  1. Re:slightly OT... on GMail Drive Shell Extension · · Score: 1

    email me and i'll throw one your way.

  2. Was in the same boat on The Best Colleges for Network Engineering? · · Score: 1

    There were no schools that had the degree program that I wanted, so I chose to go to a community college until i figured something out. I finished with a 2 year degree in CIS and moved on to a more technical program in computer engineering. While the CE degree isn't just networking, its a good foundation for getting into serious network engineering later on. Of couse, I was learning networking on my own over this entire period, so I should be prepared for a real network engineer job soon... hopefully.

  3. Re:Neutral Countries News? on Looking for Unbiased War News? · · Score: 1

    That's www.scmp.com". It was the thought that counts.

  4. Re:I may start ordering CDs from Canada... on Blank Media Prices Could Soar In Canada · · Score: 1

    No. The high costs are to help regain lost profits from people that burn stolen music to cdr. Thats the only people that use cdrs right?

  5. Zamyatin's We on Dystopic Novels? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Read We in HS and really enjoyed it. Worth checking out. @ amazon
    reference to more works: History of Distopia

  6. just office and dnet? on Underclocking for a Quiet Machine? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    get a mac! nice and quite and fruitily delicious.

  7. plus / minus on Review Of Netflix DVD Rental Service · · Score: 0

    used it for several months w/o any major problems. delivery time can be annoying at times, but the anime/music selections outweight that. it was better when you could get 4 at a time for $20 though.

  8. Re:Ogg Vorbis on Non-MP3 Codecs? · · Score: 0, Troll

    When was the last time 'being illegal' stopped you from still using something? DeCSS anyone?

  9. Problem with RAID on Affordable Home Backups for 10-100G Systems? · · Score: 1

    the problem with raid (1) is that both drives are running all the time. this can lead to both drives failing from use after a while. the way i have it, all my mp3s are backed up onto a 2nd hd that sits on the shelf. no chance of it getting worn out while sitting there. if the drive in use fails, rip it out, shove it the like-new backup drive.

  10. Re:The threat to Linux on Microsoft Case Slogs Forward · · Score: 1

    if winXP distribution was halted (in the US), ms would just release it everywhere else in the world and i would get a copy from another country and tell the US gov to go to hell.

  11. This case isn't about copying on MPAA v. 2600 NY Trial Has Ended · · Score: 1

    OTH really puts all of this into perspective realy well from a show in late june, before the case ever started. Its about the control of fair use after a dvd has been bought. Who is to say what you can and cannot do with the dvd after you paid for it! can it be used to copy dvds? yes, but its alot of trouble and the MPAA shouldnt be worried about that. thats a mute point.

  12. how about support for ata/66??? on LinuxMandrake 7.0 ISO Images Available · · Score: 1

    i didnt see anything about it in the offical release statement from mandrake. for those of us that can't afford scsi, this would be a huge plus. i just got all my unsupported hardware working with all kinds of patches and hacks and i dont want to have to do it again if i can avoid it.

  13. Re:256k on Copy Protection - Scapegoat or Real Threat? · · Score: 1

    your on...

  14. Re:Mp3 quality? on Copy Protection - Scapegoat or Real Threat? · · Score: 1

    you just arent encoding it correctly. at 128, i cant really hear a differnce. at the max, 320, its cd quality. whether you agree or not, it is.

  15. Re:Sensei!! on Category: Best Newbie Helper · · Score: 1

    chalk up my vote for Sensei also. i was refered to his site when i first got into linux, (not that long ago) and i went from asking the questions to answering them and writing help files thanx to Sensei. He's also in his irc channel #linuxnewbie on dalnet all the time and if he isnt there to answer your questions personlly, his loyal 'footmen' (i love that term) are.

  16. Re:Yikes on Nortel gets 6.4 Terabits on a Single Fibre · · Score: 1

    Even if it can't quite get up to 80Gbits, thats still a big improvement over what it is right now. Now if only they can develope a way to hook it directly to my vain.
