  1. Re:If you've nothing to hide... on Facing 16 Years In Prison For Videotaping Police · · Score: 1

    If the motorcyclist "needs to get tickets...for reckless endagerment," then so should the cop. If the motorcyclist was going 80 mph, then the cop was going about 75 mph.

  2. Re:Baloney. How did that get modded up? on RIAA: Ripping CDs to iPod not 'Fair Use' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I have no idea how you got rated a 5 interesting. Music downloaded from iTMS comes in 128kbps AAC. If you burn it onto a CD, it gets upconverted into a CD quality wave, but the information that was lost when it was originally compressed to 128kbps AAC doesn't magically reappear. All you have is a huge, lossy wave file. If you then try to re-rip it to whatever format you want (mp3, ogg, whatever), you're applying lossy compression algorithms to a file that already sounds worse than CD quality. The end product sounds like you're listening to it from a radio that's submerged in a bathtub.

  3. Take the word *democratic* in context.... on Parody or Satire? Threat To Sue JibJab · · Score: 1

    I think the parent of the parent of this post meant democratic as in democracy, not democratic as in democratic party. At least I hope so...
