  1. I wonder . . . on MP3.com, Warner Music Reach Settlement · · Score: 1

    . . . how much of that $100 million will be given to the artists, who myMp3.com supposedly infringed upon? :)

  2. Funny (From the ZDNet Article): on Justice Department Decides To Break Up Microsoft · · Score: 1

    "The company said the provisions would force Microsoft to redesign its operating system and open up its source code. What's more, the company said the proposal may force employees out the door because Microsoft workers, may of whom are engineers accustomed to precision in the ascertainment of objectively verifiable facts, wouldn't be able to understand the new rules."

  3. Re:What is CmdrTaco saying? on Dr. Dre Might Sue Napster Users? · · Score: 5

    I think a better question is: How do Dr. Dre's recordings qualify as "intellectual" property? :)

  4. CHROMOSOMES IN DNA??? HELLO! on Review: "Mission To Mars" · · Score: 1

    I can't believe the blatant factual errors in this movie. For example: anyone with the slightest knowledge of biology realizes that DNA doesn't contain chromosomes. What the DNA strand was missing were AMINO ACIDS. Chromosomes are composed of DNA, not the other way around.

  5. Re:What about MTV on What Does the Audio Home Recording Act Really Allow? · · Score: 1

    MTV plays music videos? When?

  6. Re:Yes, please save me from myself. on Survey Says 63% of Americans Like MS the Way It Is · · Score: 1
    And don't forget:
    • MTV
    • "Chicken Soup for the Soul"
    • Jesse Ventura
    • Britney Spears/NSync/Backstreet Boys/Third Eye Blind
    • Miller Lite
  7. Re:payola? on DeCSS Injunction Ruling · · Score: 2

    That's from Jewel's book of poetry, isn't it?

  8. Re:William Gibson didn't "invent" cyberpunk on William Gibson in The News · · Score: 1

    Try The Cyberiad, by Stanislaw Lem, from 1967.

  9. Re:who is William Gibson? on William Gibson in The News · · Score: 2

    A difficult read? Neuromancer? Are you sure we're talking about the same book?

  10. Stop Spending $$$ on Stupid Shit on Internet Tax Moratorium Over? · · Score: 1

    Here in Seattle, we (the taxpayers) are paying for a $500M baseball stadium that was VOTED DOWN in the first place. Meanwhile, our public school teachers had to go on strike for a measly 5% salary raise, which (if I remember correctly) they did not get. If state and local goverments had their priorities straight in the first place, nobody would even be talking about a ludicrous and unconstitutional internet tax.

  11. Re:"I plead the 5th?" on Interview: the "Punk Hacker Kid" Responds · · Score: 1

    Ok, ok. I know what the 5th amendment is. I just wondered why he felt he had to invoke it. But thanks.

  12. "I plead the 5th?" on Interview: the "Punk Hacker Kid" Responds · · Score: 2

    Plead the 5th? What the heck is that supposed to mean? And why does he have to use a team of editors anyway? Isn't he supposed to be a regular person like everyone else? I detect bullshit!

  13. Not an original idea, but... on Passing Porn, Banning the Bible · · Score: 1

    I think I read this somewhere on ZDNet, of all places, and it sounded like a really good idea. I'm not that familiar with the techical aspects of web domains, but what about adding a few new domain suffixes, like .xxx or .adu? I'm sure the porn site operators wouldn't mind, and it would certainly make filtering easier for paranoid parents and scholl administrators who are too busy to actually supervise the fragile little minds of "the children".

  14. Re:U can just disable SMS on cDc Charges MS w/ Distributing Cracker Software · · Score: 1

    GM is the largest, according to Fortune 500.
