking about the results of their own study, but a study of 26 studies whose net result is that the big picture is inconclusive.

    Sheesh - talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill here.

  23. Re:do ya hafta? on Larry Rosen on the Microsoft Penalty Ruling · · Score: 1

    nice. a lofty comment from someone unwilling to attach their name. It's finally time to set my threshold at 2.

  24. Re:BeSonic.com! on Ideas for a Recording Industry Alternative? · · Score: 1
    been there, done that.

    I found navigation and searching to be be wearisome and difficult,
    encountered language barriers (unashamed ethno-centurists unite*,) and finally -
    Why would I PAY for mp3 scourced cds?
    If the mp3 exists, then there is a sonicly superior version of the recording somewhere. That is the one I want. Mp3s are fine for streaming and hearing through computer speakers, but CDs go in my stereo and it is capable of so much more.


    * ethno-centurism should be avoided whenever possible, but I included this comment to draw attention to the fact that the statement was at least a little tongue-in-cheek, but also, even though I know it's bad, somewhat true.

  25. Who pays the bills? on Ideas for a Recording Industry Alternative? · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Sadly it comes back to a question of who pays for these web resources?

    Do the artists have to sign some contract to help support the service provided to them?

    Isn't this where the music industry started?
