  1. Re:cool. on Music Industry Tells Advertisers to Boycott "Pirate" Baidu · · Score: 1

    Re-working other people's material is not plagiarism, but a means of honouring one's predecessors, learning one's craft and encouraging creativity.

    You bring up a good point to the piracy argument that I haven't seen debated before. I guess in the end it would be a waste of time because it would see the same fate as the rendition before it.

  2. That's What Google Hack is For on Music Industry Tells Advertisers to Boycott "Pirate" Baidu · · Score: 4, Insightful

    In a way isn't that why Google created Google Hack, to show sites, what content is floating out there, so they can secure it or pursue those who let their content sit out there for free.

  3. Re:Why? on Why Google Should Embrace OpenOffice.org · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There is a character limit to Google Docs. I thought it would be a good idea to get some video game walkthroughs saved to my Google Docs, so I didn't have to look them up all the time, so I copied the text to Google Docs and some of the files had too much text for Good Docs to handle.

  4. Re:Parity on McCain Supports Warrantless Domestic Surveillance · · Score: 1

    "Vote Hitler! I know he *said* he'd kill all the Jews, but who knows what might happen when he gets in office?"
    Go ahead and vote 3rd party, you're just throwing your vote away.
  5. $5 for a movie that last only 48 hours on The One-Use, Self-Destructing DVD Returns · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's kind of steep. I can get $5 movies at the bargain bin at Best Buy, Wal-Mart, etc. Or I can rent a movie from Blockbuster for $4 and keep it for 2 weeks. Or I can use netflix and rent a bunch of movies for $10 a month, or I can download it from Xbox Live. There seems to be better alternatives to watch a movie.

  6. Re:stainless steel? on Building a Miniature Magnetic Earth · · Score: 1

    Watch the video. It says to make a planet you need "1 Scientist". That's all.

  7. Re:Oh noes! on Bye Bye Bananas — the Return of Panama Disease · · Score: 1

    I bet news about the MTV awards gets more coverage than the banana extinction does.

  8. Re:Obscene is easy, its called fun on FCC Pitches Free, Bowdlerized Wireless Internet Access · · Score: 1

    I don't see it being that scarey. I would still keep my ISP at home, but it's nice to know that if I'm out and about I could check my email. I wouldn't need to check my myspace page or 2 girls 1 cup from it.

  9. ScienceBlogs.com on The Smartest Browser and OS · · Score: 2, Funny

    I've never heard of this site, but now that I have I'll never return to /.

  10. Re:hey I know on Teen Discovers Plastic-Decomposing Bacteria · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure Ivan Reitman at least copyrighted Evolution.

  11. In Other News . . . on Teen Discovers Plastic-Decomposing Bacteria · · Score: 1

    . . . Man's prosthetic arm is lost to plastic-eating bacteria. Necrotizing fasciitis afflicted community takes a moment of silence. There is no escape.

  12. Re:Sexually Transmitted Disease on DVD Porn Viruses Ravage US Soldiers' Computers · · Score: 4, Funny

    I think they call it STDVD.

  13. Re:Depends on who's sleeping with me... on NASA Offers $5000 a Month For You to Lie in Bed · · Score: 1

    So there won't be showers? I understand they are trying to see what happens in space, but at least let them shower.

  14. Re:Details on NASA Offers $5000 a Month For You to Lie in Bed · · Score: 1

    The picture on the site shows two women doing it.

  15. Re:I wonder if... on Amazon Fights Back Against NY Online Sales Tax · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Maybe you should start demanding that your tax money be used to benefit you. Got a pothole in your neighborhood, then call NY and require they fix it with the tax money you are paying them.

  16. Mental Note: on Companies To Be Liable For Deals With Online Criminals · · Score: 1

    Start using cash.

  17. Re:Onerous Burden on Businesses? on Companies To Be Liable For Deals With Online Criminals · · Score: 1

    Also what is the business owner supposed to do if the credit card is flagged? I would be scared as shit thinking there is a terrorist in my place of business picking up some odds and ends. How do you stall them long enough for law enforcement to get there?

  18. Re:Onerous Burden on Businesses? on Companies To Be Liable For Deals With Online Criminals · · Score: 1

    Don't forget about the virgins. Oh the limited amount of virgins for eternity.

  19. Boxhead Rocks with 2 Players on PC Gaming Suggestions for Console-like Fun? · · Score: 1

    Boxhead is really fun for 2 players. http://www.kongregate.com/games/SeanCooper/boxhead-2play-rooms enjoy

  20. Re:If it's anything like the Xbox service... on Sony To Launch PS3 Video Download Service · · Score: 1

    I couldn't find anything in the article stating if you buy the movies or rent. That's a big deciding factor for me as well. I don't use the Xbox Live movie rentals because I want to buy the movies, like M$ allows for the TV shows.

  21. Re:From TFA, quite sick, really. on Storing Data For the Next 1,000 Years · · Score: 1

    The only thing I really back up are digital photos and home videos. These all can be done for free with online services, like http://www.picturepush.com/ and youtube.com. I'm not sure why people are worried about backing up their music and movies, that stuff can be easily replaced.

  22. You Think You've Got Problems on EMI Says Online File Storage Is Illegal · · Score: 1

    I own a cassette tape store. Cassette tape sales has drastically dropped and I'm getting this sinking feeling that the major labels aren't producing this format much anymore since they keep trying to push me to try a newer format, CD. I don't want to adapt because I think tapes will make a come back even with the problem of people making each other mixed tapes.People would be encouraged to give the names of suspected pirates to a hotline, similar to TIPS. Once we know the size of the problem, the police and other law enforcement agencies will be forced to take piracy seriously. They have fought the War on Drugs with skill, so why not the War on Piracy?

  23. Re:Who wants to bet... on $1/Gallon "Green Gasoline" In Sight · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree. 5 years from now, slashdotters will be linking to this article asking "where did this alt fuel go?"

  24. Re:Cool on Unreleased Atari 2600 Game Found At Flea Market · · Score: 1
  25. Re:They are unpleasant already on PETA Offers X-Prize for Artificial Meat · · Score: 1

    you showed me an article that says he "may" have suffered these problems from his vegan diet. No one proved that he did. Also the article points out that the man didn't have a balanced diet, so most likely if he ate meat as well he would have had other health complications, because this person didn't understand how to eat.
