  1. Re:It flew under the radar on Best Buy Is Selling Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    If someone doesn't have a clue how to download and burn something, How are they going to setup a linux and configure a linux system?

  2. End to elevator music? on Listening To The Radio At Work? Prepare To Be Sued · · Score: 1

    Will this put an end to bad elevator music??
            But seriously are people crazy?! its a radio..

  3. HP does the same on Retailer Refuses Hardware Repair Due To Linux · · Score: 1

    The same thing almost happened to me, But before i sent the laptop back in for services, i reformatted back to factory settings. But in anycase,
        With the rise of linux users, plus the rise of Vista crashs and other issues. PC makers need to step back and rethink this. Linux is not going anywhere, and they need to realize that.

      But here is a more interesting idea, that i doubt anyone has tested. Since Mac has switched to intel and we can now dual boot with windows. What would be PC makers say if we went and installed the Mac OS on our computers...

  4. 52 pages thats it?? on iPhone Bill a Whopping 52 Pages Long · · Score: 1

    I do not own a iphone, and My plan is a family plan with 5 phones, Our normal page length is about 180-200. 3 out of the 5 phones are normally just 2-3 pages. With the other 2 phones taking up the rest. You can check the same details online, Cingular should have a option to just send out one page saying how much you owe. And give you a credit for opting out of a paper bill

  5. Could it be a new diablo instead? on Blizzard Confirms New Product, May Be Starcraft 2 · · Score: 1

    Didn't blizzard just look for a new leader to lead the diablo team not that long ago?

  6. Same thing happened to me on HP Dishonors Warranty If You Load Linux · · Score: 1

    I was having problems with my laptop, so i called up HP tech support.
    I started to explain the problem, they instantly started to blame it
    on a software problem. I told him it is was a hardware problem, because
    the problem happened in both windows and linux. He instantly told me,
    that because I had linux installed that it would void my warrenty.
    Lucky I was able to do some quick talking and say that he misunderstood
    me it was happening in windows and safe mode (some how he believed
    that).

    It is totatly ridculus that because you install something other then
    windows you instantly void your warrenty. Yes i can understand them not
    wanting to support linux and the tech support to go along with it. But
    to void a warrenty, is a little harsh.

  7. Hopefully Cingular will follow on Unlimited Wireless Plans Coming · · Score: 1

    it would be fun to have unlimited internet/txt messages on the go, and not be limited to 2000 txt a month.

  8. an idea on Is Computer Science Dead? · · Score: 2

    Perhaps the falling CS enrollment is due to the fact that no one wants to do that much math. who needs to take 4-8 math classes for web design and simple programming.

  9. Thank god on CompUSA Closing More Than 50 Percent of Stores · · Score: 1

    Its about time that CompUSA closes their doors, or at least most of
    them. After the hell that i went threw to get my laptop replaced,
    because they couldn't fix the issue. I refuse to go in one of them. Why
    should it take 3-6 weeks to fix a simple touchpad issue. When If i send
    it into HP it takes 3 days. Screw them. I can't wait to see the rest of
    the stores close. There customer service reps are rude, and eve hung up
    on me a few times. All i have to say is, Good.
