    Pandora Plays Song 1.16M Times, Artist Gets $17

    What gets me is that you know the label is taking a HUGE chunk from the artist, and from what I recall, even more when it's through Pandora than other radio style services. The whole system is a scam. Don't blame Pandora... they're trying to play by the rules set out for them. When the RIAA...

    New Borderlands 2 Krieg the Psycho Trailer

    Nope. The mission DLCs are all individually purchaseable, with no requirements on any of them except the base game. You can get the season pass without Krieg and still play all the content.

    It's Time For Gaming's Contractors To Strike?

    If it sounds fun, it could also require a specialized skill set. I make pretty decent money programming with great benefits, and I think it's fun, without being bent over a barrel for anything. No mandatory overtime, no real requirements for ass in chair time, etc. As long as I get my work done...

    New Borderlands 2 Krieg the Psycho Trailer

    So choose a different skill tree, Rusty. He doesn't have to. He's the most fun I've had in BL2, and I like it enough that I had 700 hours of play in it before he was released.

    Bursting Bubbles At UC Berkeley: A Physics Simulation

    Too bad, aside from the fact that the higher the resolution, the slower the image capture, so it can get prohibitively expensive to get a high-resolution, high-speed camera? Maybe those mathematicians sometimes have budgets like the rest of us?

    Harsh Punishments Needed to Deter File-Sharers

    You're assuming everyone in prison for murder is there appropriately. That's a pretty poor assumption. Secondly, it's not even necessarily a deterrent. So... yeah. Back to the drawing board there, sparky.

    FBI Employees Download Pirated Movies and TV-Shows

    Didn't you know? The police play by different rules than the rest of us. They're above the law.

    Feds Say Megaupload’s Entrapment Claim Is ‘Baseless’

    No, he wasn't. He was brilliant and self directed at studying math, and doing geometry at 10 years old. He was just singularly focused, and didn't pay attention to subjects that didn't interest him, which is why people report that he was "dumb" in some form or another and had problems in school...

    Traffic and Piracy Drop After Restricting Pirated Content

    Does it increase sales, though? Because that's all that really matters. If you stop "piracy" with tons of side effects like massive censorship, and you don't increase sales... who wins?

    AMD Radeon HD 7970 CrossFire Bundle Lucky Draw

    I like that they's fast. My 6950's are great, and I'd only trade them to get a new AMD card.

    People Who Donate to Wikipedia Just Better People?

    By and large, Wikipedia's articles are very high quality. Higher than any encyclopedia's, and often better than many textbooks, especially on "new" information. Yes, people do get into political edit wars, there are questionable decisions from the directors, etc. But that happens everywhere...

    Arduino Project Has Sega Rally Cabinets Steer RC Cars

    All the time. But you have to be aware of yourself enough to not ride the brake in regular traffic. Otherwise, there are some racing reasons you want to. I usually switch between the two, and use it more often in traffic or in bad conditions where I might need to switch between the two, or...
