  1. Re:Public Radio should not even use MP3 streams. on NPR's Car Talk Switches Back To RealAudio · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't Public Radio go into the second group? I wouldn't consider NPR commercial/revenue generating. Since you contribute to support it (and this contribution might be a tax write-off ?), I don't think Public Radio needs a licenese according to these terms.

  2. Re:Gmail already raises privacy concerns! on Speculating About Gmail · · Score: 1

    But I'm not a member!

  3. Re:This is a well-known persuasive issue... on The Paradox of Choice · · Score: 1

    Kind of like an eye exam.
    "Is 1 or 2 better?
    How about now?"

    We'd all be walking around with poorly corrected vision if the eye doctor just gave us several choices at once and told us to pick the best one.

  4. Re:This soon? on N-Gage 2 Announced · · Score: 1

    Seriously, though. Has anyone ever seen one of these outside of a store? I've never seen anyone who owned one.

  5. Re:No, no, no on On Videogame Storage Solutions · · Score: 1

    This is somewhat offtopic, but I feel the same way about music CDs. There's something satisfying about owning a rare import CD from your favorite band that you don't get from finding that "rare" mp3 (that can be copied infinitely) that you download from Kazaa.

  6. Re:Security by Confusion? on San Diego Diebold Poll Worker's Report Posted · · Score: 1

    But I think it would be more difficult to answer to a group if you didn't know where they were. With geographical boundaries, politicians have a specific state|county|district to answer to. I don't like artificial boundaries either, but it seems that without some sort of boundaries imposed, a hypothetical politician could crap all over his supporters and then just convince a contingent in a different part of the country to vote for him.

  7. Re:too much? on Nintendo DS to Feature Instant Messaging? · · Score: 1

    No, read the list of features. I think wireless connectivity, movie playback, touch screen, instant messaging, etc. makes it a jack of all trades.

  8. too much? on Nintendo DS to Feature Instant Messaging? · · Score: 1

    Jack of all trades, master of none? Convergence strikes again.

  9. long time coming on Linux Kernel 2.6.4 Released · · Score: 1

    That was almost 12 hours before the story was posted! How am I supposed to wait that long to upgrade my kernel?

  10. duh. on Bloggers' Plagiarism Scientifically Proven · · Score: 5, Funny

    And that last story about Microsoft cameras was stolen directly from Yahoo. FP

  11. Re:No mission possible?! on Uncle Science Olympiad Needs You · · Score: 1

    There's plenty of competitions in Missouri. I would be shocked if there weren't any around Kirksville. I went to the state competition one year, and there were teams from every corner of the state there.

    And if you didn't like where Truman State was located, you should have gone to college in the "Middle of Everywhere" like I did, Rolla, MO!

  12. Re:Next generation mail client on Next Generation Mail Clients Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Ditto, when I'm not on my Mac, I use ssh and pine.

  13. Re:Wow on Digital 'Ghosts' To Guide Students On Campus · · Score: 1

    Mmmmmm...danish.

  14. Re:Question on Infinium Labs Threatens HardOCP Again · · Score: 1

    It's tempting to buy something, although not the underwear, just to have a keepsake of what is sure to be one of the biggest, most spectacular implosions the net has ever seen.

  15. Re:If he's got plasma... on Suggestions for a DVD Video on Demand System? · · Score: 2, Informative

    But that's security through obscurity, we all know how people on /. feel about that.

  16. Re:Misquoting on Arthur C. Clarke Talks With The Onion · · Score: 1

    I think Wilde said
    "a cynic is someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing." And I think you're right about not thinking in monetary terms.

  17. Re:guilt on BitTorrent's Creator Bram Cohen Interviewed · · Score: 1

    You're assuming people actually read the article. Come on, this is /.!

  18. Re:How could possibly be done without Troy McClure on The Simpsons Movie · · Score: 2

    That's Phil Hartman.

  19. Re:Well, on HP Discusses Anti-Counterfeiting Measures · · Score: 1

    I'm still waiting for my Tricky Dick fun bill.

  20. Re:Movie on The Golden Ratio · · Score: 1

    Four out the five people who replied to this before me didn't get the joke. They thought the parent was being facetious.

    Let me spell it out for those who didn't get it:
    PI is the longest movie title in history because it is: (ready?)

    3.141592653589.....

  21. already happening on EA and Sony's Video Game/Music Convergence · · Score: 1
    • P.O.D.'s latest album came with a one-song version of Amplitude for the PS2.
    • There are several GTA cds that feature music from the games.
    • Lots of other games (SSX Tricky, Shox to name a couple of the top of my head) already tell you what song you're listening to. And some are even integral to the game like Frequency or Amplitude.
  22. Re:AI? on Mysterious Tartrate Conquers All At Go · · Score: 2, Informative

    The word is kyu, not kuy.

  23. Re:Favorite stewie quotes on Fox Considering a Return of "Family Guy" · · Score: 1

    My favorite line was right before that...

    "Agh, good God, man! One can only imagine what foul regions that finger has erstwhile probed!"

  24. obligatory Simpsons quote on Should Hackers Get Their Own Logo? · · Score: 1

    It should "move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom" -- Kodos

  25. Re:Nice URL on Sony-Ericsson P900 Released · · Score: 1

    I read it as my-simian.com, which made me think of monkeys. I love monkeys.
