  1. Too thick... on Nokia Releases Linux Handset · · Score: 1

    And that's not what she said in this instance. It's 19+mm while the iphone is less than 12.5mm. I'm really growing tired of my iphone for a multitude of reasons. I'd go for this (depending on battery life) but that's just too thick for my tastes.

  2. People will complain.... on Last.fm To Start Charging International Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    About anything. Seriously, it's three dollars a month! I've had a subscription for some time now because I've found TONS of music I would have never found otherwise. Their streaming is great. If my ten cents a day helps keep them afloat and allows me to keep discovering new artists, it's completely worth it. And if you're that cheap anyway, hit up a proxy or do without. There are always shoutcasts and icecasts out there. They suck, but it's an alternative for the financially challenged.

    "There must be a few people out there who still respect copyright."

    Not a chance.

  4. Re:video on demand on MovieLink 2004's Top Film Download Service, So Far · · Score: 1

    Now if I could only learn what those funny symbols mean.

  5. Re:Click and Win! on MovieLink 2004's Top Film Download Service, So Far · · Score: 1

    That's some serious product placement.

  6. Re:Movie Link's "Watch now or up to 30 days later" on MovieLink 2004's Top Film Download Service, So Far · · Score: 3, Informative

    I downloaded a couple of movies from movielink only because they were free when signing up for crappy sbc dsl. Movielink installs a proprietary "downloader." This downloader connects to their database when watching the movie, I guess to verify download date and if it has been watched. I tried to watch my movie with allowing it to connect to the internet and it was a no go.

  7. Re:Two words! on Sal Wise, Philly eBay Scammer Strikes Back! · · Score: 1

    And grammar.

  8. Two words! on Sal Wise, Philly eBay Scammer Strikes Back! · · Score: 1

    Atrocious spelling.

  9. Re:$$$ according to Zagat on Las Vegas Monorail Finally Ready To Open · · Score: 1

    Yes, I was in Vegas not too long ago. I walked from MGM Grand all the way to Stratosphere. A good hour walk. I would have gladly paid $3 for a ride. I ended up taking the bus back. Which wound up costing about the same.

  10. Re:The Solomon solution... on The Future of Free Weather Data on the Internet · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Or go outside...

  11. Re:No fun being on a sinking ship on Amazon Seeks Divorce, $750M from Toys R Us · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm going to have to agree. I worked for a company that handled the phone based orders about four years ago. They were constantly out of stock on their product.

  12. Re:What about.... on Senate Unanimously Passes Anti-Camcorder Bill · · Score: 1

    I've never known anyone that carries their camcorder around without a purpose. I've also never known anyone that happened to be on vacation, filming the city or what have you, and then be overcome with the sudden urge to pop in for a movie. But what will they do with their camcorder? Take in to the camcorder check room of course.

  13. Re:Best Buy, Minnesota and the Death of Music on Napster and Best Buy Joining Forces · · Score: 1

    I'm not so much interested in local bands as I am yet unknown bands. I've found that Target as a Up and Coming section (or something like that) with really good prices. Before the Vines got big, I got their cd for 7.99. They have their own endcap at most stores.

  14. Re:How to avoid the sales droids on Napster and Best Buy Joining Forces · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There are not too many things more rude than customers on cell phones. I've said it once and I'll say it again, cell phones are the most detrimental inventions ever. Detrimental as far as common courtesy, manners and politeness.

  15. Re:Futurama on C-3PO Joins R2 in the Robot Hall of Fame · · Score: 1

    What did you say? Robo, you know robot hobo. Oh I thought you said.. nevermind.

  16. Re:Strange on Beastie Boys' New Album Silently Installs DRM Code · · Score: 1

    Copy protection is all fine and dandy to prevent pirating. However, when it affects normal consumers, then there is a problem. What's the old saying? My hand can go as far as your nose? Or something of the sort.
