  1. Re:The law is against the law on Government Asks Court to Keep ID Arguments Secret · · Score: 1

    It's against the constitution, and if they want to change that there is a process for making constitutional amendments.
    you forgot about the secret amendment that says the government can do as it pleases.

    money doesn't talk; it swears.

  3. The Donovan Game on Atlantis: Discovered at Last? · · Score: 1, Funny

    i'm skeptic. if this is atlantis, then where is the poets, the farmers, the magicians, and the other so-called gods of our legends? though, gods they were! and as the elders of our time choose to remain blind, let us ...hail atlantis! but isn't it supposed to be 'down below the ocean: where i want to be' (repeat ad nauseum)?

  4. al capone don't want me for a sunbeam on "Buffalo Spammer" Gets 3.5 to 7 Years · · Score: 2, Insightful
    "Interestingly, the conviction was not for spamming per se, but rather stealing someone's indentity, which he then used to launch his spam messages."

    cool beans either way, so long as this guy can't continue his evil ways. capone was thrown in jail for taxes, but it kept him from mafia'ing.

  5. Re:Sued by RedHat Linux? on IBM, Intel Set Up $10m SCO Defense Fund · · Score: 1
    Would this be any different to Microsoft calling in the BSA to investigate a site running unlicensed copies of Windows?

    anyone else wondering what the boy scouts of america have to do with microsoft and windows?

  6. Re:Let me get this straight... on Microsoft's iPod-Killer: Portable Media Center? · · Score: 1

    wow. that joke is so played, it has become "interesting".

  7. Re:A cheapskate and you want to use a PC? on Building A Low-Budget TiVo Substitute? · · Score: 1
    recalculation:
    pc which has already paid for itself through years of service, eduation and pr0n access (read: service, eduation). add a ~200 piece of hdwr + free software onto the already wonderful computer.

    result: realize that the time it took to research, find, play with, install, and eventually setup the diy box. now the tivo looks cheaper. factor in the fact that it will be a fun project: scale looks a bit more balanced.

  8. Re:so cool on iPod-Jacked · · Score: 1

    i fear trying this in the subways though. mofos are bound to get nasty when they I ask to, or imply that i'd want to, share their music.

    "hey, cutie, can i stick the male end of my earphone jack into the female opening on your iPod."
    "AAAAh! Police! That man is trying to rape me."
    "Slow down, Honey. I was gonna let you listen to the soothing sounds of Bob Dylan while I did ya."

  9. Re:Obligatory Simpson's Pointer on How to Handle an Internet Outage · · Score: 1

    Remember "Marge vs. Itchy and Scratchy"? When the kids lost the cartoon, they discovered all the wonderful things they could do outside and together...

    Being adults, we should be proud of ourselves if we can remember this example and at least keep from sitting in a corner, rocking and drooling.

    no no no. u've got it all wrong.

    correction: Begin adults, we should...remember that simpsons episode, and be reminded to watch our iLegally acquired simpson archives.

  10. Re:Really? on The Riches of Open Source · · Score: 1

    Combine this with the fact that they are driven to participate based on their interest or itch and we end up with a fine kernel, a few great apps and an abundance of mp3 players.

    shit. you mean my mp3 player wasn't the first? </shamelessSelfPromotion>

  11. Re:Oh, for the love of God... on SCO News Roundup · · Score: 1

    aside from the glaring fact that linux is not an OS, but a kernel, there are other completely free/open systems out there. <laugh>darwin</laugh> other *bsds come to mind as well.

    of course, it'll be a fucking bitch to change everything. but, if sco wins, they'd have to show us exactly what we infringed on (even if behind closed doors). so everything offensive can be removed, post-haste. if the kernel is unusable at that point, then we move to another system.
