  1. Re:So this implies... on Judge Thinks Linking To Copyrighted Material Should Be Illegal · · Score: 1

    Every time someone chats with a friend about the day's news, a poor, helpless newspaper loses money. And God kills a kitten.

    Win-win!

  2. Re:It is better to travel hopefully on Why Don't MMOs Allow Easier Transportation? · · Score: 1

    cup holders can be purchased at higher levels, or stolen if you are a rouge character

    Damn commies!

  3. Re:Automated transportation on Why Don't MMOs Allow Easier Transportation? · · Score: 1

    If it is more interesting to have a bot play instead of you all the time, then the game simply sucks.

    Who said it was more interesting?

  4. Re:What will happen on Iran Tries To Pacify Protesters With Lord of The Rings Marathon · · Score: 1

    In the end, they are just politicians. Highly corrupt, brutal politicians, but politicians nonetheless.

    You could have just left it as 'they are just politicians'.

  5. Re:this is dumb on Lenovo Software Update Stealthily Installs Adware · · Score: 1

    I wish MS would step in and stop them from ruining otherwise decent laptops.

    As much as I hate all that crap, I wouldn't wish that in a million years.

  6. Re:Too many possible factors on How To Get Out of Developer's Block? · · Score: 1

    Afraid of zombies in red jackets dancing if you fail to finish the project?

    It's like you read my mind! Zombies are psychic are they?

    Go to bed early, next to a window facing East. Wake up in sunlight.

    I live at the South Pole you insensitive clod!

    I can't say I trust them enough to not let malware through.

  9. Re:Oh noes!!!1!!! on Australian Web Filter To Censor Downloaded Games · · Score: 1

    Not that I agree with the filter in any way whatsoever, but there is a difference between an unrated game and a game that has been refused classification.

  10. Re:It just makes so much sense on Australian Web Filter To Censor Downloaded Games · · Score: 1

    Will they be blocking violent movies too? What about violent books and song lyrics?

    I wouldn't put it past them, no.

  11. Re:The important point on Atari Sub-Sub-Contractor Used ScummVM For Wii Game · · Score: 1

    Why are you apologising to Russia, when the country in question is Ukraine?

  12. Re:It's only copyright on Atari Sub-Sub-Contractor Used ScummVM For Wii Game · · Score: 1

    My views.

    Neither are OK.

    Profit or no, damages should include what the licence is asking for. In the case of Thomas, $24, in the case of Atari, code.
    In the case of infringement for profit, the revenue generated by the infraction should be added to the damages.

    In addition to these damages, there should be a punitive fine that is large enough to make the infringer think twice before infringing again, but small enough to not mean financial ruin.

  13. Re:How exactly? on Atari Sub-Sub-Contractor Used ScummVM For Wii Game · · Score: 1

    Yes it is required. There is no requirement for a publisher to release changes to public domain code.
    Without copyright law, the world would be like the BSD licence, but without the attribution.

  14. Re:No Overlap? on ZeniMax, Parent Company of Bethesda, Buys id Software · · Score: 2, Interesting

    iD Tech 5 is is supposed to be able to do large outdoor spaces just fine.

  15. Re:I'm not sure about this on Firefox 3.5RC2 Performance In Windows Vs. Linux · · Score: 1

    No matter how bleeding edge Ubuntu may seem, it is very unlikely that Canonical would ship a Beta version or Release Candidate of Firefox

    8.04 shipped with Firefox 3 beta 5.

  16. Re:The ultimate irony on Kodak Kills Kodachrome · · Score: 1

    but we have documents that are more than 2000 years old. There is no guarantee that we'll have our digital works 2000 years from now

    And 2000 years ago there was no guarantee that those works would survive for 2000 years. And there's no guarantee that your Kodachrome photos will survive for 2000 years either. Chances are neither they nor the digital ones will, unless you make something people actually care about, in which case the digital is more likely to survive, since it is simple to copy and convert.

  17. Re:What if we take away too much wind? on Wind Could Provide 100% of World Energy Needs · · Score: 1

    What do we do when all you can see are wind turbines wherever you look?

  21. Re:What a crock on Senators To Examine Exclusive Handset Deals · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And this is exactly what should be happening. The carrier can develop technologies such as these to differentiate themselves from their competition, instead of relying on phone manufacturers. There is no reason they couldn't have done this without the iPhone. Phone manufacturers would much rather add features such as these to their phones, instead of the current situation of having to remove features because the networks demand it.
