  1. Re:They better not shut it down, on Music Site AllofMP3 Under Investigation · · Score: 1

    $2-$3 just to remove the DRM? .. PER TRACK?
    Theres a much cheaper way to get (usually) DRM unrestricted music at *lossless* rates and that is to buy CDs! Who would have thought..
    And I'm not even implying that CDs are well priced, just it seems all of the legal 'services' are a complete rip-off.

  2. Alternately on 5 Simple Steps to a Quieter PC · · Score: 1

    Remove fans - thats a good idea.. right?
    I expect you can get away with it on some of the spacier cases.

  3. Re:Regardless of the superiority or not on Ask Microsoft's Martin Taylor About Linux vs. Windows · · Score: 1

    Windows is free to a huge number of people who pirate it, or who see it as 'free with the computer' which of course it isnt. The question is - will Microsoft continue to allow piracy of its system?

  4. Re:How? on Google Still Ahead In Search Competition · · Score: 1

    The entire 'pop' genre should scare people away from this method really...

  5. I ahte to say it.. but RTFD on The Hundred-Buck PC · · Score: 1

    "which will be sold directly to governments only."

  6. Now is the time.. on Identity theft Happens Predominantly Offline · · Score: 5, Funny

    To start stealing IDs online, you guys are WAY behind your quota!

  7. Re:no surprise on Real Pays For Legal MP3 Playback On Linux · · Score: 1
    So where are the cheap alternatives that do away with mp3 support and any other lisence/patent encombered bollocks?

    I would actually pay for a reasonably priced ogg vorbis player with good storage space.

  8. Re:Meet him? on Meet The Co-Creator of Firefox · · Score: 1
    Actually false alarm, 19 is a bit mature, and if that wasnt enough they posted:

    >>have his children

    Shouldnt MJ recieve children as a gift?

  9. Re:Azureus Plugin for Exeem on eXeem Lite Public Beta Released · · Score: 2, Informative
    Indeed, if that became the case THEN exeem would really be worth using.

    For the few of you you havnt heard of azureus, its an excelent and cross platform java bittorrent client. Very feature full.

    So come on people! write an exeem plugin for azures, pretty please?

  10. Re:Fax Machine? What about IM on Inkjet Printer Prints out Human Skin · · Score: 1
    The instant messenger idea is sweet, I can just imagine:

    aolusr10432:"lol? my cat is the cutest!1"

    rndy007:"Oh cool, send me a copy. lol?"

    *live kitty cat hot from the printer*

  11. Re:yay! on Inkjet Printer Prints out Human Skin · · Score: 1

    Point being its _not_ plastic =)

  12. Re:If it isn't free... on Bollywood New Releases Available via Video-On-Demand · · Score: 1
    Screen size improvement - yes

    Audio experience improvement - yes

    Picture quality difference - Normally CRT is a hell of a lot better than a theater projector. I have seen slightly shakey ones, and all of them are at least slightly blurred.

    Oh and if you sit at the front row you fuck your neck up with the awkward angle to view the screen.

  13. I for one.... on 'Star Trek: Enterprise' Cancelled? · · Score: 1
    Am actually entirely glad to be done with the show.

    sorry, you expected something else?

  14. Re:From EA? on EA Considering Sims TV Show · · Score: 3, Funny

    It is the only game with that feature.... no more. You see ever since half life 2 death match you could indeed kill people with toilets (strategically placed firmly to the side of the head is my favourite)

  15. future news on Deep Impact Blasts Off For Comet Tempel 1 · · Score: 5, Funny
    "nasa accidentally redirects comet, now headed for earth"

    Doh!

  16. Re:Still falls just a bit short. on Decentralize BitTorrent with Kenosis · · Score: 1

    Who would be kind/stupid enough to provide a few proxies with huge bandwidth that would allow good p2p use, also who would want to open themselves to _everyones_ legal wrongs?

  17. Re:Heh on Man Auctions Forehead Advertising on eBay · · Score: 1

    I think just maybe the GIMP wants _positive_ advertisement.

  18. Re:The search queries are... on Google Exposes Web Surveillance Cams · · Score: 1

    Forced browser id to firefox in those links, perchance?

  19. Re:512kbit? on Producing a Quiz Show from Multiple Locations? · · Score: 1

    You certainly should not have to stream 3 raw video streams for the task. Just a fairly up to task program should manage a quiz type application using 56k if you wanted.

  20. Re:Evolution? on What Do You Believe Even If You Can't Prove It? · · Score: 1
    I'm certainly no expert, but Isn't evolution supposed to be survival of the fittest taking cell mutations and the like into account?

    i.e. a mutation that causes less survival won't last long, but benificial ones will eventually stay and become commonplace.

    and over millions of years the mutations become aparent in the evolved form.

  21. Re:Hopeful on In The Beginning Was The Command Line, Updated · · Score: 1
    Damn hippie!

    </average american slave>
  22. Re:The Obvious Question on Exeem "Successor" to Suprnova Announced · · Score: 1

    Actually I have a horrible feeling that it is not legal to download things shown on TV, even though you _could_ just record thm on tape. Maybe its the distribution thats illegal and not the copying.

  23. Re:sure.... on Exeem "Successor" to Suprnova Announced · · Score: 1

    Although there is a huge selection of available clients due to it. Even if most users havnt a clue, they will at least be free to choose the client that fits their needs.

  24. Re:ironic on Exeem "Successor" to Suprnova Announced · · Score: 1

    Has the cracked version got addware/spyware removed also?

  25. so then... on China Lights Pure IPv6 Network · · Score: 0

    Will they find content they wanted censored swapped around this new backbone?
