  1. Trade Associations Gone Wild! on Investors, "Beware" of Record Companies · · Score: 5, Funny

    I guess the sue your customer business model isn't working out for them. Who knew?

  2. Lets hope they press charges. on RIAA Now Filing Suits Against Consumers Who Rip CDs · · Score: 1

    That would be like prosecuting Al Capone on charges of tax evasion.

    They can control the Internet all right, they just have to dump this pesky net neutrality thingy.

    well if Google Docs were Allegro mon non troppo, or even Andante con moto, that would be OK, but they are downright molto Largo.

  6. actually recommends someone get a Vista system on PC Mag Slams Cheap Wal-Mart Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    that bit is certainly a give away. Isn't it possible the Walmart box has chintzy parts and it doesn't work very well?

  7. Google Docs slow on Google Apps Slow to Replace Competition · · Score: 2

    my only experience w/ Google Docs was that it was slow. It is great for collaborative work over multiple locations. Having said that, I am queasy about having my data on someone else's servers.

  9. naive cynacism on Telecom Immunity Showdown in the Senate Today · · Score: 1

    Actually the data base of constituent mail is kept on the Senate server, while the donor data base is maintained by the Senator's campaign organization. Any contact between the two is illegal, this particular law is enforced.

  10. The Senate Vote on Telecom Immunity Showdown in the Senate Today · · Score: 1
  11. Anthrax on Telecom Immunity Showdown in the Senate Today · · Score: 3, Informative

    After anthrax was sent to Senators Leahy and Daschle the mail procedures were change such that paper mail wont reach the Senate office until months too late. In a fight such as this volume everything. Contacting a Senator through his senate web site is the fastest, most convenient way, or telephone.

  16. Re:Members of the Judiciary Committee on Copy That Floppy, Lose Your Computer · · Score: 1

    Perhaps everyone should go report the 'PRO IP Act of 2007,' there is that ;-)

  17. Members of the Judiciary Committee on Copy That Floppy, Lose Your Computer · · Score: 4, Informative

    sometimes justice prevails.

  19. Re:ultrasonic leak detector? on Minor Leak Being Investigated Aboard the ISS · · Score: 1

    somehow "minor leak" and "international space station" don't belong in the same sentence.

    Most of us here are embarrassed. Sorry, we'll vote better next time. hey, that's our excuse!

  21. already been tried on EMI May Cut Funding To RIAA, IFPI · · Score: 1

    All that's needed for change is for the old generation to die out. The old generation always dies out, yet human nature remains unchanged. Funny how that works.

  22. Nobody ever won a war w/ their customers on EMI May Cut Funding To RIAA, IFPI · · Score: 2

    Commonsense is exactly right. Maybe the RIAA will get a clue.

  23. Re:Has Samsung learned nothing from the U.S.?!?! on Samsung Caught Bribing Government Officials · · Score: 1

    You left out think tanks. The smart companies fund "research" institutions to explain why they should receive more government contracts.

  24. Re:USENET Trolls, among others on Why Trolls and Flames Happen · · Score: 1

    The more people abuse a system, the less eventual resistance there will be to the heavy hand of moderators or even government. Well sure, because it is not like the trolls could ever take over the government.

    Fairfax County, Virginia maintains a list of recyclers.
