  1. Re:Congressional testimony on Hot Fuels on Motorists Sue Over 'Hot' Fuel · · Score: 1

    That's the actual product they bought, not the savings, though.

  2. Re:And in this round: on Arrest Under New NY Anti-Piracy Law · · Score: 1

    Well, if it's Dr. McNinja then infinity, but if it's those stupid ninja from Naluto it's -2450.

  3. Re:I hope he gets the max on Arrest Under New NY Anti-Piracy Law · · Score: 1

    I hope you get caught under piracy laws so that you get put next to your stupid letters and end up looking like a fool just like Limbaugh did

  4. Re:What of Mac's Finder? on Google Makes Case to Join Microsoft Antitrust Case · · Score: 1

    The Sherman Act does not apply to those which are not monopolies. Morally you may have a point but legally it doesn't hold water.

  5. Re:When you buy Vista on Microsoft States GPL3 Doesn't Apply to Them · · Score: 1

    Psychic spies from China cryin to pass deregulation Little girls from Sweden dream of free speech legislation And the companies that start these things attempt Tivoization...
  6. Re:A simple analogy... on Singles, Not Albums, Define Music Industry Success · · Score: 1

    Why should we only listen to "good" artists? Why can't we like good songs from "bad" artists? Guess what? The fan's opinions always win, no matter what the artists or the record companies want to say. If you don't like it, here, have a gun.

  7. Re:I was worried about this on Singles, Not Albums, Define Music Industry Success · · Score: 1

    except Karl Marx.

  8. Re:I was worried about this on Singles, Not Albums, Define Music Industry Success · · Score: 1

    And then just about every album they made after was criticized by the music company as "not having a good song to be a single".

  9. Re:It depends on Singles, Not Albums, Define Music Industry Success · · Score: 1

    Here's a real example: I've only seen the witch-burning part of Monty Python and the Holy Grail and now I want to see the rest.

  10. Re:Back to the Future on Singles, Not Albums, Define Music Industry Success · · Score: 1

    The only reason I can see for the album was to promote and justify the 33 1/3 LP format. Well, go look for the albums that try to tell a story. Listen to them. Some albums need to be together like that. Some honestly don't. Now we have choice and choice is a good thing. But the album isn't dying--it's about to phoenix.
  11. Re:Albums on Singles, Not Albums, Define Music Industry Success · · Score: 1

    A good artist(except when he's doing a concept album) can now release songs when they're ready and now you don't have to wait five years.

  12. Re:I like albums on Singles, Not Albums, Define Music Industry Success · · Score: 1

    You are not the same person as the rest of the world--however, you aren't being oppressed here, because that stuff has always been available either as the B-side or independently on iTunes(or as the album discount)--it won't go away because people prefer to buy singles.

  13. Re:I was worried about this on Singles, Not Albums, Define Music Industry Success · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And that's why Radiohead is failing.

  14. Re:The new steel-worker on MS Moves R&D To Canada Due To Immigration Problem · · Score: 1

    But the upside is that you get to meet SG-1 when they come to your planet.

  15. Re:I call BS on MS Moves R&D To Canada Due To Immigration Problem · · Score: 1

    Actually, Microsoft's going to Vancouver because that's where all the alien planets are. They're recruiting aliens in the hope that there's an alien race out there that has superintelligence.

  16. Re:elsapo on MPAA Sets Up Fake Site to Catch Pirates · · Score: 1

    Ohhhh, if you want it to be possessive, it's just I-T-S,
    But if it's supposed to be a contraction, then it's I-T-apostrophe-S...
    Scalawag!

  17. Re:uh oh.... on MPAA Sets Up Fake Site to Catch Pirates · · Score: 1

    It isn't. "Stealing" private information isn't theft legally or morally. You don't commit theft of credit-card numbers, you commit fraud of credit-card numbers.

  18. Re:uh oh.... on MPAA Sets Up Fake Site to Catch Pirates · · Score: 1

    Well, if it's consensual and you're not in Texas, yes.

  19. Re:uh oh.... on MPAA Sets Up Fake Site to Catch Pirates · · Score: 1

    His girlfriend's probably a Sheppard thunker. The Gateworld forum's gender distribution would surprise you.

  20. Re:So the RIAA own copyright on the fakes too? on MPAA Sets Up Fake Site to Catch Pirates · · Score: 1

    If they say "BrtneySpears_Hit_Me_Baby_One_More_Time.mp3" on the file name but it contains garbage then there's a good chance it's not a fake.
  21. Re:Been done before on Thompson Says Florida Bar Requested Psych Test · · Score: 2, Funny

    It would be so awesome if a judge told Jack Thompson that he couldn't practice law in Florida due to being dead.

  22. Re:Testing not what you think... on Thompson Says Florida Bar Requested Psych Test · · Score: 1

    Billary? Is that like Caesarpatra?

  23. Re:About time. on Software Speeds Response To Road Accidents · · Score: 1

    But seriously, in America, there are things like democracy and cellphone networks that suck here because we had them first and so others could build off our effort.

  24. Re:What a Goof on Thompson Says Florida Bar Requested Psych Test · · Score: 1

    These are media companies led by conservatives. Their morality is "Trap, Dominate, Fuck".

  25. Re:What a Goof on Thompson Says Florida Bar Requested Psych Test · · Score: 1

    Give them a break, they're from New Jersey. If I lived there I'd want to scream-o my head off.
