  1. Re:But wait! There's more... on Why Microsoft Wants to Buy Google · · Score: 5, Funny

    Much akin to the progress indicator for transferring this file has been saying 30seconds for more than an hour.

  2. Re:Still using chains? on Bicycle Tech Drivetrain Advances Showcased · · Score: 1

    Seems like possibly a very steep hill / incline. But a wheelie non the less.

  3. Re:I find it highly unlikely ... on What the Candidates are Running · · Score: 1

    i am sure when you become president from a very low amount of washington exposure like bush did the acronym poisoning on your mind has to be pretty intense. the 'not another fucking acronym' has to be a common thought.

    with all the advisors that write hundreds of daily briefs to his aids, and his aids filtering it up to him i am sure its very common.

  4. Re:Microsoft on Linux Kernel Back-Door Hack Attempt Discovered · · Score: 1

    Dunno if there is anything here of public value:

    if ((options == (__WCLONE|__WALL)) && (current->uid = 0)) retval = -EINVAL;

  5. Re:to paraphrase on Voyager 1 Reaches Interstellar Space · · Score: 1

    Agreed, its all new news from here on. They didnt even know where it actually began. 30AU? 60AU? 85AU?

  6. Re:Feature? on iTunes Disables MusicMatch · · Score: 1

    Correct, music match (crippled) is ... so ... slow. Although the pro version is as fast as they could make it its still a dog.

  7. Suggestions on Red Hat's CEO Suggests Windows For Home Users · · Score: 0

    Wow, I cannot believe I am hearing this from this guy. I am totally dismayed. I definately feel sorry for the people that have to put time into their product and are getting the shaft.

  8. Re:Guess it's bout time on Red Hat Linux Support To End · · Score: 1

    they mean that is not compiled to match his zippy system.

  9. Re:First post for once???? on Alien vs. Predator Movie Trailer Available · · Score: 1

    yeah the trailer gives the 'story' away (as if they could sell it) ... and i think you meant antartica

  11. Re:what about all 3 major OS's on Mac OS X 10.3 vs. Linux · · Score: 1

    dvdrw is supported with panther
    ichatav seems to be working just fine with panther

    xcode versus what on windows side?

  12. only for pather? on Apple Forcing Panther Upgrade for Security Patch · · Score: 1

    only for 10.3? i hardly think that is true. this is more of a commentary on techreview's crappyness than apple's

  13. Re:WMDs... on EFA Claims No Illegal Material On mp3s4free.net · · Score: 1

    yeah, this has been the reponse. and if you google for that phrase you will have some luck.

  14. keyboards on Zaurus SL-6000 Prototype Revealed · · Score: 1

    no sure if i like these keypads ... i recently spent a week with a palm t|c and found the keypad to be nice. but the graffiti2 to be much improved over the the old version.

    that unit is very nice so fast and the tran-whatever screen was very nice. i would love to get rid of the keypad and reposition the buttons and a better joystick thing i would own one.

    previous to that i had a hp5555 and the import for that was horrible one wrong stroke and the recognition thinks you want a yen symbol? it was very unusable. not to mention the limited battery life and the heat that it creates was intense.

    a 320x320 zarus that did wifi/bluetooth and had a fingerprint mod that would be great

  15. Re:PDA's are a dead end on Zaurus SL-6000 Prototype Revealed · · Score: 1

    he also wants it based on the same techology as his smart card ... dont forget that requirement. man, if this doesnt sound like dilbert ...

  16. Re:It's not the end of the world... on Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 Removes Linux Support · · Score: 1

    exactly ... also with the applications they do paquire just like project and visio5, i'll be keeping my 6.0 virtual pc well backed up.

  20. keep on looking on Send an Open Source Project to COMDEX · · Score: 2, Insightful

    i would take gnuCash off that list and put something like Compiere. gnuCash is nice and all but at comdex it would look silly. it would be like taking Amanda there.

    same with Xmms, 'wow it looks like just winamplinux has a winamp clone, how cute.'

    MoinMoin? twiki blows this project away, you lost me on this nomination.

    spamassassin? wont mcafee already have spamassassin there in the form of spamkiller? but seriously ... maybe you could toss that into my qmail mix below somehow.

    how about showing off snort? or swan interopering with some real world hardware

    how about setting up five little machines running qmail and blast a million delivered mail messages between the machines per hour and have a big led bank sign as a counter? then add and import thousands of users dynamically using ldap.

  21. Re:American fanatics on Next Major War in Space? · · Score: 1

    I think its yet to be decided, since both are alive still. To pimp on this line of 'thought' even more ... if lilith is the mother of Caine. Which nation state is Lilith?

  22. Re:American fanatics on Next Major War in Space? · · Score: 1

    Yes, like the pope says "Judaism is Christianisties older brother."
