  2. Re:Man, are those guys good, or what? on Satellite IDs Ships That Cut Cables · · Score: 2, Informative

    Or so the Illuminati would have you believe. I was really expecting a golden submarine, the Leif Ericson to be responsible. But I would guess Hagbard Celine to be too clever to be spotted.

  10. Nope, it's not -- Re:Complete change of strategy on Collective Licensing for Web-Based Music Distribution · · Score: 1

    If you look back you will see that the record industry made cassette makers pay a surcharge on their production. not much to notice and they just added it to the price to the consumer. This is just the same tactic all over again. Instead of leaching off media producers they are gonna stick it to AOL and the other big ones. This way the get a cut off every person on the internet.

    I think it's just a more advance form of that. This won't go over well with the Linux Proselytizers, with regards to Linux/Windows. Makes ya feel for those stuck in bad OSes.

  20. Re:Simple Mind on Class Action Complaint Against RIAA Now Online · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Ok how is this;

    We will never be able to completely equalized the value of any ART (Music, paintings, photos, dance, etc) to the originators. As long as money is involved there will be greed. The Artists as a CLASS are horribly undervalued for what they do. And no Armani wearing Suit is really going to ever sound credible talking about how much the artists are not getting paid when famous musicians are surfing couches because they didn't see anything out of the record that got them a Grammy. Big Record companies are like whales, they filter the Krill out of the sea (and fight Giant Squids and Insane Sea Captains).

    Take out Music insert artform you got everyone else covered.

    Some things you can do;

    1. loan out your couch.

    2. go to live music/preformances

    3. ??????

    4. Profit

  21. Re:It would be good... on The REAL Reason We Use Linux · · Score: 3, Insightful

    While it was nice to RTFA, which I do actually before posting. (yeah I am a weirdo, people keep telling me)

    However, the truth to this story is ---- "But all of that is just marketing BS"

    it's a one page, - THIS I BELIEVE page. Other then throw a sudden 30,000 hits on the author's site it will accomplish nothing. it's not anything I can tell a non-linux user that would draw any more of a response then when you tell your dog a joke..

    They stripped out the article because its worthless.

  22. Re:Poor little guy on An AI 4-Year-Old In Second Life · · Score: 1

    Consider this is state of play in human social evolution, I don't think Skynet has anything to worry about. Bombs are expensive, in a generation or three nobody outside of the trailer park set will be breeding.

    Other target practice Skynet doesn't need to lift a weapon.

    Hmmm, life FPS dang.....

  23. Re:Panic? on Panic in Multicore Land · · Score: 1

    I take it you've never experienced a 80 CPU panic..

    Likely both models will happen, it's likely anyway. Both camps are right. If anything we should see some new super-computer companies emerging in the next few years as the split widens.

    overall it sound like it's going to be fun.

  24. Minority Report Please dear god NOOOOOO on Ads With Your Name On Them · · Score: 3, Funny

    Granted, I was very un-hopeful when that flick came out, on the one hand, Philip K. Dick, on the other three (and both legs and much of the torso) was Tom Cruise. Still the personalized ads bit was there. Funny how they offered him pink clothing.
