  1. Nerd Alert! on Earthlings: Ugly Bags of Mostly Water · · Score: 1

    I think that humans are a bit more than dirty bags of water. These guys need to come down to reality.

  2. 1981 on 1981 Personal Computer Catalog · · Score: 1

    thats the year I was born. All you older folks sure used to pay a lot for some text on a screen.

  3. Re:Wonder how much... on FTC Officials Wary of Spyware Measures · · Score: 1

    But he still has a funny last name...do you have some sand in your...

  4. Let's hope on Google Files for IPO · · Score: 1

    Google's IPO is not an IPU!

  5. Was it me? on RIAA Files 477 New Filesharing Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    The recording industry filed its latest complaints against "John Doe" defendants, identifying them only by their numeric Internet protocol addresses.

    How does the RIAA know who was downloading the song. Most dorm rooms have more than one person. It could have been the roomate that was doing the downloading. Are you automatically guilty because you are the owner of the computer that has the "illegal" files? How do they know that you don't own the cd? I'm sure questions like these have been answered in previous discussions but I would like to know how the RIAA can prove with out doubt that you have no legal rights to the song and that you downloaded it. I guess this is what the courts are for.

  6. Re:Just like the old saying on New Online Ad Technology To Bypass Popup Blockers · · Score: 1

    Mwahahahaha! Thanks for the laugh, mod parent up!

  7. Is this really a problem? on New Online Ad Technology To Bypass Popup Blockers · · Score: 5, Informative

    Maybe what they are talking about is different, but there is already software to block floating ads. Just search google and software such as this and this claim to block in-your-face floating ads. I have never used these and probably wouldn't since they cost money and google is doing a fine job for me.

  8. In other news on Microsoft Patents Timed Button Presses · · Score: 1

    Microsoft patents the color blue.
    (blue screen, get it!)

  9. It works great! on Russian Music Site Offering Legal Songs By The MB · · Score: 1

    I just downloaded 70 songs, it works great. The speed isn't the best but I'm sure this is due to the slashdot effect. I'm getting from 30k - 70k sec. There is a good selection of artist, not just the new pop crap. I've found music from Nickel Creek, Doc Watson, and Tony Rice to name a few. (bluegrass music, nickel creek rocks!)

    You can download the download manager and have it running, then while on another pc buy some more songs and they will be on your computer when you get home.

    I don't really care if the artist get any money, I go to concerts of good artists. I doubt they make much from cd sales. I just hope the RIAA a$$hats will learn that they can make money if they will sell at a reasonable price.

  10. I eat on Smart Breeding to Beat Biotechnology? · · Score: 4, Funny

    hot dogs why not genetically engineered food.

  11. If they had on High-Altitude 'Security Blimps' Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    a WAP on them I could see the use.
    Brian: Amazing Peter, you can barely drive a car but you're allowed to fly a blimp.
    Peter: Yeah, America's great isn't it...except for the South.

  12. Interesting... on Chernobyl Becomes Tourist Hot Spot · · Score: 5, Funny

    "We're fine," she joked. "No health problems. The radiation has got used to us." Tatiana Khrushch, 66, agreed. "The air's clean, the water's lovely and the mushrooms are great," she said.
    I bet they don't have health problems, or they THINK they don't have health problems. I bet they think they are Scooby-Doo too.

  13. I learnded from bookes... on Notebooks Replace Textbooks in Texas · · Score: 1

    Why not give them usb stick and they can save their files to it, save docs and such, take it home and have access. I wouldn't trust a senior in high school with a laptop computer.

  14. Re:I would have a witty comment... on Olsen Twins Sue Acclaim For Unpaid Royalties · · Score: 1

    They are the youngest self made millionaires EVER at age 5, I belive.

  15. Re:My First 10... on First Ten Programs on New Install? · · Score: 1

    After just 10 - 20 mins that darn virus is on my machine when I re-install. Windows rocks!

  16. Re:Uncle Sammy will double your salary right now! on Moving Up the IT Ladder in a Poor Economy? · · Score: 1

    Oh man you are hilarious! I got my CCNA when I was 19 and have not gotten paid 40 bucks an hour (I'm 23 now.) for any job I've done. You must have been the same person that told me that I would make 100K+ if I got my CCNP, guaranteed!

  17. Re:Well... on Moving Up the IT Ladder in a Poor Economy? · · Score: 1

    Currently, one month's pay at that rate that would pay my rent, food, utilities, cable, phone, gas, and 6 months of car insurance, with a sizable chunk left over.
    You must rent a cardboard box and eat scraps from a garbage bin and steal cable and have a walkie talkie for a phone and drive a scooter to have a sizeable chunk left from that pay.

  18. My suggestion is on Moving Up the IT Ladder in a Poor Economy? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yes it is.

  20. Re:Too much space is driving me nuts! on iPod Mini Hits The 'Sweet Spot'? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Thanks for a response that is informative. I am not trying to troll, just looking for an answer and you provided me one.

  21. Re:Congratulations on iPod Mini Hits The 'Sweet Spot'? · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Exaclty, I don't understand, can some one explain this?

  22. Too much space is driving me nuts! on iPod Mini Hits The 'Sweet Spot'? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yeah, I hate having extra space, it drives me nuts!
    My question is:

    Ipod mini 249.00 4gig, Ipod 299.00 15gig I don't understand why you would purchase the mini ipod. Its not amazingly smaller and only 50 dollars cheaper.

  23. Wireless on Listen to Internet Radio over Wifi · · Score: 1

    head phones would be cheaper though you couldn't change stations.
