  1. they should partner with sony on Napster Blames Microsoft for Lack of Sales · · Score: 1

    dump microsoft and partner with sony: then set up the system to download music onto the user's computer and charge his credit card without the inconvenient step of informing him. You could call the DRM 'Foulplay'.

  2. Re:Mugshot on Spam King Busted by Secret Service · · Score: 1

    wtf, the "colonel keith chambers" guy on the left looks like a slightly older picture of the perp. are spamlords infesting the upper echelons of law enforcement?

  3. the name on the front needs to change on Samsung Steals the Brain Behind the iPod · · Score: 1

    "ipod" has the same elegant simplicity as the device. "samsung" sounds like what a snake would say if it sneezed.

  4. juding from the name, and M$ on What is Microsoft's Origami Project? · · Score: 1

    whatever it is, it's going to cause some small and innovative company somewhere to fold.

  5. Re:Ding! on AOL to Raise Dialup Prices · · Score: 2, Funny

    it's worth it for the cachet of an aol.com email account.

  6. Re:WHY? on Add 8GB of Storage to Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    it's lucky that your hypothetical phone company has a complete monopoly so that people can't just walk across the street to a competitor that doesn't sell such horribly crippled phones.

  7. Re:In defense of gaming as a sport.. on Professional Gaming League Raises $10M · · Score: 1

    you don't even have to go that far. Shooting a rifle while lying on your belly get you an olympic gold medal. It's called a "skill sport." You could tell those people they don't actually play a sport, but I'd do it from at least 1000 yards away.

  8. Re:Great Idea!!! on Podcasting Goes Pay-to-Play · · Score: 1

    did your bulletproof shoes come with your tinfoil hat?

  9. Re:Fingerprints on 'True' Video iPod Coming Soon · · Score: 1
    How do they plan on keeping fingerprints off the screen?

    they don't -- it's part of the DRM. "no wireless access" indeeed.

  10. now wait a minute on No Time Travel, Sorry · · Score: 1

    in my travels over the internet I have stumbled over more than one site suggesting that hanky panky with one's great-great grandmother is indeed quite possible.

  11. Re:WHY? on Soap Opera for Luring Women to Tech is a Flop · · Score: 1

    why?? if you've learned nothing else from hollywood, you should know that women in white lab coats exist to burst their bodices and stare about dreamily while you deduce the deactivation procedure from the atomic bomb, and then with a boyish, devil-may-care chuckle, cut the wires at 00:00:01 and wait for them to lock lips with you. Anyone who questions their important role in science is merely the sad relic of a bygone era.

  12. Re:Google IS the problem on Google's Anti-Spyware Project · · Score: 1

    "ban" is such a harsh word. why don't you suggest they censor it? they might see it your way.

  13. Re:not only that on DoJ search requests: Yahoo, AOL, MSN said "Yes" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So how long is it before a 14 year old girl will get tried as an adult for posting naked pictures of herself as a minor?

  14. Re:There is no such thing as DRM on Blu-Ray Facing Delays Caused by DRM Squabbling · · Score: 2, Funny

    so I guess DRM will finally work properly when the movies are delivered via a disc that contains only rootkit malware and a phone number you call so an operator can describe the movie to you as he watches it.
