  1. We sure do like to bomb things on Bombing the Moon for Water · · Score: 1

    So, are we putting this under the same initiative as bombing the middle east for oil?

  2. The obvious solution on SCO Threatens Red Hat and SuSE · · Score: 1

    is for SCO to end their financial troubles by selling everything to Charlie Northrup. Then, the company would be happy because it wouldn't be in the hole, and their public opinion would be better because they wouldn't be the ones looking bad with a lawsuit.

  3. Almost as funny as User Friendly on Old-school Nerdy Comics · · Score: 1

    Which means not very funny at all.

  4. I don't get much spam from Australia on Australian Considers Outlawing Spam · · Score: 1

    Most of mine comes from servers listed in the APNIC. What needs to be done is for countries like china to crack down, but from what I've been hearing, they are trying to.

  5. Progressive scan won't fix the jaggies, though on PS2 Getting DVD Upgrade & Progressive Video? · · Score: 1

    The main problem with the PS2's visuals is 4 cruddy megs of video ram and lack of flicker reduction.

  6. Not owning your computer eh? on Cryptographers Find Fault With Palladium · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's not much of a change from now: you don't own your copies of windows nor do you own your XBOX

  7. This is bad new for case modders on Tiny Bubbles Key to Cooling Crazy Hot CPUs · · Score: 0

    I mean, their whole goal in life is to add as many fans as possible to something; cpu fans, exhaust fans, backup fans, fans for the fans.

  8. who would those jobs go too though? on Tech Jobs Projected to Double by 2010 · · Score: 0

    Outsourced to India? I mean, my old man currently has job security simply because of some law that does not allow his company to hire anybone on a green card without first hiring a US citizen; but he's still only one of a handful of US citizens at his workplace.

  9. Sega does on HP Calcs Live On Under PalmOS · · Score: 0

    Sega bought the rights to an emulator called KGen98 and released it as the "Sega Smash Pack". It's pretty cheap to buy too, $10 new, but only works with the handful of encrypted roms that sega packaged with it.

  10. Hmmm..... on Weekly Microsoft Critical Security Issue · · Score: 0

    No, this is a good thing. You see, the only way Sun is going to be able to compete with Microsoft's .net implementation is if they have a special Java runtime environment designed to mimic .net's features, right down to stability and security. Don't you see, Microsoft is doing Sun a favor.

  11. Do your homework problem solved on Pinnacle, Online Grades, Skipping School and More · · Score: 0

    Well, by law your parents have complete total dominant control over you until you're 18. Like it or not, you have to put up with it.

  12. solution: on WLANs As Spam Conduit · · Score: 0

    Presidential pardons for anybody who kills a known spammer in cold blood

  13. whoop de doo on Congress To Consider Age Limits On Violent Games · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm over 18, so I could care less. You little turds will just have to wait till you're 18. No big deal. Same for movies.

  14. Re:The Hitchhiker's Guide! on What Makes Great Science Fiction? · · Score: 1

    Of course, there's always his equally good series about Dirk Gently.

  15. Give him a call on Another Millionaire Spammer Story · · Score: 1, Troll

    Ralsky, Alan M 5016 Patrick Rd West Bloomfield, MI 48322 248-661-5166 Leave a message on his answering machine stating that you do not want any unsolicited mail... Or, one could give him a taste of his own medicine and make unsolicited sales calls to his house... or even better: put large ads up on his front lawn.

  16. It's all a matter of customer service on Will Cable Unplug the File Swappers? · · Score: 1

    RIAA or no RIAA, Time Warner and AT&T, which surely could afford more routers, should not place some sort of "Ye-ha! It's bandwidth cap time!" crap on us. We pay for the service, and if the company we pay money to cannot provide the service we need, then those damn CEOs better get off of their fancy lawn chairs and give us some respect.

    For example, as a lowly college student, I am a wage slave at a grocery store, and we run this government sponsored program known as "Ohio Women, Infants, and Children" (WIC), whereas struggling mothers get vouchers that allow them to redeem them for certain, product certified foods (kind of like food stamps, only they can only get what's listed on the voucher), and the government reimburses us. In order to keep our WIC liscense, we are required to keep enough cans of baby powder (and yes, Similac charges $10 for a can that costs probably fifty cents to make, showing they don't give a damn about the health of little kids). Anyway, if we run out, we have to drive to another store and buy more off that store's shelves, or risk losing our WIC liscense. The companies we subscribe to should also bear that sort of responsibility.

    I don't know how good of an analogy that was, but I'm sure if the ISPs looked at it, they might get a tiny hint.
