  1. I fear for the world on Senator Applauds Pirate Bay Trial, Chides Canada · · Score: 1

    If the USA takes to protecting imaginary property to strongly.

  2. Re:Ray Ozzie on Ray Ozzie Calls Google Wave "Anti-Web" · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't say biased, I'd just say it doesn't make sense.

  3. Re:it will only hurt the cause... on Swedish Anti-Piracy Lawyer Gets New Name 'Pirate' · · Score: 1

    I hadn't read the article, and thought it was about an anti-piracy activist... in which case the name 'Pirate' would make sense.

  4. Re:Nobody trusts these machines on Software Bug Adds 5K Votes To Election · · Score: 1

    I think the ones programming them are the ones not to be trusted.

  5. Going to be around for a long time on MS Issued a Fix For Its Unwanted FireFox Extension · · Score: 0

    This is going to be around on machine for quite some time still.

  6. Re:So.... on Anti-Piracy Dog Uncovers Huge Cache of Discs · · Score: 1

    If the problem were seriously bad music would be people be pirating it

    Yes.

  7. Colleges are a business, that's all on Clemson Staffer Outlines College Rankings Manipulation · · Score: 1

    There maybe a few good, honest educators. But overall, it's just a business.

  8. Only a gimmick when Nintendo does it? on Sony Unveils PS3 Motion Controller · · Score: 2, Informative

    Because I remember Sony dissing the Wii controller every which way when Nintendo presented it.

  9. Re:Nice Briefs! on Court Asked To Strike All MediaSentry Evidence · · Score: 1

    Won't they just change their name?

  10. Re:Qt on Harsh Words From Google On Linux Development · · Score: 1

    He made the wrong decision. Most of his complaints are with Gtk, and would not be a problem with Qt. From Webkit, to sound.

  11. Re:Use Qt.... on Harsh Words From Google On Linux Development · · Score: 1

    And Qt support Gtk, Win32 and Coca.

  12. Re:I don't think so... on OpenStreetMap Sends UK Volunteer Mapper To Antigua · · Score: 1

    This may surprise some, but we in the Caribbean are fully capable of operating GPS devices, and navigating the internet. All they have to do is identify a participant in each island, and mail them the equipment -- they may want to start by contacting LUGs for each island.

  13. I hope they make the plug stronger on SATA 3.0 Release Paves the Way To 6Gb/sec Devices · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I've lost 3 drives due to plugs breaking off into the SATA ports on the 3.5" drives

  14. Hypocrites on Sony Rumored To Be Debuting Wiimote-Like Controller At E3 · · Score: 1

    Didn't executives of the game divisions of both Microsoft and Sony out right dismiss the Wii-mote concept as a silly gimmick?

  15. Re:Is this enough to disqualify IBM on IBM Wants Patent For Regex SSN Validation · · Score: 1

    I'd say no... since these kind of things are very helpful in showing how screwed up things are.

  16. Re:Doesn't mean the perp isn't a moron on Judge Says Boston Student's Laptop Was Seized Illegally · · Score: 1

    To hell with people like you that think that being a moron justify government action against it's citizenry.

  17. Re:My Kingdom for a Datagrid Element! on HTML 5 As a Viable Alternative To Flash? · · Score: 1

    > When's the last time you laid out a site without a table element on every page?

    I was with you till you said that.

  18. NIce idea, but unlikely on Sunlight Labs Offers $25,000 For Data.gov Apps · · Score: 1

    I think one underestimated the combined laziness of the masses if you think that simply having easy access will encourage "citizens to become more engaged with their government". At least not in any significant numbers.

  19. How is this not a Wii controller? on Microsoft Trying To Patent a 'Magic Wand' · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It's already in the shape of a wand. And it can do everything described with simple software updates. Do you get a patent just for using someone else's design now? And that's not considering how innovative the Wii controller is itself.

  20. Bindens apperent inablity to lie is interesting on Biden Reveals Location of Secret VP Bunker · · Score: 1

    I find his honestly refreshing.

  21. Re:If roles were reversed? on Danger Mouse Releases Blank CD-R To Spite EMI · · Score: 1

    Artists use other artists material all that time. That's part of the whole art thing. I also believe that cooperations should have significantly less privileges than individuals.

  22. Still doesn't solve their main problem on Lala Invents Network DRM · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Of me not wanting to listen to their new music.

  23. Re:It is clear on LoTR Fan Film — The Hunt For Gollum · · Score: 1

    Than won't Hollywood and the RIAA be in a bind.

    That will be when they unleash the Nazgul upon the world of men.

  24. Re:Glassfish is a Must-Have for Oracle on Will Oracle Keep Funding Sun's Pet Java Projects? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I'd take a WebStart client over an AJAX client any day.

  25. Re:Obviously! on RMS Says "Software As a Service" Is Non-free · · Score: 1

    How much computing power do you need to do either of those things?
