  1. Re:It's copying. It's not theft. on Patti Santangelo v. RIAA May Be Over · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    As long as the legal copyright holders are legally entitled to payment for the right to a copy, and you make that copy without paying, it's theft. The meaning is clear. If you don't like that you need to change the copyright laws.

  2. Re:All HD DVD players have a network port on First AACS Blu-Ray/HD-DVD Key Revoked · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm beginning to think all the whining in this thread is just TV envy from the poor schmoes with the tiny screens.

  3. Re:All HD DVD players have a network port on First AACS Blu-Ray/HD-DVD Key Revoked · · Score: 0, Troll

    Keep throwing FUD at the wall.

    Eventually you'll find something that sticks.

  4. Re:So let me summarize on Asus.com Compromised With Exploit Code · · Score: 1

    That's interesting. I've always seen Asus as a high-end performance enthusiast mainboard manufacturer.

  5. Is there a better way? on PowerPoint Bad For Learning · · Score: 2, Funny

    I prefer Steve Ballmer's method of interpretive dance.

  6. Re:Is it just me that thought on VBootkit Bypasses Vista's Code Signing · · Score: 1

    And yet they couldn't be bothered to show the exploit running on final code.

  7. Re:Good job everyone! on Steve Jobs Announces (some) DRM-free iTunes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As of right now, AllofMP3 is still up. /shrug

  8. Re:Brilliant. on Science Fair Project Exposes GlaxoSmithKline Lies · · Score: 2, Funny

    This story made the front page on Slashdot, thus almost ensuring that the general public knows nothing of it.

  9. Re:ok I'll bite on Wikipedia and the Politics of Verification · · Score: 1

    I responded to a poster below to challenge his assertion that left wing people didn't threaten the lives of politicians. I of course used the Baldwin rant from Conan O'Brien about Henry Hyde. Interestingly enough, I got it straight off his Wiki page. Fair enough?

  10. Re:ok I'll bite on Wikipedia and the Politics of Verification · · Score: 1
    Alec Baldwin on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, December 11, 1998:

    if we were in another country... we would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and kill their wives and their children. We would kill their families"

    Now clearly it was a setup joke, and when someone like Hannity plays the clip as he loves to do he leaves out some exposition immediately before it, but I'd argue this is still well outside the boundary of good taste.

  11. Re:hang on - *without* prejudice? on RIAA Receives Stern Letter, Folds · · Score: 1

    Would such a thing be legal?

  12. Re:Link? on Voters Vote Yes, County Says No · · Score: 1

    That narrow interpretation of the Second Amendment just went up in smoke.

  13. Re:Clarification on Maker of Anti-Clinton Video Outed, Loses Job · · Score: 1

    First election: What law was broken? Second election: Which tally?

  14. Re:2 words for my business on The Future of Creative and the Sound Card Market · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hell, I'd be happy with Vista drivers.

  15. What's the point? on Microsoft Tracks Down Mass Fake Web Pages · · Score: 1

    What was the point of this effort? To improve its own search results? To show up Google?

  16. Re:XP x64 as well on Microsoft Quietly Releases Windows 2003 SP2 · · Score: 1

    I can't seem to find the "-1: FUD" on my moderation screen.

  17. Re:Irony on Five Things You Can't Discuss about Linux · · Score: 2, Funny

    Someone's been listening to too many Netflix commercials.

  18. Re:Obligatory Monty Python Reference... on Intel to Sample Flash-killer PRAM This Year · · Score: 1

    Fuck, beaten.

    As usual.

  19. Re: Yes, the *real* terrorists have won on Captain America Dead at 66 · · Score: 1

    I think he realized that his actions (taking a super-powered war to the streets) were proving the pro-registration side right.

  20. Re: Yes, the *real* terrorists have won on Captain America Dead at 66 · · Score: 1

    It's worth pointing out that Civil War ended with Captain America surrendering after realizing the pro-registration side was right.

  21. Re:confusing on Captain America Dead at 66 · · Score: 1

    Hank Pym being a wife beater is actually quite canonical. He's a messed up individual in any universe.

  22. Re:Dead at 66? on Captain America Dead at 66 · · Score: 1

    DC has done this on more than one occasion. The story you're most likely thinking of is Crisis on Infinite Earths.

  23. Re:They would have found it sooner... on $100k For Kenobi's Cloak · · Score: 1

    Question. This article had been posted for over an hour before your post.

    How could you not know that this joke would have been done 5 times already?

  24. Re:Walk the Walk. on Copyright Law Used to Shut Down Site · · Score: 1

    Actually, in Australia computers are powered by a delicious concoction of Foster's and Vegemite.

  25. Re:No mention of DRM on Is Vista a Trap? · · Score: 2, Funny

    In point of fact, I think they're scrumptious.
