  1. Re:Will this mark a change? on Arrest in Caridi FBI Investigation · · Score: 1

    Yeah, they'll have to make a public example of these guys for the propagan - er - Public Information effect. I just how that they can get a book deal and a tv movie out of this when it's all done.

  2. Re:also covered on cnn.com on Arrest in Caridi FBI Investigation · · Score: 1

    Great. Yet again the US government sounds like a mouthpiece for giane media conglomerates.

  3. Re:Another Unfunded Mandate on Wal*Mart continues push for RFID adoption · · Score: 1
    I think that's a key component of their business plan. IntenseAnti-union activities , encouraging their under-paid, benefitless employees to get on the government dole, moving into a town by getting local tax breaks (then closing up and moving down the road when those benefits expire), wiping put the local small business economy of small towns, forcing their suppliers into bankruptcy with the downward pressure on prices, employing undocumented non-citizens through 'contractors', Polluting the environment and on and on....

    ....Not to mention forcing their customers to listen to Fox News Lies in their stores and censoring music (but not movies or violent video games.

    the military will try to make WEAPONS using hydrogen.... maybe BOMBS even.

  7. Yet another reason not to buy CDs anymore. on UK Music Industry Stomps on Imported CD Seller · · Score: 1

    I thought 'globalism' was supposed to benefit people by giving them more choices. Surely this anti-competitive action violates some Global Trade Agreement....

  8. Further Proof on Electronic Burglary in the Senate · · Score: 1

    that we are living in the Post-Democratic period in history.

    Democratis are Liberal and Evil, therefore, logically Democracy is Liberal and Evil as well and both should be eliminated.

  9. Re:P2P App recommendations? on Morpheus Infiltrates Other P2P Networks · · Score: 1
    QWirc or Mirc (full albums, movies, music videos), emule (obscure tv shows, obscure movies) BitTorrent (movies, some full albums, & comics(!), K++ (popular, widely distributed single songs) ......

    Eh, Morpheus?

  11. Re:Counterfeiting is a *federal* crime... on Currency Detection Discovered in More Products · · Score: 1

    "Some people use their photo printers to make near duplicate dollar bills to put in vending machines and are then surprised when the secret service shows up at their door. " Proof that you should use someone else's copier.

  12. Paramount screwed up on Star Trek: Enterprise in Danger of Being Cancelled · · Score: 1

    When they decided to build their network with Voyager, snatching it from syndication in the middle of the season. And they screwed up more when they decided to try to use Enterprise to prop-up it's pseudo network. Plus their desire to 'expand' the audience by appealing to elements that turned off a lot of Star Trek fans. I mean, who ever heard fo a Vulcan with collogen enhanced lips and silicone breast implants anyway?

  13. Fair Use ... on Currency Detection Discovered in More Products · · Score: 1

    gets screwed again.

  14. Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations..... on The Software Monoculture · · Score: 1

    Mr Spock (or Gene Roddenberry) was right!

  15. Actually on The Software Monoculture · · Score: 1

    The Irish Potato Famine was caused by policies of the British government. Stealing land, forcing the growth of cash crops instead of food crops, shipping other crops out of the country while the people starved.. you knwo, the usual thing.

  16. Re:Oh for crying out loud on One-Way Ticket to Mars? · · Score: 1

    Was that the "Clean" Nuclear rocket with the fission reactor inside? Clean Nuclear us a euphamism like Peacekeeper Missle or Patriot Act.

  17. I have a list on One-Way Ticket to Mars? · · Score: 1

    of people I'd like to send first....

  18. Re:Wow, "lost" episodes? on Lost Doctor Who Episode Found · · Score: 1

    That's cause they knew they'd get screwed on retransmission, syndication and 'pther uses' compensation. The the people on Gilligan's Island, Brady Bunch, and hundreds if not thousands of other shows don't get a dime for all the re-runs of their shows (or the got a small amount for a few years). Even though their performances are still being used to generate revenue for the media companies who control the product now.

  19. Re:collection on Lost Doctor Who Episode Found · · Score: 1

    As long as you have a dimensional stabalizer you can put them all in your backback.

  20. Full Season DVDS dammit! on Lost Doctor Who Episode Found · · Score: 1

    When the hell is te BBC going release full seasons fo Dr. Who (other that the Key to Time)?? Don't they know that the big bucks in in selling full seasons, rather than trying to sell a single episode for the price of a big budget movie?

  21. Pixar got screwed on Disney Shuts Down 2D Animation Studio · · Score: 1

    Pixar wants the new deal to be similar to George Lucas' Star Wars deal with Fox. Pixar wants to fund the movies themselves, pay Disney/Buena Vista a distribution fee of 10-15% and keep most of the revenue for themselves. Right now they're getting screwed by Disney. They have to split the profits, I believe, plus Pixar wanted Toy Story 2 to could as one of the contracted films, but Disnet insists that it's now because it was *supposed to be* a video release originally - meaning that Pixar got screwed over for making a sequel that was a high enough quality that it was a viable theater release. Disney really can't afford to lost Pixar, since they have a proven and consistent track record. Monsters Inc took them to new heights in 2002 then Finding Nemo surpassed it. (339 million domestically, over 700 million internationally, so far).

  22. That's Dubya... on SCO Expands Licensing Money Chase Worldwide · · Score: 1

  24. We we have a robotic file downloder on Scientists Invent Scientist · · Score: 1

    then I'll be impressed. Something to search irc, kazaa, edonket, bittorrent and, of course, the web, and look for suff I might want to see or hear and get download it for me, properly file and name it, and intelligently create CD and DVD collections of data while I'm sleep or at work. Oh, and it should also load the DVDR itself and put new discs in. and order more online for the mest price when I run low.

  25. Re:bad idea? on Scientists Invent Scientist · · Score: 1

    Everyone else has. Seeing a remote controlled S.W.A.T. robot with a shotgun (OK, it's not real robot) freaked me out when I saw it on the news. The remote controlled military planes are another step. Can Skynet be far behind?
