  1. the finger on Proposed Legislation Is Mooninite Fallout · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm giving this act the finger, AS HARD AS I CAN.

  2. Ok, let's try it... on Sun Debuts JavaFX As Alternative To AJAX · · Score: 0
    In Soviet Russia, AJAX debuts Sun!

    Dammit, I'll get a good one someday.

  3. No copyright in government works on DMCA Takedown Notice For a Fake ID · · Score: 1

    105 Subject matter of copyright: United States Government works

    Copyright protection under this title is not available for any work of the United States Government, but the United States Government is not precluded from receiving and holding copyrights transferred to it by assignment, bequest, or otherwise.

    This may be slightly redundant but I'm expanding. At best, the forger's work could be considered a derivative work. It was mentioned that the forger, however, while claiming copyright, is making his work from a goverment designed document. There can be no copyright protection on a government work.

  4. Maybe I missed something... on Warner Brothers Pulls Canadian Previews · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ... but where the hell is the correlation between a preview and a pirated full copy of a movie?

  5. Re:Redundancy, for moderating morons on Lost Odyssey And Japan's Western Gaming Success · · Score: 1

    Alright, I'll give you that but still...

  6. Redundancy, for moderating morons on Lost Odyssey And Japan's Western Gaming Success · · Score: 0
    From Wikipedia:

    Redundancy, in general terms, refers to the quality or state of being redundant, that is: exceeding what is necessary or normal; or duplication.

    When one makes a bad "all your base are belong to us" or Soviet Russia joke, the mod shouldn't be Redunant, you complete and utter moron. Offtopic? Sure. I'd even buy Troll or Flamebait because there isn't an unfunny mod. But redunant has a very clear meaning, one you clearly haven't figured out. Fuck you.

  7. Tetris for original NES on What is Your Desert Island Game? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    All day. I've been playing the game for 20 years (on my original system that surprisingly still works) and I plan to play till I die. There are countless versions for countless platforms but nothing beats the music, the controls or the plain feel of the single greatest game of all time.

  8. Gotta do it... on Lost Odyssey And Japan's Western Gaming Success · · Score: 0, Redundant
    All your Western games are belong to us!

    I sincerely apologize... shit.

  10. Jeez, a little diode? on Cooler Silicon Lasers Via Energy Harvesting · · Score: 5, Funny

    You'd think Intel would know that Radio Shack carries a wide variety...

  11. Virri? Where'd that extra R come from? on Do We Really Need a Security Industry? · · Score: 3, Informative

    In the English language, the standard plural of virus is viruses. This is the most frequently occurring form of the plural, and refers to both a biological virus and a computer virus.

    The less frequent variations viri and virii are virtually unknown in edited prose, and no major dictionary recognizes them as alternative forms. Their occurrence can be variously attributed to hypercorrection formed by analogy to Latin plurals such as alumni or false analogy to Latin plurals such as radii; idiosyncratic use as jargon among a group, such as computer hackers; and deliberate word play, such as on BBSs (see, e.g.: leet).

    From Wikipedia, your source for all things accurate.

  12. Really? on Dell Releases Flash-Based Laptops · · Score: 1

    A Troll mod for a bad joke? C'mon...

  13. I for one... on Dell Releases Flash-Based Laptops · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... welcome our 32GB SanDisk Flash hard drive in our laptop overlords. Dammmit. That sucked so bad.

  14. Re:Trial on Fair Use In Scientific Blogging · · Score: 1

    I really can't tell why this was modded troll. While certainly not eloquent, my comment was in response to this blatant abuse of the copyright system. The fair use doctrine is perhaps the most important aspect of copyright protection. Without it, we couldn't have peer review of scientific articles, book or movie reviews, or even have teachers give out handouts in schools.
    Wiley, in trying to hide behind this sacred doctrine, was attempting to commit a most egregious act. It incited anger (much like RIAA but possibly worse) and well, if that was a troll, then mod me down.

  15. Trial on Fair Use In Scientific Blogging · · Score: 1, Troll

    I would love to see this thing go to trial and watch the judge bitch-slap Wiley and their attorneys around for bringing what would be a frivilous lawsuit. They should, although I'm not completely certain, get slapped with attorney's fees as well as punative damages. What assholes.

  16. Ridiculous on Fair Use In Scientific Blogging · · Score: 5, Informative
    Hey we all know that there's not much money in science, but seriously. This article embodies what fair use is all about.
    From Sec. 107 of the Copyright Act.

    ...the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.

    It doesn't get more simple than this. They've been hanging out with the RIAA too much...

    This is how these people get their faces on TV.

    I totally agree with you but you misspelled one word.
    This is how these people get their feces on TV. Bunch of opportunistic assholes.
  18. Let's not forget... on Xeroxing Personal Data From Your Browsing History · · Score: 1

    ... to protect Xerox's IP by not using their trademarked name as a verb! Because it hasn't become generic or anything...

  19. Re:Artists funding this action on RIAA Can't Have Defendant's Son's Desktop · · Score: 2, Funny

    Good Lord. Anyone purchasing these artists should have a lawsuit brought against them. Slightly ironic that the artists helping to fund this haven't had a hit in years. I'm sure Fred Durst needs all the cash he can get at this point...

  20. Re:More info and a picture on Brain/Computer Gaming Interface Coming in 2008 · · Score: 1

    Ok that's just awesome.

  21. Still requires an invitation? on Google Opens Gmail To All · · Score: 1

    Invitations to open a Gmail account are still required in North America, Asia and most parts of the South America, but Google spokeswoman Courtney Hohne said those restrictions will be lifted "very soon."

    http://www.physorg.com/news90096289.html

    Now this article was posted 18 hours ago so unless that's "very soon", invitations still seem to be required.

  23. Re:Don't stop at just the labels... on Download Only Song to Crack the Top 40 · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately as long as Disney is around, expect enormous lobby efforts to extend copyright. Mickey, Donald, et al., were set to go into the public domain not too long ago... with new legislation, they're poised to continue for many more years.

  24. "Penis" blocked on Web Censorship on the University Campus? · · Score: 1

    I went to a small, private university and even as far back as 1998, they were filtering huge amounts of content. I was taking a gross anatomy course and the filtering software wouldn't even let me look up anything to do with genital anatomy. Vulva was even blocked. Regarding .mp3 blocking, the IT people said that because of the way they got their T1 lines onto campus, they could be held liable for any impropriety that went on inside their domains. Does anyone know if that's a load of crap or not?
