  1. so.. on The Economics of Executing Virus Writers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    should we also execute fraudulent managers of big corporations?

  2. Re:car search for illegal music on RIAA Sues Nearly 500 New Swappers · · Score: 1

    hmm.. a case like that would draw large media attention. I did hear about BREIN going to a few garage sales this weekend, because reselling unauthorized copies is illegal.

  3. Re:car search for illegal music on RIAA Sues Nearly 500 New Swappers · · Score: 1

    just wondering... but that's holland, michigan right. the american town, not the european country? owning copied CDs is perfectly legal in the netherlands.

  4. Re:Let's make one thing crystal clear on Age Discrimination, Indian-Style · · Score: 1

    I don't know about the US, but here in the Netherlands, they're VERY different things for both employer and employee.

  5. Re:nevermind static on Can Cell Phones Ignite Gasoline Vapors? · · Score: 1

    no, let's all put'em there at the same time while keeping a respectful distance...

  6. Re:How is this any different... on Google to be Sued Over Name? · · Score: 1

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/11/26/first_inte ger_patented/

    I also remember an article or 2 about this on slashdot.. cant find'em though..

  7. Re:Last year... on Can Cell Phones Ignite Gasoline Vapors? · · Score: 1

    maybe those signs are there because many people find cellphones annoying. good enough reason, people often are obnoxious when using their phone. especially if they're using the phone in a place that specifically prhibits their use. selfish bastards. I go out of my way to go to phone-free places. dont be an arse, turn off your phone.

  8. Re:How is this any different... on Google to be Sued Over Name? · · Score: 1

    in the US, you can even patent a number...

  9. Re:The UK's role in the EU on EU To Counter Echelon With Quantum Cryptography? · · Score: 1

    russia isn't historically allied. the fact that we do protest the actions of the USA is because of being allies. Do you like your friends to make mistakes? if your friend says: I'm going to steal something because the storeowner is a bastard, will you let him, or will you tell him not to? if we perceive a mistake in our friends, we care. so we protest. if it's not a friend, we care a lot less, will protest less, and we'll be less inclined to help them prevent mistakes.

  10. Re:Fah. No one's gonna take... on Linus Not The Father Of Linux, According to Report · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    knit caps? in dutch, it's a jockstrap...

  11. Re:Hell comes in many flavors on Inferno 4 Available for Download · · Score: 1

    ofcourse, Dante also had greek myth to fall back on for ideas...

  12. Re:AIDS in Africa on Anti-HIV Virus Developed · · Score: 1

    since patents on AIDS medicines are held by US companies, who fail to release the hold on those patents even though in patent law a national disaster warrants that a patent is deemed invalid. combined with threats of sanctions to 3rd world countries, this has stopped countries from producing the medicines themselves. the greed of large pharmaceutical companies has cost many lives, and I find it appalling that Bush would even argue in their favour just for cold cash, denying people their needed drugs.

  13. this is news?!? on Flash Mob Gang Warfare · · Score: 1

    hooligans have been doing this kind of thing for years..

  14. Re:Doesn't carbon fibre burn? on Swedish Carbon-Fiber Stealth Ship Runs NT · · Score: 1

    but at a (confirmed) speed of 11 knots when the wind is good, it's a bit slow. also, the sideshields do little to protect the soldiers inside, who will not be covered anyway against enemy fire or natural rain.

  15. Re:Oh come on.... on Star Trek TOS DVD Box Sets Forthcoming · · Score: 1

    here in the netherlands, downloading is legal. we have signed the berne convention. downloading is legally the same as hometaping, which is allowed.

  16. Re:Oh come on.... on Star Trek TOS DVD Box Sets Forthcoming · · Score: 1

    just download it. downloading is still legal in many countries.

  17. Re:Fear the church! on U.S. Gov Agency Blunders With Keyword Blacklist · · Score: 1

    steal her crutches

  18. Re:Banner Blocking Manifesto on New Online Ad Technology To Bypass Popup Blockers · · Score: 1

    > free of charge, we must be allowed to use banner advertising as a means of paying the costs of maintaining this website.

    no, free of charge does not mean I give you permission to force unwanted and useless content into my home. advertising being heard isn't a right. it's a privilege that can and will be revoked if taken too far. and it HAS gone too far.

  19. Re:Lets be honest.. on Andromeda And Mutant X Cancelled · · Score: 2, Funny

    >And MutantX? Seriously, who even watched an entire episode?

    that would be me. I was smoking drugs at the time...

  20. Re:At what price progress? on Synthetic Life In The Lab · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ofcourse people make more mistakes than the divine. people exist.

    >Do you think someone will want to let their corporation use software that's best efforts in creating an aesthetic logo were of a 10 year old kid?

    yes, even a kid can use it.

  22. Re:Burining ethanol is extremely ineffiecient on Ethanol From Waste Straw · · Score: 1

  24. Re:Doesn't get it... on LUG Pres Resigns Over Military Linux Use · · Score: 1

    he has, in my opinion justified, doubts about the pentagon and/or US army's compliance to the GPL. this makes it a licensing question, and definately a question of freedom.

  25. pfft.. on SimChurch · · Score: 1

    what an incredibly stupid idea for a MUD.
