  1. Re:I say good! on Pirates Steal Negative $1,400,000,000 from Music Industry · · Score: 1

    They aren't shipping less cd's. Read the article it clearly states that all of the sales from riaa related music are up $1.4B. The only category that declined was cassettes.

  2. Re:File Under: Just another study on LonelyNet · · Score: 1

    I barely even touch my George Foreman grill anymore. You must be crazy! How could you not use your george foreman grill it is one of the most fantastic inventions of the 90's! But seriously this study is crazy. I graduated hs going on 2 years ago and I spend at least 20+ hours a week on the internet. Mostly reading /. Yet even though I am online that much I am getting married this year and bought a house. But should we be surprised that yet another study is trying to explain to themselves and others who don't understand technology why we are the way we are.

  3. Re:What is the point of BSD? on BSD BOF at LinuxWorld · · Score: 1

    Bsd at this point is presently still much more stable at very high volumes of network traffic and or users on the system. As they noted ftp.cdrom.com was just in the last year or so switched from I believe a single PPro 200 w/ a lot of ram to an smp xeon or something equivalent. Correct me if I am wrong? Bsd tends to be a bit simpler in the way it works on a particular system that is just my opinion. My only problem with it is that a lot of the developers porting "x" app or util to linux are not including bsd. Just My 2 cents.

  4. Alzheimers on Putting Your Brain into A Computer · · Score: 1

    I can see the medical potential to be rather good because doctors could hold all of the info in your brain at a certain time in your life. And later if by chance you got alzheimers then "if" they had a cure sometime later they could theoretically replace the info in your brain with the info from the "backup" from however many years previous. Interesting to think of anyway. I suppose they could also do roughly the same for amnesia patients.

  5. Better Linux Clients on Napster Server Protocol Has Been Published · · Score: 1

    This seems like fairly good news. Imo if the riaa is able to defeat napster in the lawsuit then we have all of the new servers people can put up. Independent of napster of course. Although the riaa doesn't have anything on napster anyway. Best of all this should result in considerably better linux clients which is what we all want!

  6. Re:Name *ONE* technology Microsoft's developed on Apple Gets Testy About GUI · · Score: 1

    Even being an absolutely positive antim$ person as I am I must say that I absolutely agree with what was said. I believe that without the evil inspiration of microsoft we may not be where we are today. I also think that apple may have been there instead. In otherwords all of the homeusers might have some scary fruit colored mac instead of pc's with windows. But who knows.

  7. Not just office on DOJ Allegedly Reaches Consenus on Breaking up MS UPDATED · · Score: 1

    What about NT server and all of its licensing... I would say that is where a great deal of the micro$oft revenue comes from.

  8. Re:Dell in a nutshell on Dell Supporting Linux on Laptops · · Score: 1

    If I'm not mistaken I was under the impression that when m$ sold (I believe) xenix? to sco they signed some sort of legal proclusion forcing them to never enter the unix market again. Correct me if I am wrong.

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

    Actually intel has made common business desktop pc's since at least the 486sx and still continues to make them.

  10. Re:Mozilla is not dead then. on Intel Plans Linux/Mozilla Web Appliance · · Score: 1

    Mozilla is actually quite alive, they just aren't concerned with adding "features" before getting the current browser to work reliably.

  11. Re:debian on Review of Corel Linux 1.1.2 · · Score: 1

    You really don't need to use dselect with debian. If you like rpm with redhat then use dpkg with debian. It is quite simple and it works a lot better.

  12. Maybe it will slow it down! on Uri Geller sues Nintendo's Pokemon · · Score: 1

    Maybe this will slow down the pokemon buzz. Would this be a bad thing?
