  1. Re:Ah, fight fire with fire... on What You Get When You Buy a Spam CD · · Score: 1

    I get 'spam-fighting tools' spam all the time now. Its still spam and still annoying. I don't think people are responding to spam anymore anyways, which is why they send so much more of it.

  2. Re:Steve Jobs Gets It. on Steve Jobs and the State of Legal Music Downloads · · Score: 1

    I guess it depends on weather you look at the person who is the victim of theft as no longer having something which they had before, in which case it isn't theft (unless you consider the money the might have had), or the person getting something without paying for it, in which case it is. I think we need a new word (though I always liked 'piracy' so I can wear my patch and parrot when I load up kazaa).

  3. Re:traffic.equals(noise) returns false on Europe Begins Noise Mapping Effort · · Score: 1

    Want to hear what a city sounded like before cars? Try Venice. Missing the horses of course, but its a fair sized city and really quiet (though the tourists/students can be rowdy).

  4. Re:Rich country? on Europe Begins Noise Mapping Effort · · Score: 1

    The U.S. always seems to use their tax-payer's money to make lots of noise in other people's countries.

  5. Re:Hmmmm curious... on Kazaa-lite Shut Down · · Score: 1

    Soulseek works great for old/out-of-print stuff. Friendly users and mostly full albums. Its been small up until recently and so has stayed under the radar. If you're into harder to find music and/or full albums (especially electronica), give it a look.

  6. Re:Well crap. Help me with a new program on Kazaa-lite Shut Down · · Score: 1

    Tried MLDonkey? (Google it). It works on Fasttrack as well as Bittorrent, EDonkey, even has Soulseek support.

  7. Re:slightly OT question on RIAA Extends Legal Action · · Score: 1

    I'm up to 140 gigs. Everything is good and sorted. Almost all are full albums ripped in VBR.(50 gigs are classical) The jazz/soul section is great to shuffle through, almost never hit something I don't want. Its like having your own radio with a few different stations and no commercials. Just put another old computer in the studio with a copy of the collection, now I just have to get a mini-ITX system in my car...

  8. Re:Unbelievable... on Galileo System To Include Jamming Capability · · Score: 1

    Uh Bush wants a weak dollar. Weak dollar = more exports = more jobs. Its election year.

  9. Re:a proposal on L.A. County Bans Use Of "Master/Slave" Term · · Score: 1

    i doubt they'll listen, nongendered species and inorganic objects dont vote.

  10. Re:The courts will work this out....eventually on The Computer Owner - Guilty or Not Guilty? · · Score: 1

    What if they compromise your aircraft? Steal your car and fill it with explosives? Are you responsible?

  11. Re:About these CPU temps.. on AMD Optimal BIOS settings + Overclocking Guide · · Score: 1


    80c seems rally hot to me. check out the forums at nforcers for your asus board if you want more info.

  12. Re:Great Idea. on More on Talking Shopping Carts · · Score: 1

    its also a great way to get cheap computers to homeless people.

  13. Re:Seriously... on U.S. Continues Biological Warfare Research · · Score: 2, Insightful

    didn't the cane-toad problem come from people trying to eradicate insects? now you want to introduce someting new to eradicate the toads? doesn't seem like a good idea to me, this century is riddle with environmental disasters resulting from trying to introduce one species to clear out another.

  14. Re:AIFF on iPods are for Audiophiles · · Score: 1

    uphill ... both ways

  15. Re:car mp3 player on Expensive Geek Toys Roundup · · Score: 1


    Or you could always build your own on the weekend...

  16. Interesting you mention Van Gogh... on The Incredible Shrinking Recording Studio · · Score: 1
    Actually, Van Gogh was around when machine manufactured tube colors just started coming into use. Suddenly cheap colors were available to a whole generation of painters who previously would have been restricted from expression by the high costs of purchasing their paints. (Paints up until then had always been hand-ground by specialists).

    With Photoshop its too soon to tell, but how many Van Goghs did we have after the invention of tube paints?
