  1. What does a copyright have anything to do with it? on Indirect Documents At Last · · Score: 1

    No matter what kind of underlying structure you invoke into building a new document structure/exchange format/whatever you call it, the old laws of the land will come in and hunt it, as soon as here is any money to be made in it. Just think about DMCA, which was brought in by the Congress after the big business lobbied for it..

  2. Bad move... on Microsoft Becomes Wembley Stadium's Backer · · Score: 1

    With Microsoft's Servers licensing policy, you will have to pay twice the price of admission to see the tennis doubles matches... Wait, are we talking about Wimbledon?

  3. Good news, but might have some drawbacks on Big Names Back Possible Linux Standards · · Score: 1

    It is generally good news! This kind of cooperation might finally create some serious competition for M$Windows. On the other hand, I can see how these efforts can be hindered, just as new blue ray DVD has been. Also, I wonder if all the players will try to stick their freebie-leading-to-purchase "features" into this new desktop environment.

  4. Potential Patent Issues? on Ancient Greek Computer Reconstructed · · Score: 0

    Since this technology clearly pre-dates any current PC patent, whouldn't it render some of those patents invalid, since it is an example of the earlier design? Or will it be dissmissed just as Mickey Mouse ancient drawings were?

  5. Geek Computer? on Ancient Greek Computer Reconstructed · · Score: 0

    Aren't all computers are geek in nature?

  6. Are ATMs using Tier1? on Tier One ISPs Dying · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I wonder, can this outage affect Banks ATMs and if it would, who would be held responsible for people not being able to get their money and all the problems originating from it?

  7. Using WiMax to avoid /.ing? on The Future of Wireless Connectivity · · Score: 0

    Now, I think sites coud go ahead and start using WiMax to distribute content over several thousands PCs across the town using WiMax. They would be un-/.able then. But I think this might be illegal though? Something about massive bonnet comes to mind...

  8. I wonder... on Ars Technica Vivisects A Video iPod · · Score: 0
    did they find any Apple worms inside?

    ---- Didn't RTFA...

  9. No more free Swedish music? on Sweden's File Sharing Debate Becomes Mass Brawl · · Score: 0

    Oh No! What are we going to do without swedish music?

  10. Blue Hat? on Microsoft Consults Ethical Hackers at Blue Hat · · Score: 0

    Blue Hat? As in Red Hat without air supply?

  11. Some people think... on Can Asbestos Help Us Understand Nanotoxicity? · · Score: 1
    Some people think that nanoparticles can move to our lungs or our brains...

    YES! And there they will create little robots that will start controling our brains!

  12. Re:Admitting to breaking laws? NOT! on Video iPod Screen Test · · Score: 1

    Didn't Scifi.com put the last eisode of a season one of Battlestar Galactica online for free itself?

  13. Jules Verne on Commission Suggests UK Should End Astronaut Ban · · Score: 1

    It was banned because Jules Verne (1828-1905) came up with the idea first ... and he was FRENCH!

  14. MI6 Site is missing some important info! on Britain's MI6 Opens Its First Website · · Score: 2, Funny

    What? No Daniel Craig pictures?

  15. Miers Qualifications on Bush Supreme Court Nominee Former Microsoft Lawyer · · Score: 1

    So, I guess this actually improves Miers' qualification, upgrading her from a Bush's personal pocket lawyer to a corporate small-guy-hunting one.

  16. Re: Racing on X Prize Founder Launches Rocket Racing League · · Score: 1

    But would you have to beat Sebulba to win the Grand Prize?

  17. Singularity Spoiler on Ray Kurzweil's "The Singularity is Near" · · Score: 1

    Here is the spoiler: the Sun does become Supernova in the end of book, wiping out everything.

  18. Re:Great marketing on Outspoken Group Releases Album as Free Download · · Score: 5, Funny

    Wow! They told me the same thing! And I was in on UNIX! They ARE that good!

  19. re: sunTrap on Solar-powered Handbag · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's kind of scary to know that purses well known for their quality of absorbing (and keeping) all kind of stuff, such as candy wrappers, loose change, lipsticks of all kinds etc.etc. have now achieved the ultimate power and can trap the Sun itself!

  20. 103 minutes waiting time for a comment? on Star Wreck 6 Finally Complete · · Score: 1

    It looks like everyone is eager to see it... do we wait 103 minutes for a first comment? Wait... never mind!

  21. Re:Minor Details on Municipal WiFi Costs Outweigh Benefits · · Score: 2, Funny

    And then, a town/city can start issuing tickets for people using this open network without permission thus getting their budget fixed, refering to this story as a legal precendent.
