  1. Re:MS on Microsoft Admonished by U.S. District Court Judge · · Score: 1

    Apple has control over the hardware. They can cater the operating system to the hardware.

  2. Re:Indeed on ABC Wants DVR Fast Forwarding Disabled · · Score: 1

    The one thing they cannot control is you unplugging the television. Pull the plug and the situation is rectified.

  3. Re:However.... on Want Security? Make The Switch · · Score: 1

    That was my thought. This ties into the security through obscurity method. There is a flaw in this theory. As more users switch, the bigger of a target for hackers.

  4. Re:Wait.. on Google Firefox Toolbar Out Of Beta · · Score: 1

    Yes, it does.

  5. Re:Uh, my DVD player is NOT connecting to the 'net on Blu-Ray To Punish Users for Modifying Hardware · · Score: 1

    This is almost a repeat of Divx. It flopped and so will this connect the dvd player to the net requirement.

  6. Re:Enough!! on Plugin Lets Users Turn IE into Firefox · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily..... Why would you want something that looks like something instead of just using the real thing? I do not have a poor impression of Linux and I am a system administrator. Why would you want to use an insecure browser and dress it up like FireFox, when you can use a more secure browser that happens to be FireFox?

  7. Re:Enough!! on Plugin Lets Users Turn IE into Firefox · · Score: 1

    Which would you rather have when they cost the same? A Ferarri or a car that looks like a Ferarri. You would choose the Ferarri. That is why you should just use FireFox.

  8. Re:AMD has a score to settle on Intel/AMD Battle Rages On · · Score: 2, Informative

    "(When's the last time you saw an AMD ad on TV, hmm?)" The Tour De France

  9. Re:Can't scan rar?? on New Virus Attacks Via RAR Files · · Score: 1

    Mcafee scans rar files as well. Imagine that I wonder what antivirus programs the author used.

  10. Re:A rant... on Blockbuster Sued Over Late Fees Claim · · Score: 1

    You better not buy any dvd's then.

  11. Re:Windows needs a rewrite on Security Vulnerabilities Discovered in WinXP SP2 · · Score: 1

    There is no need for name calling.

  12. Re:Windows needs a rewrite on Security Vulnerabilities Discovered in WinXP SP2 · · Score: 1

    There is no need for name calling. A simple I disagree would be sufficient.

  13. Re:Windows needs a rewrite on Security Vulnerabilities Discovered in WinXP SP2 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The only reason that linux and apple do not have as many security holes is because they are obscure operating systems.

  14. Re:Euphemisms on RIAA Sues More Music Lovers · · Score: 1

    The riaa broke the law as well. Shouldn't we go after them?

  15. Re:Try this on MPAA Prevails Against 321 Studios' DVD X Copy · · Score: 1

    Dvd shrink is not shareware, it is freeware. You should do a little more research, before making a idiotic statement like that.

  16. Re:Interesting line ... on DRM From the Viewpoint of the Electronic Industry · · Score: 1

    By overcharging, the RIAA has stolen from the customer.

  17. Re:A study?!? on Suing Your Customers: Winning Business Strategy? · · Score: 1

    I bought cd's like they were going out of style for years, so I was a customer. Then I became enlightened that you could make your own cd's fot practically no cost at all. I do not need to spend 15-20 dollars anymore because it is not necessary.

  18. Re:I have never had XP crach on me on Gates Provides Windows Crash Statistic · · Score: 1

    You should wait until your xp computer freezes. You have to do a hard boot to get it running again.

  19. Re:"illegal" != "wrong" on Legal Issues Don't Bother American Downloaders · · Score: 1

    Yes but there are alot of musicians that do not make any money. They do it because they love music. These days, you have to be a pretty little doll like britney spears, and show off your figure to make money. That is not my idea of music.

  20. Re:Most know it is wrong on Legal Issues Don't Bother American Downloaders · · Score: 1

    Common Law is isomething that is implied. This was never implied. It was a law. You should review the home audio recording act.

  21. Re:Infomation on Legal Issues Don't Bother American Downloaders · · Score: 1

    The musicians make music because they want to. The love music. It is not a service.

  22. Re:"illegal" != "wrong" on Legal Issues Don't Bother American Downloaders · · Score: 1

    Musicians make music because they love music. They do not do it for money. I used to be a musician so I know. I do not know where you get this services idea from, but it is kinda off-base.

  23. Re:They don't want the content to be purchased on Legal Issues Don't Bother American Downloaders · · Score: 1

    I agree. Why would we need five or six copies of something we already own, just because it is in another format? I have never understood this.

  24. Re:Why? on Legal Issues Don't Bother American Downloaders · · Score: 1

    I believe the home audio recording act came out in 1992 which states you can make a copy of something you bought and give it to your friend. The only difference is that p2p in on a bigger scale, with more people but it is the same concept.

  25. Re:Services on Legal Issues Don't Bother American Downloaders · · Score: 1

    Yes, but there is a difference between a song and having my car fixed.
