  1. So? on RIAA Brief Attacks Free Software Foundation · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The RIAA is an organization dedicated to maximizing restrictions on copying, redistribution, and modifying music. They have a virulent, though perhaps less open, bias against music customers; and are blatantly biased for the record companies.

  2. Re:Theft? on Grad Student Project Uses Wikis To Stash Data, Miffs Admins · · Score: 1

    Perhaps, but if you don't lock your door, it's not breaking and entering, just entering. Theft is another matter.

  3. Re:Pokemon on Strange Glitches In Games · · Score: 1

    Of course it would start working right after I post... http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mew_glitch

  4. Re:Pokemon on Strange Glitches In Games · · Score: 1

    No, the Nintendo events were the only way to get a legitimate Mew without abusing a glitch. Since Bulbapedia seems to be down, the best site I can find is http://errors.wikia.com/wiki/Pokemon_Blue_and_Red-_Mew_Glitch

  5. Re:If you're gonna say it..... on Anonymous Blogger Outed By Politician · · Score: 1

    Could I have your real name to back that up?

  6. Re:140 Characters? on The Copyrightability of Twitter Posts · · Score: 4, Funny

    So, everything on one page?

  7. Re:Wrong Wrong Wrong on The Pirate Bay Comes To Facebook · · Score: 1

    Legally, you would have the right to distribute it. You would need some damn good proof it was randomness that produced it for there to be any decent chance of it holding up in court, though.

  8. Re:Diskless Movie Playback on the Wii on Wii System Menu 4.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Sure, but only without sound.

  9. Re:At least with a bootleg item you get something. on eBay Describes the Scale of Its Counterfeit Goods Problem · · Score: 0, Redundant

    whoops, posting to remove an accidental redundant mod.

  10. Re:Pornographic? on Activists Use Wikipedia To Test Aussie Net Censors · · Score: 1

    Isn't it obvious? They're not wearing clothes!

  11. Re:Gun Point? on Feds Demand Prison For Guns N' Roses Uploader · · Score: 1

    If the work HASN'T been released how is it copyright infringement because NO ONE has been authorized to reproduce it.

    Because the law says so?

  12. Re:We're all athiests, but ... on Oklahoma, Vatican Take Opposite Tacks On Evolution · · Score: 1

    I think there are some polytheists that would like to have a word or two with you.

  13. Re:Digital distribution is not to save $$$ on How Much Longer Will Physical Game Distribution Survive? · · Score: 1

    If you ever thought it wasn't about making money, you were deluding yourself.

  14. Re:My heart leaped on Judge Orders Record Company Execs To Duluth · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah, but it's in Michigan, not Minnesota. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell,_Michigan Also, the high today is forecasted to be 27 F, so yeah, frozen over.

  15. Re:Mario Kart?? on The Most Influential Games In History? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Also, I can only assume whoever posted that on Kotaku either didn't read the quote, or has a very short memory. They claim a few paragraphs below the quote that the list was NOT judged on fun.

  16. Re:Mario Kart?? on The Most Influential Games In History? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief, Craig Glenday, said of the selection process: "We knew this would be a complex task so we invited a crack team of industry experts to form a judging panel - and the result is a "top 50" list of games ranked both on their importance and on how fun they are to play."

    Emphasis mine.

    Including fun totally skews the results, since it knocks off games like ET for the Atari 2600, while adding on games that aren't that influential, but the judges just liked.

  17. Re:Microsoft confirms it! on Microsoft Sees Linux As Bigger Competitor Than Apple · · Score: 3, Funny

    Perhaps, but isn't this kinda a bad context to bring up lynching?

  18. Re:I Believe in censorship. on Appeals Court Strikes Down California's Violent Game Ban · · Score: 2, Informative

    The ESRB warnings do not hold the weight of law, they are a private company. I can make a game and it doesn't HAVE to be rated.

  19. Re:No translations? Ohh PHEEEW on Pirate Bay Operators Stand Trial On Monday · · Score: 4, Funny

    Just five easy payments of...

    $0.00! http://thepiratebay.org/details.php?id=3419901

  20. Re:Let's teach kids to make hardware mods early on Euro Parliament Wants "Red Button" For Shutting Down Games · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yep, except it didn't take him a whole half an hour.

  21. Re:That's great and all, but... on German Bundeswehr Recruiting Hackers · · Score: 4, Informative

    bundeswehr (who are they? why do I care?)
