  1. but remember kids on EU Record Companies Push to Extend Copyright · · Score: -1, Redundant

  2. Re:4 words on Microsoft's Music Subscription Service · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Easy , Microsoft have been convicted of abusing their monopoly making them an illegal monopoly . They are using it to break into other markets and the courts do nothing apparently.
    Apple has a large majority in portable and online music for that player (the same market) microsoft have a monopoly on OSs and are using that monopoly to push into another market

  3. Re:4 words on Microsoft's Music Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    Before anyone says "but apple" ,
    Apple do not have a monopoly , they may have very large market share in the portable music market but it is by no means a monopoly.
    Microsoft have a monopoly on desktop computing and i am fairly sure they will include this by default in longhorn with plenty of ads on it , Hearsay thus far but i wouldn't put it past them

  7. Re:So what's going to be the big draw to this? on Simpsons Film in Preproduction · · Score: 1

    ;) but is the capital city of Oregon called Capital city . Maybe it was based around Oregon with a touch of some of the places surrounding new York and some Texas thrown in for good measure but i don't think it was actually meant to in any real place

  8. Re:So what's going to be the big draw to this? on Simpsons Film in Preproduction · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Its in a generic state , Unless you can show me a state where the capital city is named Capital City with a baseball mascot called the goof-ball .
    It was never intended to actually exist in any state of the USA but exist in all .

  9. Re:So what's going to be the big draw to this? on Simpsons Film in Preproduction · · Score: 2, Informative

  13. In other realms on Gamer Killed For Virtual Property · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Neighbours shoot each other over fence posts , Wives kill husbands for working too much ,People kill each other over football games ,people kill themselves over exams ...
    people some times take things far too seriously , so lets just hope people realise this and don't call for the banning of games due to the lunatic fringe who can't grasp reality

  14. Re:PHP vs JSP on A Decade of PHP · · Score: 1

    True enough , but for orderly code it helps and gives a slight impresion of it , which is all i really ment

  15. Re:PHP vs JSP on A Decade of PHP · · Score: 1

    You can Declare variables in PHP its not needed but you can do it $blah = 1 ; $String = " " . and you can even give them a type by doing it $floatvar = 1.1.
    It's not needed as noted , but if it helps you use the language then it's easy enough to imitate it .

  16. Re:Cha-ching. on Canada To Introduce Copyright Law Next Week · · Score: 1
