  1. Re:UK has Shazam Already on New Phone Service Promises to ID Songs · · Score: 1

    considering the absolutely stagnant billboard charts , i would say that there is some relationship. given the shear percentage of crap on the radio / clear channel / mtv, it is my (working) opinion that if it isn't being played on the mtv, and someone is buying it (i.e. economical to distribute through normal channels), probability says it's good stuff. so is this how i find music? poking through record stores, and buying on tangents and whim? sure is. does this dictate my musical taste as being superb? no- but it is.

  2. Re:UK has Shazam Already on New Phone Service Promises to ID Songs · · Score: 1

    if it works, this would make a sweet, small party circle game. so here's the break down-
    everyone has 1) a cell 2) access to a good music collection 3) optional liquor/beer
    susie picks the song and bobby calls, if susie's song gets ident (bobby gets charged a dolla), but susie has to pour / buy bobby a drink.
    so susie's not only putting her liqour on the line, but her musical taste as well-

  3. Skipping to the Conclusion on Top 100 Toys From The '70s or Thereabouts · · Score: 1

    For those who want to start from 1-10.

  4. Eek on ASUS Barebones: Multimedia Even Sans Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Did Aiwa buy Shuttle?

  5. Center for Cognitive Liberty and Ethics on Cognitive Enhancement Drugs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Here is a site that has been looking at this issue, among others in similar field for some years now. Among others, freedom of thought and pharmacotherapy (drugs used in therapy that "disable" the brains ability to get high off illicit drugs) are in discussion. http://www.cognitiveliberty.org/

  6. Censorship on Google Suggest · · Score: 1

    Is it no surprise that Google does not help me in finding the more explicative and vulgur sites? Somewhere within me I'm glad for this, but where the kill switch for this blatant ignorance for the will of the people who can't spell "whores".

  7. Re:I wondered what the hell that stuff was... on Hacking Vodka · · Score: 1

    It was probably Popov, a more common well-liquor for bars.

  8. Re:Some calculations... on Hacking Vodka · · Score: 1

    "But does anyone know what the pills are in the bottom left corner of that picture?" Maybe the charcoal antihangover pills he talks about? they're too big to be a common illicit.

  9. No Laptop? on Public Interest Groups Face Uphill Battle at WIPO Meeting · · Score: 1

    Perhaps I am missing a key point (such as the paper was notorized), but no one had a digital copy to print?

  10. Re:Fear of powers on Dept. of Homeland Security Enforces Expired Patent · · Score: 1

    Is there a response from the US governemnt? I would not be surprised if the two "Agents" that walked into this backwater village store were just two teen age pranksters. The rubics cube even sounds suspicious enough to match up with the authority defying hacker persona (http://www.paulgraham.com/gba.html).
