  1. AOHell needs R&D, not Time/Warner. on Reactions to AOL/Time-Warner Merger · · Score: 1

    They really need to get their fuckin priorities straight. If they created software that worked, ran UN*X based, they might have something. They don't need Time/Warner, they will just exploit them. They will use them for media saturation and such. If you get Sports Illustrated, expect five free CDs every time you get your mag, or twenty pages of ads. (It pisses me off that they use CDs now. If they used Disketts still, then I could have dozens of disketts, and I would no longer have to buy them) :) (C) 2000 By Mr. Roboto. All Rants Reserved.

  2. You think libraries are bad? Checked schools? on View from the Censorware Trenches · · Score: 1

    Currently 16 and going to a local high school. They can legally lie to you and get away with it. You can't state anything that you want, and they can manipulate the rules to serve their purposes. Hell, it even says in the handbook "these rulse can change at any time" Students need to have more say in what happens to them. "Student Council" is just another chearleader squad to try and give this illusion. Mabye I just ramble too much.

  3. Nah, it'll be X rated on AOL and Time Warner Confirm Merger Plans · · Score: 1

    That seems to be all the Spam I get on AOL, besides Viagra and password scams. Oh well, who knows, whenever I turn on TNT, or TBS, I'll probally cringe now.

  4. Intel making computers? on Intel Plans Linux/Mozilla Web Appliance · · Score: 1

    They make a lot of chips and boards and such, but compters? New one on me. I suppose it's for market share or some crap like that. This effort could flop because computer makers probally won't like it and they might start switching contracts to AMD or Cyrix or such, but if it backfires, Intel is out of several Mil at the least.

  5. I don't care that much as long as Gore/Perot lose on Geeks, Geek Issues and Voting · · Score: 1

    Gore or Perot in the oval office is a very chilling thought indeed. By the way, potato! I want someone pro freedom of speach, anti gun ban, who gives minors more rights than they currently have, mainly restrictions on searches and questioning. Those morons badger students, and perform searches that would be illegal if they were adults. I also want a canidate who would ban so called "Profiling" software because it's a form of persecution. This would cause massive amounts of lawsuits if the people involved weren't minors. I would also like for admin not to be able to lie to students legally. It happened to me once, it could happen elsewhere. In general, an end to all the Orwellian crap that takes place in schools.

  6. Bout time. on Australian Gov't Censors Censored · · Score: 1

    Someone should have screwed up thier server long ago.

  7. About time on Richard Stallman Calls for Amazon Boycott · · Score: 1

    Maby this will bring Amazon to their senses, but probally not. The net isn't for one person to own or controll in a manner like that.

  8. I think it's the drug companies on Surgeon General Says 1/5 of Americans are Nuts · · Score: 1

    I think that the prob is either blown out of proportion by people wanting to sell drugs or otherwise. The fact that there have been big scandals about doctors giving Ritilan to childern who aren't even ADD, without any mental health professional even speaking to them. Pills like Ritilan and prozac cost on average $2 and more. With cash like this involved,there was probally at least some influence from coorperate america in that %22.

  9. They did something similar with the P-III on Cursor Software Tracks You On Web · · Score: 1

    The P-III has a "Seiral number" in the chip that leaves it's number everywhere it goes. This is also a possibility for web tracking, and marketing purposes. Try www.bigbrotherinside.org

  10. This is stupid and very disturbing on Corel Linux Only For 18 and Up · · Score: 1

    The open source principal of Linux is to make source avaliable to all. I'm 15 and I'd kinda like to get the source to play with. (Since they can't hold me to the contract because I'm a minor and I don't really care, I might just download it anyways or have my parents do it) They are defeating the very purpose of the open source movment. It's very ironic since many people under 18 have helped devolp Linux into what it is. They should change their ways, or find someone else who isn't a minor to get thier source from so they aren't being so damn ironic. Domo Arigato

  11. I wanna get a K-6 II! on Geek Christmas Ideas · · Score: 1

    I want to get a K-6 II and replace that ageing PI @75 MHZ in my old box. A bigger HDD would also be nice. (Running 640 and 428 MEG)

  12. DVD miorrs on Activist Defends DVD Hack · · Score: 1

    If you look on www.2600.com, I think that they have the files and an image of the site.

  13. The Netscape we know is dead on Has AOL Ruined Netscape? · · Score: 1

    The Netscape we used to know and love is dead. It's just that simple. Steve Case is evil. A campaign is needed to stop this insanity. Steve makes nearly anything he touches wither and die. AOL is an evil cooperation. I presume Netscape, when restored to sort of normalness, will produce the same crap that AOL software does. I use it. (Not by choice, parents) It shuts down all of the time. I warn you all before upgrading when 5.X or 6.X comes out:It will be different, in an evil sort of way. In conclusion, the underdog known as netscape is dead, just another victim of cooperate greed.

  14. Re:Linux IS desktop ready. on Linux in the Enterprise: Fact vs. FUD · · Score: 1

    M$ still has the power. They havn't been forced out yet, but there'll be some major battles before this one is over, and sides taken. We'll know that M$ is truely lame when they release a GUI for Linux, or base one of their OSes on it.

  15. Re:Linux IS desktop ready. on Linux in the Enterprise: Fact vs. FUD · · Score: 1

    I heard somewhere (I forget now) that they are trying to config the Linux kernel to work on MAC. I've heard good things about their chips, but their OS is basically the same as in 1989, or when mac was sent out. I think they need to make an OS that's modernized, then their computers would kick ass. (If they were Linux compatible, I'd buy or salvage one.)

  16. Herc is cool on Guillemot Acquires Hercules · · Score: 1

    The res of herc for the time is amazing. For kicks, I'm going to install win95 on a herc card later. I've got WIN 3.1 running on a 386 smoothly, and as soon as I get linux going, I'll transfer it to my 386. (Worrying about HDD space)

  17. Greed and quality on Red Hat Buying Cygnus? · · Score: 1

    I hope that they aren't getting greedy. M$ used to be pretty decent untill they got greedy, then they got sloppy about their code. I dislike monopolies as much as the next guy, but if a product is supeiror, You'll buy it.

  18. Keyboards on Return of the Old-School Text App? · · Score: 1

    We have become wusses these days, being enslaved to our mice. I'm fifteen, and we got our first system in about 1989, and we only had a keyboard. (Of course, it was an 8088) I remember some excellent software for the keyboard, such as Xywrite, deskmate, Word perfect, and so on. Using a keyboard won't kill a person, in fact, I like the keyboard a lot, that's why I still like to use dos (Configuring Linux soon) a lot on many of my other systems. I honestly, can't wait untill processor technolodgy reaches it's practical limits, so we can go back to such programs.

  19. Re:What's ALL THE FUSS about this!!! on Microsoft Cracked · · Score: 1

    The problem is that NT security sucks. The code is just trashy. I thouhgt that NT servers are supposed to be more secure than Linux. (Linux myths, M$) The big deal is that they aren't standing up to their claims. (I used the M$ way of stating "Facts")

  20. Security is the point on Microsoft Cracked · · Score: 1

    NT claims to be secure, as posted on it's Linux "Facts" page. This proves that NT security is CRAPPY, proving them wrong. If NT is as secure as M$ claims, then why do they get hacked anyways? They own the software, know what it's source contains, and yet they are unable to fix loopholes in it. (Yes, I forgot to mention any Linux flaws, I guess I learned from M$ about posting "Facts")

  23. Speaking of leaks........... on Worlds Slowest NT Server · · Score: 1

    Do you know what happens when win 98 gets a mem leak error? You can't do jack with it, because the memory is GONE..........It's there, but it isn't there in win. I've had to reload win98 when this happens and it can happen on any win9X/NT40 system out there. The point of windoze is to be easy enough for my grandma to use. (I gave her a box with win on it, and she still doesn't get it) The software needs to be replaced. What they did is take old Scraps of code and patched them together in a nice GUI pattern. And Coward talks about linux FUD? Has he ever heard about DR dos or OS2? That's just plain hippocritical.
