    ...So much pointless fud. Ballmer hasn't been their ceo in quite awhile. Even your crap about Thunderbird, thats a bug in that program not windows.

  3. you just have to trick them on Comcast's Incompetence, Lack of Broadband May Force Developer To Sell Home · · Score: 0

    Once the work order is generated it will happen anyway, my address had never gotten a cable run to it and Comcast wanted to charge for an install. I signed up with a similar address, then called and corrected the addres. Their own installer called and ordered the trenching when he got there and it was free. :)

    Erate requires that we do so or else give up massive federal network subsidies. Among other requirements we must moderate all forums. Obviously impossible, so blame the feds that you can't use facebook.

  6. tall order on Hard Drive Reliability Study Flawed? · · Score: 1

    But this is possibly the worst slashot article in awhile. The study specifically mentioned drive models and ages. In any case i have massive stacks of bad seagate drivea from my datacenter and a much lower number of dead western digital drives. Those are all Enterprise modela, not consumer.

    he was especially smart about it by searching for words not found in his title but that were found is another authors title.

    to get better results i suggest searching for your title "Compression Algorithms for Real Programmers", rather than searching for a combination of words not found in it. obviously searching for random keywords is going to bring up books other than yours since they are more popular.
