    Don't forget Sharepoint Portal Server, it needs server 2003 to install also.

  2. Re:been doing this for ages on TV Piracy is Next · · Score: 1

    Several years ago I had a friend in Austrialia who wanted to see a new TV series that I was talking about, but wasn't being shown over there. So I setup a TV Tuner card, and used Net Meeting with it's video and audio source set to the tuner to stream the show over to him

    Which means what if you are using a 56k modem? You get to play the game in a few days time?
    No, it means you should go buy the box version of the game.
  4. Re:GOOD EFFORT?! on Microsoft's Upcoming Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 1

    Exactly, that's how competition works. You can't blame Microsoft for trying to improve it's product because someone else tried to make something better. That's how we get better products. By your logic, Microsoft could NEVER improve it's search tool, ever, because someone else had made a better one. By my understanding, Microsoft has actually released this search tool with more features then Google has. My guess is that Google will follow suit, and improve thier search tool also. Competition is a good thing.

  5. Re:GOOD EFFORT?! on Microsoft's Upcoming Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 1

    Windows has had file searching support since the very first versions. It's not like google is the first company to think "hey, it would be nice let people find files". Microsoft is just expanding the functionality of thier existing search application to included a toolbar and new technology because they have some new competition. Isn't that how competition works? You get new features because 2 compeeting products are battling for market share.

    You don't think people that report to him have looked at it? He's an executive, it's not his job to personally look at every piece of software that wants to challenge IE.

    The only real difference is that we know how to stop terrorists...
    Then why don't we actually do it? Cause what we are doing now seems to be making the problem worse.
  8. Re:Still no Hard Drive on HP iPAQ hx4705 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    most laptop hard drives are the same size as my dell x30, and they weigh more too. Also, they would suck the battery dry in a matter of 5 minutes. PDAs need to be mostly solid state because they are constantly moving, chaning angles, and in danger of falling the the ground. A laptop drive just isn't practical. Next month SanDisk is releasing 2GB SD cards, so storage shouldn't be a problem.

  9. Re:Buy a comparable Dell for half the price... on HP iPAQ hx4705 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    The Dell display on the X30 is awesome. I own a zaurus SL-5600 too, and the X30 is miles ahead of the 5600. The 5600 screen seems to have an odd "shimmer" to it if you don't keep your head perfectly still.

    Polly would run around the streets but no one else is to be seen.

    The streets where giant robots are running amok? The streets where we heard the "the city is being evacuated" announcement moments before?
    Those streets?
    If there was an evacuation order moments before then shouldn't the streets be filled with people evacuating?

    I've been playing "cd based" games for many years now, including computer games. I think I have dammaged one CD by rolling over it with an office chair, and one from water dammage. Both were replaced by the company for the cost of shipping when I sent in the dammaged CD.

    The thing is, mod chips are not being abused. they are being used for exactly what they were designed for, for playing copied games.

    And therefore.... what? I bet you had some really good arguments about the safety of airlines before 9/11/2001...
    And I still do. Even considering 9/11 they are still one of the safest ways means of travel. Contrary to what republicans believe, the world did not suddenly change on that day. It's the same as it always was, minus one building. My point was that nuclear power plants can not be called "magnets" for terrorism since they don't actually attract terrorists.

    Ohh yes. They are such a magnet for terrorists that how many exactly have been attacked? I have refrigerator magnets stronger then that. Has there ever, in nuclear energy history been any kind of direct attack on a nuclear power plant, or any attempted or successful sabotage? None spring immediatly to mind for me.
