  1. Re:Treason on FISA Bill Vote Today, With Telco Immunity · · Score: 1

    It's now "by the people, for the people (with money)."

  2. Re:IT'S NOT ILLEGAL on FISA Bill Vote Today, With Telco Immunity · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    The roll call is not available on Thomas yet though. They'll never post it. It's a matter of national security against terrorists!
  3. Re:Lets take a quick guess. on Electronic Transaction Reporting Slipped Into Senate Bill · · Score: 1

    Yea, those dopplegangers are a real pain in the ass.

  4. Re:Thank you. on Firefox 3 Release On Tuesday · · Score: 1

    That's usually the first thing I do. For reasons unknown, it doesn't do anything for the Shift+Enter "feature"

  5. Re:Thank you. on Firefox 3 Release On Tuesday · · Score: 1

    Call it what you want, I still want the ability to turn it off without having to hunt down an extension.

  6. Re:Pennsylvania and Ohio solid blue for Obama? on Prediction Markets and the 2008 Electoral Map · · Score: 1

    Support doesn't mean he'll push a law through. And I really doubt any sort of law like that would ever get to his desk, what with the second amendment and NRA lobbying.

    Everyone will probably default to the standard "let the States handle it" statement.

  8. Re:In the US no one wants to buy light cars on Efficiency? Think Racing Cars, Not Hybrids · · Score: 1

    Easy.

    If you splat yourself on a road that I happen to need to drive on, that's going to impact my commute time while EMT's move your unconscious body (assuming you didn't kill yourself with head trauma). At least with a helmet, you have a chance of keeping some sense about you and getting out of the middle of the road.

    Not to mention the small (albeit very small) chance that another vehicle flings road debris at you, causing a similar situation.

    I would if I could find my red stapler...

    Oooo.. Sorry, you barely missed him. He just walked out.

  11. Re:lol mccain on How Tech-Savvy Will the Next President Be? · · Score: 1

    McCain: Supports increased broadband access via competition rather than government regulation. Actually, that was the one thing that got me about Ron Paul (and his supporters on slashdot). Paul has nearly the exact same view, with more of a "it's their stuff, let them do what they want" stance.
  12. June 2-6 on June Gaming Sees Host of Releases · · Score: 1

    The articles title: "Shippin' Out June 2-6..."

    Did I miss a memo where June has been reduced to a week?

  13. Re:People don't learn from history on Barack Obama Wins Democratic Nomination · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Thank you for demonstrating once more that politics is about childish selfishness at its base.
    Fixed that for you.
  14. Re:written contract on Ninja Gaiden's Itagaki Leaves Tecmo, Sues for Damages · · Score: 1

    Ninja Gaiden Sigma would be a good example.
    He had nothing to do with the port, due to his contempt of the PS3.

  15. Re:How many people benefit? on To Whom Should I Donate? · · Score: 1

    I would like to donate to OpenBSD once in a while, I really do.
    However, the idea of cutting a personal check to Theo has never sat well with me.

  16. Double Spacing? on Breaking the Fermilab Code · · Score: 1

    I did a quick scan of the two linked methods and both seem to ignore the double spacing between the 1's on lines 4 and 5 (possibly 6).  It's most noticable when comparing lines 3 and 4:
    1 111
    1  1

    ******** smells ***. I don't follow...
  18. That 13 year old kid... on Gaming Gear Showdown, Simplicity vs. Hype · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Honestly, I've never really cared about beating that 13 year-old kid.

    I always take the stance that I'm an adult who works 40+ hours a week and has other responsibilities that take my time. The kid likely plays every waking moment. The fact I can come close to beating him with significantly less practice says something about my skill at the game. Or the kid's.

    Then again, ignorance is bliss.

  19. Re:Feh. on MADD Targets GTA IV Over Drunk Driving Scene · · Score: 1

    Just like those goggles they made you wear in High School Driver's Ed to simulate "drunkeness"?

  20. Re:Shades of Gray on The State Of Grayware On the PC · · Score: 1

    Now all we need is something for "blueware" and we can use the entire color space to describe a computer program. Software that cause a BSOD?

    So where does the other 49 states fit into that "cute chart"?
  22. Re:Meanwhile ... In Neighboring Microsoftia on Sony Thinks Blu-ray Will Sell Like DVDs by Year End · · Score: 1

    Honestly, I'd take Blu-ray any day of the week over Microsoft's digital download services.
    With a Blur-Ray disc, I can put it in any blu-ray player and it will (theoretically) work. My experience with MS's service (via the Xbox 360) is that it's a DRM laden crapshoot.

    I had a roommate download a movie on his 360 (located in his room). However, he wanted to watch it (as did the rest of us) in the living room on the HDTV. You would think that pulling the HDD and putting it into the 360 on the HDTV would work (since it's the same HDD and same Xbox Live account). No dice.
    Different device serial number == No movie (despite the account being the same).
