  1. Re:Uh-huh. on Majority Of Customers Prefer Blu-Ray · · Score: 1

    Blu-ray has a higher capacity, and that sure sounds better to me. Either way, I would like to see true high definition on DVDs now, not another format war like the one that halted DVD burners until drives did both, and the one that killed AM Stereo and quadraphonic records before they even got off the ground.

  2. Re:I like hillary on Clinton To Take On Rockstar · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I wonder if the Junior Senator from New York and everyone else having a cow realize how much free press they are giving this game? People who had never considered buying it before will be curious now, and it will fly off the shelves! Rockstar couldn't have bought this kind of publicity.

  3. Re:Waste of time... on When Webmasters Get Phished? · · Score: 1

    It is simple actually. No "good deed" will go unpunished. Look out for number one. That bank's problem was not the webmaster's problem. Here is another example: If you go into a public restroom, and someone has trashed the place, do not point it out to management. They will only accuse you of doing it, so find another place to use the can.

  4. Re:Wow, refreshing to see a politician... on Lawmaker Revs Up Fair-Use Crusade · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yes, Rick Boucher is one of a few true American heros ever to hold a seat in the House of Representatives. The bloodsuckers in Hollywood and the recording industry would make everything pay per use if they had their way. Broadcast radio and television would be gone forever, as would public libraries. Rick Boucher is one of very few in power fighting to keep that from happening. I have considered moving to his district just so I could vote for him.

  5. Re:people or system? on New NASA Admin Griffin Cleans House · · Score: 1

    Well, whoever put the dad from Family Guy in charge of NASA is the one who should be fired! Oh wait, that's Peter Griffin.

  6. Re:Robin Hood on CMU Professor's Rebuttal Against RIAA Propaganda · · Score: 2, Funny

    And Cary Sherman telling people to respect artists is like Jack The Ripper telling people to respect prostitutes.

  7. It has to be said ... on No Need For Trek Anymore · · Score: 1

    ... It's dead, Jim!

  8. Re:Crusades on PlayStations of the Cross · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    To make it a challenge, some of the heathens would have to fight back, like those moozlim ayrabs who don't pray to jesus. When they do fight back, you get to call them terrorists and really bring out the heavy artillery.

    Your game would have to have some witch burnings, and some bonus stages where no one fights back, and wiping them out is pretty easy. Pogrums for example: those jews in their synagogues are probably just doing witchcraft in there. Go in and kill them and the rabbi, and burn the place down, later there is a level called holocaust where you really wipe them out, and later still; you suddenly support Isreal with your whole heart, and prop up this jewish state because it is part of your recipe for armageddon.

  9. Re:They still don't get it on Trek Producers Will Provide World A Break · · Score: 1

    No, that cliche needs a twist. How about the space nazis are only in the holodeck, until it breaks down and they escape Hitler and all!

  10. Re:So? on Microsoft Misses Quarterly Revenue Projection · · Score: 1

    Yeah! Just because Bill Gates isn't the world's first trillionaire yet doesn't mean Microsoft is about to go belly up.

  11. Re:Tigger on Apple Sued over Tiger, Injunction Sought · · Score: 4, Informative

    And they don't even own Tigger! A.A. Milne's estate does, but this won't stop those assholes at Disney.

  12. Word of the day. on Apple Sued over Tiger, Injunction Sought · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Children, the word of the day is prior art. Can you say prior art? Good! I thought you could.

  13. Re:Examples? on World Intellectual Property Day · · Score: 1

    Inventions of physical things are patented, not copyrighted, and unlike copyright which has become nearly perpetual, patents eventually expire. As per your question, here is that list:

  14. Re:it was bound to happen on Britons Frustrated by DRM · · Score: 2

    The only way to make a difference is to stop buying. Not only are downloads pure vapor you can lose with one false mouse click, but if you can't even use them as you see fit, they are worthless. Even a penny a piece would be too much. You don't get something for nothing, so why buy from people wanting to sell you nothing for something?

  15. What's this all over my PSP? on Playboy on Playstation Portable · · Score: 4, Funny

    Mom! Dad was using my PSP, and now there's some kind of sticky goo all over it!

  16. Re:What's worse? on MPAA Under Investigation for Illegal NYPD Payoffs · · Score: 4, Interesting

    No surprise there. Police agencies intentionally reject applicants with high intelligence. Don't believe me? Check this out, or this, or this. A cop who can't spell his own name would not surprise me.

  17. Re:pirated movies/games.... on MPAA Under Investigation for Illegal NYPD Payoffs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yeah! And when the cops let murderers, armed robbers and rapists run amok beacause busting simple copyright infringers pays a kickback, that's cool too. After all, you get free bandwidth! ;b

  18. No surprise on TrekUnited Campaign Ends · · Score: -1, Troll

    No one cares about that star dreck shit anymore. I am not surprised that the save enterprise campaign failed.

  19. Verizon the bloodsuckers on Verizon CEO Calls Municipal Wi-Fi 'a Dumb Idea' · · Score: 3, Interesting

    San Francisco wants to perform a public service, and Verizon is only pissed because they lost an opportunity to grab a buck. These greedy businessmen would charge us for the air we breathe if they could get away with it. They are nothing but bloodsuckers.

  20. Re:That's my Congressman! on Online Freedom of Speech Act Introduced in House · · Score: 1
    Well, the first amendment has never been applied to media not specifically mentioned in it: Speech and the press. That's why newspapers have "freedom of the press" but TV and radio are highly regulated and censored. Legislators and the courts have never considered them "the press." Many recent examples demonstrate that we need to establish that the internet is "the press" to have first amendment protection there. Here are some of those examples:

    Tentative ruling favors Apple in blog case

    Why worry about the money? After all, we like the moon!

    A recent survey reveals that 80% of people who answer surveys are morans, and need to get a brain.

  23. Re:Wiped out by a virulent disease from unsanitary on Keyboards are Havens for Super Bugs · · Score: 1

    I recommend a steam cleaner such as Euro Pro Shark. No gern can suvive being blasted with boiling hos steam. Naturally, the keyboard must be unplugged when you so this, and allowed to dry completely.

    Shouldn't that be, in Soviet Russia, computer hacks you?

  25. Re:Call me a nay-sayer... on Space Elevator Update · · Score: 1
    Science fiction of the '50s is science reality today? Indeed! I have a robot that does all my housework. I go to work every morning in my flying car. I take summer vacations on the moon, and may even visit the Mars colony!

    Space elevator? No one uses that thing any more. It takes too long! We beam up.
