  1. Re:Did they plan on this? on iPod Has Nothing To Fear From Slow-Starting Zune · · Score: 1
    This plan would assume a certain amount of foresight I don't believe MS's current leadership capable of.

    I think it's more likely that they'll claim the Zune beats the iPod in a sponsored ROI study while simultaneously attempting to buy out Creative, then claim their market share has quadrupled.

  2. Re:HEY on Newt Gingrich Says Free Speech May Be Forfeit · · Score: 1
    Ah ok, we must have misunderstood "We need to restrict free speech".

    I do have to question your comprehension, as that quote doesn't appear in the article I'm reading.

    Only if you have your contact information at the bottom so that he can request, and ignored, to be removed from the mailing list.
    Ignored? There's someone at the other end reading that mail! That address just tripled in value! Yeehaw!!!

    Do they come from the same pool as their internet products?

    If I had points I would mod you up. Someone who actually read TFA.

  7. Re:Probable Cause? on RIAA Subpoenas Neighbor's Son, Calls His Employer · · Score: 1

    Altman is the attorney for the defendant Lindor.

    Raymond is the son of Ms. Lindor who had the subpoena served and the employer called.

    Has never used a computer but has an Internet account?

    Or was her name drawn out of a hat?

  9. A bold prediction... on RIAA Subpoenas Neighbor's Son, Calls His Employer · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    I'm going to predict this discussion will be full of people bitching and moaning about the employer being called, without ever reading the attached documents in TFA to discover why.

    Looks like I'm right so far.

  10. Put it in layman's terms on Microsoft Patent Deal Could Leave Novell Behind · · Score: 1

    Could someone explain in layman's terms why Novell would be barred from releasing GPLv3 licensed codeas a result of the MS deal? Is there a "Thou shalt not make deals with Microsoft" clause?

  11. Violent games in Germany on Violent Games Blamed For German School Attack · · Score: 1

    Doesn't Germany already closely regulate violence in video games?

  12. Re:neighbors on Scott Adams Suggests Bill Gates For President · · Score: 1

    Have you always been a sociopath, or is it something new you're trying out?

    Constable Clitoris ate one of those!

  14. It's not the radiation that scares me... on Space Elevators Could Be Lethal · · Score: 0, Redundant

    it's that I'll get the short straw when it comes to mutation and be the one whose tissues mutate into an orange, rocky material.

  15. Re:Not necessarily ... Dick Cheney on YouTube Removal Highlights Media Self-Censorship · · Score: 1

    I'd like for you to point out some examples of Dick Cheney actively legislating against homosexuals, other than by association.

  16. Re:Unfortunately... on Microsoft Announces TV and Movies for Xbox Live · · Score: 1

    Fair enough.

  17. Re:Hmm on Guitar Hero Is Big Hit With Bands · · Score: 1

    Guitar Hero is definitely not a tool for learning the guitar. The controller has a lever as a strummer and four buttons that simulate frets. I think there's also a whammy bar just for kicks.

  18. Re:Unfortunately... on Microsoft Announces TV and Movies for Xbox Live · · Score: 1
    Huh? The lowest price internet plan my cable company offers is 384k up and 6mb down. I usually average 700kb/s on downloads from anywhere decent.

    kb/s != KB/s

    700 kb/s = ~88 KB/s

    I hate math. And html for that matter.

  19. Re:Why does this seem to be republican-only? on Republican Robocall Pretexting Campaign · · Score: 1

    Help me out here. Try as I might, I cannot find links to any articles reporting the above accusations, other than blogs and editorials reporting similar stuff in the same vague, uninformative fashion.

    If personal responsibility and consequences for your actions applied here, the guy would still be fired. :)

    There is no rational defense of belief. Some are merely less irrational than others.

  22. Re:Does resolution matter? on Wii Confirmed at 480p · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily. There's nothing stopping anyone from producing widescreen content at standard resolutions.

    Strict interpretation of Florida law got GWB elected in the first place. Republicans need to remember that.

  25. Re:A question of intent on FBI Raids Security Researcher's Home · · Score: 1
    If I showed up at my apartment with the door unlocked, I would be rather annoyed. If I had had notes posted to my door for several years beforehand telling me my lock was insecure, and how to secure it with relative ease, and I then showed up at my apartment door to find it unlocked with a note saying "Told you so", I'd be embarassed. The key is, as long as the belongings inside are left untouched, all that's hurt here is pride. Pride is not something the law needs to be protecting.

    To correct this analogy, is it still ok to put a sign at the entrance to the apartment complex saying "Apartment 2A is unlocked"?
