  1. Re:Get your money back. on EULA Confusion w/ Used Copies of WoW? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Additional alternatives if you have the energy: be a pain in the ass. Send letters of complaint to your state's attorney general, dept of consumer affairs and anyone else that might respond. Move on to the Feds, send a letter to the FTC. Be sure and carbon copy the Chief Legal Counsel or CEO of Blizzard. If your local newspaper or TV news has a complaint service, go to them. Sometimes, they just don't want to deal with all of that.

  2. Re:'gain a relative economical advantage'.. on Kyoto Protocol Comes Into Force · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm sorry, but saying that a totalitarian regime like China will follow anyone's example is just silly. The US should either accept or reject the Kyoto protocol based upon its own merits. Not make decisions based upon a fanciful notion that China or India are so full of respect for anything the US does that they will follow along.

  3. Re:Good on U.S. Denies Patent on Part-Human Hybrid · · Score: 0, Troll

    Good indeed. Back to the lab Igor... we may begin our work again....

  4. Even Bigger News on John Smedley On the Future of MMOGs · · Score: 1

    If we could combine this article with the genetic engineering article.... that would be stuff that matters :-)

  5. Re:Negotiating Ploy? on Los Angeles to Consider Open Source Software · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The general acceptance by the world as THE office suite? Most school systems use MS Office for teaching students, so the possible employee base is more likely to be familiar with it than OpenOffice. And no I am not a MS fan, I use Slack for my home desktop. But you have to accept reality, while hoping it changes.

  6. Re:Open Letters, Briefings, etc. on Should Dual Cores Require Dual Licenses? · · Score: 1

    And software companies don't understand why the public isn't more upset by pirates and warez traders.

  7. Negotiating Ploy? on Los Angeles to Consider Open Source Software · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It just sounds like a good way to get M$ to lower their licensing fees.

  8. Re:World Beta on Google Launches Mapping Service · · Score: 1

    It all comes down to money. Google isn't going to go to the expense of providing maps for people in unless someone is willing to pay for ads or in some way to provide revenue to Google for doing so.

  9. Re:Not enforceable and here's why. on DC Could Ban 'Mature' Video Game Sales to Minors · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The real reason it is unenforcable is that the average 12 year old makes mommy buy it at the store for him anyway. She has no clue, "its just a game for heaven's sake."

  10. Re:My PC is damaging my wrist on Could Your Blackberry Be Damaging Your Thumbs? · · Score: 1

    No No No.... doing that does not damage your wrist. It either makes you go blind or grows hair on your palm. I am trying to start a class action suit for all blind hairy palmed slashdotters.

  11. Re:Hmm on Simulating the Universe with a zBox · · Score: 1

    Official Micro$oft Press Release We have hired the SCO legal team to begin enforcing our rights to any and all names with box in it.

  12. Official Microsoft News Release on Microsoft Claims Linux Security a Myth · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has not only learned how insecure Linux is. They have also determined that Windows is the most stable and secure OS on the market today. Their extensive research is indisputable. But can not be released at this time. "Just trust us."

  13. Hold on on Dual Core Intel Processors Sooner Than Expected · · Score: 1

    Let me get this straight..... Intel(or most any other company).... getting something out earlier than expected ... I felt a great disturbance in the force. The earth has stopped moving.

  14. Re:You gotta be kidding me. on U.S. Plans to Tighten Nuclear Power Plant Security · · Score: 1

    It's about time people got another source other than Tom Clancy books for their ideas on destroying the world.

  15. Re:Who needs hubble? on No Money For Hubble Service Mission · · Score: 1

    If your country would like to foot the bill, have at it. Like it or not, when the war was launched nearly 70% of the US citizens supported the war. I guess the US can spend its money as it sees fit. And yes, it does seem at least one of them does already have wmd.

  16. Re:Do it on Brian Hook on the ActiveX Experience · · Score: 4, Funny

    But does it run on Linux ;-)

  17. My week is now ready on Creative Gunning For the iPod · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can start my week without concern now. I have had my death of the ipod (or apple) article so all is right with the world.

  20. Re:Can't Blame Global Warming? on Climate Change Doubles Drought Stricken Area · · Score: 1

    That's the problem. The Earth itself keeps doing little things that should remind us just how insignificant we are. An erupting volcano puts out enough pollution that "green" scientist say it masks all of our human caused global warming. An earthquake causes a tsunami and changes water levels in Virginia.

  21. Re:I hate the term "green power", article full of on Hydrogen Buses In Iceland · · Score: 1

    and with those natural heat sources, it is still going to take a small not overly industrialized country until 2050 to break its dependence. Yet the greens seem to think the United States should stop using oil immediately.

  22. Re:Bad, bad BAD idea. on Smart Guns are Coming · · Score: 1

    Man I'm amazed everyone hasn't moved to your country if it has no crime, no government oppression. Sounds really nirvana like. I read several online European countries so you can't be from there as there is quite a bit of crime in most of those countries..... hmmm. Perhaps Tibet... no the Chinese can come in and kill you at any time...

    /insert tongue in cheeck/ It is also ironic that another UK newspaper, the Guardian, was probably one of the reasons they needed to lock the George Bush section before the election. /remove tongue in cheek/
