  2. Re:When will the denials stop? on World's Largest Tropical Glacier Vanishing · · Score: 1

    Penn and Teller huh. Would have been better to cite Wikipedia instead in terms of a serious conversation.

  3. Re:DRM solution... on Macrovision Responds to Steve Jobs on DRM · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How about....no DRM ? There are many other problems in the world looking for solutions, why create more problems?

  4. Re:Facts on Macrovision Responds to Steve Jobs on DRM · · Score: 3, Insightful

    10. The executives who think this DRM stuff up, go to bed every night with a big smile thinking of all the money their making despite having cheated on their tests all the way from high school to college, since they are now putting their training to good use.

  5. Blame the stupid shows on FCC Report - TV Violence Should be Regulated · · Score: 1

  10. Seriously though... on YouTube Hands Over User Info To Fox · · Score: 3, Funny

    Fox shows aren't important enough to be uploaded. The funny ones will air on other channels.

  11. Slightly off-topic, but I have to ask... on Illinois Bill Would Ban Social Networking Sites · · Score: 1

    what is the difference between "banning" a website and "censoring" website (ie. the www)?

    It seems the banning is used to bring about positive connotations while, censoring is used to bring about negative ones, but they are essentially the same.

    Nice how you can install windows without Google Toolbar , huh.

  22. Re:Search Fields Address Bar on Why "Yahoo" Is The #1 Search Term On Google · · Score: 1

    What year are you posting this from? The two have been integrated for awhile now - to the point where they've even recently been split apart a bit.

  23. So umm on Why You & Yahoo Should Like This Human Rights Law · · Score: 1

    So calling yourself a democracy really make you better than a totalitarian government? Maybe there should be a set of items against which a government should be checked against. I know of a country or two where the majority of citizens do not like what their supposedly democratic government does...but the government still does it. So if you're going to use business and technology to play politics, one may should at least make the rules fair and transparent: I don't think just wagging your finger at China is that.
