  1. Re:Oh, great... on Build Your Own Cell tower · · Score: 2, Funny

    At least she can still tighten the cordless phone.

    Loose != lose.

  2. Re: Isn't this kind of old? on Maggots: Coming to a Hospital Near You · · Score: 1

    So why didn't YOU submit it?

  3. How I sign.. on Credit card signatures: Useless? · · Score: 1

    I when I have to sign, I usually sign something else. I've been using "Mace Windu" recently. And as a 5' 10" whiteboy, I think it would be pretty easy to prove that I'm not who I sign as.

    Nobody checks. The back of my card isn't even signed.

  4. Re:This will only lead to Retribution on Buying DRM-Free Songs From the ITMS · · Score: 1

    $99 is too expensive? The iPod Shuffle is under $100.

    I got a 40GB 4g iPod and it was only $400 (at the time)

    And what about burning that music to CD? That's what my Aunt does. She doesn't have any use for an mp3 player, so she downloads the music and burns it to CD.

  5. Re:there's worse on IRS Employees Fall For Hackers · · Score: 1

    Banks are pretty great with their passwords, I think. My online banking (Not some huge bank, just a local bank serving the county) forces a password change every 90 days. You can't log in after the 90th day without changing your password.

  6. Re:*My* Rights Online? on Polygraph E-Book at Issue in Federal Civil Suit · · Score: 1

    If they apply it to this guy, what keeps the government from trying to keep YOU from reading the Anarchists Cookbook (Which is crap, BTW) or some other non-Bible ebook?

  7. Re:People focus on the wrong aspects on Star Wars Revelations - May the Force Be With You! · · Score: 2

    You like Star Wars for the story? That's like watching pr0n for the plot.

    It's your basic cheeze story set somewhere cool with fancy swords and lasers.

  8. Re:Artical unclear... on Google Goes to Answers.com · · Score: 1

    Because they can and it's pretty cool to see the high number of pages and how long it took google to search through them all for your terms.

    So mostly just the cool factor.

  9. Re:Why make it look like a rifle? on Build Your Own Bluetooth Sniper Rifle · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Either way someone will notice. If you looked out your window and saw a bunch of nerds with a telescope looking back at you, you'd be pissed that people were spying on you.

  10. Re:Copyright infringement is NOT THEFT! on Finding the Pits In CherryOS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually, this is almost theft. If you make a LEGO fort and offer the plans to people for free, that's all well and good. But if I come along, get the free copy of your LEGO plans, change the title, violate the license it was originally licensed under, claim I made it all myself, and charge people for it.. I am a theif and I stole something from you. I've stolen your hard work and claimed it as my own.

    If I download a song by *insert popular music person here* and claim that I performed the song and charge people for a copy.. I'm a theif and I've stolen their hard work and their income.

  11. Re:New? on AIM's New Terms Of Service · · Score: 1

    ... They shouldn't. That's not the same as saying ugly women walking in circles around trees have the right to not be stalked.

    You're assuming that any kind of Right to Privacy exists online. And you are very wrong.

  12. Re:No real surprise here on DrinkOrDie Warez Trader to be Extradited to U.S. · · Score: 1

    Something a little while ago. With some black people and busses.

    Boycotts don't what now?

  13. Re:No real surprise here on DrinkOrDie Warez Trader to be Extradited to U.S. · · Score: 1

    What is it with the simple minded calling anything that says america can be wrong "terrorist"?

    And if you read his post, fucknuts, you'd see that he was talking to the rest of the world. You know, the Non-US ones.

    If they even exist. I wouldn't know, what with the Public School system in this country (USA) being so bad.

  14. Re:New? on AIM's New Terms Of Service · · Score: 1

    What rights? "The Right to not have your IM conversation snooped on"?

  15. Re:Put another way... on AIM's New Terms Of Service · · Score: 0

    You must have issues with reading.. issues of the "not being able to do it" type.

    You aren't paying for AIM. They can change their Terms of Use to say that they can kick your puppy whenever they want to. All you have to do is not agree and switch to another IM service.

  16. Re:Here in Brazil... on Apple Wins Against Bloggers · · Score: 1

    But the people who Apple was taking legal actions against are not journalists. They were people with blogs. That's not the same thing.

    Because they're not journalists, they have to reveal their sources.

    The problem is the reporting of THIS story is making it sound like these bloggers are the same as reporters for an actual news organization.

  17. Re:Firefox forever! on Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8 · · Score: 1

    What the hell does that mean?

  18. Re:Ridiculous claptrap on Only 15% of Gamers are Internet Addicts · · Score: 1

    Now now, lets be logical. You're bluring the point of the "time spent online" thing.

    It's time active on the computer using your connection activly. Examples such as /., gaming, shopping, reading the news, more gaming.. That is the time you spend online.

    Maybe we should ignore people like you, maybe you will go away.

  19. WMP9 or 10 on Normalizing Music? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They both have a volume equalizer option.

  20. Re:Maybe.. on Broadband to Kill Off DVD? · · Score: 1

    I can live with DRM, as long as it can be removed. And there's always a way to remove it.

    I use the iTMS all the time, and have a copy of jhymn.

  21. Re:How long it will take .. on Consumers Data Stolen from LexisNexis · · Score: 1

    No, you're wrong. Sorry.

    The only people who use the word "whom" are butlers and people who want to seem smarter than the people they're talking to.

  22. Re:Maybe.. on Broadband to Kill Off DVD? · · Score: 1

    Is it breaking the law to download something you own?

    I purchased the game/movie. I want easier access to my files.

  23. Maybe.. on Broadband to Kill Off DVD? · · Score: 1

    Everyone I know has at least one DVD. I know nobody who has ever owned a laserdisc.

    If given the choice to pay for and download movies online, I'd be all over it.

    When I buy a game or a movie at a store I download it at home, because it's easier to mount an image than find and insert a CD or a DVD.

    It's so much easier to manage files on my computer than CDs and DVDs in meatspace.

  24. Re:How long it will take .. on Consumers Data Stolen from LexisNexis · · Score: 1, Informative

    "No entry found for whome."

    from dictionary.com

    "whom
    pron.

    The objective case of who."

    Also, the word "whom" is pretty much only used by people who want to sound smarter.

  25. Re:Hmm on Long-Awaited BitTorrent 4.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Yes, I said anyone. That does include me.

    I really want to switch, but I don't have the monies for it. Maybe I can get a free one.
