  1. Re:This is probably hurting Sony in sales from ner on Sony DRM Installed Even When EULA Declined · · Score: 1

    I didn't want a PSP because it basically has no games I like (compared to Nintendo), and even if it did, I wouldn't buy it because of how it restricts you (UMD, Memorystick) even if I would have never used those features. I would stay away from MP3 players that support DRM music also, on principle.

    As for telling other people, I have told my family and friends, and asked them to pass it on (most have). Unfortunately for me my parents had just before this purchased a 32" Sony HDTV but no matter. Nothing more from Sony. I've been warning them about things such as these overbearing copy protections and why they should be afraid (you won't be able to watch that except in this player between these hours and not more than 1 yr after purchase yada yada). I hope that one day they become paranoid enough to start using tinfoil hats :)

    and a random cough from the audience

  3. Re:Well good on Federal Judge Rules Against Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    What I was trying to say is that, despite literal interpretations, the bible is vague in many senses. Considering scientific knowledge at the time of writing, that could have been the way things were conveyed, so as not to confuse people (think talking computer to Joe Sixpack) and therefore it was not entirely accurate.

  4. Re:Well good on Federal Judge Rules Against Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    parts of the bible say things about God's time, and how it can be different from our view of time. Remember, before he created night & day there was not even a definition of what a day was, or how long it was.

  5. oh shit... on Nintendo Promotes Music Piracy? · · Score: 1

    I suppose sites like purevolume support music piracy then?

    what a load of BS

  6. Re:Where can I buy VEIL clothing? on Analog Hole Legislation Formally Introduced · · Score: 1

    the camera picks up much more than just the face, they just crop it out. They do this so they don't have to move the camera around to get a good shot of you.

  7. Re:Nintendo had to do *something*... on CNN Hands-On With The Revolution · · Score: 1

    Well it would *eventually* get set right, but why not prevent such a problem? Saves a lot of trouble and delays while you prove it

  8. Re:The patent can easily be worked around! on Microsoft Wins Hyperlink TV Pause Battle · · Score: 1

    simple then: have it run in reverse at the same speed. Or rewind 2 seconds, play 2 seconds (muted), repeat till done, and finish on a 2 second rewind so you are sure not to miss anything

  9. Re:Nintendo had to do *something*... on CNN Hands-On With The Revolution · · Score: 1

    and they would have to, otherwize someone else would patent it.

    I have known it to happen, in the company my father works at had a chemical process patented out from under them.

  10. Re:Epilepsy? on E-Paper On Cereal Boxes · · Score: 2, Funny

    judging by your UID I'd say you'd be far more likely to know than me.

  11. Re:Epilepsy? on E-Paper On Cereal Boxes · · Score: 1

    I'd love for this to be used as a way to stop it, since they give me headaches. I bet you'll get complaints about that if this ever goes through.

    besides - by that time I hope to be able to avoid actually having to go to the supermarket and have my supplies shipped to me like the milk deliveries I get now

  12. Re:Can't reference Wikipedia because it changes on Wikipedia's Accuracy Compared to Britannica · · Score: 1

    "The citation should normally include the full date and time of the article revision you are using, because the page may well change radically between when you view it and when somebody else following your reference views it."

    thats from
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_Wiki pedia
    and is a standard part of formatting a citation to any webpage. Anyone checking will just have to check revision history

  13. Re:Careful with stats... on Wikipedia's Accuracy Compared to Britannica · · Score: 1

    I would propose then, to measure the ratio of acurate info to inacurate info.

    now we just have to say what qualifies as a unit of acurate information

  14. Re:Reality on Miss Digital World 2005 · · Score: 1

    well in order to explain some of the windows "features" you will need to include "epileptic" to explain the random seizures. Otherwize, you could be quite right

    OR, you can relate it to that "how to install quake on linux" thing I've seen every now and then

    great, now I can get downmodded by both the MS AND the Linux fanboys :p

    put your site into the box there and then post the link

  16. Re:Not a Microsoft Server on Microsoft and MTV to Launch Music Service · · Score: 1

    you don't necissarily have to hack the server, you can have a worm that uses spyware-like tactics of changing the hosts file. Considering anyone who uses this service wouldn't be a mac user, and probably be an inept user, the writer would probably be successful

    (engage conspirasy theory mode)
    maybe this worm will be written by the russian mafia running allofmp3.com!
    (conspirasy theory mode off)

    (I dont actually think allofmp3 is operated by the russian mafia btw)

  17. Re:Sad on Microsoft and MTV to Launch Music Service · · Score: 1

    "ROMS manages intellectual rights in the Russian Federation. All third party distributors licensed by ROMS are required to pay a portion of the revenue to the ROMS. ROMS in turn, is obligated to pay most of that money (aside from small portion it needs for operating expenses) to artists. Both Russian and foreign."

  18. Justify it as well on Paramount Sues Ohio Man For $100,000 · · Score: 1

    I would justify having an open WAP - for use with NintendoDS wifi play. That way you can actually say you have an open WAP without implying you know how to secure it but still left it open for no apparent reason.

    Personally, I'd do that with 2 routers (if you actually use the wireless) 1 encrypted with WPA so no one can sniff your traffic, and one open for your gaming.

  19. Re:How 'bout some real sugar on Coca-Cola's Coffee Soda · · Score: 1

    Hmm... maybe this is why RC cola tastes better than coke/pepsi (does RC cola use real sugar?)

  20. Re:+1, Ironic on NewsWeek Looks at Search Engine Optimization · · Score: 1

    you should watch it, if this one gets 0wned like the one you linked, you'll get twice the downmods... /me isn't posting anonymously anyway

    no it doesn't, but I got a random popup once also. Not frequent (thank god) but still, a popup??

  22. Re:Such News!! on Hacker Team Releases First 360 ISO · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Its a DVD not an HD-DVD that the Xbox 360 uses

    no.

    you don't even need to RTFA, its in the damn summary

  24. Re:XBox CPU? on Are three cores better than two? · · Score: 1

    wait, wasn't the Xbox 360 3 dual-core processors? or was it just 3 HT processors (still looks like 6 processors to OS)
