    you mean like product placement?! not exactly a new concept...

    I get more work done when Windows is not running... now I'm confused!

    Maybe Chief Harold Hurtt should be a trendsetter and install cameras in his own home

    I bet he called the cops quite a few times already!

    we improve rover speed to a modest 45 km/hr

    You might want to consider the "road" conditions on moon prior to tuning your vehicle. Just an idea. Bring lots of ganja, anyway!

    here's another one: indy "plays songs, you rate what you hear. Indy quickly learns what you like and gets really smart about sending you more music you'll like." (Win/Mac/Linux). When I tried it about a year ago, they didn't have enough songs, though...

  8. Re:It's because Opera is free now on Firefox Slides, IE Gains? · · Score: 1

    Please mod up. The AC is right, even the most recent Opera version still identifies itself as IE. That's a clever move, because IE figures are always too high because of this and Opera can claim that their user base is actually a lot larger.

  9. Re:The EFF calls it Voluntary Collective Licensing on Unlimited Legal Music Downloads for $3.95 a Month? · · Score: 1
    here's another approach.

    "The "Berlin Declaration" calls for an indirect compensation that has been time-tested for private copying since decades. Users would pay a flatrate for the right to share, and the online collecting society would pay authors and publishers according to the measured use of their works - without setting up a surveillance-system such as mandatory for Digital Rights Management (DRM)."

    It's not like any whale will in any way be negatively influenced by the harvesting (i.e. picking up from beach) and selling of this item.

    well, not everyone waits until the whale vomits... probably because you can make money off of unpuked whale stuff, too.

  13. Re:They Will Succeed! on BellSouth Will Charge Providers For Performance · · Score: 1
    Bell will succeed with this

    That would be even more ridiculous than the concept itself; compare with the phone network:

    as a customer, you can expect that you can call people/services and that they can call you.
    If your telco says (or you just notice) that calling your bank is possible, but you may experience bad voice quality and dropped connections because the bank refuses to pay for "using" the network (i.e. for a call you already paid for!) and they also might have a hard time calling you because of that, would you accept that?
    Would you ask you bank to pay your telco or would you rather get a "real" phone line?

    Or how about "Delivery failed; your ISP refuses to compensate us for the traffic they are causing, so we no longer accept mail from your domain." *shakes head*

  16. funny? on The Funniest Places for Hardware Stickers? · · Score: 1
    not sure. I placed this next to the output plug of my first electric guitar (which is terribly noisy and all switches and plugs are worn out). Didn't help at all; doesn't look cool, either.

    A Behringer sticker on the back helped a lot more (keeps the cable plugged in), and the girls particularly like the neck sticker that says "Choose 3 of your favorite songs and save BIG!"

    Right. And what else would you expect from a Microsoft product? It's not only not a bug but a feature, it also makes any Windows User feel at home right from the start!
