  1. is it that hard? on U.S. High Level Anti-Piracy Post Created · · Score: 1

    Why is it so hard to lower prices, reduce production and reduce marketing to compete with piracy?

  4. Judging by Sony's record on PlayStation 3 to Sell For $399, Going Underground · · Score: 2, Informative

    If they decide to take a $1 Billion dollar loss they should make sure this time no extra finances will have to go into system recalls, fixes etc.

    I have a strange feeling that two giants may fall hard from a war this huge.

  5. Re:Gollum played by Peter Jackson on The Lawsuit of the Rings · · Score: 1

    Although writing and directing a movie can be a form of a art, you must also take note that it is still a business.
    If you decide to skip out on the contract by not paying the amount signed by both parties. That party has the right to pursuit the claims of the contract.

    Not doing so could make the other party try to take even more advantage of you or your services.

    Words don't kill people, people's actions or choices do.

  8. The next level of a Pen Pal on Adopt a [Chinese] Blog · · Score: 1

    This is an excellent idea! Teaming up with people from across the globe, thus changing their view about a country or person etc.

    This is definately the opportunity of a lifetime.

  9. Wow on Google Summer of Code Expands · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Could Google be the next Bell Labs? Next thing you know that will hatch from google would be the cure for AIDS.

    Today must be that new holiday: May Fools. I can't believe I fell for that joke.

  17. Honestly, did the world wake up on stupid? on Music Industry Drafts Code of Conduct for ISPs · · Score: 1

    Honestly has the world set itself into stupid mode?
    First I am hearing lawsuits from companies that build Adware(for websites and programs) against the ones that create software that targets adware programs and malware(Computer Associates).

    Now, I am hearing the MPA, the MPAA and the IFPI wants to impose our Internet Service Providers to follow agreement drafted by the "persuaders" themselves.
    ...

    What makes them come to this conclusion
    Technology experts already know this is a terrible solution
    Funny how so much effort and energy is spent by these associations

    I nearly thought it was April fools day all over again when I saw the article. Why are companies so eager to gain control over Consumers' Privacy Rights?

    MPAA: We want you to sign this agreement.
    ISPs: Oh really?
    (looks at agreement)
    ISPs: This is a joke, right?
    MPAA: We are quite serious in this matter. We were hopi...
    ISPs: Hope? Say hello to my littl' hope
    (flips the bird)
    ISPs: The day we sign an agreement that hinders our operations as well as our Revenue is the day Bush gets a third term.

  18. Re:heh on Google Local Goes Mobile · · Score: 1

  21. Re:I'd love to buy that... on Half-Life 2 - Aftermath · · Score: 1
    I thought the decryption key or schematic would already be downloaded to your system?

    Back in our day we had to configure himem.sys and manually extend our high memory just to play DOOM with sound. And in the end it was well worth it. Don't even bother to ask me how long it took to get Syndicate Wars to work.

  22. Re:Permissions - who cares - they need symbolic li on Longhorn to use UNIX-like User Permissions · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In reality that is what drive naming convention does. Especially using F: for a networked folder \\filer\production Behind the mask of C/D/E could be the \\devicename\partition\ Just windows gives you the convience of the drive name.

  23. Re:Why is Microsoft .... on Ready or Not, Here Comes Service Pack 2 · · Score: 1

    I believe Microsoft feels it is wasting too much time on security issues that are relavent to Pre SP2 for Microsoft Windows XP. I'm sure there is some Help Desk Manager getting pissed off that most of his staff has to deal with calls that are all relavent to clients not upgrading their PCs.

    Chobitsu-ka?

  25. Re:Toonami on Cartoon Network's 1st Original 'Toonami' Series · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The Japanese fad is sure lasting a very very long time. I don't think something that has been around for over 20 years is considered a fad.
