  1. Re:A false choice, of course... on Health Care Reform · · Score: 0

    If you don't post this everywhere on the internet, I will.

  2. The only winning move... on US Unable To Win a Cyber War · · Score: 0

    ... is not to play.

  3. I do not think that means what you think it means. on Oh, What a Lovely Standards War · · Score: 0

    It works entirely without requiring the users to install any additional software... in browsers that have [the Microsoft] Silverlight [plugin]. c'mon now...

  4. You mean like on IE Flaw Gives Hackers Access To User Files · · Score: 1, Insightful

    c:\windows\system\kernel32.dll?

  5. Perfect Example of Bad, Unnecessary Flash on Timeglider Software Outlines Rosenberg Spy Case · · Score: 1, Insightful

    5 years ago this would have still been relegated to a kiosk in a learning center somewhere... but a little investigation into how to write javascript could have made this lighter, more usable, and less frustrating. Unless they were going for a "technology of the times" feel...

  6. Try Glubble on What Filters Are Right For Kids? · · Score: 0

    Collaborative filter plugin for Firefox... lots of dads working together to repel the barbarians at the gates, so to speak.

    It says for children under 12; I'm not sure when girls start talking about "hot guys"...

  7. Evolution, no Ramen Required on So Amazing, So Illegal · · Score: 0


    This is just the video counterpart to girltalk [http://www.myspace.com/girltalk].
    </technical>
    <cultural>
    With the disparate production values, skill levels, eras and even ethinicities, it's a pretty compelling statement about how music can unite us.
    </cultural>
    <emotional>
    Absolutely amazing. Immediately added them all to my Muziic playlist.

    <legal>
    He's fucked.
    </legal>

  8. Beatport.com on Why Starting a Legal Online Music Vendor Is Tough · · Score: 0

    Started 3 years ago, working with smaller labels from the outset... No DRM, 2 minute previews, WAV and MP4 files in addition to MP3s (sorry, /.- no Ogg), and a revenue split that's less favorable for the artist than iTunes...

    It doesn't have anything to do with past abuses. It has to do with the majors having their heads up their asses about DRM for the first 2 years, and their fear of losing face now...

    Warnings and disclaimer: Yeah, it's all in Flash... get over yourselves. I didn't build it, but I am friends with the guy who did. www.beatport.com

  9. Re:Sure, they have that right. on Medical Health Disclosure vs. Steve Jobs' Privacy · · Score: 0

    Somewhere a pimp is laughing at that comment.

    Oh... *at* 40... never mind...

    I thought we were gettin' our drink on with the money we made vending our women.

  10. Simple Workaround on Ban On Price Floors Abandoned, Internet Prices May Rise · · Score: 0

    Purchase at wholesale through normal channels, sell it "retail" to a private party, who then sells it at less than retail on their web site "as new". The private party, of course, is your second cousin".

  11. Re:Er.. on Playing The Escape · · Score: 0

    Assuming, of course, that prisoners can get a furlough, go to Times Square, get some cash to pay the fee, and refine their new escape skillset before they have to back in prison...

    If they're on the outside practicing how to escape prison the next time they're in, however:

    It seems like there should be two distinct ends of this game: one for people with no prison records- they exit to the real world for a cocktail- and another for potential recidivists- they emerge only to realize the floor is electrified and they feel a tingling sensation before all goes black and they are eaten by a grue.

  12. Re:CLINTONIAN SEX on NSA Data Mining Much Larger Than Reported · · Score: 0

    Actually, they asked him that during a trial about suspect real estate deals. The wholy irrelevant sex was simply leveraged in order to force a married man to lie about having an affair.

  13. Contextual Relevance vs. Complete Avoidance on Google DVRs and TV Advertising · · Score: 4, Funny

    I would imagine that they would at least be able to serve up something more relevant... but would they allow me commercial skip? Is having a DVR with no commercial skip "evil" or just good business? If they were relevant ads, I might be incluned to watch...

    All Victoria's Secret ads... let me go get on their mailing list real quick...

  14. Re:Pronunciation on Synthesizer Pioneer Bob Moog Dies · · Score: 2, Funny

    Cows' hooves and somewhat awkward purchase prevent them from playing instruments requiring greater dexterity than, say, a drum- and usually a timpany drum at that. As such, the odds that they need to pronouce Moog at all are slim, making your point... wait for it... moot at best.

  15. Re:Worklists make you popular on Rate Your IM Popularity · · Score: 0

    no.

  16. Karl Rove's Address: on Googling for CIA Agents · · Score: 0, Insightful
  17. Re:Imagine... on Decoding the Genome: Serious Infrastructure · · Score: 0

    That would use approximately 1.21 gigawatts of power...

    1.21 GIGAWATTS!

  18. Re:Fancy sorting my TLDs? on Yahoo! Releases New Search Tool · · Score: 0

    I would imagine that they'll create a smaller scale that moves across both x and y axes. You could find a blend of results across four or more parameters for a single search term.

    I'd also like to see them do interim queries rather than waiting for me to release... subareas within the matrix that trigger another AJAX call when you enter/exit another zone...

  19. PSP format on Kevin Rose Leaving G4 to start Internet Only Show · · Score: 0

    Play Station Portable... Longest Yard movie is releasing exclusive clips in the mpeg4 format for PSP as well...

  20. Allow me to be the first to say... on Room-Temperature, Small-Scale Fusion at UCLA · · Score: 0

    What?

  21. Dear God on Positive Proof of Water on Mars · · Score: -1, Troll

    Please stop. I am only allowed to have a certain number of bookmarks here at work (cutbacks), and am beginning to wonder if /. was a wise choice...

  22. I Would Gladly Pay $20... on Dvorak on Google and Wikipedia · · Score: 0

    But I already know everything.

  23. Alternative Use on AlphaGrip Starts Mass Production · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sometimes, I hold it with my hands crossed and upside down... I call it The Stranger

  24. One Way To Take Down MSN Search on Can Microsoft Beat Google? · · Score: 0

    do a stock quote search for GOOG at search.msn.com

  25. Journalism 101 on Think Secret's Nick dePlume Revealed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    IANAJ, but does his capacity as publisher of ThinkSecret confer upon him the status of member of the press, and the "anonymous" tipsters then function as his sources?

    Normall, the penalty for failing to reveal your sources is usually a contempt charge and 6 months in jail.

    But since he doesn't know his informants, does this

    1) create a loophole or
    2) exclude him from asserting his status as a journalist
