  1. It wasn't really true though on Yahoo Boosts Email Space in response to Gmail · · Score: 1

    I got that error too, late last night. However, messages didn't bounce at that time, and it is now showing I have 2GB of space.

    Just a minor quirk I think...and it all appears ironed out.

  2. My Top 10 list ;) on First Ten Programs on New Install? · · Score: 1

    1. Windows update (But I do splitstream an XP SP1+hotfix install onto a CD anyway).
    2. Latest video card drivers
    3. Latest Sound Drivers
    4. 7-zip (covers lots of compression formats)
    5. Kerio Personal Firewall
    6. Cygwin tools (for openssh and a few other things)
    7. VanDyke SecureCRT. I know it's not free, but I like it more than Putty
    8. iTunes
    9. Gaim and the gaim encryption plugin
    10. Firefox and the Tabbed Browser Extensions

  3. Kosher isn't so simple on World's First 1GB Web Mail May Not Be From Google · · Score: 1

    As another poster replied...

    If an animal isn't killed in the right way or there isn't proper rabbinical supervision, it won't be considered kosher. I know, as I keep kosher and I never even see kosher turkey products in the store, I have to go to a kosher grocery downtown to get it...

    But as you probably implied, pork can't be kosher, no matter what. :)

  4. Don't be condescending on Why iPod Mini is a smart move for Apple · · Score: 1

    Just because I have a few hundred CDs doesn't mean I've ripped them all!

    I have like 6gb of MP3s myself... I don't like every single track on every CD I own, so I keep things pared down I guess.

    Call me simple. :P

  5. Joining on Orkut Goes Dark, At Least For A Bit · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How did they pick the initial 12,000 anyway?

    Looks interesting, but it is fairly hard to try if you don't know anyone who joined in the first place.:(

  6. Password security is not OS security on Debian Project Servers Compromised · · Score: 1

    Granted I don't know exactly what was entailed here... But no matter what your OS, if someone gets the password or other pieces needed for authentication, you are in trouble. Not all hacking involves exploiting actual holes in the OS.

    Won't argue with you about the general tone of the people at Slashdot, though.

  7. I want an NWN-like game that is license free on Hordes of the Underdark Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    Personally, I'd love for them to release something akin go an NWN game that was freeform enough for you to script in your own system.

    I'm sure I'm not the only one who has played games such as Harn, Ars Magica, MERPS, or the host of other games out there...

    I wonder if the licensing is strictly on the setting that is the problem, or anything D20 in general?

  8. Re:Educational Market on Ask Red Hat CEO Matthew Szulik · · Score: 1

    It's identical to install. It looked the same as Redhat9 when I did.

  9. No on HFS+ on iTunes Disables MusicMatch · · Score: 1

    Nope...

    iTunes on Windows cannot read HFS+ iPods. I have one and I know. You can install the PC software, but it will format it to Fat32, unfortunately. Check the support boards on Apple if you want more info (don't have a link on me now).

    Your whole argument is based on an incorrect assumption... I wish people would research before they moderated here.

  10. Unicode works for me on iTunes for Windows Reviews · · Score: 1

    There is too unicode support. I have a lot of Japanese MP3s, and I can go back and forth between Windows and Mac iTunes and update files and they look the same on both ends... I don't get garbage characters.

  11. Re:4" Heels on Tall People Earn More · · Score: 1

    Statistically, yeah I guess 5'10 is quite a bit taller. But I don't feel like a "towering giant". I run into girls taller than myself all the time, especially if I'm working in the city. :)

  12. rofl on Tall People Earn More · · Score: 1

    LMAO. :)

    If the moderation system was working for me today, I'd mod you up myself.

    Anyway, no, the lumberjack comment doesn't apply to me. :)

  13. Where is Red Foreman when you need him? on Tall People Earn More · · Score: 1

    After lookin at a few of these threads, I think we need Red Foreman to come in and hose a bunch of guys down.

  14. I work with midgets on Tall People Earn More · · Score: 1

    Ok, I'm being slightly facetious.

    But, I'm a 5'10 woman. I think of all the guys I work with, only 3 are taller than me.

    One day I'll be boss and can command my own midget army....

  15. Sheesh :P on Tall People Earn More · · Score: 1

    Almost not worth a response...

    But I am willing to bet that supply and demand works out so that men earn more in that profession. ;)

  16. Re:4" Heels on Tall People Earn More · · Score: 1

    I guess there could be something there...

    But I don't know if the income discrepancy is the same in all fields. I know at my job I am paid the same as men in my pay range (more actually), so it's not universal.

    Perhaps out of the IT industry it's different? (My last job I was still in IT, but I was paid like 20% more than the male coworkers, who did less work too, so who knows).

  17. I don't need heels ;) on Tall People Earn More · · Score: 1

    I'm 5'10, I'm apparently 1" taller than the avarage guy and 6" taller than the average woman. lol.

    Now, I do have to admit, wearing heels to work really is sort of fun though. :D

  18. Irrevalent on PC World: Apple G5 Gets Trounced By Athlon 64 · · Score: 1

    Their point was that it is still apples to oranges. Word doesnt show anything about the CPU architecture, it only shows how well Microsoft wrote it on each platform.

    Plus, unless an app is recompiled, the Altivec functions will hurt the G5. I don't think there are cases where there is a similar occurence on Opterons...

  19. New Math? on Dell $38m Supercomputer [not] More Costly than VT's G5s · · Score: 1

    Doesn't 3TFlops/300 machines
    =10GFlops per machines?

  20. Just use SP1... on Maxtor's 300 GB Monster Reviewed · · Score: 1

    It will format fine if you have SP1. This is provided you don't have a BIOS limitation.

    I have a Windows XP + SP1 CD, and it can format a large drive fine, but without SP1 I had no luck.

  21. Nope on End Of the Line for SpeakFreely: NATed to Death · · Score: 1

    How would this work?

    It still knows where the packets are supposed to come from. By default it would not accept packets from your internal network if they came from the outside and entered the wrong interface.

  22. Re:Granted that was some average, but... on 2002 SAGE Salary Survey Finally Released · · Score: 1

    I won't argue there.

    It's just that I always hear people say that we get no time off over here. :) I couldn't go back to less than 5 weeks off a year any more, it is -so- nice.

  23. Granted that was some average, but... on 2002 SAGE Salary Survey Finally Released · · Score: 1

    I get 29 paid days off a year, which certainly isn't so bad. :)

    Also, my last job had 20 paid days off a year.

  24. Works here on Linux 2.6.0-test5, How To Incrementally Upgrade · · Score: 1

    My Intellimouse Explorer USB has never had a problem during bootup with any of the 2.6 kernels.

    I was using the stock 2.6.0-test5 yesterday, and i have 2.6.0-test5-love1 installed, and its also working fine.

    Maybe a bug with your USB chipset? Works fine on Intel ones here and the nf2 at home.

  25. Not all of us on Windows Virus Takes Out Gov't Agencies in MD, PA · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not all hospitals do.

    I work for one of the largest health care systems in the US, and we didn't even hardly get touched by this new virus. We did have I think one office (NOT in a hospital, one of the 'corporate' ones) get hit by this, but it only affected a handful of users.

    Then again, we are tortured by VMS and some Sun Mail programs... ;)
