  1. really? on Investor Tim Draper Announces He Won Silk Road Bitcoin Auction · · Score: 1

    Providing bitcoin liquidity ..... If you have the interest to buy it. All those coins going somewhere to rot with the rest until more people adopt the idea, and mining is eventually rendered useless, so it becomes a "real" tradeable asset, like gold i guess. When will a candy bar cost .0001 bitcoins?

  2. Can't Wait For the Next Headline ... on "Subhuman Project" Human Powered Submarine · · Score: 4, Funny

    my eight year old self could barely contain the joy of the free players' guides for renewing, and a free game?!!!???
    (It started a crazy trend towards rpgs for me haha).
    I don't think Id've beaten super mario brothers 3 without those red guide books!

  4. link to information week's article on What Happened to Blue Security · · Score: 3, Informative

    shameless from digg, but an easy redirect for /.ers without having to read digg's stuff: information week's take on it makes it seem less, well, amazing on the part of the spammers. http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.j html?articleID=187200875

  5. i smell on ATI Claims HDCP Then Covers Its Tracks · · Score: 4, Insightful

    an opportunity for a class action!

  6. Not as good as it seems on Classic TV for Free Download · · Score: 2, Insightful

    FROM THE ARTICLE: "The company will offer a changing selection of several hundred episodes each month, rather than providing continuous access to all the episodes in a series, Mr. Frankel said, so as not to cannibalize potential DVD sales of old TV shows." Better download as much as you can as fast as you can; it seemed to good to be true.

  7. glad to hear it on Classic TV for Free Download · · Score: 1

    When i can download only the shows i want to watch, now that'll be the day.
    AOL innovating? Hey, they might make money again one day.

  8. Re:don't go on Hurricane Relief - What Would You Bring? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Absolutely go. The only trained professional attitude everyone is describing a need for is gone. The time for people with helping hands to remove over 12 billion dollars in destroyed pieces of homes, buisnesses, and lives is now. Helping people recover by helping them remove debris they may be too old to clen up or sift through will be EXTREMELY helpful. I hope your church has gotten hooked up with another church so you can get an idea of the elderly that really need this help as most of their disposable income probably got blown away with their mattresses.
            I myself am from BOTH areas. Having a weekend home in Pass Christian (waveland, MS) , which is around Bay St. Louis, and most of my extended family being from the Northshore area Covington/Mandeville/Slidell, I can tell you from a WELL informed standpoint (screw CNN) that things are NOWHERE near as grim as they used to be. And the best way to help:
    bring gloves, a shovel, a dump truck and lots of water. There's shit to be picked up EVERYWHERE.
            Telling people to not help used to be a decent response. NOT ANYMORE. You have a chance to make a difference and play a part. You can do it now. I'm posting from Chicago because i had to abandon my law school in New Orleans. I WILL be back in January, and it's going to take help of others across the country to make my home a habitable place again. Thank you and your church for their offer of aid. I've been a volunteer for 9 years now, the hardest part is asking for help when you're used to giving it. We need it there.
