  1. CD Tax in Canada on US Group Calls Canada a Top Copyright Violator · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Don't the Canadians pay extra tax to cover lost artists' revenue when they buy a blank CD?
    Doesn't that mean that they have the right to copy all they like since it's already been paid for?

  2. Re:blurring != obscuring; true, but... on Interpol Unscrambles Doctored Photo In Manhunt · · Score: 2, Funny

    you're not going to be able to just take any heavily non-motion blurred image and get a supersharp result back.

    Clearly you need to watch more episodes of CSI ^_^

  3. Re:an odd comparison on Japanese Online Connectivity Ahead of EU/US · · Score: 1

    Ehm... Tokyo is not "Japan".
    It is merely an admittedly large city in Japan.

    Most of the rest Japan is mountains and rice fields, dotted with little countryside villages and farms, but I doubt you've even been there, hence your ignorance.

  4. In New Zealand... on New Zealand Police Act Wiki Lets You Write the Law · · Score: 1

    The Kiwi writes you.
    Oh, wait...

  5. "Lenix" on Linux To Be Installed In Every Russian School · · Score: 4, Funny

    Would get my vote! How about a poll on this, Slashdot!

  6. Note to self: Back up server on Jatol.com Disappears, Stranding Customers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I really should do this more often. I don't know what I'd do if this would happen to me.

  7. Re:Identity card not needed anymore on Judge Says, Record DNA of Everyone In the UK · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is what expects us.

    What you say !!
    You have no chance to survive make your time.

  8. Re:What a shocking development! on Russian Court Acquits allofmp3.com Owner · · Score: 1

    He dismissed an absurd claim

    Ehm, however how you may feel about international copyright laws, this guy way clearly violating them.
    So no, I wouldn't call the claims "absurd".

  9. Re:This sounds more like ... on Lenovo Aims $199 PC At China's Rural Population · · Score: 1

    Bah. Tape drives are for wussies.
    You haven't lived until you've made your own punch cards.

  10. Re:There should be a law... on European Commission To Raise Camera Costs in Europe · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It's because of people like you that the US has no universal health care and most students spend half their lives paying of their loans.

  11. Re:Doesn't really mean much for Apple on Universal Refuses To Renew On iTunes · · Score: 1

    I don't really think it's so much about DRM, it's more about Apple's pricing model.

    Why should the latest Nr 1 chartbuster be the same price as a 30 year old B-side?

    If you go to a video store you also pay more for renting the latest video releases, don't you?

  12. Oooo! Safari Windows is fast! But... on Safari on Windows, Leopard Debut at WWDC · · Score: 1

    ...it crashed when I tried to bookmark a page.

  13. A thing of beauty? on After Ubuntu, Windows Looks Increasingly Bad · · Score: 1

    rsync -avgz /home/xxxx/.mozilla-thunderbird/ root@mycomcastipnumber:/hdb/ibmt60-ubuntu-mozilla- tbird/ >> /home/xxxx/backup-.txt That little command executes in a few seconds to a few minutes no matter where I am on the Internet and even if I've added some decently sized files to my computer. I've got my home router set up to pass the ssh port 22 through to a Linux server sitting in my attic. Quick and painless backups run without a hitch. It's a thing of beauty.

    And you wonder why laypersons like me still haven't switched from Windows to Ubuntu?

  14. Re:Sheesh on Michigan Man Charged for Using Free WiFi · · Score: 1

    If you don't want unauthorized people accessing your unsecured Wi-Fi network, then provide your customers with the access information on a receipt or something. If hotels can do it surely a coffee shop can figure it out.

    This is by far the most sensible thing I have read regarding this issue.
    If I had a mod point to spare good sir it would be yours.

  15. Re:Come on, this one is easy. on What is Your Desert Island Game? · · Score: 1

    Given that you will find no AC outlets or battery chargers on a desert island, eventually you'll be playing "bang on coconuts with sticks."

    Thank you, now excuse me while I go get a cloth to wipe that coffee off my monitor.

  16. Re:WordPress in two easy steps on Wordpress Complete · · Score: 1

    So simple even my grandmother could do it!

  17. Re:There is already crud in the chocolate. on FDA Considers Redefining Chocolate · · Score: 2, Informative

    Under "ingredients", it says: "palm, shea, sunflower, and/or safflower oil".

    ...A little vegetable oil is not going to make a big difference.


    Dude, that's horrible.
    Palm oil is totally unsaturated and worse for your heart and arteries than lard. You bet that if you spend over 200 bucks a month on this stuff it is going to make a difference.
    I'd switch to higher quality (Swiss or Belgian) chocolate if I were you.

  18. Re:Where are they now... on 25th Anniversary of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum · · Score: 1

    Who would have thought that the folks responsible for Crash and Zapp would one day be behind titles such as "The Book of Practical Fishing Knots", "The Complete Guide to the Horse", "The History of Shipwrecks" and "Kitten Training For Kids"...

  19. Re:features - (kinda) on Why are Websites Still Forcing People to Use IE? · · Score: 1

    People just need to realize that a web browser should be used for browsing the web and the websites should be HTML compliant.

    Now how to explain this to people whose idea of a "website" is a Flash file...

  20. Re:This isn't as bad as it sounds. on Woman's House Robbed After Fake Craigslist Post · · Score: 1

    This was a piece of rental property that the woman owned. It was empty. None of her personal things were taken.

    That's right. They took nothing excluding the kitchen sink ;)

  21. Re:Commodore had its share on The Top 21 Tech Flops · · Score: 1

    The 1992 A1200 had a downgraded version of the CPU Apple put in its 1987 Apple II.

    No it didn't.
    A 1987 Apple II would have had a 65C816 running at 2.8 MHz.
    The A1200 had a 68EC020 running at 14.32 MHz.

  22. Re:Psst on Using Google Maps With a Photo Album · · Score: 3, Informative

    And by 43 Places. Really neat though ^_^

  23. Re:wonderful on Dept. of Energy Rejects Corn Fuel Future · · Score: 2, Funny

    How about we genetically modify corn to product THC? That would solve all of our problems.

  24. One thing is obvious from the photograph on Bill Gates Talk From 1989 Surfaces · · Score: 3, Funny

    Most geeks' dress sense hasn't changed much since 1989 ;)

  25. I say this Air Car... on The Air Car Nears Completion · · Score: 1

    ... is just vaporware.
