  1. Weaponry on Doom Movie Scriptwriter Dave Callaham Interviewed · · Score: 1

    What type of weapon can I expect for the price of a movie ticket?

    How many other ways can I toss up information and the entire world can view it if they want?

  3. StarBucks knows this on Coffee is Addictive · · Score: 1

    Look at their "empire of addiction" not only that but they are jacking up their prices once again.

  4. Re:gored by longhorn on Longhorn's Copy Protection Standard · · Score: 1

    I think M$ has their fingers in this, if adobe and macromedia went complete linux what's to keep anyone on windows?
    All the developers would switch over and other software would follow adobes lead and make a linux build.

  5. Re:gored by longhorn on Longhorn's Copy Protection Standard · · Score: 1

    I've heard of and used gimp, I don't really care for it but then it was a while back it may be better.
    To be honest I really like Adobes software I don't know why they have ported over to Linux.

  6. Re:gored by longhorn on Longhorn's Copy Protection Standard · · Score: 1

    The only thing holding me back is my use of photoshop and premiere, I could see photoshop under WINE but not premiere.

  10. Optional vibrating orifice on Virtual Girlfriend · · Score: 1

    This AI comes (no pun intended) with accessories!!!

  11. Start a defense fund on RIAA Grinds Down Individuals in the Courtroom · · Score: 1

    Get some kind of fund going and finance someone that is willing to fight.
    Or find some lawyer strong enough to fight the RIAA that will do it free or at the low end of the scale.
    It almost seems like the RIAA picked specific people that were unable to finance a defense.

  12. Isn't there a rule? on The Singularity Blinds Sci-Fi · · Score: 1

    For density of information? As in a collapse at a certain point?
    Stupidity is often faster than any techno leap anyways how hard is it to blow hamanity back to the stone age or away entirely.

  13. AOL optimized? on You've Got PC · · Score: 1

    What it has a credit card reader built into it?

    Apparantly metasploit got slash.sploited

    Some of that stuff mixed with Modafinil and you have an army of maniacal achievers.

  16. Is it just me? on How To Lose An Election · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    George H.W. Bush, George W Bush. Jeb Bush,
    Neil Bush.
    Or has the Bush name become synonymous with "unreliable" and "untrustworthy"

  17. horror stories on Annual Customer Support Rankings · · Score: 1

    Yes Rajneesh got a hold of some bad curry and hilarious antics ensued.
    That and having to argue with "Tom" (heavy indian accent) about who owned my modem rather than why my over priced monopolistic cable (comcast) was yet again not working.

  18. Smells like desperation on Open Source a National Security Threat · · Score: 1

    Since a lot of "closed source" software is written overseas now what's the difference?
    At least the "open source" is open (or so they tell me)
    I smell a desperate software company about to be swallowed in the last few ripples of the Big IT Bubble Burst of the 90's.

  19. This is one thing apple did right on Second Post-Apple Newton Life? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Some people may know me as the anti apple advocate however after using a newton (5 years ago) I must admit I was impressed by its ability to recognize handwriting, battery life, forward thinking construction and the fact that it was so ahead of its time(and still is in some ways)

  20. Re:Yeah, but it is still Microsoft on How Does Gmail Stack Up In The Webmail World? · · Score: 1

    I guess you're a slow learner =)

  23. Re:has anyone actually handled one of these? on New iPod Design Pictures Leak · · Score: 1

    One other thing I notice you use "Anonymous Coward" where I will use my name, that says a lot for your argument.

  24. Re:has anyone actually handled one of these? on New iPod Design Pictures Leak · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, write your own software? I am sure someone has felt the same way and written something since there appears to be something written for just about everything.

  25. Re:has anyone actually handled one of these? on New iPod Design Pictures Leak · · Score: 1

    The funny thing is "it's always a troll when it doesn't agree with your view" the truth is I really believe Apple products are crap because I have used them, but people like you just can't get past the "troll" thing.
    Censorship is alive and well.
