  1. Re:Great timing. on Music Industry Pays $67M Fine For Price Fixing · · Score: 2

    Price fixing is one of the reasons for the bocott of the recording industry called for by dontbuycds.org, and other groups. Maybe the tide is turning back in consumers' favor.

  2. Property of Downloadcard on Universal Music Hit with Anti-Piracy Suit · · Score: 2

    The following are the intellectual property of Downloadcard, and Universal may not use them: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

  3. Ballmer and Zippy on Ballmer Wants to "Stomp Linux" Using MS community · · Score: 2

    Did anyone else notice how much Steve Ballmer looks like Zippy The Pinhead? You know, I've never seen the two together. Could it be that Ballmer is Zippy The Pinhead?

  4. Re:What's next? on HP to Heavily Support and Invest in .Net · · Score: 2

    Did you know that IBM was behind the disasterous merger of Sperry and Burroughs that formed Unisys? That was just one of many examples of IBMs skullduggery. They also like to place moles in companies to bring them down, such as Carly Fiorina. The few at HP who think buddying up with Microsoft will save them don't know they've already been sold out.

  5. Killing Napster killed broadband. on Report: Broadband Too Expensive For Many · · Score: 2

    Just getting your e-mail and surfing web pages a little bit faster is not enough reason to pay the price of broadband, but Napster was. ISPs have the RIAA to blame for DSL not taking off. They should join the consumer boycott of the recording industry.

  6. Dontbuycds.org endorses Tara Sue Grubb on One Woman's Fight to Save P2P · · Score: 2

    Dontbuycds.org endorses Tara Sue Grubb. If North Carolina's 6th district Slashdotters will get out and tell all their neighbors why they are voting for Tara, she has a chance. All it really takes is name recognition. Don't tell the old timers she not a dem or repub. Just tell them her name, and that we need people who understnd technology in congress, not just white haired old men with VCRs flashing 12:00

  7. Nice fan site. on Firefly Premieres Tonight · · Score: 2

    Nice fan site. How long will it be before Fox's copyright cops shut it down for infringement?

  8. Our response to "nokie" on Nokia calls Wireless Warchalkers 'Thieves' · · Score: 3, Funny

    We, the wireless networking users, have taken Nokia's comments under careful consideration, and have issued our response. Thank you, and have a nice day. :)

  9. Re:Get a pushreel lawnmower on Toro iMow - A Robotic Mower that Works? · · Score: 2

    Deefeecult to poosh if you are a girlee mon! Not if you are pumped up!

    Yes. I use one.

  10. Replacement for Frontpage? on Bringing WYSIWYG Content Editing To Mozilla · · Score: 2

    If either of these is an adequate replacement for Frontpage, A lot of webmasters will finally kick Microsoft to the curb.

  11. Re:I hope they don't send Britney to Space on Drink Pepsi, Go to Space? · · Score: 2

    If they want to send Britney Spears into space, They should get NASA to use the X-4000 Launch Aparatus. While they are at it, they could send Lance Bass, and the rest of the plastic prefab teenyboppers.

  12. Get a pushreel lawnmower on Toro iMow - A Robotic Mower that Works? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you use a pushreel lawnmower, they use no gas, oil, or electricity, and dont make any noise. They don't mulch, so your wife will need to make a compost pile, or just leave the clippings where they fall, which is not a problem if you mow often enough. Sometimes primitive technology can solve modern problems.

  13. Re:A bit of history here on Egyptian Pyramid Rover Finds... Another Door · · Score: 1, Troll

    Aliens did build the pyramids and the Sphinx. They built the pyramids and face on Mars as well. We have known this since the Viking probe in the '70s. Read all about it. Martians destroy Mars Climate Orbiter. Martians destroy Mars Polar Lander. Martians have base on dark side of moon. There it is in black and white. We couldn't print it if it weren't true!

  14. Re:Before the brainwashed Gore defenders start in. on RIAA Seeks Summary Judgement Against P2P Services · · Score: 2

    Isn't it ironic? The RIAA was fighting against the PMRC's censorship in the 1980s, and championing freedom of expression. Now, they are for censorship, asking the courts for prior restraint against file trading. This stifles freedom of expression by taking away one of the only forums unsigned artists have. They also will not sign anything but Britney Spears style teenybop crap to recording contracts. They are now stifling music more that Tipper and her bunch ever could have. Maybe the almighty dollar was all they ever cared about, and they never gave a damn about freedom of expression. Does the DMCA still allow us to express what we think of them? Boycott the recording industry.

  15. Re:Too late. The cat is out of the bag. on "Squishy" DRM? · · Score: 2

    If Mozart had lived in our modern age, with our recording industry, his end would have been the same. The record lablels rip of artists, and fans, then call both theives. Check out this article. They accuse artists of "biting the hand that feeds them," if they don't repeat the RIAA party line. Fans' hands feed them, not those record company leeches! Boycott the recording industry. Don't buy CDs.

  16. Re:When Slashdot attacks on When Users Attack · · Score: 3, Funny

    If you are tempted to return your defective computer because your keyboard has no "any" key, read this first.

  17. Re:No one thinks its a UFO? on Is This Moon Three? · · Score: 2

    Since no one knows for sure just what it is, by definition, it is a UFO, an Unidentified Flying Object. That doesn't prove that it's alien, but it could be. If it is a moon, those nasty Zhti Ti Kofft will put a death ray on it.

  18. Re:"Piracy" is the excuse on Yet Another Look at CD Sales · · Score: 2

    "Pay per use" is indeed the RIAA's goal, but they won't wait five years. They already want us to pay to listen to the radio. Check it out!

  19. Re:Well if your at college ... on How Has Post-9/11 Legislation Affected You? · · Score: 2

    Oil financed Al Queda. Telling a kid with a dime bag of pot that he is helping Osama is an obscenity. Bush senior wanted the death penalty for drug "king pins." The problem is that any kid caught with a dime bag, or named by an informant is one when a prosecuter is running for judge, or a "tough on crime" judge is up for re-election.

  20. Rumors and paranoia on How Has Post-9/11 Legislation Affected You? · · Score: 2

    While I can't blame legislation for the changes I have gone through, I can blame rumors and paranoia. At work, all non-office people have to pass through metal detectors, and be frisked, and wanded if the detector goes off. This was allegedly for "more security, but really, they are assuming that everyone but "the suits" is a thief. At work, they tell us every day how us lousy drones are lucky to have a job. The desk jockeys seem to think any chimp could replace those of us who actually work for a living. My wife was treated in very cruel fashion at the Social Security Administration by security for bringing in her purse. The sign that said "no packages" did not imply tat a lady's purse would be considered a package She needed to get a social security card with her married name on it. That security pig got off on rifling through her belongings, and accusing her of being illiterate, bringing in a "package." Since that day, every security guard thinks he's a real cop, and every real cop thinks he's god almighty. Last October, kids weren't allowed to have any Halloween because of absurd rumors about poisoned candy. It made me sad not to have trick or treaters coming to see my cool haunted front porch. They had loved it in 2000. Now not a day goes by that I don't here that absurd rumor about poisoned Coke or Pepsi told to me by a stranger, co-worker or relative who actually believes it. Since that day, we have been living in a state of siege, and America has been the land of the fearful, running scared. Freedom has been just another marketing buzzword. All the jingoism and flag waving that people call "patriotism" does not console my grief for the over 3000 dead, the kids who weren't allowed to have any Halloween, or the simple liberties we have lost. These things rub salt in my wounds. Far too much of the joy in life has been taken from us all. The terrorists have successfully terrorized us, and continue to. I could go on forever about how rumors, paranoia, crass attempts to make money off of our grief, and false patriotism have upset me, but that would be just too much to read. I think I will leave the idiot box turned off tomorrow.

  21. Re:It's not changing channels on Targeted Advertising Using Digital Set-Top Boxes · · Score: 2

    Not only that, but some channels are starting to use pop-up ads that contain subliminal messages. Kind of scary, huh?

  22. Re:i sold hp for a while... on Printer Makers' Ploys · · Score: 2

    Dude! Why did you waste your time e-mailing Carly Fiorina. Don't you know she's a mole for IBM?

  23. Re:Why not take your DNA? on Police Ask Stores to Take Fingerprints · · Score: 2

    Darn Microsquash Keyboard!! Here's the correct link.

  24. Re:Why not take your DNA? on Police Ask Stores to Take Fingerprints · · Score: 3, Funny

    I suspect that many customers will respond to Operation Thumbs up with Operation Fingers Up.

  25. New World Order? on Palladium, 'Trusted PCs' in the News · · Score: 2

    Before reading this article, I knew little about Palladium. Since reading this article, I know little about Palladium. It was a whole lot of nothing. Like .Net, I still don't know what Palladium is, and suspect that I won't want any part of it when I do. It is probably part of the dark conspiracy to spy on us, and bring about the New World Order with things like webcams, bugged ceiling fans, the V-chip, and mind control software.
