    it's illegal to charge your credit card until the item ships

  2. Re:Where's the portable player? on New Digital Audio Formats · · Score: 2, Interesting

    most SACDs have a regular cd audio layer, so you can still use them in current players.

    besides, WHAT POINT IS SURROUND SOUND IN HEADPHONES?

  3. Re:you set yourself up on Cassini-Huygens Reaches Phoebe · · Score: 1

    Plenty of the composers still touted as musical geniuses today earned their money by composing ditties for kings.

  7. OT: ers on Labels Find New Method of Payola · · Score: 1

    they also manage to have a ridiculously expensive and nice facility with a nice strong transmitter.

    on the other hand, my college radio station just held a fundraiser so our transmitter building can actually have a roof.

    eastern mass and ri have managed to get pretty good 4 college stations with a decent range (no, wbru does NOT count)

  8. Re:Record labels are still up to their old tricks on Labels Find New Method of Payola · · Score: 3, Insightful

    except that 'all promotion expenses' doesn't sound all that bad when you're having a fun signing party with the label's rep, who is as young and cool as your band!

  9. you set yourself up on Cassini-Huygens Reaches Phoebe · · Score: 4, Funny

    don't you humans get the message? what part of "ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE" is hard to understand?

  10. Re:Fart Proudly! on Downtown Baltimore To Get Massive Surveillance Network · · Score: 1

    "I'd imagine that the loudest opposers of this loss of privacy are merely those that seek to hide from bad laws."

    cheeky.

    if there's any way to make the person you're arguing with look like a criminal, might as well take it, eh?

  11. bounce on Mozilla 1.7, Firefox 0.9 Release Candidates Out · · Score: 1

    I just installed this on OS X 10.3.4

    The app kept launching and quitting and relaunching and quitting. force quit? no dice. killall? useless, the process never even showed up in top.

    I had to log out and log back in. Excellent.

  12. Re:as a scientist... on Open Access To Scientific Literature: Can It Work? · · Score: 1

    when i ran netbsd on my good ol' macintosh lc520 i believe the x server was in fact called xfree68.

    it only ran in black and white.

    perl took two days to compile.

    i couldn't figure out how to add a user so i did everything as root.

  16. Re:cheap broadband + P2P = The Neoliberalism Kille on McCaw's Wireless ISP Begins Trial Run This Summer · · Score: 1

    'neoliberalism' and 'neoconservativism' are closer than you realize. 'neoliberalism' has nothing to do with a renaissance of the political left. it's a particular economic doctrine, not necessarily a political one.

  17. Re:E2 on Webmasters Pounce On Wiki Sandboxes · · Score: 1

    E2 doesn't have external links except those posted by gods, and they also have a vicious team of editors just waiting to pounce on things like this.

    (1) i assume you have dig up vulcan drives and transwarp cards from the used bin as AE has been long out of business
    (2) why do you need a separate 5.25" controller when there's afloppy port on the back of the machine?

  22. Re:A tautology on FTC to Examine Patent Application Process · · Score: 4, Informative

    It doesn't go without saying.

    It is not illegal to have a monopoly. It is illegal to use your monopoly in certain ways to squeeze more money out of your customers or to stop competitors from appearing.

    ah, you've only been to the parts of the US where all the streets are new and well-planned, instead of old and unplanned
