  1. Re:netmeeting on VoIP Wiretapping · · Score: 4, Informative
    That's what the Justice Department was asking for, but the FCC ruled that the wiretap laws only apply to systems that interface with the PSTN.

    For now....

  2. Re:B.S. on Bloggers Avoid Federal Crackdown on Speech · · Score: 1

    Well, we did have that unpleasantness in the (18) sixties, but point taken nonetheless.

  3. Re:I for one... on Wily Octopi Walk on Two Arms · · Score: 1

    God, yes. I cancelled my subscription to wait for battlegrounds, which I now suspect has a lot in common with the SWG Combat Revamp, but I'd come back if they changed that damned sound effect.

  4. Re:preorders and target on PSP Reception Lukewarm in US? · · Score: 1

    It's true, Target in Florence, SC STILL has a copy of WoW Collectors Edition.

    2)Shoot Rick Berman out of a canon (pun intended)

    3)Profit!!

  6. Re:Remember when... on 3D Games Patent Threatens Industry? · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, I'm sure things will change after someone sues Scottish rock phenomenon Franz Ferdinand for subliminally copying one of their songs, and then F.F.'s record label counters with some patents, and the whole byzantine system of corporate legal alliances comes tumbling down in The Patent War to End All Patent Wars.

  7. Re:But... on Pez to Dispense Music instead of Sweets · · Score: 1

    I can assure you this is not the new "Old Korean People".

  8. How perfect... on Wily Octopi Walk on Two Arms · · Score: 5, Funny

    What better way to ring in the opening of the Hardware section than with... invertebrate biology? Wait, WTF?

    Oh yeah? Well I've still got "Daily Radar" carved INTO MY FOREHEAD!

  10. Re:this is why on Identity Theft Victim Gets Last Laugh · · Score: 1

    Nah, it's because you're paying the balance off every month. Wise customers like you don't generate profitable carryover interest and late fees.

  11. Re:Personal projects? on Software Development Practices At Google · · Score: 1
    I think you mean,

    It s future earnings potential is worth more than that of both Ford and GM In the estimation of rich guys and holding companies that can usually afford to eat the loss if they're wrong
    I wish more people would get a clue about how the stock market works.

  13. Re:Emminent Domain for IP on Tribes Franchise Quietly Strangled · · Score: 1
    Man, I hope you don't live in Connecticut
    The city of New London, Conn., is seeking to expropriate the property of the residents of Fort Trumbull, a struggling neighborhood, for an urban redevelopment project that would build a hotel, offices and other features in the waterfront area. Most of the neighbors sold their houses voluntarily, but a few refused, including an elderly woman who has lived in her house her entire life. So the city, acting through a private, nonprofit corporation, asserted the power of eminent domain to force them to sell. The Constitution's Fifth Amendment requires the government to pay "just compensation" for any seizures of private property, and it requires that such "takings" be for "public use." The Fort Trumbull residents argue that their land is being taken not for public benefit but for the use of businesses that will pay more taxes than they do.

  16. Re:Competition on Cable Equal Access Case Goes to Supreme Court · · Score: 1

    The cable companies pay the networks then? Thanks, I'd been wondering for a long time whether it was that way, or if the networks paid the cable companies for providing a way to distribute all their advertising. The case can be made for both.

  17. Re:Cool! on Ico Sequel Info · · Score: 1

    Hahahahahaha! "Policy." That's a good one.

  18. Re:I think this is the start of something new on New Sharp 3D Notebook Available with Linux · · Score: 1

    That was a great joke in and of itself. Seriously, haven't you ever looked at a PCMall or TigerDirect catalog and noticed that in the laptop and monitor section, every other display is either of a dolphin jumping off the screen, or a jet fighter flying out of the frame?

  19. Re:Anyone but EA and NEWS CORP on Eidos Buyout Offer Results in Competing Bids · · Score: 1

    What never ceases to amaze me is that Fox News Channel is always the first to jump all over every little "OMG BOOBIES" or "OMG MISCEGENATION" story about slutty television leading to the collapse of western civilization, while Fox Broadcasting practically created the niche and continues to push the envelope. The punk kids who savage my lawn today might not know it, but when The Simpsons premeired some 16 years ago, it was derided as the greatest force of demonic power since Abraham Lincoln.

  20. Re:No Matrix for me, thanks. on The Matrix Online Launches · · Score: 1
    There's a cheap-as-free EQ2 trial through fileplanet, they had a free SWG trial last summer.

    SOE is a niche player, though...

  23. Re:Bill Nye ad sex... on The Science Guy Returns · · Score: 1
    One time at school I found a tape labeled "Bllb Nge Tha bioence gag" on the front and "PORN" in big letters on the side and managed to impress the hot chick everybody wanted to get with by making fun of said tape.

    Breaking a cardboard tube over her head and an ungodly SAT score were involved too, but that's a different story.
