  1. XM Withdrawal... on Satellite Radio Systems Compared · · Score: 1

    I have been a very happy XM subscriber since DEC 2001, and everything was great until three months ago when my receiver decided to crap out. Stupid Best Buy service, it takes forever to get anything back, still has it (2+ months) and doesn't know when it will be fixed. The only thing keeping me sane is the fact that I rigged my ipod up to work in my car.

  2. Re:Call Up. on Jail Time for Movie Swappers · · Score: 1

    I was just saying it seems kind of funny that members of congress can vote to enrich themselves, like when they vote themsleves a raise for a previous term of congress, that they happened to be in. Voting for your interest is one thing, but creating a new law for you own benefit seems wrong.

  3. Re:Call Up. on Jail Time for Movie Swappers · · Score: 1

    Orrin Hatch writes commercial jingles in his free time, so he has a vested interest in copyright protection. Which seems kind of like a conflict of interest to me.

  4. All I can Say is... on Killing Cancer With a Virus · · Score: 1

    Smoke 'em if you got 'em
    cause now there's a cure

  5. Re:the answer on States Fight Internet Tax Ban, Cite VoIP Concern · · Score: 1

    Why bother taxing companies in the first place. They just pass their taxes on to the consumer by incorporating the tax in their prices. A company is not going to lower profits because their taxes are increased. They will just raise prices.

  6. Re:Ugh. on U.S. Court Blocks Anti-Telemarketing List · · Score: 1

    Ok, abortion was a bad choice, but my main point was attacking judicial rulings on popularity isn't a good idea.

  7. Re:Ugh. on U.S. Court Blocks Anti-Telemarketing List · · Score: 1

    50 million people think abortion is wrong. You'd think that judges would go ahead and ban that too as being popular. Oh wait that is a totally specious argument, and while I think the ruling was totally off base, saying that a judge should rule some way just because 50 million people think its a good idea is just silly. Attack the ruling on its first amendment issues and not popularity.

  8. Re:Wearing it out? on Cubism For CG And Movies · · Score: 1

    You should see The Cube. The whole thing was filmed with two set peices. One full cube and one cube with 1 or 2 missing sides. Plus the movie has a good plot too.

  9. Re:Really? on The End of Physical Media · · Score: 1

    That doesn't disagree with what I said. The parent claimed 60% of the US is working poor. I disagree with that. Furthermore if your not working how can you be working poor? I also didn't see anything about working poor numbers on the CIA world fact book. If you are talking about 11.3% (Bureau of Labor) under the poverty line vs. 12.7 (CIA) that is fairly insignificant.

  10. Re:Really? on The End of Physical Media · · Score: 1

    Where the hell did you get 60% working poor? accorrding to 2000 stats Bureau of Labor there are only 6.4 million working poor. However I do agree about letting the **AA Try to sue everyone. Bring it on.

  11. 11 parts? on On Videogame Journalism · · Score: 1, Troll

    If the writing is anything like the first few paragraphs then no thanks. Look at me I write about video games and use big words, but I should really be writing about music because that's my true love. But I'm an asshat who can't write well about it so I'll just write about video games instead. I'm so important I have something to say blah blah blah

  12. Just Like the RIAA on SCO Wants $699 for Linux Systems · · Score: 1

    What are they going to do take a page from the RIAA's playbook and sue every single individual user for non-compliance? Good look. I hope they have a lot more legal resources than the RIAA. Not to mention the fact that they don't have handy IP address to catch people with.

  13. Re:No mention of Tyndale? on In The Beginning & The Keys of Egypt · · Score: 1
    Hello?!

    what about this sentence:

    McGrath tells us how the translation was accomplished organizationally before examining some of the nuances of the translation itself. Some of the language in the King James was archaic even when it was published; translators had been instructed to lift from previous translations all the way back to the partial translation of William Tynsdale published 90 years earlier, and this at a time when the English language was going through the huge changes of the Elizabethan era.

  14. Nebraska doesn't suck on Top 500 Supercomputers Ranked · · Score: 1

    # 200 Prairiefire AMD 1.8 GHz - Myrinet/ 256 University of Nebraska UNL doesn't suck, WOOT!

  15. Shortsighted on Piracy Deterrence and Education Act Introduced · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Man, am I beginning to be annoyed, by all of the technically illiterate congress members, whose shortsightedness knows no bounds. I bet they scream bloody murder the day one their computer goes down, because a campaign volunteer downloaded an mp3.

  16. Patents Abuse on How to Become a Patent Millionaire · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This just chaps my hide. Why do people have to be such fuckwads. If you have a idea that you want to market then by all means patent it, but to patent it and have someone else all the legwork is just not cool.
