    Well, if they did those things...sounds like they are criminals...point please?

    Doh! Sorry bout that :)

  4. Re:Make an entry level computer! on Apple vs. Microsoft Myths Revisited · · Score: 1

    $2799 for a dual 1.8? Where the hell did you pull that number from? The Apple store has them for $1,999 with the exact same configuration.

  6. Re:Don't Forget on UK High Court Rules Modchips Illegal · · Score: 1

    let me guess...no kids?

  7. Re:New Design: on New iPod Design Pictures Leak · · Score: 1

    Well, at least based on the 2G iPod (with a new battery) My wife's Archos (Studio 10) seems to have about a 2 hour edge over my iPod.

  8. Re:Shrug and Reboot? on GNU/Linux Clears Gov't Procurement Hurdles · · Score: 1

    If you really need 100% compatibility you can run Office with Wine

    Uhhuh? Can you give me a link to simple instructions on how one accomplishes that miracle?

    http://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover/

    While not exactly Wine it does do the job.

  9. on a personal note on Atomic Veterans Speak Out · · Score: 1

    My father and all his brothers except for the youngest joined the service at about the same time in the early 50's. They all developed various illness (in my father's case, heart problems and lupus) but the youngest brother never had any major problems and their parents lived until their 90's (my dad died in his 50's) To this day I wonder if they were exposed to something that caused their problems.

  10. Re:Huh? on Commodore - Back In The Hardware Biz At Last? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Heres a hint...the full name of the VIC computer was the VIC-20.

  11. Re:Cognitive Dissonance? on Beastie Boys Respond to DRM Claims · · Score: 0

    Uh...you can burn your purchased iTunes tracks to CD. I've done it several times. Do you actually know what you're talking about?

  12. Re:michael moore called on Linux in Iraq · · Score: 1

    At least Moore's "bullshit" doesn't get people killed.

  13. Re:I really despise your sig. on Lauren Weinstein: If MTV Calls, Hang Up · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Pity there isn't a -1 "humorless" mod.

  14. Re:Advice on Uniquely Bright: Experiences and Tips? · · Score: 0

    Whatever...I've never been to France and I think GBW is a dumbass.

  15. Pretty cool on Linus Torvalds Moving to the Silicon Forest · · Score: 1

    The OSDL office is about 10 mins from where I live.

  16. Re:"Oh, hurray"? on United Video Properties Nabs TV Playlist Patent · · Score: 1

    um..he was being sarcastic.

  17. Re:Good. on "Buffalo Spammer" Gets 3.5 to 7 Years · · Score: 1

    Gives new meaning to "Buffalo Stance" doesn't it?
    (All due apologies to Neneh Cherry)

  18. Re:I dontated $5 to Gentoo on Slashback: XPiracy, Panel, Gentoo · · Score: 4, Funny

    You're right...it should say "Your products will COMPILE within 2-5 working days".

  19. Re:Market saturation.. on E3 Draws Close, Companies Reveal Games Ahead Of Time · · Score: 2, Insightful

    May not be all that unreasonable. Note the use of the word "products" perhaps not all the 5K are actual games but game controllers...etc. Also consider that this probably includes all the games for the PC,Mac,PS2,GC,GBA and Xbox.

  20. Re:Common Sense on U.S. Gov Agency Blunders With Keyword Blacklist · · Score: 1

    The problem with common sense is that it is rarely common.

  21. Re:Slashdot editors are stupid on What Lies Ahead For Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    Ok...I'm calling it either flamebait or ignorance. You do realize that the stuff in quotes is from the submitter right?

  22. Re:What stopped me from downloading on iTunes 4.5 Authentication Cracked · · Score: 1

    You do realize that you have to install iTunes in order to download the song right?

  23. Re:The Biggest Problem With Linux on Groklaw Tries Their Own Linux Usability Study · · Score: 1

    Um...are you dense? YUM (which I believe is the equivalent of apt-get or urpmi) has nothing to do with compiling an app. It downloads the requested program (AND IT'S DEPENDENCIES) and installs it.

  24. Re:Too lazy as well on The Joy of Random Shuffle · · Score: 1

    90%? I wouldn't bet on it :)

  25. Re:For Once I don't Agree on Playfair Relocates to India · · Score: 1

    Well, not that I'm a big fan of DRM but iTunes allows you to burn to CD already.
