  1. Doom 3 should be open source w/ tips on No Doom 3 This Year? · · Score: 1

    That will make a lot of money.

  2. property versus ideas on MPAA to Launch Anti-Piracy Commercials · · Score: 1

    When you find gold, and somebody takes it, you don't have it. When you find an idea, and somebody copies you, you still have the idea.

  3. hope for nuclear war there on IBM Moving Developer Jobs Overseas · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I think bangladore is what you want hit. Well, don't vote for leaders who want to intervene...you want maximum casualties in India. Dead people don't code.

  4. create versus find on MPAA to Launch Anti-Piracy Commercials · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    There, you expose your idiocy. All ideas are found, nobody can ever create ideas. Since two ideas can be found independently, how can they be created? Moron.

  5. How about abolishing copyright/patents/trademarks? on MPAA to Launch Anti-Piracy Commercials · · Score: 1

    It is the intellectual property laws that are truly unnatural and immoral. I remain one of the very few who propose this on slashdot.

  6. flac on Dutch Experimental IPv6 MP3 Stream Relay · · Score: 1

    FLAC is patent-free just like ogg, but it is lossless compression. How about I use a lossy compression on your OS, hmm???

  7. MP3--yuck! on Dutch Experimental IPv6 MP3 Stream Relay · · Score: 1, Interesting

    A patent-encumbered lossy audio compression scheme. I cringe every time I hear it. Why couldn't it be flac streaming?

  8. even crappy arguments exist outside of time on Prior Art to Pinpoint vs. Amazon, from 1980's? · · Score: 1

    Such as yours. Or I suppose you claim to have "created" it?

  9. academia??? on Nationwide Class Action Filed Against DoubleClick · · Score: 1

    That's kind of a stretch. Well maybe they harp against advertising to prove their own "intelligence". Yes, you aren't affected by ads, you're smart, now shut up and move along.

  10. How can there be authorship? on Overture To A Patent War? · · Score: 1

    When ideas exist outside of time? Nobody authors or create any idea. They only discover it.

  11. Do you really want all IP gone? on Overture To A Patent War? · · Score: 1

    As in trademarks, copyright, and patents? If not, then you'll be the one lynched as well. The compromisers and half-assers are just as bad.

  12. uh, no. on Prior Art to Pinpoint vs. Amazon, from 1980's? · · Score: 1

    The parent of your post is I think being rediculous, but this is an example of how science never "proves" laws. You cannot scientifically say that an object with mass will never move at the speed of light (expressed in hexadecimal of course), all you can say is that you have never observed it to happen yet.

  13. Ok, give them a list of words. on Prior Art to Pinpoint vs. Amazon, from 1980's? · · Score: 1

    Randomly generate every sentence that could be a patent summary. If someone happens upon one, then there's prior art!

  14. Even here few want to do away with patents... on Prior Art to Pinpoint vs. Amazon, from 1980's? · · Score: 1

    You act as if you're on the losing side.

  15. unrelated tangent on Prior Art to Pinpoint vs. Amazon, from 1980's? · · Score: 1

    Well you can prove a negative, like, I did not see a purple monkey fly at me in the last second. But here it is nearly impossible to actually determine everything that is expressed or even thought to determine if you are "original".

  16. One should have to prove "no prior art"! on Prior Art to Pinpoint vs. Amazon, from 1980's? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    This is the philisophical argument against "intellectual property". How can one say that nobody has written that exact same song, book, whatever? Have you checked everything that has ever been expressed since the beginning of time? The only logical thing to conclude is that nobody ever creates ideas. Ideas exist outside of time, so there is always "prior art".

  17. ah you know not of gun nut geek wing? on Build Your Own Gauss Pistol · · Score: 1

    The libertarian kind toting automatic weapons? Talk about an open source, on the targets body!

  18. sonic boom... on Build Your Own Gauss Pistol · · Score: 2, Informative

    It'd have to be subsonic, and if it was, it'd be no different than a silencer today.

  19. Weapons are the heart of other freedom! on Build Your Own Gauss Pistol · · Score: 2, Funny

    We need to embrace weapon technology. For what is keeping these illogical "intellectual property" laws in place? Their weapons. All technology is cool, but weapon technology is cooler right now.

  20. cynicism is not insightful on DirecTV Sues Anyone Who Bought Smartcard Reader? · · Score: 1

    Especially on /. . I'm guessing someone came up with a "cynic AI" and is just spamming the same crap over and over, with words and situations changed.

  21. What's wrong with McD's? on Matrix Reloaded on DVD Before Revolutions · · Score: 1

    They finally abandoned marketing prices and charge a whole dollar for the value menu. Nice.

  22. how about licenses that tie in donation info? on Funding Open Source? · · Score: 1

    That is, information about where to donate must be included with the package, and anything derived from the package.

  23. What's with /. pessemism? on Funding for TIA All But Dead · · Score: 1

    A few DMCA bills proposed in Europe, and everyone thinks they'll all pass. This gets killed and everyone thinks it'll still go through. Look, logic will win. There will be no IP in the future--and there's nothing you can do to stop that!

  24. slavery may seem trivial compared to IP... on Gaming Site Reviews.. Real Life? · · Score: 1

    ...but it is related!

  25. uh... on Gaming Site Reviews.. Real Life? · · Score: 1

    No, it's just a part of our culture, like the buybull is. Slavery is alive and well, most recently with intellectual property.
