  1. So if you have to pay RIIAA for every CD purchased on Rosen Floats ISP Fee Idea -- Charge Everybody! · · Score: 1

    Then is there a black market for cds?

  2. Re:They wont care... on GPS Jamming for $50 · · Score: 1

    So your saying they equipt all their hummers with Nav Star?

  3. Re:CE on When Appliances Revolt · · Score: 0, Troll

    No that is not true at all, with all the technology in them the reliablity has gone down. Heck, a Mercedes-Benz has a fiber optic network to tell you the seat is down. What is really the point of it, you need it that fast that you car will explode if you don't push the seat up. Not to mention they are over priced and the things that are optional, that are standard in more other more realiable cars today.

  4. Like the sharks themselves aren't to blame on Sharks in Serious Danger · · Score: 1

    They do eat their own offspring on occasion. Well it isn't increasing the population any is it. Well first Bananas now sharks, what next the African Fruit Fly?

  5. Ok but on When Appliances Revolt · · Score: 1

    Does it take a whole lot to open your trunk, by the time the trunk is open you can have done opened it and closed it.

  6. Re:The solution on Music Biz Predicts 6% Decline in '03 · · Score: 1

    Well they can still bootleg them. I have a couple of Rush bootlegs. Though the Music industry doesn't really go after these people since they don't profit from them atleast the people who trade them. Grateful Dead let you bootleg there concerts, though they frowned upon you selling them.

  7. Re:I feel bad for Microsoft on MS Must Ship Java With Windows Within 120 Days · · Score: 1

    Actually this would probably be in the end users best intrest since most newbies don't know how to install Java and syslink it so the programs reconize it. Though I prefer Blackdown's over Sun's because it has less compatibility issues.

  8. Re:wow on RIAA: We Won't Pursue Mandated DRM Technologies · · Score: 1

    no no no I just have to get a soldering iron and the latest copy of The Linux Bios Project. So I won't be able to go to www.mircosoft.com like I go there anyway. Funny thing is though, since most of the internet runs Apache, and since Apache is GPL'ed it won't be signed, since it won't be signed it won't run. So most of the internet won't survive because of DRM/Pallidium(yes the go together no matter what arguement you make), which is going to make me believe this technology won't survive because most of the internet won't survive and most of the internet is a lot which means a lot of servers won't adapt the technology, and like the Ford Edsel its going to come crashing down because once again, they didn't consult the consumers.

  9. If DRM and Pallidium... on Discuss BIOS and Palladium Issues With an AMIBIOS Rep · · Score: 1

    If Pallidium isn't equated to DRM, then why are they always associated together. When one is talked about, why is the other. Apparently if you are promoting DRM then you are promoting its software extension Pallidium. The thing is both can be turned off, on with hardware, one with software(probably a registry entry :) )

  10. Re:Yes, tax the rich! on Internet Taxation May Be Imminent · · Score: 1

    I don't really know anyone that can't afford $20 a month(give or take $1 - 2). On another note, this already is done some states(California) makes people pay tax on the things they buy. Pretty soon one day we will probably have Senators that actually know how to use a computer and states like these(California) won't have these problems.

  11. Re:Here's a simple one... on Discuss BIOS and Palladium Issues With an AMIBIOS Rep · · Score: 1

    Then wouldn't that just defeat the purpose of TCPA, we can all just get developer boxs, and what operating system would you use? Windows, but wouldn't that be Pallidium enabled?

  12. This has been around for awhile on Games Controlled By An Exercise Bike · · Score: 1

    They have those bike things in that place(where Body Wars is) in Epcot.

  13. How hard is Anaconda to use? on Ark Linux · · Score: 1

    Really how hard is Anaconda, its very user friendly compared to other installers like YaST(sorry the average user does not prefer a weblike installer even its creator said its geared twoard more advanced users) Mandrakes Installer is little more difficult to use depending on who you talk to, I don't think it is but it just me.

  14. I guess I'll have to get one of these on New Generation of Cases? · · Score: 1

    I am currently using this and was going to upgrade to corrugated but this changed my whole perspective on cases.

  15. Re:Girls in CS on Girls not Going into CS · · Score: 1

    no dammit its, an assume out of assume and assume not and ass out of yourself. I guess I just figured out why women outpreform men in school

  16. Re:Crappy products but inovative lawyers on Toner Cartridges new DMCA victim · · Score: 1

    Then I guess you'll be handwriting and drawing everything from now on.

  17. Wouldn't it be smarter if on LGP Announces Two More Titles · · Score: 1

    In this day in age for now anyway a company that just port Windows to Linux games is bound to go under quick. What you should be doing is not focusing yourself on porting games but doing something else that will give you stablility and port games on the side like Transgaming. They make WineX and also do an occasional port. They have a good buissness model and are sure to last for a long time.(unless Microsoft buys them out)

  18. Re:Real life story - RTCW on LGP Announces Two More Titles · · Score: 1

    RTCW GOTY doesn't need a Windows Installation and it was out before Christmas which you should have gotten over the original, you also could have saved money because GOTY is cheaper than original for some reason. Yes I have Punkbuster problems because it won't enable no matter what I do, still no workaround.

  19. Re:try again, sir on Mandrake Releases 9.1b1, New Packaging Model · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't say HP machines, but thats just my prefence, maybe Alienware or Falcon Northwest, but I play games all day.

  20. Re:We all need to thank Mandrake on Mandrake Releases 9.1b1, New Packaging Model · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't you want to knock them off on both fronts since once Marketshare is gone OS sales becomes the domiant factor. Once OS sales is gone is a for chapter # (Pick a number go on use your imagination)

  21. Re:Captain Obvious Strikes Again on Hard Drives Down To A Dollar A Gigabyte · · Score: 1

    Why is this flamebait? What because of the title, well it is actually obvious and if it isn't well your brain is operating at the speed of a 486SX.

  22. Re:DOS attack her computer. on Partitioning Bandwidth Using Mac OS X? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't this defeat the purpose. If you have to Denial-Of-Service attack her computer each time she's excessive using your bandwidth then why bother even letting her download in the first place?

  23. No we won't on Real DRM · · Score: 1

    All we have to do is not buy any new hardware and use pre-drm technology and Linux. For a breif moment in history we will be slowed down but can stop DRM in it tracks.

  24. Re:Well on Windows XP Media Center Edition Review · · Score: 1

    Well I wonder if it will stop you from copying a cd for back-up purposes, or not play mp3s even though you may own the cd that has that song on it.

  25. Re:Practical Applications on The Speed Of Gravity Revealed · · Score: 1

    4) Regulate it so you can only use the first 26 feet so no one will benefit from it in the U.S.
