  1. share croppers on Recording Deals In The Digital Age · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Artists have always been share croppers for the man (record co's.. iTunes is the beginning of change. Artists, with guts, can make their deals direct with the new distribution channels, and they should, especially, anyone with a name that has a contract up for renewal.

  2. I see a Remake on FTC Recommends Bounty on Spammers · · Score: 1
    What would it take to get someone to turn in one of those spammers who send millions of unwanted e-mails?

    Paladin, Have Gun, Will Travel

  3. then China? on Geek Olympics Code for Gold · · Score: 1
    I suspect this is the pre-training for Beijing, China in 2008; some of the building plans are already online. Here are a few to check out... Water Cube and Main Arena.

    Anyone got a design for the programer building? Giant Processor, etc...

  4. exploding bolts on Soyuz Damage May Delay Space Station Trip · · Score: 2, Funny

    Those exploding bolts... touchy little buggers, always going off at the drop of a pin. Why is there nothing else?

  5. hot air? on Wind Power Falls Under $0.01/kwh · · Score: 4, Funny

    And think of all the hot air in Washington that could be put to use just trying to legislate the whole thing.

  6. Re:Dear America on New Trailer For Upcoming Hitchhiker's Episodes · · Score: 1

    The Beeb always does it with class. Always; and I'm an American!

  7. Nukes and Nuts on Mushroom Cloud Reported Over North Korea · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Hey Hon, would you hand me another Carona. Forget the lime.

  8. The Mother of all... nah. on New Trailer For Upcoming Hitchhiker's Episodes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Let's hope the Beeb's live streaming media setup can cope with the mother of all Slashdottings!

    Word is, someone over at the Beeb was overheard saying, "Bring 'em on!"

  9. Re:No Fair! on 3D Chocolate Printer Made from Legos? · · Score: 1

    Exactly; they don't work very often, and taking down the video proves that coral has little use...

  10. bit by the bites on Cooking for Engineers · · Score: 2, Informative

    Try pair.com, they are very flexible with moving up and down the GB scale; competitive without sacrificing speed and reliability, plus, it will calm down to a more managable scale; I think...

  11. Re:Poor guy... on Cooking for Engineers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just think, when Martha Stewart is back from jail, a sexy convict, and she has him on her show, he'll really have the bandwidth blues. I'll cc her now.

  12. Re:Slam Dunk for Mark Cuban on DirecTV Plans 1500 HiDef Channels by End of 2007 · · Score: 1

    Yes that's so right. The point I tried to make was really his aptitude to see where it's going... and, I also failed to include that he has a hell of a lot of fun while he's doing it. =)

  13. Slam Dunk for Mark Cuban on DirecTV Plans 1500 HiDef Channels by End of 2007 · · Score: 3, Funny

    I guess Mark Cuban was right, founding HDNet, the first national HD network to broadcast all of its programming in 1080i resolution, the highest-quality format of high-definition. And isn't it a coincidence that there is a Ku band?

  14. More Debris on New Ring Discovered Around Saturn · · Score: 1

    The Universe, will it ever cease to exPAND? Man, if it ever contracts...we're in for it...

  15. Guttenberg Galaxy on Solar Powered Computers Planned for Rural India · · Score: 1

    Marshall McLuhan foretold this coming in his book Guttenberg Galaxy; nations, electonic nations, tribalized by progressing technology. McLuhan argued quite eloquently that technologies were not simply inventions that people employ but more importantly, are the means by which people are re-invented. This can be truly amazing if they can pull this off and follow through.

  16. When you were sneaky, way back when... on Ask RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser · · Score: 1

    Do you think that one of your marketing problems might be the fact that in the beginning you did that sneaky thing with tricking people into thinking they had to pay for the Real Player and you still haven't been forgiven?

  17. Re:And they wonder why on Stress Costs U.S. $300 Billion a Year · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is your BRAIN, this is your brain on WORK! yes, RELAX, don't do it.

    Thanks, just picked up two of 'dem warthogs, and ready for anything!

  19. Re:You misspelled "incompetent" on Neither Rain, Nor Snow, Nor Dark of Night... · · Score: 0

    Mispelling one word is a grate form of marketing, if it's only one line.

  20. Acts of God on Neither Rain, Nor Snow, Nor Dark of Night... · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Keep a nitro sniffn' DeLorean parked in the garage with a terabyte of storage on board, then, with any amount of Warning, 1,2,3 days, hell, one hour, you best hall ass!!!!!!! of course, in the proper direction. If you have other valuable computers you do not want to leave behind, you will need a trailer and a hitch.

    Maybe I should have rephrased that, cause I wasn't troll'n, really I wasn't-- officer.:)
