  1. emails on MediaDefender Denies Entrapment Accusations · · Score: 1

    They must have tired of me sending them links to lemonparty.org and tubgirl

  2. RTFA SUBMITTER LIED on RIAA Forces YouTube to Remove Free Guitar Lessons · · Score: 1

    there's nothing about RIAA in that those thing. just a lawyer saying he thinks the RIAA might. way to go /.

  3. covers on RIAA Forces YouTube to Remove Free Guitar Lessons · · Score: 2, Insightful

    what he plays is effectively a cover, as far as i know it's not illegal to play a cover since it's not the same as the orginal anyway?

  4. Re:Turtle Power! on iPhone Researchers Gain a Shell · · Score: 3, Insightful

    research makes it sound like they are breaking new ground somehow. these goes are just reverse engineering something - the information on how iphones work already exists.

  5. apple sues in 5,4,3,2.... on iPhone Researchers Gain a Shell · · Score: 2, Funny

    Take down notice is pending, you watch

  6. Re:Obvious 75 times on Amazon S3 is Patent-Pending · · Score: 1

    does it really take 75 variations on a theme to cover their bases? it's like reading claim #1 a turd #2 turd with corn in it #3 turd with carrot in it......

  7. Re:Web services? on Amazon S3 is Patent-Pending · · Score: 1

    the broad term "web services" is how the plan to block anyone else doing web based backups. pity this has about 10 years of prior art.

  8. Re:Simple combinations on Amazon S3 is Patent-Pending · · Score: 1

    if no one had seen a mouse trap before, then maybe a spring and a board wouldn't be obvious. points like this do not lose their validity just because we keep finding ourselves having to repeat them for the slow among us

  9. Re:only the number on the sign would change on Motorists Sue Over 'Hot' Fuel · · Score: 2, Informative
    "official price displayed on the sign would change to compensate."

    err no it wouldn't, the offical price is per gallon at 60f. the pumps need a sensor to read the current temp and adjust the charge at the pump.

    this what they are kicking about, because they are ripping people off quite a lot in hot area's, and they don't want the gravy train to end.

  10. Re:They are in India. Options pyramid failure Plan on MS Moves R&D To Canada Due To Immigration Problem · · Score: 1
    "A key piece of the M$ success story was their ability to pay workers in stock options"

    oh please many pieces of MS software have wasted hours of my time, but that's just a plain lie. only top exec's get stock options. the fact is, MS is a great employer who pays employee's well and really looks after them.

    only a total retard would think the end is near for MS, on the cash they have in the bank alone they could survive for years.

  11. Re:I call BS on MS Moves R&D To Canada Due To Immigration Problem · · Score: 1

    since when has MS been known for being a low paying employer? everyone i know who's worked there has said it's a great company to work for, and they have above average wages.

  12. Re:I was worried about this on Singles, Not Albums, Define Music Industry Success · · Score: 1

    I like music, not albums or singles. all an album is, is a collection of music, and if there's only 1 song on there worth listening to, why the fuck would i want to pay for all the other "filler". This is why albums are dieing. In times past for a track to make it onto an album it had to be good, now it just has to be filler.

  13. Re:Because mining explosives are different? on Explosives Camp · · Score: 1
    since when do engineers do blasts? they merely give the blast crew a map and ask them to put the shots down.

    unlikely everyone else here it appears, i actually work at a mine site.

    you are correct though, the object of a blast in mining it to break up rock. And yes i think most of the /. crowd would last 1 shift on a blast crew, not because of any danger but because it's actually fucking hard work.

  14. Re:Weed-removing attachments? on Man Finally Makes the Weed-Removing Robot · · Score: 0, Troll

    it's ok as long as it didn't inhale, bush told us so.

  15. Re:Major Suckage on Google Loses Gmail Trademark Case · · Score: 1

    whats makes you say that? america is far more likely to back business.

  16. Re:Legitimate Case? on Google Loses Gmail Trademark Case · · Score: 4, Insightful

    the benifit to society is greater? who gives a fuck? personal property is not society's to control, or are you a dirty commie?

  17. Re:Legitimate Case? on Google Loses Gmail Trademark Case · · Score: 2, Interesting

    why does any super rich company waste their time? ego. the top guys don't like to be told what to do, because once you have all the money you will ever need, there's nothing but ego to fight for.

  18. Re:Not to state the obvious, but . . . on MPAA Sets Up Fake Site to Catch Pirates · · Score: 4, Informative

    only an EULA isn't a contract and no one can make you give up legal rights or protections.

  19. Re:Entrapment or Honeypot? on MPAA Sets Up Fake Site to Catch Pirates · · Score: 2, Insightful

    how the fuck do you know they would have commited it if you didn't give them a nice convenient website with family options?

  20. Re:Entrapment or Honeypot? on MPAA Sets Up Fake Site to Catch Pirates · · Score: 1

    this is definately entrapment, because they hold themselfs out as legit. the act of downloading content itself is not illegal, so how would anyone know this site wasn't legal?

  21. Re:Build your own perpetual motion machine! on Perpetual Energy Machine Getting Lots of Attention · · Score: 1

    only scam artists make comments like " The only analogy I can give is if you had absolute proof that God wasn't real." becasue they need to suck someone in fast to get their money and run, before they proven to be full of shit.

  22. Re:Socialised Healthcare is the future for the US on Massachusetts Makes Health Insurance Mandatory · · Score: 2, Insightful

    i've said it before - capitalism is not applicable to everything, becuase not everything has a price.

  23. Re:You seriously want a list? on Bill Gates Drops To Number 2 · · Score: 1

    have you even used SQL server? its a good product, it shits all over mysql which people so rabidly support here. and it's hardly fair to list different versions of the same software. also, wtf is the difference between windows and microsoft messenger? i'm sure you could have produced a plenty big list of crap stuff MS have put out, but don't think it's ok to bullshit like that.

  24. Re:What this really means on Ubuntu Dell $50 Cheaper Than Vista Dell · · Score: 2, Insightful

    i'd liken it to the first tiny crack in the damn. no water comming out yet, but dell openly selling linux pc's would have been unthinkable even 3 years ago.

  25. Re:"take hold of their dreams and run Linux." on Ubuntu Dell $50 Cheaper Than Vista Dell · · Score: 2, Funny

    hah i know, it's pretty pathetic if your dream is to run linux on a crummy dell laptop.
