  1. Get rid of the real problem on Jail 'Greedy' Scam Victims, Says Nigerian Diplomat · · Score: 1

    Nigeria. President Bush, theres undisclosed wmd there and not to mention lots of sweet oil. Okay thats taken care of. Lol! just kidding...

  2. More research is needed on Fat People Cause Global Warming, Higher Food Prices · · Score: 1

    I suggest we look into the real production of Soylent Green as an alternate food source. I would further suggest that the first two components of a trial batch of SG be Phil Edwards and Ian Roberts. This would assist in the food shortage problem and also getting rid of the greenhouse gases (read methane from crap) these two are responsible for.

  3. Re:Hurray! on Canadian ISP Ordered to Prove Traffic-Shaping is Needed · · Score: 1

    Until they force Bell to stop with the traffic shaping they are no more than a marionette to who ever is pulling their strings making it appear to do what the public wants until its too late and traffic shaping is a permanent fixture in Canada. They are the Government and to my knowledge have never protected anyone but the rights of the ones with the money.

  4. Attention Whore on Jack Thompson's Letter To Take-Two Exec's Mother · · Score: 1

    Frankly this guy simply likes being paid attention to. He finds something that can be seen as controversial and then goes around telling anyone who will listen why its supposedly bad. Most likely this results in paid speaking engagements to those who can't form a simple opinion on their own. For what its worth I believe that the 'video games' don't make a person violent, that they are already that way and when they finally do something people like the above scurry off and try to find any link to their viewpoint just to verify their opinions. Someone should send a letter to Thompsons mother saying what a obvious crackpot he is, quoting physiological text to prove the assuption, and see if he appreciates it. Doubtful.

  5. Re:Tubes on Lawsuit Against RIAA Tries To Stop Them All · · Score: 4, Informative

    What they should do is reinvest the 'funds' and get some acceptable talent going so music would be worth buying again. The crap they try to pawn off as music nowadays...

  6. Who do I get a refund from... on Collective Licensing for Web-Based Music Distribution · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ... if I don't like whats available?

  7. A thought on Home Defense, Geek Style? · · Score: 1

    Not that I'm condoning such behaviour but what if: Needed - - rubber gloves, steal them if possible - box of tacks, also steal them - a roll of duct tape... need I tell you how? - a small file. You know by now - some lye, powdered acid, or alkyline (sp) Put the gloves on first! Take file and sharpen several tacks to razor sharpness. Take a piece of duct tape (the length of the cars door handle) and fold it in half (repeat if its too big to fit unnoticed under the door handle). Push tacks through the tape. Coat tacks and the side of the tape the tacks are sticking out. Carefully place under the door handles. Dispose of everything. When the police come to your house *and tell you of the tape on the handles causing injury to the criminal* deny any involvement claiming the tape was placed on the outside of the car that anyone can access. Laugh at the thought this 'person' had some burning sensation and in rare cases might even have lost feeling in their fingers or better yet need to get some or all of their fingers amputated. Again I wouldn't suggest this as there are TO many varibles that could make this go wrong >:)

  8. Re:LOL Thank you Candada! on Canadians [Will] Pay Levy on MP3 Players - Updated · · Score: 1

    A few comments: "I don't see exactly how you feel bullied, if you ask someone to represent you and vote laws for you." How about when the person you asked to represent you fails to get in and the person with opposite beliefs gets in and you are *FORCED* to accept what this person implements. "The levy they plan on taking is voted by us to compensate for any lost the artists might get from us copying their songs instead of buying their albums." I did not vote on anything for a bunch of no talent whiners. If their 'music' is worth the materials its distributed on then, AND ONLY THEN, will I pay for it.

  9. Whats so funny about this... on SCO Fires back, Subpoenas Stallman, Torvalds et al · · Score: 1

    ... is Richard Stallman always wanted credit for having worked on early linux\gnu project and now he got it in the form of a subpoena.

  10. Re:Your kidding, right? on Joss Whedon's Firefly Coming To The Big Screen · · Score: 1
    >... and wrote that 13 year old girl drivel known as Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

    Seasons 1-6 of BTVS we good. Season 7* he butchered big time. As for Firefly. I saw it
    once and didn't care for it.

    * - For those who don't know, Whedon cast the captain of the Firefly ship as BTVS
    Season 7 "Great evil's" lackey (a psychotic misgynoist preacher).

  11. RIAA Price Cuts on RIAA Sales Compared to Download Statistics · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They can drop the price to near give away but if the talent and quality of the artist\cd isn't there its still not worth the price. Case in point Metallica's St. Anger CD.

  12. Messenger Forced Upgrade and Restrictions on MSN Messenger Access To Be Restricted · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Simple solution. Uninstall it. Theres a few other IM services out there. But before you do, click on any or all of the banner ads in your version of Msgr and goto the advertisers webpage and email them saying that if they support Microsoft and its heavy handed tactics you can't very well support them. If enough people do it maybe something will happen.

    And then I'll pull the winning lotto ticket outta my backside...

  13. Re:150 TRILLION in damages? Guiness Record? on Record Labels Sue Napster's VC · · Score: 1

    This is the #1 reason NOT to buy music cds anymore. Put them out of business. Yeah I know thats wishful thinking but just think... >and I thought that woman suing McDonalds was funny... Is that the one that sued for the hot coffee or the one that was/is suing because she is fat and eats at McD's?

  14. Re:AOL Sucks on AOL Bans Mail From DSL-Hosted Servers · · Score: 1

    All I have to say on the matter is why stop at e-mail.

  15. Microsoft latest 'claim' on Microsoft: We Make Hackers Obsolete · · Score: 2, Funny

    As far as I'm concerned the name Microsoft means
    'Hackers find another security hole, its so easy'.

    Yet another security patch for 98... good thing it's end of life is June '03. Then I won't have to worry about anymore patches.
