  1. How is it a partial victory? on Man Wins Partial Victory In Circuit City Arrest · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The guy spent $7500 on the case and forfeited the right to pursue further legal action against the city for being wrongfully arrested, but hey at least his criminal record is clean now? His record should have been clean the whole time, so there's no victory there either...

  2. Re:And then on Trent Reznor Says "Steal My Music" · · Score: 1

    Your car analogy has failed. -10 points.

  3. Re:The Flying Spaghetti Monster is my copilot on Creationists Silence Critics with DMCA · · Score: 1, Funny

    Ramen, brother... ramen.

  4. Re:I wouldn't say... on Academics Speak On 'Life After World Of Warcraft' · · Score: 1

    Nah, gnomes are where it's at. mmm, midget porn... wait, what?

  5. Re:I wouldn't say... on Academics Speak On 'Life After World Of Warcraft' · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's until some lonely single guy sees a female night elf and begins imagining things.

  6. Re:Seriously on Retailer Refuses Hardware Repair Due To Linux · · Score: 1

    You know... the parts that only a hacker would know to use. DUN DUN DUN...

  7. Re:Time Warner Fiber? on Cablevision CEO a Verizon FiOS Customer? · · Score: 1

    Cox in Omaha does the same thing. You're not buying fiber service, but they still say their network is run by fiberoptics.

  8. Re:What a crock of shit. on Protecting Final Fantasy XI From the Gil-Sellers · · Score: 2, Funny

    FFXI is quite possibly the single worst MMOG ever played, and people only put up with it out of desperate love of the final fantasy name and franchise.

    Allow me to introduce you to Star Wars Galaxies.

  9. Re:Your only alternative? on NBC Universal Drops iTunes · · Score: 1

    Do you own your house, or does your HOA? Tell them to go fly a kite.

  10. Re:Let forth... on Girl's Heart Regenerates With Artificial Assist · · Score: 1
  11. Re:32kbps MP3 on Legal Music Streaming Site Launches In France · · Score: 1

    I noticed this too, but as long as the service is free I don't mind. Maybe at some point they'll let me pay a few bucks a month to listen to a higher-quality stream.

  12. Re:How low can you go? on The White House Crowd Control Manual · · Score: 1

    Just make sure you throw in a "Chimpy McFlightsuit" for good measure.

  13. Re:Is is disclosed? on Wal-Mart Ditches DRM, Keeps Censorship · · Score: 1

    I haven't paid enough attention but I don't think they do. That said... the manufacturer is making the changes to the content here, not Wal-Mart. It should be up to the manufacturer to make sure the albums are marked as clean.

  14. Re:Tell you what... on How Much Does a New Internet Cost? · · Score: 1

    You actually believe that's where the money would have gone? oy vey!

  15. This is the state of play. on The State of Play - Violence and Videogames · · Score: 1

    I'm sitting here right now, with my Nintendo DS and Final Fantasy 3, ordering my little pixellated minions to mow down everything in sight using a variety of weapons and offensive magic. And I've been doing this since I was 10.

    Now if we can't find more productive things to be outraged about than violence in video games, I'm going to have to start throwing silence spells around.

  16. Re:I want broadband/DSL... on The $200 Billion Broadband Rip-Off · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah, and where do you live? Because I can guarantee if you're not in a town with at least 10-12 households that would pony up for DSL service, it's not going to happen. That involves installing a DSLAM that's going to run at least a few grand, plus one or several T1 lines to supply the bandwidth back to the CO 8 miles away, not to mention T1-to-ethernet converters, etc.

    If you live outside of town you can just about forget it. Go get satellite internet.

  17. Re:Is it really a big surprise? on United Nations vs SQL Injections · · Score: 1

    Or maybe that page was a quickie that an intern put up until the real developer gets in on Monday.

    (Of course, given that this happened in the first place, that isn't entirely likely. heh)

  18. Interesting... on Many Antivirus Tools Fail in LinuxWorld Test · · Score: 1

    Interesting that SonicWALL only caught 61% compared to McAfee catching 89%. The virus protection on our SonicWALL at work is powered by McAfee.

  19. Re:No Firm Surface... on Largest-Known Planet Befuddles Scientists · · Score: 1

    Puffy planet smoke! Whew... don't breathe this!

  20. I don't want... on Nissan Turns to Technology to Stop Drunk Driving · · Score: 1

    My car deciding to tighten up the seat belt on me like that. I just see bad things happening.

  21. Re:Two stories in one... on Case of the Great Hot-Site Swap · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's all about freedom, as long as you do what he wants you to.

  22. Re:possible mistake. on Smash Bros. Gets Story-Driven Single Player Campaign · · Score: 2, Informative

    I thought what destroyed Street Fighter was all the ridiculous pseudo-sequels. You had SF 2, then SF 2: Championship Edition, then SF 2: Turbo, then Street Fighter Alpha Championship Turbo Hyper EX II Deluxe Edition, etc...

  23. Re:Regal Cinema on A Year In Prison For a 20-Second Film Clip? · · Score: 1

    Is this before or after you check all the other theaters in town operated by different companies and verify that they wouldn't do the exact same thing?

  24. Re:Tit for tat on NASA Hacker Wins Right to Extradition Hearing · · Score: 3, Funny

    The Daily KOS, duh.

  25. Re:A Good step foreward... on Ohio Establishing State Wide Broadband Network · · Score: 1

    As opposed to 26.4kbps dialup... yeah, it's quite hilarious. Shame on anybody for even thinking about trying to rectify the lack of broadband in this country's rural areas.
