  1. Re:Too little too late... on 35 Articles of Impeachment Introduced Against Bush · · Score: 1

    Our support was garnered with lies.

  2. Re:awesomebar on Mozilla Firefox 3 Features Screencast · · Score: 1

    Because enough people like it in the main product?

  3. Re:Comparisons on Phoronix Releases Linux Benchmarking Platform · · Score: 1

    For this test, I believe that all tests ARE run under the same conditions (same flags) on every machine.

  4. Re:You're a good example of why America is so scre on EBay Pressured To Block Sales of Ivory Products · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ... sigh...
    Do you EVER listen to people?
    A) there is more to gun ownership than killing people
    B) outlawing guns will do NOTHING to ensure that the police will be better armed than whoever they're about to encounter. You know, the whole "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns" thing.

  5. Re:Serious flaw in his thinking on No, David Pogue, Ebook Piracy Is Not a Given · · Score: 0

    Dear SoupIsGoodFood:
    we don't need you anymore

  6. FINALLY on Phoronix Releases Linux Benchmarking Platform · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A proper benchmark program for linux. Trying it now :D

  7. Re:Hurray? on OCZ's Brain Mouse Hits the Store · · Score: 1

    That doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't function as a standard HID device. I would love to see them port this to linux, if it doesn't already work. I would buy one JUST to support the company for making a linux version.

  8. Hurray? on OCZ's Brain Mouse Hits the Store · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Hurrah? O.o
    This sounds interesting, at least. I wonder if it works on linux. Seriously. Does it work as a standard HID device?

  9. Re:Shouldn't have publicized it on their blog on MediaDefender's BitTorrent-Based DOS Takes Down Revision3 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here's the thing: most of the time, those small, single people who get sued have dynamic IPs. MD does not, almost guaranteed. It would be pretty stupid to give a 9gb/s links a dynamic ip address, which means that the ambiguity inherent in dhcp-assigned ip addresses is gone. Also, the RIAA and MPAA have sued people who, in one case, were dead, and in another, didn't even own a computer. They just keep pulling names out of their asses.

  10. Re:Taxes on Private Donor Saves Fermilab · · Score: 1

    What good is going for the budget you want when you know that the president will veto it, because war is god. In other words, even they might be democrats, they know there's no point in going against the president.

  11. Re:I Think It's A Good Idea on Amusement Park Bans PDAs and Smartphones · · Score: 1

    Yes, but i have exactly one phone. An old treo 650 with a borked P key. If I have to choose between not going to the park or paying for another, LESS FUNCTIONAL phone so that I can keep in touch at the park, guess which one I'm gonna choose?

  12. Re:Yes I'd like to see that on Group Wants Wi-Fi Banned, Citing Allergy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Who wants to bet that these people have a 2.4GHz cordless phone in their home? That operates on almost the EXACT same frequency as wifi. If they're not 'allergic' to those, they're not allergic to wi-fi. Chances are, these are just some gullible idiots who heard that wi-fi 'emits radiation'. If they're that afraid of the little bit of radiation emitted by a wireless router, then they should be more afraid of a microwave and tv.

  13. Good on 5th Circuit May Stop Patent Troll "Forum Shopping" · · Score: -1

    Maybe this will stop some of the ridiculous patent trolling.

  14. Re:Or you could just breed your dog on Get the Family Dog Cloned · · Score: 1

    That's not really a sign of loyalty. the dog thinks "Oh my god, it's that guy!! He gives me food!! Yay!!"

  15. Re:No Big Deal on Microsoft Helps Police Crack Your Computer · · Score: 1

    I don't mind if tools are being used - but when the company that someone buys something from gives them a defective product (as in windows, since it seems that this takes advantage of security flaws) and then goes and gives someone else a way to exploit the defects in their own product, that's just wrong.

  16. Re:I got $5 on fail, anyone want some? on Senate Proposal To Clarify 'State Secrets' Doctrine · · Score: 1

    Kinda like how the question most likely to be answered in any e-mail is the last one...

  17. Re:Standing on End of the Internet's Tax-Free Ride? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I thought that was in the constitution... nothing supersedes constitutional law.

  18. Re:those wars have to be paid for somehow on End of the Internet's Tax-Free Ride? · · Score: 1

    And why, exactly, are WE paying for something WE opposed? Why are we paying for things to make the rich richer? That's WRONG. I don't care who you are; if you have a soul, you know that that's wrong!

  19. Re:If the Democrats were economically progressive on End of the Internet's Tax-Free Ride? · · Score: 1

    Not stupid, just never thought about it. Literally. NEVER gave a thought to it.

  20. Re:If the Democrats were economically progressive on End of the Internet's Tax-Free Ride? · · Score: 1

    Holy shit, I never thought about the fact that a sales is a 'double tax'.

  21. Re:Standing on End of the Internet's Tax-Free Ride? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Isn't this illegal, since only the feds can regulate interstate commerce?

  22. Re:EU is picking winners: Why. on Should Microsoft Be Excluded From EU Government Sales? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Everyone, because they'll probably settle on something open, such as Linux, OpenOffice, and MySQL.

  23. Re:Big Problem for MSFT on Should Microsoft Be Excluded From EU Government Sales? · · Score: 1

    If this happens, will it have as big of an effect on the MSFT bottom line as I hope/think?

  24. Re:Hope they are not wasting much money on this. on Researchers Create an Automatic Backup Band for Singers · · Score: 1

    yeah, thing is, if I wanna buy, say, a cd of Dvorak "New World Symphony" I can't go to a store around here.

  25. Re:Hope they are not wasting much money on this. on Researchers Create an Automatic Backup Band for Singers · · Score: 1

    Yeah, not that easy for me, sorry!
