  1. Re:Why on Bird Flu Pandemic Could Choke the Net · · Score: 1, Redundant

    As always, this falls under "Don't Be An Idiot, And You'll Be Fine."

    Yeah, we're boned

  2. Re:Maybe... maybe not on Interview With Jailed Video Blogger Josh Wolf · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    Tell me, where does it say he doesn't have to reveal his source material?

  3. Re:As long as _she's_ pretty.. on Do You Care About Race in Games? · · Score: 1

    Does this mean the next story is going to be "Do you care about gender in games?"

  4. Re:^ FROM CORN on Obama Announces for President, Boosts Broadband · · Score: 1

    Large coal/gas reserves, although the oil reserves are nothing really special. And the Australian sugar industry really isn't that large, it's more of a Queensland thing (North-Eastern state, with more of a tropical climate).

  5. Re:Midwest on Obama Announces for President, Boosts Broadband · · Score: 1

    I saw that story in an Aus newspaper, but wouldn't the increase in corn prices be a boon for farmers, and result in an improvement for the Mexican economy?

  6. Re:Fiji? on Vista Followup Already in the Works · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, Microsoft gets torn apart enough for antitrust, do you think they want to be blamed for a coup as well?

  7. Re:Better Alternate Reality Game on Perplex City Alternate Reality Game Solved · · Score: 3, Funny

    I tried it. It was alright. Pity about the userbase.

    What? Are you saying Polly isn't about a cute little bird?

    The question and the answer are mutually exclusive. If both are known the universe instantly dissappears and is replaced by something more inexplicable. Or something along those lines.

    Reminds me of Project EUNUCH http://totl.net/Eunuch/index.html/

    Style and comfort for the discriminating crotch

  12. Re:Easy compared to what? on Repair Computer, Repurchase OS? · · Score: 1

    Chill out. Geez. It's a bad attempt at a joke, not a declaration of war.

  13. Re:Slowest. Newsday. Ever. on The Evolution of StarCraft · · Score: 1
    TA - Two sides, Core and Arm. A slightly different bunch of robots with some different strength/armor/etc differences Starcraft- Three sides, each very different. TA - A bunch of text between each mission Starcraft - Interesting (At least) story. Mid-mission objectives changes, a few interesting scenarios

    TA was alright, yes. It had a few interesting concepts, but Starcraft had its own and pulled the whole thing off much better.

  14. Re:Easy compared to what? on Repair Computer, Repurchase OS? · · Score: 1

    Well, the problem is that I hear that not all Nigerian's have several million dollars in their bank account ready to share with you, and most are actually quite poor

  15. Re:Windows Only on BBC Download Plans Approved · · Score: 1

    But, from the other side of the coin, the Ten Network makes money by splitting up chunks of the show and putting paid advertising in the middle. They provide entertainment to you on the basis that they're going to at least attempt to get you to watch some advertisements, which puts money in their bank. The circle of capitalism is complete; Ten gets money, you get your entertainment, and some company gets a bit more brand recognition. Why should Ten choose to hobble their primary market by giving away their major drawcard?

  16. Re:Not level on OS Comparisons From the BBC · · Score: 4, Informative

    To be fair, they spend just as much time with Linux's prime features (Package Manager, Free Software, etc) and OSX's (Stability, ease of use, etc).

  17. Re:Defective in that way and more on Fight DRM While There's Still Time · · Score: 1
    So, it's defective by design just like Ubuntu/Kubuntu with MP3's?

    There's nothing defective about it at all, it just dumps stuff where it likes. Nothing more, nothing less.

  18. Re:Defective in that way and more on Fight DRM While There's Still Time · · Score: 1

    Actually, the song title, album, artist, etc information are kept. The only obfuscation is in the file name is cgabged, and where it's placed. Not much really. It should be noted however that DRM'd files from the iTunes store stay as such.

    But did he mispell 'serfs'... or smurfs

    Yes, I did see his post about the error but that's what the mistake reminded me of...

  20. Re:Defective in that way and more on Fight DRM While There's Still Time · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's simple to move music from an iPod to a computer. I just did it in about two minutes, no extra applications or anything (Using WinXP). iPod set to enable disk use, file copied (In this case, an MP3) from iPod to computer and is currently playing. Hell, I even managed to do this with Ubuntu a while ago.

  21. Re:Good! on Norway Outlaws iTunes · · Score: 1

    Sounds like it's the same thing

  22. Re:Good! on Norway Outlaws iTunes · · Score: 1

    The free song is usually picked by staff, and they'll put a banner on the main store page (I think). However, I do think you need to be a member of the store to download.

  23. Re:Good! on Norway Outlaws iTunes · · Score: 1

    But technically, they aren't charging you for OS X, so it doesn't really matter.

  24. Re:ITMS currency index is much simpler on The iPod International Currency Index · · Score: 3, Informative

    Actually, in Australia it's $1.69 so the example sort of breaks down there.
