  1. Re:Is this as good as it sounds? on FCC Head Wants New Wireless Devices Unlocked · · Score: 1

    The new frequencies could be purchased by one or several providers and never put into service, thus maintaining the status quo.

  2. Re:Suspicious at best. on Nicotine Is the New Wonder Drug · · Score: 1

    "funding is coming from the NIH "

    Can one assume that's the Nicotine Institute Of Health...????

  3. Re:Huh? on Bush Commutes Libby's Sentence · · Score: 1

    "Oh well. To further clarify, the pardon basically gives back any rights that were lost as a result of the conviction."

    This is not a pardon.. Dubya commuted Libby's sentence, which means Libby is still a felon and has to pay the $250K fine. At this point Libby has no more rights than any other felon..

    What will probably happen before Dubya ends his term he will pardon Libby.

  4. Re:Piracy? on Cryptography To Frustrate Printer-Ink Piracy · · Score: 1

    "Let the printer manufacturers compete fairly."

    I agree. Also adding a crypto chip seems to create a monopoly, which is illegal.

  5. Re:Why This isn't News, but Agitprop on Exxon's Brute Squad Hacks the Yes Men · · Score: 1

    We all know most corporations are humorless. If the Yes Men parody had been presented in the Monty Python form it would have been more acceptable to a UK corporation.

  6. Re:The political options on Military Running a Parallel Earth Simulator · · Score: 1

    "Does it have a 'no George Bush' option to see how the world would be doing without him?"

    A no George Bush option does not make much difference we will still have his Supreme Court.
