  1. Re:If We're Going To Patent Software... on Microsoft Patents the Mother of All Adware · · Score: 0

    I actually hope that Microsoft does the good thing here and becomes a patent troll regarding this idea.
    Basically holding the patent and not developing on the idea and not letting anyone else infringe on it.
    But this is Microsoft we are talking about.

  2. Good news... on Plants 'Recognize' Their Siblings · · Score: 0

    This is great news for Robert Plant.... oh, sorry wrong plant.

  3. Re:When you buy a new PC... on Man Sues Gateway Because He Can't Read EULA · · Score: 0

    Actually, thanks to this guy, every Gateway purchaser will have to listen to a .WAV of the EULA played through the speakers (including the motherboard P.O.S.T speaker)

    Only if I can listen to it in Morse code.
  4. 12 Minutes?!? on The 12-minute Windows Heist · · Score: 0

    I figure that number would be closer to 0 now, espically when Microsoft is buying / bought Claria.

  5. hmmm.... on TiVo Buys Six New Patents From IBM · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Patent No. 5,872,588: Method and apparatus for monitoring audio-visual materials presented to a subscriber

    I guess I'll need a tin-foil hat for my TIVO now.

    Just give them your hand or foot.

    1. "Thanks for shopping at Walmart. Um, my system shows that you have a toaster oven in your shirt?"

    ummm... I guess that's better than "Is that a toaster in your pants, or are you happy to see me?"
  9. Maybe Microsoft can help on Metafor: Translating Natural Language to Code · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If Metafor cannot handle bad spelling or grammer, then maybe using MS Word to do it for you will help. This is ment to be a joke, and not insightful.

  10. hmmmm on The World's Most Devious Alarm Clock · · Score: 1

    Why does the clock look like a chia-pet that no one has watered in a week?

  11. Maybe I am wishing here.... on MIT Urges Brazilian Government to Use Linux · · Score: 1, Insightful

    but maybe in the near future there will be a headline:

    MIT Urges World Governments to Use Linux

  12. Here in Canada on Attempt to Apply Decency Standards to Cable/Satellite Television · · Score: 0

    We have the CBC, and I've yet to see them censor anything.

    I do enjoy watch the French CBC station in the middle of the night, there is some interesting French "soft porn" that comes on.

  13. Decency or censorship on Attempt to Apply Decency Standards to Cable/Satellite Television · · Score: 0

    If anything has ever seen the TBS version of "The Breakfast Club" will notice that a good chunk of the movie is replaced with bad voice overs and pieces missing.

    I realize that the movie is going on 20 years old, but couldn't they re-release it.

    On a side note, I do find the TBS version very funny with the obvious voice overs.

  14. Its too bad... on Software Patents Could Stop EU Linux Development · · Score: 3, Insightful

    that this couldn't read "Software Patents Could Stop EU Mircosoft Development"

  15. What about... on GlobalFlyer 'Round The World Solo Flight Takes Off · · Score: 0

    the spaceshuttle? Doesn't it do the roundtrip thing without refueling also. I am sure that one person flies it at a time too (not including the nav or anyone). And it does this in much less than 80 hours. Or is the spaceshuttle not in the same category?

  19. Re:A lot of the problem is bad design on Online Trust Failing Overall · · Score: 1

    hmmm. iDownload (one of my personal favorite spyware companies) is listed on the www.bbb.org

    I wouldn't give them a Credit Card # / Personel information / Time of day if my life counted on it.

    Works everytime.... enjoy

  23. Mailing Address? on iDownload Tries to Silence Spyware Critics · · Score: 1

    I was wondering if the cease and desist letter sent has a valid mailing address, or is the return letter to iDownload going to come back as not deliverable or something. And if there is an address, does it match the address given on iDownload's website? Then again, if I was the owner of iDownload, I wouldn't open any of mail either. I suggest that somebody find these people, and throw them in "Pound-me-in-the-ass" prison and have someone turn their ass-holes into man-holes

  24. Re:Football? on Canadian Privacy Law v. E-Mail Harvesting · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't call the players here second rate. I've seen good NFL'ers get their butts kicked (espically the O and D lines) or look very mediocre. I think its because the rules are very different (1 yard buffer between lines, 1 less man on the field, much larger field). Just my $0.02.

    Last I heard Karhi Jones was making $950,000 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2004, since he has moved to Calgary he could be making more / less the same.
