  1. Re:Same with every new chip Intel produces on Tom's Hardware Retracts P4 Endorsement · · Score: 1

    Actually, inside Intel they call such intermediate chips as "enablers" because they "enable" manufacturing of new chipsets and related peripherals. Then the actual "new" product is released on top of the already existing infrastructure.

    Same for P4 - it's an enabler.

  2. Re:TCO Benifits? on Gartner Group Squints At Future OS Growth · · Score: 1

    The total-cost-of-ownership argument on behalf of Linux will disappear (Unix platform vendors like IBM and Sun already offer their Unix OSs at virtually no charge).

    Sounds strange. Didn't IBM begin to bundle Linux with its servers as an option?

  3. Re:Well... on Mac OS X Beta Reviewed On ArsTechnica · · Score: 1

    Except NT, unfortunately...

  4. Re:Spendable Karma on Interesting Moderation Proposal · · Score: 1

    Then I can create 10 different accounts and mod myself up... enough said.

  5. Re:Ram disk on Macs on Other Uses For The Linux RAM Disk? · · Score: 1

    Is there a need to store NS cache in ram disk? Netscape already has the option to disable the disk cache and increase the memory cache instead.

  6. Re:Can we PLEASE get a new extension? on Copying A DVD To A CD? · · Score: 1
    We aren't even limited to the 8.3 naming system

    We are still limited to, because sometimes CD burners refuse to copy files with longer names and extensions.

  7. Re:Death to Emacs and vi! Ed is the standard edito on A Metric Ton of Quickies · · Score: 1

    Haha, so funny :-))

    But edlin is the product of Microsoft, not the IBM as I remember...

  8. Re:Spam isn't the only form of shameful advertisem on Spam, ISPs, MAPS And Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    The hosts file is under
    \windows
    on windows9x;
    \winnt\system32\drivers\etc
    on winnt
    and
    /etc
    on unix/linux.

  9. Re:Wow ! on IBM Releases SashXB · · Score: 2

    Actually, it is *NOT* a Lotus Notes client, which would be too hard to implement using only HTML and Javascript (eg replication)... It is only a Lotus Notes Mail client, and this is only a subset of the Notes' capabilities...

  10. Maybe useful... on Wireless Keyboard... Without The Keyboard · · Score: 2

    If it is combined with cellulars, palms or even notebook computers where the main problem with the size is the keyboard, it would be somewhat useful.

  11. Re:Voice recognition ?!?!?! on Color Palms to Debut in February? · · Score: 1

    Voice recognition, in a very simple way, does work for cellular phones. Let's start...
