    Maybe you haven't been told that Google Desktop hooks into your TCP/IP stack?

    After installing Google Desktop, every net transaction has a bit of google in it.

    A nice site 'bout it

    If you're the inventory of life, that would make you God. Being God, you are hereby under arrest for billions of deaths throughout history. And the platypus.

    It smells like... permission to use these posts as they wish.
  6. Re:Company name in dictionnary? on Tech Buzzwords Added to Dictionaries · · Score: 1

    Company... yes... software product... yes... excessive use of ellipses... yes...

    Lots of people photoshop things when they edit them, regardless of if they are using adobe products.

    Also, if you read the article *gasp* you'll see the title: "Google joins Xerox as a verb."

    Umm... you mean SOE, don't you?
  9. Re:PSone PStwo ? on Game Console Energy Usage Comparison · · Score: 1

    I think we're forgetting, here, that you are asking about subsets of the product lines. It's like saying "they included a DS, where's the DS Lite?"

    They went for the main items in the product lines. It's not unheard of to exclude subsets from a sample group, to limit confusion.

    Next you'll be asking why they didn't individually check every various color.

  12. Re:Not too say democracy is a bad thing... on UK's Journalists Calling For Yahoo! Boycott · · Score: 1

    Since when does a profit motive exempt anyone, corporation or human, from morality? Would you say that there is no moral problem with what hit men do for a living?
     
    Umm, I'd like to introduce you to a couple of people... This one works for the RIAA, and this one works for the MPAA.
     
    They are here to take your first born, your left arm, and your computer. Three months from now they will file suit against you for downloading mp3's on the computer you no longer have.

  13. Re:ehh? on Games Seized Following Murder · · Score: 1

    "Nobody bathes unless they are dirty or a videogamer. etc"

    But doesn't that rule us out as the great unwashed masses?

  14. I just want to know... on U.S. Government Demands ISP Data Retention · · Score: 1

    Exactly when did we go from innocent until proven guilty, to guilty with the chance of some light innocence in the afternoon.

    Our government is treating us like everyone is a criminal.

    The argument "but if you have nothing to hide" is a joke. I shouldn't be treated the same as the terrorists.

  15. In search of the almighty $ on MS to Launch Paid Security Subscription Service · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I gotta commend Microsoft, planning to make money of things that should be integrated into the system so that the threats never happen in the first place.

    Prevention is less profitable than response, thus, they'll never try making a secure system now.

  16. Re:Financially Advantageous Slashdotting on Playing God in Second Life · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but as of tomorrow, there is no bonus on Dwell in Second Life.

    They've been phasing it out this month. On the 15th they reduced dwell by one half, and today is the final day.

    They are doing this in order to try to stabalize the Linden (game money) to USD exchange rate.

    When I joined, the rate was roughly 260L$ / $1 USD, now it's about 330/1

    Nah, Canada prefers to sit around and watch what america does wrong, then have part of itself try to split off again, because they are bored.

    Seriously, those little admendment thingies that orbit the constitution have gone up in smoke, the smoke of the consitution itself after it was rolled up.

    I wonder if this can be used to begin coding the AI used in Tachikoma

  20. Of course... on More Details on The Warcraft Movie · · Score: 2, Informative

    The movie, we hope, will be more meaningful than 2 hours of blood elf dancing.

    Or, of course, at least more meaningful than the Mario Bros. Movie. (if you notice your friend attempting to watch this film, please insert baseball bat into the front of the screen, as this is the only way to protect them)

  21. Re:He's smarter than you think. on Jack Thompson Sues Florida Bar · · Score: 1

    Welcome to the magical world of the injunction.

    If he was debarred, he'd file for an injunction ot stop it, as he's in a case with them and it would 'seem' like it was a move to make it harder for him to operate.

  22. He's smarter than you think. on Jack Thompson Sues Florida Bar · · Score: 1

    This isn't about frivilous complains, or about the money (only 1 million, when is the last time a lawyer only wanted 1?)

    This is 2 things.

    1: He sues the bar, and can subpeona the names of the complaint filers.

    2: He can't be debarred until the case is over, and he can strech it out a while.
