    i will miss the days of the 396s and 454s, but it is time to say good bye to them.

  6. OMG on Opera Security Patched In Secret · · Score: 2, Funny

    i bet Microsoft wouldn't do that.
    they would be 100% honest with us

    i can preprogram my cheat sheets onto a blank sheet of paper

  9. this could be cool on WiFi in Your Rental Car · · Score: 1

    on long road trips your passengers could chat with friends, look up roads on google.maps, or even check the weather.
    if you are driving with multipule vehicles, you could have a lan party or play UT.
    just think of the possibilities!!

  10. Elvis on U.S. Mass Declassified Documents At Midnight · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    at last we can find out where Elvis went!!!

  11. Galeon too on GMail Vulnerable To Contact List Hijacking · · Score: 2, Informative

  13. Re:Ubuntu on Ideal Linux System for Newbies? · · Score: 1

    not what i use, but it is what i recommend for newbies.

    it's as close as i've seen to "everything works".

  14. Re:drivers on Has the Desktop Linux Bubble Burst? · · Score: 1

    i tried Ubuntu for that very reason.
    and it was a very nice install, but in the end the ATI video harware was not accellerated.

  15. drivers on Has the Desktop Linux Bubble Burst? · · Score: 1

    i don't have a problem with the desktops, but they seem to be losing ground on drivers.
    the state of wireless drivers could use some help.
    mine works, but it's a pain.
    and i have yet to figure out how to get my ATI to do full 3D.
    it makes me appreciate my old nVidia harware.

  16. Pffft on Debian Delayed by Disenchanted Developers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    i've been running debian/etch(testing) for ages. the whole freeze thing doesn't matter to me.
    i don't know what everyone else has their apt sources pointed at, but the rate of updates haven't changed any that i can see.

    take your time, make it stable.
    then i'll switch to what ever the next one is.

  17. simply put on Another Small Step Before the Giant Leap · · Score: 1, Insightful

    no it doesn't make more sense.

    it was the distraction of the shuttle and ISS that cost us the last few decades.

  18. warning on An Early Warning System For Earthquakes · · Score: 1

    reminds me of the tornado warnings in middle america/central plains.
    by the time the Hams radioed that one was on the ground, it was confirmed, and a signal was sent to ativate the system, the tornados were often over.

    as my dad used to say, survivors will be notified.

    we just listened to the hams our selves.

    will there be a consumer version of this?

  19. that was fun on Windows Live and Privacy · · Score: 1

    i liked driving the wrong way down the one way streets.

    Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

  20. first new law on Get on the 'Gates for President' Bandwagon · · Score: 1

    the first new law will be to ban anything other than a one party system.

    choices have always confused voters anyway.

  21. does this increase or decrease noise on Future Ships Could Float On Bubbles · · Score: 1

    Just a thought.

    as it is the noise pollution ships create is having an effect on the environment.
    will the bubbles add to this or decrease it by possibly masking it?

  22. Mozilla Composer on Firefox Losing Its Way? · · Score: 1

    are they still developing the Mozilla Composer?

    i like to use it every now and then

  23. Novells patents are now void on Microsoft Taking Heat For Patent Stance · · Score: 2, Informative

    they list Novell as part of the OIN, but any patents that Novell has filed are now void because they have signed a promise not to sue.

  24. fine print and silver on Novell Responds To Microsoft's IP Claims · · Score: 4, Insightful

    even giving them the benefit of the doubt, they should have read the fine print.

    they've sold the community for 30 pices of silver.

  25. GIA affect on Stop Global Warming With Smog? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    it seems to me that the earth has already started to work on this approach on it's own.
    over the past few years as the ocean temperatures have increased, so has the techtonic activity. the number of earth quakes have been on the increase. i would speculate that an increase in volcanic eruptions will be next.

    the question will be what effect this will have on humans?
