  1. Not a surprise on Cisco Barges Into the Server Market · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Cisco might have a good shot at this. Project California might look appetizing to a lot of IT departments. Virtualization and consolidation is on the agenda for a lot of datacenters at the moment. All of these functions in one box, in one rack, AND easily manageable would appeal to a lot of CIOs. Deal with one vender instead of three - and a reputable vendor at that. Knowing Cisco, it will most likely be a bit pricey. But hey, no one ever got fired for buying Cisco right? On the other hand, a lot of people have been fired for blowing the budget.

  2. Math nerds are humans .. on Party Ideas For Math Nerds? · · Score: 1

    Just have a usual party with beer and music; see what happens... you don't need anything special.

  3. Earlier estimates had it priced at US$500 on Can REDFLY sell in an EeePC market? · · Score: 1

    Right there is enough for me to not even consider it. I bought a laptop with a Geforce 8400, 2 GB or ram, and a dual core processor for $600. Why the hell would I spend $500 on a crippled machine like Redfly?

  4. OO 3.0 on An Early Look at OpenOffice.org 3.0 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm looking forward to it. It looks to be visually impressive. Judging from the article OO 3 opened the .docx file with few flaws (one of them being the headers). The notes on the side seem pretty cool too. Seeing that one of the features is that it has official support for MAC may draw even more of a crowd to open office. Open source software is great...

  5. URL on ISP Block on Pirate Bay Not Having Desired Effect · · Score: 1

    http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ .... oh jeez, they've figured out a way to get around our bullet-proof DNS filtering scheme guys!

  6. You May Be a Victim of Software Counterfeiting on WGA Under Vista SP1 Is Kinder and Nags More · · Score: 5, Funny

    Nice popup window. Wait, who's the victim again?

  7. Re:back to the kernel, Linus. on Torvalds Says Microsoft is Bluffing on Patents · · Score: 1

    Right. When a company makes money, Microsoft wants it... the company, that is.

  8. Re:meh on Best Presidential Candidate, Democrats · · Score: 1

    There's no doubt it will be a hard choice for most voters, but there may be some assurance with Hilary. We don't know how Obama will be in office, but you can bet that Hilary will be just like Bill. If you liked Bill, you'll probably like Hilary. But there's a chance Obama could be a hell of a lot better.

  9. It all comes down to... on Best Presidential Candidate, Democrats · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Who can win against a white male - a black man or a white woman?

  10. Re:Google is Scared on Google And Microsoft Cross Swords Over Yahoo! · · Score: 1

    On the other hand, Google could be uneasy with the thought of the competition being one-on-one; especially against a company like Microsoft. I guess it's a game of who's the bigger "bully".
