  2. Hmhmmm.... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on WGA Turning Off PCs in the Fall?

    This definitely ratifies the icon that /. has been using for some time now... The one with Billy and the half cyborg face. I would really love to see /. start using the old photoshop of Bill Gates being made out to be the Hitler of the computer world. http://www.geeknewz.com/imagedb/albums/userpics/co mputer/gates_hitler.jpg

  3. Fractions of millions pays off by digitaldc · · Score: 1 · on Microsoft Loses Office Patent Dispute

    Microsoft would not say how many customers are affected, but said it is likely only a "small fraction" of Office users.

    Well, a small fraction could still end up in the millions of users.

    Hooray for the little guy with the million dollar patent. According to GeekNewz.com, Carlos Armando Amado patented it in 1990, and tried to sell it to Microsoft 2 years later. Microsoft looked into it, didn't buy it, but used its technology anyway in Excel 95-2002.
    Good thing he waited.

  4. Re:I don't think it'll be cheap by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Funny · on First Cell Phone for Dogs

    That's why I'm a cat person. Kitty goes out, Kitty comes back in. She ain't dumb, she knows where her food dish is.

    I am a cat person as well. I got my cat for free and was suprised to see that its previous family didn't even wanted it. It made such a good pet - of course it didn't seem that active like most other cats - but I loved it anyways. One day I found it dead, and was very heartbroken. Since then, I haven't been able to find a companion that touched my heart like this one did.

  5. Time for a new Bill image ? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on MS Calls On Kids to Stop Thought Thieves

    I guess we definitely need a new Bill-image for these issues. The current image combined with this Thought Police stance of MS, is a blatant insult towards the Borg.

    Instead, we should consider this one ;/

  10. Why should we support AMD again? by vandan · · Score: 3, Informative · on Red Hat Reveals Support For AMD's Hammer
    AMD have already stated their intention to make Palladium-ready chips.
    Here's what AMD is really thinking ...
    We'll take advantage of Linux Losers' programming ability now (We could sure use all the help we can get there). And then we'll turn around and dictate the conditions under which these 'customers' can use their computers and provide a big-brother service to keep the ol' boys in the white house happy. It makes no difference to us that Palladium will destroy Linux and Open Source software. There's more money in it for us if they have to upgrade every 18 months to an ever-more-inefficient Microsoft Piece of Shit.

    Come on, people, really. Don't support AMD. They are not the noble David against the nasty Goliath. They are just as much a nasty Goliath themself, except for the fact that they don't have much market share... But they sure are acting like they do. If AMD and Intel keep pushing their 'Trusted Computing' wheelbarrow, I swear I will buy an underpowered Transmetta or even a fucking Macintosh just to avoid Palladium.
