  1. More people downloaded from radiohead's site on Name-Your-Cost Radiohead Album Pirated More Than Purchased · · Score: 2, Informative

    FTA: "Over the following days, the file was downloaded about 100,000 more times each day--adding up to more than 500,000 total illegal downloads.

    That's less than the 1.2 million legitimate online sales of the album reported by the British Web site Gigwise.com."

    So, where does the alternate interpretation in the /. abstract come from? Seriously, wha?

  2. Hemp for America on Strange Bedfellows Fight Ethanol Subsidies · · Score: 1

    Okay, start growing hemp to replace the use of corn. That stuff will grow anywhere, as I understand it. Any fallow field would do, and there are plenty of those. Biomass a plenty...

  3. Insanely great music you can own for free, legally on The Insanely Great Songs Apple Won't Let You Hear · · Score: 1

    'Course, it kinda has to be your thing, but that goes without saying.
    This is just what I'm listening to now: http://www.archive.org/details/mtk165
    Click up in the right corner to ge to where you can browse their whole collection.
    Anyway...

  4. Re:First Amendment on Bill to Treat Bloggers as Lobbyists Defeated · · Score: 1

    Nope. Money is a form of coersion. Paid speech = coerced speech, antithetical to free speech. Of course, does this have any bearing on the artist recipients of Macarthur fellowships I saw on Charlie Rose last night?

  5. Oh. A subject, huh? on The Dreamcast's Final Death · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I didn't know they still made games for the DC anywhere. I didn't know that the arcade NAOMI hardware ran off of GDROM... Anyway, Dynamite Deka 2 is a sweet game (Dynamite Cop to those who may be familiar with the American Release), so I hope they keep it going. I'd love to see a Deka EX avaliable, whatever that is. I love my dreamcast. I play Worms on it all the time, and still play Sonic Adventure and Rayman 2 occasionally. Bust-A-Move 4 and Mr. Driller, also, for real. Man, I think I'm going to play some Typing of the Dead, directly. I just wish I bought some more backup units when they were bundled used at GameStop for $14.95....

  6. Fresh, yo. on Did Producer Timbaland Steal From the Demoscene? · · Score: 1

    Haha. Timbaland steals seven-year-old beats. Way to keep it fresh, buddy.

  7. Re:Succeeded? on Star Trek Legacy Review · · Score: 1

    The Commodore version of this seemed pretty sweet, not that I got to play that much of it. Fun ship to ship battles were as far as I got.

  8. Illegal U-turn on Man Used MP3 Player To Hack Cash Machines · · Score: 1

    Well, this is why you only break one law at a time...

  9. Translation Issues on Half-Life 3 on the XBox 360? · · Score: 1

    Hmm, maybe the Spanish translators had issues and its actually just Halo 3 being developed for the XBOX360....

  10. Re:Did no one think on Grizzly-sized Catfish Caught in Thailand · · Score: 1
  11. Re:does not compute on Pharm-Bot Goes On Rampage · · Score: 2, Funny

    MED-II-CATE!!

  12. UCB? on A New Way to Grow Bones · · Score: 1

    Upright Citizen's Brigade.. anyone?

  13. Re:Jetpacks. Weapon Radar. on The Perfect Halo 3 · · Score: 1

    forgive the crudity of my model. Weapon Radar

  14. Jetpacks. Weapon Radar. on The Perfect Halo 3 · · Score: 1

    I submit rechargable jetpacks in the style of the old DOS action platforming classic, Jetpack. Recharge pads or mats around the levels would create a nice gameplay dynamic, don't you think? Falling in holes sucks too. Also, has anyone had trouble picking up the weapon they wanted out of a pile? I've adjusted after a while, but I still think a HUD "weapon radar" with X button pickup would be nice. A radius display would appear, your crosshair representing Player from above, icons appearing for weapons around you as the lay on the ground. It would then be a short tap of the left stick to step over and grab it. Of course, these would only appear when you wanted to pick something up. And stuff.

  15. Re:Hmmm... on Surgeons Use Gaming to Improve Skills · · Score: 1

    http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&safe=off &client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&q =+site:www.don.laabs.com+life+and+death+pc I loved the first life and death as a kid. Never got anywhere close to successful as a surgeon, but I did like carving pictures in peoples stomachs.

  16. Re:Good, this levels the playing field on Lexmark's DMCA-Abuse Case Coming To An End · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I had the exact same experience with a Lexmark inkjet. uhn.
