  1. Re:With the death of Jhonn Balance... on Trent Reznor Challenges Music Norms · · Score: 2, Informative

    To be fair, Balance didn't contribute to Things Falling Apart. Additionally, Trent said in one of the Q&A's (Access) that he wasn't planning to do a remix album this time around. I hope he changes his mind.

  2. Re:I got carded to buy Manhunt... on Photo ID Required To Buy/Rent Games In Canada · · Score: 1
    I have a hard time seeing what the problem is to demand age verification before selling this M rated game to folks - it is truly an adults-only game
    Thanks for telling me and the rest of the world what qualifies as being "adults-only," I'm sure we'll all do better with this matter-of-fact law guiding us towards wisdom and peaceful unity.

    There doesn't even need to be a step three.

    Sorry, you're crazy. Peter is still alive and kickin'.

  5. Re:NO MONEY FOR MUSIC on The Downward Spiral of Music Retailing · · Score: 1
    Recorded music is a waste of time.
    It's the performance that counts--much more so than the message or the sound itself. The enjoyment comes from watching musicians do their stuff in front of a crowd--be it 10 or 10,000--with the chance of disaster.
    That's where the talent is. That's where the fun is. And not incidentally, that's where the artist makes money.

    Many would disagree with you. While you may find the enjoyment is in the live performance that is you, and not everybody. Seeing how there are a hell of a lot of people that spend a fortune on creating large libraries of albums they cherish, recorded music is obviously not a waste of time.

    I, personally, find the writing and creativity in the sound to be the most important part of music. The thought and passion in the sound, the thinking involved in the art, is where the primary enjoyment is for me, and not in the live performance of that music. While I do find live performances to be extremely enjoyable, they are not the highlight for me.

    You may not find the composition to be the most important part of music, but don't say that recorded music is a waste of time, and don't say that the performance counts the most as a fact. The fact is that a quite significant amount of people enjoys music in other forms than just live performance and they don't see it as a waste of time.

    Link?

  7. Re:Ummm.... on Pentagon Wants IPv6 by 2008 · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's when we're all dead and the machines have taking over, so there's no reason for us to worry about it.

  8. Malfunction? on New Jersey Enacts 'Smart Gun' Law · · Score: 1
    I'm wondering what would happen if it malfunctioned during the worst possible time.

    Say the owner of a gun has a crook in his home at night. The criminal has his own gun, and is prepared to use it. The owner takes out his gun and they have a showdown. What happens if the owner's gun doesn't fire because the "smart-gun" technology malfunctions and doesn't recognize his hand? Of course, the same could happen for the criminal...

    West Virginia doesn't count.

    Week? Try day.

  11. Re:Could someone please confirm... on Spam King Lives Large off Others' E-Mail Troubles · · Score: 1

    I feel so sorry for the poor bastard at that address if it is wrong.

  12. Re:Keep all the eye candy, thank you. on "Longhorn" Alpha Preview · · Score: 1
    Actually, I have a very clean desktop under XP. I turn off all desktop icons and have auto-hide for my taskbar, using only the shortcuts in my quicklaunch.

    It's very clean and nice looking, and great for enjoying good wallpaper art.

    It was a joke.

    Sorry, it was bad.

    Hey, it's on their site.

    He just posted the link to their printer-friendly version which Anandtech hosts themselves.

  15. Re:Linux watch on Real PDA Wristwatch · · Score: 1

    This has to be the most offtopic post ever. You go from PDA wristwatches to Dragonball Z. What the hell's wrong with you?

  16. Re:Obligitory "think of the children" link on Senate Approves Censored .kids.us Domain · · Score: 1
    From the site:
    Who are we?

    We are concerned parents, many of whom have children of our own

    I died right there.
  17. FBI game on FBI Bugging Public Libraries · · Score: 1

    I think I'll go check out a bunch of books on explosives and nuclear weapons for a month just to fuck with them.

    These mice were limited, after all!

    Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans, to be exact.

  20. Re:Nice, but... on Animatrix Trailer · · Score: 1

    There seems to be a problem with that link, for I can not reach it. Did you accidentally post a bad link or did the server get slashdotted?

  21. Re:Anime, hrm. on Animatrix Trailer · · Score: 1

    Actually, if you visit the site (whatisthematrix.com) and put your cursor over the second box on the "mainframe" menu, it'll say "anime." The link takes you to the Animatrix part of the site. Thus, they do imply that the move is the Anime Matrix, not the Animation Matrix.

  22. Re:won't work on Are Video Phones Back From The Dead? · · Score: 1
    what if these are hackable - and you could, in the future, hack a video phone to provide you a video feed without the other end even knowing its on.

    What if this was a FEATURE - you know, to thwart the terrorists - and the feds could take a peek into your home anytime they just wanted to check up on *not you*!! but the terrorists oh, and maybe the children

    There's a simple fix. It's called a black sheet.
