  1. Re:Blu-ray on Microsoft Longhorn To Support HD DVD Format · · Score: -1

    Yup. What microsoft decides is what goes. I think it's a tradgedy though, as Blu-ray dual-layer is another hard drive for me!

  2. This is why on TiVo Bug Shuts Out Many Series 1 TiVo Owners? · · Score: -1

    This is why I dont use TiVo, I have a hookup directly into my ATI TV Wonder VE. No software to worry about at all. Less stuff to fail.

  3. Could it work? on Hatch Pushes INDUCE Act · · Score: -1

    Your also looking at the laziest people ever. This is a culture where the people laugh at and enjoy much of Adult Swim. (not the anime - of which I havent seen yet - but the regular cartoons that boil down to thinly disguised sexual innuendo and half-funny stupid-guy jokes that dont last, catering to the lowest common denominator of adult TV viewers, the stupid lazy people in other terms) People are only going to revolt if they feel it. And when I say 'feel it', I mean FEEL IT HURT, FEEL IT IN THE NUTS feel it. it's not just when the DVD player wont copy your DVD to a tape, or when the new VCRs/DVD recorders are afraid of a little broadcast flag, but when copyright-loving (in this case Viacom) loonies drive up to your house, break into your house and confiscate your homemade Invader Zim tapes and the VCR currently recording Danny Phantom over a digital TV signal. Even then I dont think people will revolt, it will be like the Holocaust where Hitler took the minorities one by one, people didnt wanna revolt, but instead DISTANCED themselves from the minorites ("I'm glad it didnt happen to me") in fear. How it will work out today: After recieving an anonymous tip, the police drive up to your house, break in and confiscate your DVD recorder and broadcast-flag remover while holding you at gunpoint. Now, your neighbors, upon hearing this, WONT ever, ever, EVER try and help you, because then they would be criminals as well. Now do you get it? People wont listen because they dont want the risks. In fact, prison escapees are better than most people because they ARENT LAZY. Get it?

  4. Thank you on Unix To Beef Up Longhorn · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Thanks for pointing out the problems with our country. Really, THIS IS NOT SARCASTIC I'M SERIOUS! Now, can you make the congress help crime instead of wasting money enforcing copyright where they have the power to eliminate it? Maby I should make a parody of Europe now, should I? No wait, a parody of Earth!

  5. Yet... on Green Energy From Manhattan's East River · · Score: 0

    Some chance the greenpeace guys will still complain?

  6. *** MOD PARENT DOWN *** on Sports Highlights via AI · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Parent post contains hardcore pornographic ASCII art.

  7. Re:I kind of like ARM on ARM: The Non-Evil Monopolist · · Score: 0

    Intel and AMD dont cause the BSODs at all. People are actually smart enough to realize that Windows causes the BSODs.

  8. Re:Scamorama is awesome on 419 Scam Blow-by-Blow · · Score: 0

    Reading those, I wonder if they would believe someone posing as someone from, say, a Megaman or Metroid game... *laughs*

  9. Re:419 is Ohio on 419 Scam Blow-by-Blow · · Score: 0

    Scambaiting? Like a fish fishing for humans...

  10. Re:OMGWTFLOL SLASHDORK on 419 Scam Blow-by-Blow · · Score: 0

    You just contradicted yourself, look at the last line. Note to moderators: this is +5 insightful.

  11. Re:Just in case the decide to pull the reg crap on Wi-Fi by Rail, Bus or Boat · · Score: 0

    Yeah, you cant surf the web while driving a car! (although some try to)

  12. Re:games on Wi-Fi by Rail, Bus or Boat · · Score: 0

    Depends on how far away you are from the hub and how long it takes to get from the hub to the internet (you know, if it's a mesh of hubs working together) so make sure to check the server pings before logging in for some morning wifi fragging.

  13. Re:games on Wi-Fi by Rail, Bus or Boat · · Score: 0

    Wifi should be good enough to do a couple games of, say, Counterstrike or something, of course, on a train... if you go in a tunnel prepare to be fragged into little tiny bite size pieces.

  14. Um... on Wi-Fi by Rail, Bus or Boat · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Can the hotspots also get data signals from, say, other stationary hotspots or a data wire implanted in the tracks?

  15. Re:Public domain? on Nextel and FCC Swap Bandwidth · · Score: 0

    Public domain is a term for anything unregulated, i.e. public domain works, public domain spectrum...

  16. Re:It's not "in" the browser on Mozilla/Firefox Bug Allows Arbitrary Program Execution · · Score: 0

    So? At least it's already been patched, unlike MS taking two weeks for a 3rd party to patch it.

  17. Re:It's a newbie error in world politics... on EU Ministers Went Off-Brief In Patent Vote · · Score: 0

    Well, I'm sure a lot of us know how 'impossible' it seemed to unite 13 colonies that just got it's independance. Of course we're just fine now.

  18. Re:The US always the last to get cool stuff on New Generation of MP3 Players, New Features · · Score: 0

    You mean an alarm clock or NTSC tv?

  19. Good on UN Takes Aim At Spam Epidemic · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I hope the legislation has teeth, and not just false promises, like some of the UN security council resolutions against Saddam...

  20. Re:Go is tougher on World Computer Chess Championships Underway · · Score: 0

    Of course it's tougher, mathematically there are around 10^43 to 10^50 Chess positions while there are 2.1×10^170 Go positions. In fact, humans usually have to take out large portions of their life to master the thing, and computers absolutly stink at it (although a GA or a neural net/GA combo could fix that)

  21. Re:Linspire!?!!??? on Dell to Ship Linux Desktops in Europe · · Score: 1

    no, dell thinks linspire is better for the desktop methinks

  22. Redunancy on NIST Issues Windows XP Security Guide · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    IT pros already know Windows XP has more gaping security holes than Windows 3.11! And less functionality, too!

  23. 50% on NIST Issues Windows XP Security Guide · · Score: -1, Troll

    Fifty percent of those problems are IE problems.

  24. Re:For those wondering this isnt Region 1.... on Ten-disc 'Matrix' DVD Box Set Planned · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So? Make it work.

  25. I've a question on "Evolved" Caches Could Speed the Net · · Score: 1

    Can we use this tech to fix DNS? It's a really obsolete system, IMHO.
