    1) Dual boot OS X and Windows
    2) ???
    3) Failure!

  3. Re:Things worse than death on Radiation Not As Hazardous As Once Believed · · Score: 1

    No, it's true. 800 died from the radiation, and the rest died from normal everyday cancer. It's hard to blame that on the A-Bomb.

  4. Re:What he said: on Warner Music CEO Says War With Consumers Was Wrong · · Score: 1

    What about non-pirate non-customers? The amish don't listen to recorded music.

    How do I find who to write to in congress about what my representative is doing on this matter?
    Unless you can afford to outbid the MPAA, you probably don't have a representative in this matter.
  7. Re:The United States is throughly corrupt. on Bill Would Tie Financial Aid To Anti-Piracy Plans · · Score: 1

    Why did you use a footnote for a preface? That does not make sense.

  8. Re:Otoh on NASA Knows How To Party · · Score: 1

    Don't be so sure about that. I have a hard time believing that they are spending 1.3 million on champagne and caviar alone.

  9. Re:what's the world coming to? on Take Two Settles Hot Coffee Suit For Millions · · Score: 1

    This lawsuit is for all of the parents who bought the game for their young children thinking that there wasn't any obscene content. Imagine their horror when they learned that there was unlockable sex in it!

  12. Re:website was melted down on Name-Your-Cost Radiohead Album Pirated More Than Purchased · · Score: 1

    If it was unavailable when you tried to download it, consider yourself lucky. The site had a horrific mess of a user interface buried in a pile of javascript. And even when it did work, it was painful to look at. Perhaps if they had hired a qualified web developer and web designer, less people would have resorted to pirating the album.

  13. Re:brazil is insane on Cisco Offices Raided, Execs Arrested In Brazil · · Score: 1

    lawyers fees. they have to protect their $24 worth of songs somehow...
  17. Re:So what? on Juror From RIAA Trial Speaks · · Score: 0

    the jury decided to turn her life upside down and bankrupt her over an MP3 collection...
    24 songs is hardly a "collection".

    This makes the ipod the second deadliest item to carry around in your pants.
