  1. Re:Is there any spyware in Skype? on Kazaa-lite Shut Down · · Score: 1

    Sharman also operates P2P telephony-IM project called Skype I'm just wondering if there is any spyware in it and if so, is anybody going to create something like Skype Lite L++? No, that isn't true. Sharman does not operate Skype, Skyper Limited operates Skype. The same creators of Skype created KaZaA before they sold it to Sharman.

  2. Re:What's next? on AT&T Sues PayPal and eBay for Patent Infringement · · Score: 1

    I am seeing a situation where ATT would require licensing for every credit-card accepter on the Internet.

    ATT has a patent on e-Seeing Situations.

  3. Re:URU Beta Test on Myst Online Trailer · · Score: 1

    It's in late enough beta for a trailer, they should have worked out the really big and obvious glitches right now. It's not in good shape.

  4. Re:URU Beta Test on Myst Online Trailer · · Score: 1

    Note that I didn't actually say that I was in the beta test. Implications aren't covered by NDAs. Well, I'm actually a minor, so contracts are not enforcable. But I am being nice to Ubi Soft, not saying anything else about it.

  5. URU Beta Test on Myst Online Trailer · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well, there is a non-disclosure agreement. I can't say anything about it other than I am very disappointed. It's glitchy and not at all Myst-like.

  6. It's not $10 billion per person... on Microsoft Considers $10 Billion Dividend · · Score: 2, Informative

    ...it's a dollar a share. It's a lot of money for Gates because he owns billions of Microsoft shares. But for your average Microsoft stockholder it's only a fraction of a fraction as much. Nobody's "buying off" anyone. Dividends happen not infrequently, and as it happens Microsoft had a lot of excess cash to divide.

  7. Yeah, all that math is great... on Real Launches Music Download Service · · Score: 1

    ...but none of these services can beat zero; I still don't see how Apple and Real are going to stop people from just using file-sharing software instead. Maybe this is just one of those things that doesn't make sense, like people who buy Windows instead of downloading Linux. Or maybe there are just more law-abiding citizens out there than I thought. :P

  8. Re:Innovation, huh? on Game Originality: Any Left? · · Score: 1

    I think that was misunderstood, since it was moderated as flamebait. I meant that GameCube has a lot of innovative games like Animal Crossing, Cubivore, Pikmin, etc etc.

  9. Innovation, huh? on Game Originality: Any Left? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    That's why I own a Gamecube.

  10. They edited it! on Interview with Student Sued by RIAA · · Score: 5, Funny
    They edited the transcript, it was really like this.

    REPORTER: Hey, Jesse, why do you think the government came after you?
    JESSE: Well, actually it was the recording industry association.
    REPORTER: Yeah, that's what I said. The government.

    :P
