  1. Re:How did the music get there? on iPod May Become Next Fair-Use Battleground · · Score: 1

    If you bought them off of iTunes, and they are the only copies you have then you are stupid. The files and the iPod are tied to the computer authorised to play content purchased for that account. The iPod will work fine until you need to sync it or it needs reformating. That computer that has the original purchased files is where you backup the iPod from in case of emergency. Buying these iPods off eBay is stupid as well, they will only play on that iPod, since the new buyer does not have the authentication account.

  2. Re:MOD PARENT UP on iPod Owners Not Thieves · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah lack of FM is a real huge dissapointment. Might as well mention the missing AM, cassette, 8 track and turntable on the iPod. What a joke. Like it or not there are a lot of lesser MP3 players compared to the iPod. There might be a few better ones but if there are I have not seen them. When you are #1 in anything there are gonna be a lot of lesser competitors.

  3. Re:Link to patent publication on Apple Files Patent for "Tamper-Resistant Code" · · Score: 3, Informative

    That was tamper-resistant not tamper proof. I believe it will stand there next to flame-resistant items and water-resistant stuff.

  4. Re:videos have sound! on Apple Sells 1 Million Videos in Under 20 Days · · Score: 1

    And if nobody wanted lossy audio where would the MP3 format be?

    Humor is such a subjective thing don't you think?

    I'll laugh when I think it is funny.

  6. Re:Price? on Apple Unveils New Pro Products · · Score: 3, Informative

    Fortunately, there IS a way to tell the difference! Apple Certified = Refurbished: "Apple Certified Refurbished Products Listed below are great deals on Apple Certified Refurbished products." Sale = Overstock: "Apple Products on Sale All Apple products on Sale are temporarily out of stock. Please check back frequently for new savings opportunities from Apple."

  7. Re:could be better? on The Art of Particle Physics · · Score: 1

    That's the problem they are trying to address. How do you symbolize or represent something that has no reference in the macroscopic world? Does anyone think the particles in question are really those colors and have those spins? The color and spin are attributes that are not really anything like the color and spin of solid objects at our level of reality. The spins, colors and new illustrations are strictly symbolic.

  8. Imagine this..... imagine that on Microsoft's Unique Innovation · · Score: 1

    This guy works for M$ and has a lot of hypothetical junk in his blog. Imagine this, now imagine that, now imagine M$ really is innovative. What a fanboy.

  9. Re:The Real Question... on The People Vs. Common Sense · · Score: 1

    Teen violence has actually gone down since video games came out. It continues to drop. But the gov't wants everybody to believe there is an epidemic.

  10. Re:Thank God... on The People Vs. Common Sense · · Score: 1

    "There is absolutely nothing in the Bible for an athiest or a Heathen, save the possibility of finding God." Wrong, especially if you live in a predominately christian nation. A lot of information can be found in the bible even for non-believers. Also if your enemy is a predominately christian nation, you shold 'know your enemy'. Along the same lines, a great way to gind out about someones values and morals is to ask them about their god. People usually attach their own (good or bad) characteristics to their god. Maybe more people would understand other cultures better by reading their different scriptures.

  17. Re:Apple? on Google Gives Reason Why it is Built on Linux · · Score: 1

    "There are plenty of bad options out there without even pointing out Microsoft." But it looks like when most people think of bad options M$ is at the top of the list.

    obviously. they simulated a portion of the universe and didnt even get enough "resolution" to make out individual single stars. we would need a computer from the future to simulate every atom that makes up the earth.

  23. Ugh on No Need For Trek Anymore · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I have not been able to watch Trek since Babylon 5 aired. Once I saw B5, Trek was so damn tired and silly I could not stand it anymore. It is hard to believe I used to enjoy Trek but I guess I was such a kid.
