  1. Re:Japan on Smart Car-to-Car Navigation Network in Japan · · Score: 0

    Yeah, screwed as in not being modded up! =)

  2. Japan on Smart Car-to-Car Navigation Network in Japan · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Japan gets all the new stuff because of the culture, people. Young people's coolness is judged by the level of technology they have, not some stupid shoes. When a girl asks for something, it isn't the latest hat, it is the latest handheld media player.

    People in Japan get the cool stuff because they BUY the cool stuff. However, in the US retailers do not like to take chances. We are conservative in our buying, looking for the greatest value, while the cool factor is what matters in Japan.

    This means, sadly, we nerds get screwed.

  3. podcast on ABC's 'People of the Year' - Bloggers · · Score: 0

    When will podcasters be the people of the year?

    ...but I'm STILL waiting for a game better than Total Annihilation.

  5. Re:Why would you want it to end? on Ken Jennings Gets a New Challenge · · Score: -1, Troll

    However, since he's a Moron, he won't be hiring hookers or doing 99.9% pure coke. Poor guy, he's missing out.

  8. I wonder... on One-Man Lord of The Rings Comes to Chicago · · Score: 0

    Did this guy try really hard or does he have one of those brain defects that causes a person to cache ALL short term memory into long term memory (you never, ever forget anything).

  9. Re:Are the papers the next - on How Craigslist Costs Newspapers Money · · Score: 0

    I have sold many things on craigslist that I would have nver listed in the newspaper. Its just so god damn easy on craigslist theres no reason not to immediatly list anything you don't want anymore.

  10. Like Def jam all over again on How Craigslist Costs Newspapers Money · · Score: 0
    This EXACT same thing happened to Def Jam. They were at the top, but they neglected a new kind of rap: "gangsta rap." This caused them to lose market share and profits. However, they started to sign up gansta rap artists, but the damage has never been undone.

    In these days businesses can not rest, they have to move with the times. In the old days you could have the same business plan for decades, but no longer.

  11. My expiriences on How Craigslist Costs Newspapers Money · · Score: 1, Insightful
    I love craigslist.

    Why? I have gotten tons of stuff off there. With the speed of the internet things remain up to date and communication is way better. While newspapers descriptions are limited to like 30 characters, but with craigslist there is virtually no limit...at all. Pictures, links, huge descriptions, anything you can think of. I have not looked at a newspaper classifed for a long time.

  12. Hoaxy on Alek's Christmas Lights: Humbug · · Score: 1

    Although it hurts to be fooled, you have to commend him for pulling it off.

  13. Disk security (formatted version) on Free Windows Software Without Spyware/Adware · · Score: 0
    Never, ever forget these programs for Windows. They prevent anyone from snooping on your drive, even after you erase something. I run "Eraser" at 7 wipes every 2 weeks and have all my important files in PGP disks. Even the CIA can't crack PGP, they had to install a keylogger just to get his PGP key. Thats REAL security.

  15. Re:SNES9X on First ZSNES Release In ~2.5 Years · · Score: 0

    IRC. Don't EVER bother with the ROM sites. I have spent hours and hours looks through them, non of them work, are full of porn ads, and require you to vote for their shitty site to do anything. With firefox the voting systems dont even work, anyway.

  16. Hassle on Microsoft Class Action Suit Outcome: Indifference · · Score: 0
    You need to jump through all these hoops just to get a lousy 30 bucks...hardly seems worth it.

    Too bad the money goes back to Microsoft. What a flawed system we have, it should go to some charity or something, not into Microsoft's blackhole pockets.

  22. The girl cant complain on Chief of eBay's Indian Site Arrested, Released · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    If you consent to being video-taped while giving a blow job to a guy, you have not right to complain over that tape. I dont care how embarassing it is, you consented, and actions have consequences.

    Since when is distributing porno illegal in India? I was starting to think that place got over being a backwards country. How do they expect business people to go there without getting porn? No, I am serious. I am never moving to India. Ever.

  23. Knee-jerk? on Chief of eBay's Indian Site Arrested, Released · · Score: 0

    Is this a knee-jerk reaction, or someone just out looking for publicity? Could the police really be THAT dumb?
