  1. Re:Sigh, so many scumbags and thugs. on Child Porn Accusation As Online Extortion Tactic · · Score: 1

    How does the ability to verify the real sender of an e-mail limmit free speech? If you are retaliated against for something you say, yes, that deos limit free speech, but its the retaliation, not the ability to trace, that would be the offending action. As far as I'm concerned, say what you want, but don't pretend you're someone else while you say it.

  2. Re:You're not really that ignorant, are you? on Superman Set To Fly · · Score: 1

    I can't tell if you're serious. George Reeves and Christopher Reeve (Note the lack of an "s") are not related.

  3. Re:if only.. on U2 iPod: Any Color You Want, As Long As It's Black · · Score: 1
    Sorry if my first post seemed a bit trollish, but ya hit a nerve with REM. (Great, now I'm off topic) Personally, I think New Adventues In Hi Fi is probably the best REM record since they signed with WB, and definately in the top 5, because it is different. U2 has not gotten more political, they've always been political (Sunday Bloody Sunday, In the Name Of Love, New Years Day, pretty much any other song pre Joshuua Tree).

    and besdes, the two examples you gave of members moving on (Audioslave pisses me off more than Rage and soundgarden Combined, Maynard doing Tool-lite, while still doing Tool), not exactly the best.

    I don't know many newspapers that support quadraphonic audio, or any audio for that matter. It's a friggin' paper!

  7. Re:Also new Xserve RAID; pricing on Apple Announces New iBooks · · Score: 1, Insightful
    costs $7 more than the 17-inch iMac.

    $7 is worth the increased upgradability, to me.

    And it's much bulkier and uglier

    Matter of oppinion.

  8. Re:Editing on 7 hour BBS Documentary Nearly Ready · · Score: 1

    The original version, which may be released in a special 12 "Director's Cut" DVD edition, was 30 hours long.And will feture a new, utterly annoying, entirely computer generated charicter. But it will be the movie the director wanted to make.

    I'm just taking of one day. My wife and are driving from Portland, ME to Boston. It being a holiday weekend in Maine helps, too.

  10. Thank You on Slashdot Gameshow Experiences? · · Score: 1

    Thank you all for your advice. I will try to take it as much as possible. I have been doing as much studing as possible in the past few days, And I am now in crunch time (Its sunday 6pm, the test is on tues. 2:30pm). The info about the "racial profiling" is definatly interesting, and was something that I had suspected (not that its a bad thing, it kinda makes sense, ratingswise). I am a white male (Strikes one and two), but I'm hoping that the fact that I'm younger than the average contestant (28), and live in a state where they don't get many contestants from (Maine) will help me out. That and I think I pull off the middle line between "freak" and "clean cut" pretty well (I manage to keep a proffesinal job, but still have colored streaks in my hair). Hoping they'll see me and think "Ah, he'll atract the younger audience". Maybe not. But, as I stated in my question, I will keep an update in my journal. And I will try to mention /. on the air (perhaps before my own mother). Again thank you all much

  11. Re:Fraud != Theft on Corporate Identity Theft on the Rise · · Score: 0

    I think if the term "Theft by unauthorized taking" differs from, say, "Grand theft auto", than there can be a legal deffinition of "theft" of intangible "property".

    Interesting to note that a majority of its funding ($20-$30 million) was put up by Microsoft's own, Paul Allen

    I'd say that the chance of dying is more than trivial, we all know about Microsoft products crashing at launch.
