  1. Re:Remember on Bush's Space Panel Seeks Public Input · · Score: 1

    Quite right, and an education system most or all people could afford.

  2. icann/w3c to government on Microsoft's Search Engine Plans · · Score: 1

    maybe if we switch our standards to the government we can finally have microsoft do things the right way with search engines. instead of relying on those pigeons.

  3. Re:$1.6B and dropping fast... on SCO Adds Copyright Claim to IBM Suit · · Score: 1

    i wonder what impact these symbol issues have with the dumbass investor. any know if there are published blunders out there?

  4. Re:Flamebait or not he's right. on Running a Business on Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    yes, netledger is quite nice

  5. Re:Too long. on Europe Joins Race To Send Humans To Mars · · Score: 1

    correct, i didnt mean to say he backed off. but the conservatives rallied on that spending point severly before the SOTU speech

    need to add the installation for him, maybe the fetching too.

  7. Re:Too long. on Europe Joins Race To Send Humans To Mars · · Score: 1

    Bush's program is already over, he took it out of the State of the Union speech even. The whole thing is on hold. NASA budget is merely investigative (which they had in special funding after their last crash) and in a nutshell lifesupport.

  8. Re:they care... on Microsoft's Mac Business Unit · · Score: 1

    Its so close to being a very good browser, but it seems to fall short in every area critically. Its bizzare standards problems being the worse of them all.

  9. Re:Not irrelevant on RIAA Files 532 Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    I saw some news where microsoft also had millions of emails that their fleet of lawyers told them to delete on a regular basis.

    Perhaps they have wised up and stopped archiving everything that can get them in trouble.

  10. xforms / jabber / roaming profles on Oracle Embraces Mozilla · · Score: 2, Informative

    they can start by making a cros platform xforms extension for mozilla, roaming profiles, intergrate their implimentation of jabber into mozilla as a extension.

    instantly mozilla would be ready for business in a serious way versus ie.

    oracle would have a full featured desktop client.

  11. Still no roaming profile on Mozilla 1.6 Released · · Score: 1

    They really need a sable roaming profile.

  12. Re:You linked to Microsoft's patch on Flaws Threaten VoIP Networks? · · Score: 1

    this can be gotten around with isolating those systems heavily. you can still run old stale systems in their vintage state.

    so if for isntance you need to run winnt 3.1 on your production floor you would have it segmented off from other networks.

  13. Re:FreeBSD and (I've heard) XP already do on MIT Technology Review Slams IPv6 · · Score: 1

    SGI Irix has it as well for quite some time now (early 6.x i believe) as did VMS I believe and Compaq Tru-Thing. i dont know the versions on those.

    I think SGI had a whole different rev of their IRIX however to support it (like do you want your machine IPv4 or IPv6)

    forget about AOL support ... you can group tracks now! awesome

  17. Re:MP3 not AAC? on iTunes 4.2 and QuickTime 6.5 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    yes with the lame plugin

  18. Re:Windows vs Mac OS X on PC Mag - Mac OS X Insecure · · Score: 1

    I would agree. Especially with Gateway and Dell installing everything under the sun on your computer to fuck it up these days.

    Only people who can really start from scratch with their media have a chance at stability. With OSX you could loose your install media and never need it.

    The Windows upgrades are terrible Win9X to WinXP upgrade is just a the kiss of death for the user stability ... Win95 to Win98 was horrible.

  19. Re:Price Limits on Finding Holiday Discounts on iPods? · · Score: 1

    You are correct.

    Also very hard to fix prices on stuff and compete on the open market with alternative products abound.

    Gas price fixing would be something we can all likely look at to for an example.

  20. Re:Yeah ... and? on Mame on the Nokia N-Gage · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    i seriously doubt that thousands of games work on that port.

  21. my Bounty on After The GNOME Bounties, It's Mozilla's Turn · · Score: 1

    I would quickly pay $100 for a solid cross platform roaming profile implimentation in the mainstream mozilla. I think plenty of people would jump at this as well o increase that amount quite easily.

  22. Re:Lower prices on Game Piracy Results in Lower Prices? · · Score: 1

    Then they are not reusing enough resources. I dont see why they need to remake captures, physics etc for each game.

    These engines and toolsets are supposed to make these things cheaper and easier. But it doesnt look like it.

    And there are a lot of crappy games out thre tht are at the same price point as the premiere games.

    And some games are merely repackaging / ports of existing games at that same high price.
