  1. Re:Outstanding on Longhorn to Require Monitor-Based DRM · · Score: 1

    It's a feature. -- Microsoft PR

  2. Re:So what does this say? on Microsoft's 10-year-old Certified Professional · · Score: 1

    You know Mel!?

  3. Re:get over it... on U.N. To Govern Internet? · · Score: 1

    Just responding in the context of the article, I dislike both options equaly.

  4. Re:Makes sense (not!) on Clinton To Take On Rockstar · · Score: 1

    Self control does not comes from laws, it comes from (good) education, but you are an obvious troll so I leave it at that.

  5. Re:Do they have a patent for this? on Optimus Keyboard With OLED Display Keys · · Score: 1

    I disagree, the idea of putting screens on keys to customize them is obvious. If they solve the engineering problems involved that may warrant patents, but ideas should not be patented.

  6. Re:get over it... on U.N. To Govern Internet? · · Score: 1

    They get explained that th UN only has "control of such governing functions as assigning TLDs and IPs."

  7. Re:Not gone... on The End of a Floppy Era · · Score: 1

    Use 8 cm CDRs. :-D

  8. Re:Not gone... on The End of a Floppy Era · · Score: 1

    For those situations there is CDR.

  9. Re:Opt-Out Now! on The Internet Archive Sued Over Stored Pages · · Score: 1

    We won't know how "human nature" copes with all little lies and details beeing out there until it happens.

  10. Re:Legal precedents ?. on The Internet Archive Sued Over Stored Pages · · Score: 1

    "Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia."

  11. Re:Not gone... on The End of a Floppy Era · · Score: 1

    Floppies are under $20 for 256MB? USB mass storage is quite common these days. It's one thing if you know you'll need floppies, but if you get the drive because you may need it you probably wasted your $10.

  12. Re:Just my opinion on Designing the Look of the 360 · · Score: 2
    And the Revolution is sleek, simple, and forgettable.
    You could almost think that Nintendo wants you to concentrate on the controllers and the games...
  13. "It's a feature!" on Toshiba HD-DVD Player Planned to Enforce HDMI · · Score: 1

    You know they will do that.

  14. Re:Can I play it on Bill Van Buren Talks Half-Life 2 · · Score: 1

    There seem to be quite a lot of us nobodies.

  15. Re:Jerk on JBoss Founder Hard-Nosed About Open Source · · Score: 1

    Infringing on what exactly?

  16. Re:Defeated by contact lenses? on Iris Recognition To Take Off · · Score: 1

    "Difficult" is not enough for security.

  17. Re:Street Dates are Important... on Old-Fashioned DRM Protects Harry Potter Book · · Score: 1

    I have to agree, marketing release dates may make sense for movies because there are only so many of them shown at a given time. Books are something I flip through and generaly take some time before buying.

  18. Re:Same as proprietary on OSS Funding through Fundable · · Score: 1

    Neither the Free Software nor the Open Source movements try to fix the "problem" of selling software. You might want to read up on them.

  19. Re:a crime is still a crime on German Youth Convicted for Sasser Worm · · Score: 1

    When someone has been acting irresponsible, victim or not, blame-games often does little to prevent similar events in the future.

    Ubuntu is VERY new (we have not even had two releases yet) [..]
    Warty and Hoary aren't two releases?
  21. Re:a crime is still a crime on German Youth Convicted for Sasser Worm · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    And I'm getting tired of listening to all that 'i'm not responsible, only he is'. We know it's a crime, that does not take away your responsibility to take care of yourself and your property. Theft is a crime, that does not mean that it's not irresponsible to leave your stuff lying around.

  22. Re:Oh crikey, not another one! on New Ubuntu Foundation Announced · · Score: 1

    Actualy apt-get can work with an RPM backend.

  23. Re:firefox is kinda worthless lately on Don't Click on the Blue E · · Score: 1

    If you want it to just work continue using your abacus.

  24. Re: Open doors on Man Arrested for Using Open Wireless Network · · Score: 1
    The difference with the wifi is that not everyone knows how, and there are likely alot who don't even realize there's a problem with leeching.
    And when they realize there is a problem they just sue instead of RTFM to fix it, go ignorance.
  25. Re:They are called "Frankfurter" over here on City of Vienna Chooses Linux · · Score: 1
    Having your cultural background identified with sausage - not so good
    What about the residents of Frankfurt you insensitive clod?
