    DRM is Dead, RIAA Says

    There's nothing lazy about getting pissed with this stuff. It's just extra time you have to wait to get to do what you want to do, which is watch the movie. Must I really sit through "Rated I for Illegal" and FBI threats every time I watch a movie I legally paid to own/rent? Ironically...

    Texting Teen Falls Down Manhole

    The only important matter is whether she learned anything from this. Kids being as they are, I highly doubt it. Next time it may be the same stupid girl walking into traffic because she was too busy playing with her goddamn cell phone to see the light change. Not that I necessarily have a...

    Court Orders Spammers to Pay $3.7 Million

    Oh, people do buy from spam email. If nobody bought, ever, it would go away. You figure if they send out tens of millions of emails every day, even a 1/10th of 1% response could be thousands of sales, and it's not an unrealistic assumption. The spammers will get a cut if somebody is dumb...

    AOL Hands Out Your Passwords Over The Phone

    Poor kid, his parents use AOL. He never stood a chance. The scary part is that they were about to reproduce again. :eek: Don't worry, I agree with you. I'd love to live in a nation where prostitution was legal, for that very reason. Hookers have a much higher ROI than wives/girlfriends.

    The Internet 'Absolutely' Will Become a 'Paid System'

    There are 2 things I would like to see a small fee charged for, across the board: web forums and email accounts. Now, by "small" I mean a buck, tops. As far as forums go, look at it this way. A legitimate user pays 1 dollar one time, or even once a year. A spam-bot account, once discovered...

    Match.com Sued By Heartbroken Member

    I'm kinda shocked about that too! I always wondered why whenever I hit F5 on a Pirate Bay page, the same local hot blonde girls would change their names so much. :confused:

    Internet Dating Done Wrong

    And millions of people are also deliberately violating company policy by using resources for for personal use. I won't deny that I'm guilty of it myself. She could have looked up information at home, on her own 2 minutes. And the guy(s) might have had perfectly clean records and still be...

    Click Me, You Know You Want To

    WARNING! YOUR'RE AN IDIOT FOR CLICKING THIS AD! :D Guy I work with fell for this, and ultimately wound up wiping and reloading. I didn't help him with the issue, but I like to remind him every once in a while how dumb that was. :cool:

    The Public Strikes Back Against Robo-Callers

    Sorry, I didn't check the link... I thought it was this one. The fed is finally doing something about it.

    The Public Strikes Back Against Robo-Callers

    Thank you. My number has been on the DNC since its inception, and it has not stopped these scumbags. The first time I ever told one that I was on the list, he literally said "I don't give a fuck what list you're on!" I started cussing back at him and he hung up. I have pressed "2" to be...

    ASUS Launches New Xonar Audio Card

    Their naming scheme isn't that bad. Any card ending in "X" is PCI Express. D1- entry level PCI DX- entry level PCI Express D2, D2X- same thing, more upscale (and costly) From looking at it, this is their PCI version of the STX. I absolutely love my Xonar D1. The CM8788 is freaking...
