  1. If the SCO/Linux trials ever start... on SCO Caught Copying · · Score: 1

    I wonder how the fact SCO steals things will effect their argument that others stole their code?

    I could see the whole "But SCO stole it from us! look, they even stole before!" type argument coming out... i just hope it doesnt, because i would like to believe linux's code can stand without the lawyer tricks

  2. Screw pay-to-download mp3s on The New MP3.com: 3rd Time a Charm? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If you insist on paying for what you can get for free, cut the middle-man and just send the 50 cents directly to the artist that made the music, because thats about all they get from that 15 bucks you would spend at the store

  3. Re:Sort of... on Mac Trojan Horse Disguised as Word 2004 · · Score: 1

    Yes, his house may be mac but he still lives on the same ghetto internet town, with all the same internet wannabie-hackers, with all the same morons.
    Just because your house has an apple tree infront of it doesnt mean someone will just pass by and look for the house with the cracked windows

  4. Re:public beta? on Mac Trojan Horse Disguised as Word 2004 · · Score: 1

  9. I wonder where its positioned on Factory Testing of Airborne Laser Cannon Completed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Cos if its on the bottom of the plane, its going to have to be generaly above the missile, and then if it misses, i wonder what that beam is going to hit?

  10. Re:My Tactic on 31 Lawsuits Filed Over Alleged JPEG Patent · · Score: 1

    sadly, with the great legal poetry lawyers can put together, and the horrible education the folks down at the patent offices have, a patent on breathing is probably possible.
    So now we all switch to machines that pump air into us
    And then someone patents cell multiplying. Is that a licenced baby you are carrying, ma'am?

  11. Re: 'Einstein Probe' Delayed on 'Einstein Probe' Delayed · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yes, i cant wait for CNN to start reporting bush's thoughts on the probe, and how it is proof that we are moving allong, dispite the terrorists threats and we should all be in bush's debt. Thank you CNN. All hail bush.
