  1. Re:I DON'T CARE -- I BUY MUSIC LATELY on Kazaa-lite Shut Down · · Score: 1

    Unless your time is worth nothing, you should just buy the factory CDs anyway. Plus, you can show the artists you like (White Stripes, Strokes, Outkast) that you enjoy what they do.

    I dont think many people sit and watch the bar go by, im sure they do drugs and touch themself instead.

    Now for showing the artists that you enjoy what they do, most of the money goes to the stores and the record companies

    now my personal problem with p2p is that I end up downloading porn, and eating up all my banwith while waiting for what I really want. ;-)

  2. Re:Emulation for 7000 games.. on First Nintendo IQue Reviews · · Score: 2, Interesting

    how is it legal to sell something for $49.99 with 7 thousand titles?


    Just Because its in the mall doesnt mean that its legal. The comic shop in the mall near me used to install the Play Station Mod Chips for 50 bucks, and if you knew the guy he would burn games for 10. The Funcoland had a working famicon and super famicon for you to goof around with. Plus plenty of record stores sell cdrs of live performances.

    Not everyone follows the rules, and im glad they dont.

  4. Re:Public...? on SCO Ordered to Produce Evidence · · Score: 2, Informative

    IANAL, but I believe in cases were trade secrets are required to come out for the purposes of having a fair trial the Judge can have that evidence sealed so that it doesn't become part of the public record.

    But they're claiming its in the linux source.. so technically its already public

  5. Re:Upgrades not always necesary... on "Budget" Chips go Head-to-Head · · Score: 3, Informative

    I used to work at bestbuy. The salesmen are only taught how to sell the service plans. anything else they're told to read the box. so all they have to go buy is the bigger the number the better.... i dont know if other retail outlets are like this, but i assume its close.

  6. Re:more popular then linus on JenniCam Closing After 7+ Years · · Score: 0

    i was checking out her cam back in 97, with my 14.4 modem.. it was the most amazing thing i had ever seen. i remember running a brute force cracker for like 3 weeks straight with no luck trying to get into the member site. i woulda just paid but i was 16 at the time.

  7. Re:Nasty on Dell To Techs: Don't Help Customers Remove Spyware · · Score: 0

    I stopped in at the local gateway barn, and asked about their machines. If you install Linux on your gateway - you void the warrenty.


    but they give you a restore disk, you could just put windows back on when your cd rom stops working... but if the cd roms not working then.. ohwell geuss you're screwed ;)

  9. Re:We Need the Phones Changed on Hong Kong's Lessons on Number Portability · · Score: 1

    google on cellphone hacks, most phones have codes where you can change them to work on differant carriers, its legal too.. it will work as long as the carrier you're moving to uses the same technology as your phone.... i even think the company you're moving to will help you do it, if you ask really nicely.

  12. ROAD TRIP! on Satellite TV From a Moving Car · · Score: 1

    I WANT ONE!!!

    I'm in a band, and occasionally we drive a few thousand miles to play a show, switching drivers every few hours. This would be perfect for us, break up the routine of listening to the same george carlin cd over and over again. Ever been cramped in a car with 4 guys and a full set of equipment? Anything that helps us ignore each other is good.

  15. Re:Home Users Are Idiots on Red Hat's CEO Suggests Windows For Home Users · · Score: 1

    yeah, I suppose you're right.. I was talking to someone who *REALLY* didn't need to own a computer as I posted that.

  16. Home Users Are Idiots on Red Hat's CEO Suggests Windows For Home Users · · Score: 1

    Linux is not ready for most home users. I work tech support for an ISP, I know for a fact that most home users have no idea how a computer works. Most of my calls can be fixed by restarting the computer, and if its not that then its checking/unchecking a box somewhere.

    I'm fairly new to linux myself, but I wouldnt let any of the people I talk to touch it.

  20. Re:A Real Change on DARPA's Autonomous Vehicle Challenge Too Popular? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Freight? No more Truck Drivers and the wreaks from them being too tired. No more Taxi Drivers.

    The truck driver union wont let that happen.

    In Japan and other parts of the world robots do construction work, ie. putting in windows on a sky scraper. They do it cheaper, safer, better, and more efficient than humans, but the glazier union doesnt allow that to happen in America. There are some private non-union companies that do use these technologies, but they tend to get pickted and sabotaged by the unions. Anything that takes jobs away will be fought
