  1. Re:Fantastic! on New Clue for Life on Mars? · · Score: 1

    Life on Mars? Absolutely! NASA knows all about it, and has been covering it up since the Viking probe. Read these informative articles: http://www.uncoveror.com/martians.htm http://www.uncoveror.com/mars2.htm http://www.uncoveror.com/zhtitikofft.htm http://www.uncoveror.com/outage.htm

  2. Re:A busy day for the feds... on Justice Dept. Raids Homes of File Swappers · · Score: 3, Funny

    If you have MP3s on your PC, fear! Jackbooted stormtroopers from Herr Ascroft's Ministry of Justice may come to your door. Here is actual footage of a raid!

  3. Re:Appropriate quote... on Peeping Tom Worm That Uses Webcams · · Score: 4, Funny

    The FBI, or some other police agency will probably arrest someone they claim is a virus writer, and say that perpetrator has been dealt with, but don't be fooled. This is big brother, not some kid, or an unsociable grown man living in his mother's basement. Read More.

  4. Re:Sounds like a solid business plan on Roxio To Concentrate on Online Music Business · · Score: 1

    A solid business plan indeed! Sell off Easy CD Creator, which is popular and profitable to concentrate on new Napster, which is going over like new Coke. Here's a little something for whoever came up with that idea.

  5. Re:Could this... on Disney Suggests Mandating DRM On All Media · · Score: 1

    It wouldn't be Mickey threatening you. He's just a prisoner of Eisner. He is the guy who wants to make everything pay-per-play.

  6. Re:Max? on FCC Looks Into Regulating Violence on TV · · Score: 1

    The V-chip is always on, and has nothing to do with protecting kids from violence. It's not just in Soviet Russia that TV watches you! Read more.

  7. Re:Its all about the money on Parody or Satire? Threat To Sue JibJab · · Score: 2, Funny

    We sang it this way on the playground... This land is my land. This land ain't your land. This land was made for only me. I got a shot gun, and you ain't got one. If you don't get off, I'll blow your head off. This land is my land. This land ain't your land This land is private property.

  8. Re:Stupid on Canadian Music Industry Drills Dentists · · Score: 5, Funny

    Are there any recordings of tranquil music so old that they are in the public domain? If so, play those, and tell The Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada that the world's smallest violin is playing for them.

  9. Re:Wow on Copyright Bill could Stifle Innovation · · Score: 1

    They do what ever they are bribed to do. They are, to paraphrase Hunter S. Thompson, a parliament of whores.

  10. Re:1984 on 1984 Comes To Boston · · Score: 1

    The Uncoveror saw this coming: 2004 Will Be 1984 Through Use of Webcams. If there are terrorists in Boston, they might discover where these cameras are, and use "girls gone wild" to distract the watchers. I bet Boston didn't think of that.

  11. Re:Changed the view of the US? on Bobby Fischer Found · · Score: 1

    So the man behind the man vs machine chess hoax has been apprehended! Will he talk?

  12. Re:Nice technology on Broadband Blimps · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Nice indeed! What these will really be is Big Brother's floating eyes in the sky. Read more. You can see black helicopters, but white blimps can camouflage themselves against the clouds.

  13. Re:That's interesting. on Senate Unanimously Passes Anti-Camcorder Bill · · Score: 5, Insightful

    While no one will likely bash this law claiming a right to videotape in theatres, I will say that this law is way too draconian. Three years in prison if it's not for profit, and five if it is when nothing tangible has been taken? Fines would be more appropriate. If they are going to be draconian, why not just sentance camcorder "pirates" to death? What are those senators smoking?

  14. Re:People do this already! on RIAA Protests Digital Radio · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And you didn't even mention the First Amendment. Copyright, by locking up ideas as property; saying that once they are expressed, they can't be re-expressed without formal permission and the payment of fees; is a form of censorship. That isn't freedom of speech or freedom of the press, is it?

  15. Re:No on Should The FCC Be Abolished? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Some have suggested that the FCC should be abolished because the market can regulate itself. They are smoking crack. Deregulation gave us the horrible consolidation that has six or seven companies owning all media. How many radio stations in your market are owned by Clear Channel? The real problem is the FCC has become completely irrelevant. All current commissioners need to be replaced. You can't regulate and industry, and let it wine and dine you at the same time. That's a conflict of interest.

  16. Re:Great... on Brew Your Own Auto Fuel For 41 Cents A Gallon · · Score: 1
    DIY biodiesel is a great idea, just don't try it the the U.K. BP has banned it.

    British Petroleum or British Parliament? They are really the same thing.

  17. Re:money on China Scrubs Moon Mission Plans · · Score: 1

    Now that the Chinese won't go to the moon, Bush doesn't have to worry about red China controlling all the green cheese, but he probably still wants some.

  18. Re:Inflation. on Out of Gas · · Score: 1

    You will really feel like crying if we have hit peak oil. Whatever you do, don't even mention that concept to SUV nuts.

  19. Re:Shows on How Prevalent are Bogus Degrees? · · Score: 1

    As long as a piece of paper is among the hoops we have to jump through in life, buying that peice of paper from a diploma mill is going to be common. If someone is doing their job well, then where they got their paper credentials should not matter.

  20. Re:Blame "The Angel Of Death" on Lucent: Down But Not Out · · Score: 1

    It is no wonder Lucent is mimicking IBM, The company that placed a mole inside their boardroom, and HP's, nearly destoying both, is too successful not to have some things worth immitating.

  21. I want one! on HDTV TiVo Now Shipping · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dear Hughes: Send me a fre HDTV Tivo, and I promise to write a glowing review of it at uncoveror.com!

  22. Re:Copyright, Organized Crime and Schools? on FBI Raids Arizona School District Over Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    Repealing prohibition took away organized crime's biggest market, and nearly eliminated organized crime by making it unprofitable. If the mob really is now "pirating", then aboslishing copyright, a form of censorship that has ceased to serve its purpose, would deprive them of that market.

  23. Re:Expect "internet radio" to disappear on Shifting From P2P To Stream Ripping · · Score: 1

    True. Any new medium that the recording industry doesn't control will be attacked. It is all about power and control. They will have less money to hire lawyers with though if we don't buy CDs.

  24. Re:I've thought of this before too on Contactless Electrical Current Transfer? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Wireless transmission of energy was Nikola Tesla's dream, and he pulled it off at short distances. Too bad he died in 1943, and can't post to this thread. If he had found funding and support, we might only have to put up energy antennas to catch electricity, but then the power company couldn't send us a bill each month. That's why he never found enough funding his reasearch, and people called him crazy.

  25. Re:Swings and Roundabouts - Next Chapter? on The Mellow Baboon · · Score: 1

    If these baboons were put in a zoo, would they go bezerk if a curious kid threw a rock? Normal baboons do. Read more.
