  1. Re:Witch hunt on RIAA Hands out more Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    Their purpose is to generate revenue for the recording industry. They're a lobby group.

  2. Re:Do they have a strategy behind this? on Google Hires Vint Cerf · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Bell Labs? Xerox Parc(a commercial failure, but that was because Xerox was afraid of the computer destroying its business)?

  3. Re:Not enough funding? on Katrina Delays Shuttle · · Score: 1

    The private sector carries a serious baggage called PROFIT that I think space companies can do without.

    That's going to be my sig.

  5. Re:I for one welcome our new corporate overlords on Microsoft Sues EU · · Score: 1

    Your point is right, but it is not the point of my comment. My comment was that class is a much more important factor than race in the USA. A rich black American would have it much better than a poor white American. (And yes, a poor Mexican or Indonesian would have it much worse than both. But that's still not my point)

    Actually, in the games where you harvest "ore"(i. e. the Red Alert series), it's not poisonous. It's only poisonous when it's called Tiberium.

    Wow, that looks like the kind of post that would have a goat.cx link...

  10. Re:how much am I payed? on How Much Money do Programmers Really Make? · · Score: 1

    Translation:
    1337speak is used primarily when one is not concerned with proper communication etiquette, especially if one's acquaintences also take rank with the nerd contingent of society. Undeniably informal, 1337speak is a wonderful way to "goof off" or ruffle the feathers of a more serious individual. the last main use of which I am aware is making satirical statements especially regarding "kiddies" who think they're "1337" or those seen to be "crackers" in both senses of the word as it applies to humans.
