  1. Re:Could be worse on US Democrats Accidentally Publish Whistleblowers' Email Addresses · · Score: 1

    Some other party? We only have one. The "others" never get more than 1% of the vote.

  2. Why stop there? on Technology as Tattletale · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Put on electric collars that zap you if you step "out of bounds". Easy to see where this will lead.

  3. Re:Sorry... on FEMA Sorry for Faking News Briefing · · Score: 1

    ...you need a revolution...

    Before even the feeblest attempt is made to vote the bums out? I would hope not. Not before halftime anyway.

  4. Re:Offense is the best defence? on Mom Sues Music Company Over Baby Video Removal · · Score: 1

    And yes, I am an IP/patent attorney.

    Yeah, the nick does kinda blow your cover :-)

    ate your karma

  8. Re:US, a technological backwater? on The Best Tech You Can't Get in the US · · Score: 1

    How many countries outside the US have a working rover on the surface of Mars?

    I would like to know how many countries outside the US that have good tasting, drinkable tap water.

  9. Re:Economics? on NASA Offering $2 Million Prize for Lunar Lander · · Score: 2, Funny

    If you win, your project will probably be hijacked by the lowest bidder that actually wins the contract.

  10. Re:And one of those choices on Driver Update Can Cause Vista Deactivation · · Score: 1

    As the saying goes, my copy, my rules. The license is as meaningless as their privacy policy. If I want to use a screwdriver as a chisel and a crescent wrench as a hammer, or if I want to replicate them, that is my business.

  11. Re:Why is P2P always to blame? on FTC To Take a Second Look at P2P · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's about changing the internet from its present P2P nature where anybody can run a server into centrally controlled repository of "authorized" servers where uploading, like present day broadcasting, will require a license. Chances are the public will fall for it and go along. And the ISPs are already doing their part by restricting upload speeds and volume.

  12. Re:Zero risk committee thinking on Games All Downhill Since Pong? · · Score: 1

    How different could is possibly be from Madden 06?

    Maybe he has a new hat.

  13. Re:Plugging the analog hole on Bridgestone Shows Off Ultra-Thin, Full-Color e-Paper · · Score: 1

    Well, just turn the light off and make a negative.

  14. Re:Come on dude... whiner on Home-made Helicopters in Nigeria · · Score: 1

    ...you're gonna have to fly it for more than a couple seconds and 7 feet off the ground.

    The flight lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet.

    Patience, Grasshopper

  15. Re:Safety? on Mythbusters to Test Cockroach Radiation Myth · · Score: 1

    Exposed roach to greater than 1000, but less than 10000 roentgens.

    How much is that in megatons?

  16. We need to do like we did for the airlines on New England Patriots Obtain Online Ticket Reseller Names · · Score: 5, Funny

    We need the Department of Gameland Security. If you want a ticket, you must ask permission 72 hours in advance. Upon entering the stadium, you must show your passport or a government approved ID. Under the state's secrets act, you are prohibited from discussing the events. Woe to you who cheers for the wrong team. You will be placed on the "no seat list". See, this is why the airlines really want ID...to prevent you from selling your ticket. Don't be surprised to see it here also "for your protection".

  17. Re:Count Two on Do OpenOffice Users Save In Microsoft Format? · · Score: 1

    I actually caught someone typing a column of figures into an Excel spread sheet once, and then turning on a calculator to add them up.

    Not a bad idea these days. It's Microsoft's recommended patch.

  18. Re:ED-209 not available for comment on Robotic Cannon Loses Control, Kills 9 · · Score: 1

    I sure hope they do. Then I can get first post

  19. Re:Gotta love the older folks, they remember Ameri on Little Old Lady Hammers Comcast · · Score: 1

    I don't know. Imagine one of those old timers holding up an M-60 like Rambo and wildly spinning around while firing the thing.

  20. Re:Bad analogy on Senator Slaps Down FISA Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1

    Didn't it get driven off a bridge?

    That was a very long time ago, and rumor has it that she was driving because he was so drunk.

  21. Maybe on Senator Slaps Down FISA Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1

    The reaction was a bit more than they expected. He's just trying to tread on us a bit more softly... for now. We'll take the (boot)lickin' and keep on tickin'. Meanwhile, the fact is, the lines are being tapped anyway. And as we follow the example that these people set, we can only sink deeper.

    The beat goes on, the beat goes on
    Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
    La de da de de, la de da de da

  22. Re:For those who are too lazy to do some digging.. on Law Firm Claims Copyright on View of HTML Source · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Morons?

    Let me ask you something. Have you ever heard of these people until now?... Operators are standing by. 1-800-623-3925 x665. That's 1-800-MADEYALOOK

  23. 5,000,000 video sites on Viacom Puts the Daily Show Archive Online · · Score: 2, Funny

    And STILL nothing on!

  24. The REAL problem?? on The Real Problem With the US Patent System · · Score: 1

    The concept of exclusivity over thoughts and ideas. The real REASON it exists? To protect and advanced the well being of entrenched interests, for only they have the resources to work the system that was created by them. Don't believe the spin.

  25. Re:Bush Win = Constitutional Loss on White House Wins On Spying, Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1

    The solution here is to vote them out in the upcoming election.

    That would be an absolutely worthless exercise if everybody simply replaces republicans with democrats and democrats with republicans. You need to vote out the party, not just the individuals, if you want to make any difference at all.
