  1. Re:I disagree. on The End of the Bar Code · · Score: 1

    Actually, the quote is:

    If it wasn't for my horse, I never would of spent that year in college...

    Love Lewis Black, he tells it like it really is.

  2. Re:The government should keep it's hands off. on Congress Ponders Opening up iTunes DRM · · Score: 1

    Here's an easier and should be more logical way to make the conversion, without even burning a CD. 'burn' the cd to an image file, then open the image in Daemon Tools, etc and rip it back simple enough... painless even.

  3. Re:Removed MP3 as well? on SuSE Linux 9.3 Professional Review at Mad Penguin · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A hassle? It took me less then 5 minutes to google for the correct packages, download them all and install them, to restore mp3/divx/etc. It's removed because of licensing restrictions. It's not their fault, blame the damn patent Nazi's out there. The files all exist to correct this 'feature' on servers out of the country and outside US jurisdiction. Sure, I'm a Linux user, but I'm no guru at it. I'm still learning the higher level stuff. Windows, I do in my sleep. Besides, like Windows, if you're looking for help as a new user, you ask a friend or post to a message board and they're quite happy to help. It's rare to have any issue not resolved inside of a half hour if you really try.

  4. Re:Sign up now for "How to kill your product 101" on TiVo Starts Testing "Pop-up" Ads · · Score: 1

    I do this as well. If I'm bombarded with your product, you can be sure I won't buy it and tell friends/collegues not to as well. If I want information on your product, I'll surf the web for it.

    It's like cable, at least out here in Arkansas is really pissing me off. At least once an hour and as often as once every frigging commercial break is these lame series of ads about how pirating cable is bad, you're starving the workers, etc... Advertising like this just makes me WANT to pirate in defense for dealing with the crap you shove at me.

    Right now, I'm a work at home dad, so I unfortunately watch more TV then I mean to... and I can almost guarrentee the commercial layout by the hour.

  5. Re:original? on Battlestar Galactica Season 2 This Summer · · Score: 1

    **Spolier** Nope ;) but good guess. He's just a horn dog that is being manipulated. And wait till you see the final episode, Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part 2 :)

  6. Re:The end of Netflix is upon us on Trouble for Tivo and NetFlix Partnership? · · Score: 1

    League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, my guess.

  7. Re:better ways to back up your 116k file on The Death of the Floppy Disk · · Score: 1

    I'm feeling generous. If you seriously want a g-mail invite, email me privately and I'll set you up. I've got 5 of them just sitting there, already handed out one to all my friends.

  8. Re:Traven Tape on Top 10 Ways To Lose Your Data · · Score: 1

    Not that obscure ;)

    The Warriors

    or... Badgers, we don't need no stinkin' badgers!

    U.H.F. :)
