  1. loot them on Blizzard Sues Creator of WoW Bot · · Score: 1

    I think they should make characters that get caught using that instantly flagged and lootable.
    Then let the fun begin.

  2. If you can't trust Google...... on Patriot Act Haunts Google Service · · Score: 1

    If you can't trust Google what makes you think that you aren't already owned?
    Who would make the bet that Google sold them out before Microsoft?

  3. lock on DirectX Architect — Consoles as We Know Them Are Gone · · Score: 1

    DirectX is about lock in.

  5. Re:Legal filesharing should be kept legal on IFPI Turning To Lawsuits · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "File sharing is crucial to the success of musicians such as myself who offer free downloads of their music. We do this to promote our work, and to gain fans."
    And that is one of the reasons it must be stopped.
    You are the real enemy.

    That's fine but your taxable value is also now "one hundred billion trillion zomg bbq dollars".

  7. Re:Big wilderness out there on Steve Fossett Declared Dead · · Score: 1

    This is a small plane of mixed construction, metal tube, wood, aluminum, and fabric.
    If it crashed hard or burned you are looking for a bunch of strew/burned trash that will not look like a plane or anything for that matter.

  8. Re:Expensive product? on WGA Under Vista SP1 Is Kinder and Nags More · · Score: 1

    OSX Tiger comes complete and should be compared to Ultimate NOT Home.

  9. Blind on eBay to Drop Negative Feedback on Buyers · · Score: 1

    Ebay just needs to not let you see the feedback left by the other party until you have left feedback yourself.

  10. Jackboots without a clue on U.S. Confiscating Data at the Border · · Score: 1

    I don't know which I find more disturbing.
    Them wanting to search my iPod, or the thinking that the bad guys would need to deliver digital data in person.

    I don't see the problem.

  12. Poison Pill on Sony BMG Dropping DRM · · Score: 1

    My question is, what is the poison pill in this deal?

    I thought WGA already did this?

  14. Re:Free Market Solution for Light Bulb on US To Extinguish (Most) Incandescent Bulb Sales By 2012 · · Score: 1

    Please tell me how to haul my work equipment with a Prius?
    Not everyone is white collar.
    A "Gas Guzzling Tundra" hauling a load of tools and supplies is actually much more efficient than a hybrid with one NIMBY in it.

  15. Re:Ahh yes, the "benefits" of tax fed governments. on Australia Plans to Censor the Internet · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The system has broken down.
    We really are down to Kang and Kodos with our current system.
    Unless we all step up and have the balls to vote for someone different, this kind of thing will be coming your way soon.
    The whole "save the babies" bit gets votes.
    Me? I'm voting for Ron Paul.

  16. Re:Decoupling IE and Windows... on Opera Tells EU That Microsoft's IE Hurts the Web · · Score: 1

    "IE is inseperable from Windows"
    This is one of my favorites.
    Integrating a web browser into the os?
    This makes Windows the stupidest operating system ever or MS the biggest bunch of lying asshats ever, or both.
    You decide.

  17. Re:The nose melts ... on How We Might Have Scramjets Sooner than Expected · · Score: 1

    So I good 1950s computer that could gauge airframe stresses due to thrust, drag, air density, g-loading, and thermal stresses.
    That shouldn't be any bigger than the plane itself.

    Damn you Don Henley!

  19. Re:And Totally Illegal to use. on The Development of Ecologically Sound Jet Fuel · · Score: 1

    "Nope, each aircraft engine type will have to be tested and certified. A PITA, sure - just do it once and your done."

    You are quite mistaken.
    Just because an engine gets approval for use of a given fuel, does not mean you can use it in an aircraft that uses that engine.
    The approved fuels for a given airframe are spelled out for that aircraft.
    You would need to test against all the aircraft systems and get FAA approval for each model aircraft.
    The mod would also involve placarding, air crew and ground crew training, flight manual updates, maintenenance and component manual updates, etc.

  20. And Totally Illegal to use. on The Development of Ecologically Sound Jet Fuel · · Score: 5, Informative

    Unless this fuel meets the exact spec of existing jet fuel.
    Each aircraft type will have to be tested and certificated for use with this fuel.
    This is very, very costly and time consuming.

  21. Horrid on Name-Your-Cost Radiohead Album Pirated More Than Purchased · · Score: 1

    Have any of you been to the Radiohead website?
    It gave me an instant headache.
    They should pay me for trying to use that site.
    Maybe I'll PVP the album and mail them a few bucks, but I'm not going back there.

  22. Re:In other news on Consumer Group Demands XP for Vista Victims · · Score: 1

    But it cost almost nothing for MS to give you a copy of XP.
    So maybe they should let you downgrade for the cost of the discs plus postage?

  23. Re:The End of the Republic on U.S. Airport Screeners Are Watching What You Read · · Score: 1

    Our party focused primary system is designed to serve the interests of the parties themselves not the people.
    Until we fix this we will have nothing but extremist morons on both sides.

  24. Re:tsk tsk tsk... on Another Sony Rootkit? · · Score: 1

    Don't forget conditioning gamers to avoid them with the Star Wars Galaxies nightmare.

  25. WOW players know on Australia to Offer Widespread ISP-level Filtering · · Score: 1

    Anyone who has played WOW knows that filtering is worthless.
