  1. Re:Finally on Internet Movies Before DVD · · Score: 1

    I'm not talking about anyone who makes something even approaching 100k. I'm talking about grips and AITSE folk. They're luck if they top out at 30k/year.

  2. Re:Finally on Internet Movies Before DVD · · Score: 1

    I saw this as someone's sig and I'm stealing it. "Information wants to be free. Entertainment wants to be paid. You just want to be cheap." That's level of piracy is just disqusting. I am a cinephile and watch 8 or 9 movies a week routnley; some are netflix, some are mine, some are my friends, none are bootleg or pirated.

    Watch the credits sometime, it takes hundreds of people to make a movie, and not all of them are the uber-rich movie star types. Many of them are plain, blue collar guys making a living. When you pirate a movie, that extended loss of income over hundreds of thousands of instances of piracy ends up costing people jobs.


    I still download music, not that I can explain that one... *shrugs*

  3. Re:Huh? on Google to Release Firefox Toolbar · · Score: 1

    Of course they have a button for it, well two actually; ctrl+f. This toolbar is redundant. The googlebar and firefox itself offere everything that a google toolbar would hope to give us.

  4. Pac-Man on Columbine Student on VG Violence · · Score: 2, Funny

    Video games don't influence children; otherwise the 80s would have been full of teens sitting in the dark listening to techno and popping pills...

  5. Interns... on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 1

    It'll be a big problem when he shows his lightsaber to an intern. Jedi-stock?

  6. Old Idea on Homebrew Air Conditioning for Under $25 · · Score: 1

    I have a better plan, and a cheaper one too. Big block of ice + fan = AC. Just cause he has high tech ice... and his keeps your floor dry...

  7. HG2G on Robotic Bins and Benches in Cambridge · · Score: 1

    Necessary cliche.

  8. Re:This is great on Settlement Proposed in iPod Class Action Suit · · Score: 1

    Yea, you make $50 for a $99 battery...

  9. Obligitary Blue Screen Comment on HP Announces National Id System Built on .NET · · Score: 1

    The only problem with this plan is that a blue screen could hold up the border for hours...

  10. Re:no more TLDs, please on Government Finishes Internet Study -- 7 years late · · Score: 1

    Then there is the delightful irony that Tuvalu's own website is not on the .tv...

  11. Re:no more TLDs, please on Government Finishes Internet Study -- 7 years late · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A couple new TLDs could be good. If they created a .sex domain it would make porn sights much easier to block. I agree that something like .museum is necessary but a couple that sector off specific parts of the net people want to steer their children or employees clear of would be good.

  12. Fingerprints on What Will We Do With Innocent People's DNA? · · Score: 1

    I see no reason that an arrested, and booked (that's important), person's DNA should not stay on file. There is no outcry that they keep a person's fingerprints on file. How is DNA all that different?

  13. Doesn't this exist in some form? on Wisconsin Governor Proposing Tax On Downloads · · Score: 1

    If you live in the state that's the same as the store you're buying from don't you pay already? In Washington I believe I pay tax when I buy from amazon.com.

    Also, if it does end up being that you pay the tax for the state the store is in, do people from OR (or other states w/o sales tax) get that tax refunded??

  14. Wings on Human Animal Hybrid Created in Lab · · Score: 1

    When do I get my wings?

  15. Mirrordot on New Standard Keyboard · · Score: 1
  16. New lines? on US Stem Cells Contaminated · · Score: 1

    Bush said that the lines allowed in the 2001 order, and those that have been being used since would be sufficient. If they are, as it seems, useless then it would stand to logic that new lines are in order. Maybe he will see the light, what can I say except, hope springs eternal.
