  1. Re:Tech Front Runners on Barenaked USB Drive · · Score: 1

    I'd like to know the parts of Australia that don't have shitty metered bandwidth actually!

  2. Re:Relavent link on Blizzard Sued for Death of Gamer · · Score: 1

    Darwin award gets tougher to win all the time, by the looks of it?

  3. Re:What would be good... on Music Industry Backlash Against Sony Rootkit · · Score: 1

    yeah, well if you have to do only one thing at a time (can you eat and do any of these?)

    I guess I would have several thousand less books read, movies watched, and songs heard, so I think I will not be too worried about my lack of appreciation - I even get time to listen to, read, or watch the good ones more than once then, as well

  4. Re:Starwars VI? on Space.com's Top 10 Space Movies of All Time · · Score: 1

    2 places lower than Space Truckers, perhaps?

  5. Re:What would be good... on Music Industry Backlash Against Sony Rootkit · · Score: 1

    or

    3. It is possible to do more than one thing at a time for a lot of us

    and yes, reading a book and watching a movie is done frequently, harder at a cinema though, in the dark :)

  6. Re:Lawyers and Cows on Music Industry Backlash Against Sony Rootkit · · Score: 1

    Or, more likely, people would have a hell of a lot more cassettes.

  7. Re:They just don't get it. on Music Industry Backlash Against Sony Rootkit · · Score: 1

    Or Warner. I had to take back a copy protected disc that wouldn't work the other day.

  8. Re:What would be good... on Music Industry Backlash Against Sony Rootkit · · Score: 2, Funny

    Of course, lots of people call listening to music and not doing anything else, unless at a gig of course, either one, two, or both of these :-

    1. boring
    2. a waste of time

  9. Re:"takes liberties with the original" on The Prisoner To Be Remade On U.K. TV · · Score: 1

    Wow. Never came across that one!

  10. Re:"takes liberties with the original" on The Prisoner To Be Remade On U.K. TV · · Score: 1

    That is in the first episode of The Professionals though, not The Prisoner, the 'exploding cleavage' scenario. :)

  11. Re:Surprise - Too Little, Too Late on NBC To Offer On-Demand Movies Via P2P · · Score: 1

    Yeah, according to that article, watch for 1 day, seed for 30? Great deal, not.

  12. Re:Arguably the greatest rock guitarists of all ti on Sony, Amazon Detail Rootkit CD Buybacks · · Score: 1

    Greatest is hard, but Satriani and Vai are still good.

    Luckily, no Clapton, all the old stuff doesn't have this problem, so you can play your Edge of Darkness soundtrack in amidst your golf outings to Scotland whenever you want.

  13. Re:As a Sony employee... on Sony May Sell HD-DVDs · · Score: 1

    1. CEO/Board on criminal trial, same as any other cracker that has been caught
    2. Sell real CDs

  14. Re:How to boycott? Website on Bad Day To Be Sony · · Score: 1

    Dickhead Recordings Management

    spelled S-O-N-Y

  15. Re:OSQ on Nestle Patents Coffee Beer · · Score: 1

    Beer with no alcohol? Faux beer? Sounds pretty unconstitutional to me!

  16. Re:A modest proposal on The RIAA's Halloween Tricks · · Score: 1

    Stil, this is Paul MD, didn't we talk about this already?

  17. Re:A modest proposal on The RIAA's Halloween Tricks · · Score: 1

    Well, I certainly wouldn't give L-Meat to my dog! :)

  18. Re:Fight, that's what. on The RIAA's Halloween Tricks · · Score: 1

    You got a torrent of that phone message then? :)

  19. Re:Not so ridiculous... on The RIAA's Halloween Tricks · · Score: 1

    errr.. not quite yet, most people who are 30 or so plus I think remember what records are and what their record players do :) Maybe even some 25 year olds as well!

    Plus the odd gross of DJs in clubs?

  20. Re:People still watch news... on television?!? on 'NBC Nightly News' to Be Shown on Internet · · Score: 1

    Yes, but they couldn't logo-brand your DNA that way.

  21. Re:Hmm..could people be tired of the SLANTED news? on Internet is Killing the Newspaper · · Score: 1

    Me, I'd say, that if I had a cent for every left wing billionaire media baron, I don't think I'd be buying very much. :)

  22. Re:I have a better solution... on Australian Do Not Call Register · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that sort of thing should work. My grandfather was a ship captain, he had a really good whistle from that. The parental teacher types had football umpire type whistles for the inevitable prank phone calls from kids. Should work on dodgy Indians, but probably not computers!

  23. Re:As an Australian I can honestly say on Australian Do Not Call Register · · Score: 1

    Yeah, even I have been noticing it a lot more recently, especially having ADSL now One thing to be said for the old dial up internet, using that a lot meant that telemarketers never used to be a problem! :)

  24. Re:Marineboy on Can iTunes Resurrect Old Time TV? · · Score: 1

    Brave and Free?

    Fighting Evil?

    Not the sort of kid those media companies would like, I think!

  25. Re:Public domain, et al on Can iTunes Resurrect Old Time TV? · · Score: 1

    and the Superboy series, I'd buy that one, even as a download.
