  1. Still Making News...? on OpenDocument Foundation Closes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why is this still making news, it has already been found out that the OpenDocument Foundation, Inc. has nothing to do with the OpenDocument Alliance...the real organisation behind ODF; so I ask again why this is still making news?!

  2. True MultiClassing on More Details on Dungeons and Dragons Fourth Edition · · Score: 0

    I would love to see the 4th edition finally allow you to multiclass properly, yes it can be done in earlier editions, but it is not the easiet thing to do. I love being able to be a Warrior-Mage/Warrior-Wizard, etc...but as I said it's not that easy to do. On another note, would love to see MMORPGs allow you to do the same thing as well, as far as I know...none allow you to yet.

  3. GeoCities Tried This.... on Does Google Own Your Content? · · Score: 0

    Remember about 10yrs ago, GeoCities tried this same thing...I believe this was just before or just after Yahoo! bought them. The users will just cry foul again, or sue...either way, my content on their system belongs to me!

  4. Smarter Teens/Smarter Adults on Smarter Teens Have Less Sex · · Score: 0

    Well, now I know one of the reasons why I didn't have sex as a teen...wonder if it's the same reason that I cannot get sex as an adult; although my theory has always been women do not like me; and since I've been trying to get a first date for 20yrs my theory seems more sound!

  5. SCO.... on Microsoft Says Free Software Violates 235 Patents · · Score: 0

    Well, it seems like were in for another miSCOsoft all over again...!

  6. Dectecting Life On Other Worlds on Detection of Earth-like Civilizations in Space Now Possible · · Score: 0

    The problem here is, that we have been assuming since SETI started that an alien species would be using radio waves, if in fact they are more advanced then us who said they ever used radio, etc. It's just like when people said the Earth is the centre of the solar system, same thing is happening here.

  7. LiveDrive: Almost Live...! on LiveDrive vs GDrive vs Personal Data Storage? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Out of the 109 comments on this story, I am surprised no one tried to access Microsoft's LiveDrive, which you can do here:

    http://drive.live.com/

    You get the Live.com login page, and it logs you in...but it's a completely blank page, if you view source you get a blank document as well.

  8. Re:Bean Shell Script on Your Thoughts on the Groovy Scripting Language? · · Score: -1

    Just because something has been around longer, does not always mean it is better...!

  9. Skype, Etc...Not American on RICO Suit Filed Against Skype Founders · · Score: 0

    I've read through all the previous posts, but have yet to see anyone ask this!

    How is it an American company can try and sue a companies using an _American law_ when most -- if not all of those companies -- are not in the US..?!

  10. iPod Killer...No Way! on Virgin's New iPod Rival · · Score: 0

    Has anyone seen the MP3 players from Pogo! Products, specifically their RipDrive (http://www.pogoproducts.com/ripdrive.html)...they do have an 80GB version but it's not listed on their web site but is listed on ThinkGeek!

  11. Would This Work...? on Why Are There No Sports MMO Games? · · Score: 0

    But would a sports inspired MMO actually work, it's easier to create the RPG-type MMOs...but maybe someone needs to try and start up a project about this.

  12. Tim Bray Is.... on Tim Bray Finds An Affinity Between Patents And OSS · · Score: 0

    Tim Bray is a very helpful man, when I was trying to design a programming language based on XML he answered a few of my questions...unfortunately because I couldn't get any Developer support it went nowhere!

  13. Is This Going To Work...? on Novell to Defend Open Source Using Patents · · Score: 0

    Yes, I've read the article, but do you think this can really work...I am not against or for patents especially in this day and age of computers when innovation is key; yes I could see their use during the early 20th century but are they worth it now?!

  14. Browser Wars Are Good...! on The Browser Wars Are Back? · · Score: 0

    In my opinion the browser wars are good for innovation, and if they are starting again M$ will have to really innovate or their browser will die...yes I currently use Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and M$IE; but Opera had first what Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox have started to get over the last year.

  15. Re:Wonder When...? on FTC Files Spyware Case Against Sanford Wallace · · Score: 0

    Originally, if you didn't read and just kept hitting "Next" you'd end up installing the spyware/adware...if you read the installer it would give you an option not to install the adware/spyware; but now the option not to install it [adware/spyware] is more pronounced so everyone chooses not to install the stuff!

  16. Wonder When...? on FTC Files Spyware Case Against Sanford Wallace · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I wonder if the FTC will try and go after the creator of Messenger Plus!, the addon for MSN Messenger...seeing as how it gives you the option of installing Adware/Spyware when you install the program; the thing is I don't see it happening at all since the law is only good for the USA?!

  17. Re:They already have... on BBC Wants Help With Dirac Codec · · Score: 0

    I did a quick scan of the article, guess I missed that...oh well; sh*t happens!

  18. Maybe They Should.... on BBC Wants Help With Dirac Codec · · Score: 0, Redundant

    GPL the thing, but how will this compete with the Ogg Theora codec?!?!

  19. Hope...! on Doom Movie Scriptwriter Dave Callaham Interviewed · · Score: 1

    I really hope this will be a good movie, you remember how bad some of the early video game to movie adaptations have been...heck even with the ones over the last few years haven't been all that good because like usual Hollywood has taken major liberties with the properties!

  20. What If This...? on IBM Shipping More PCs with Trust Chips · · Score: 1

    What if this goes against a country's laws, if a country has laws in place of something like this?

  21. Re:It's A Good Thing...! on Suing Your Customers a Good Idea? · · Score: 1

    For the Canadians reading this, you may want to check out CanFLI Network

  22. It's A Good Thing...! on Suing Your Customers a Good Idea? · · Score: 1

    You know, it's a good thing I am Canadian, we don't have to deal with the various **AAs...and according to what I heard recently -- but have not checked into myself -- is that we [Canadians] are allowed to share files online due to a recent ruling.
