  2. Annoying splash pages on Crossover Office 2.0 Released · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I was so close to throwing money at these guys as it *can* be a great product but I just found their "witty" embedded reminders too obnoxious.

    They practically take over your desktop.

  3. Asking who?? on Interview With Microsoft's Chief of Security · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Is that like asking a blind man to describe the color green?

  4. Evolution status on Preview Helix Code's "Evolution" · · Score: 1

    From the bottom of their front page: Status of Evolution Currently, the Calendar is the most complete of the components, since it is based on an already-existing product. Several important Contact Manager widgets have been written. Several components of the Mailer have been written, but the Mailer as a whole has not been put together yet. So it is just a preview...can't wait to see the full version! Nice work.

  5. Only a matter of time on Library Of Congress Will Not Digitize Books · · Score: 1

    I bet this is the same guy who tells his kids how he walked 10 miles uphill to school each way and HE LIKED it that way. His days are numbered and the chains of access will break.

  6. Details on Citizen Case, DVD-CCA, Napster, and MP3 · · Score: 1

    I think folks are getting bogged down in the nitty gritty. Has anyone ever thought what would have happened in Linus did not create Linux? Do we assume that another pioneer would have stepped his place? People say that the web is great at bringing people together, but more often than not it only brings out the worst in people. Instead of compromise and a discussion of ideas what we see is people banging away their agenda on their keyboards. The consumers will be consistently stomped on until we act as a people. And this isn't new, it happened back when AT&T owned the phones, Rockefeller owned the oil, and Adam owned the fig leaves. It is human nature and each new generation is disgusted by it, the only difference being in degree. And it takes someone or some group for people to rally around. It takes someone to stick their neck out at get it going. But what we have is a generation of keyboard commando's, used to spewing out online justice through flames. No stomach for any real confrontation. But what can I say, I am in the same boat. Banging away on these keys everyday making a living, waiting for stock options to come through. Looking out for number one.

  7. Teen Wolves on Total Lunar Eclipse · · Score: 1

    Lets hope we won't be deluged by old 80s TV movie stars roaming the streets...

  8. Hollywood Squares on The Simpsons Turn 10 · · Score: 1

    Bart Simpsons voice (and a few others) Nancy Carthwright (sp) is on Hollywood Squares this week. Not that I'm a fan or anything as I think it is one of the most over-acted shows ever put together, but it is cool to actually see these people. I can't imagine what the real Homer would look like?

  9. Time? on Jeff Bezos Named Time Person of the Year · · Score: 1

    C'mon now, who really reads this rag unless you're sitting on the pooper?
