  1. Can anyone verify this story? on Ask RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser · · Score: 1

    If this is true, I officially am banning anything having to do with Real for all of time.

  2. Works great for me. on Mozilla's Sunbird Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I've had it working for quite some time now.

  3. Re:Jesus H Christ on Red Brains vs. Blue Brains? · · Score: 1

    "While you respond in disgust, what happens if one day science does indeed discover that biology trumphs freewill? What if almost all of out behaviors are predetermined by chemistry?"

    Let's say that they do... Then what are we to think about the people that don't have that chemistry and actually did make a choice?

  4. Too bad it's not true on Defending The Skies Against Congress And The Elderly · · Score: 1

    It sure is funny.

  5. Re:So is it bad when install fails and then pegs c on Mozilla Releases Mozilla Sunbird 0.2 · · Score: 2, Informative

    I did the same and I didn't realize it would delete my calendars.

    The demo of this program was able to "undelete" them from my ntfs partition.

  6. So is it bad when install fails and then pegs cpu? on Mozilla Releases Mozilla Sunbird 0.2 · · Score: 1

    I first tried to install it and picked custom and chose developers tools as it was an option. This failed. So I manually had to quit the installer.

    I then reinstalled and chose standard.

    Now when I launch Sunbird with or without extensions it pegs my cpu and never starts up. The old version worked.

  7. Re:Does the 6800 DDL work on windows? on Nvidia 6600 Series Examined · · Score: 1

    Apple sells the 6800 DDL specifically for those monitors and it's PCI express I think. So shouldn't the connectors work?

  8. Does the 6800 DDL work on windows? on Nvidia 6600 Series Examined · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Apple has a special version of the 6800 called the Dual Dual Link that can be doubled up to stack two of their new 30 inch monitors. In total this would give you 8.2 million pixels.

    Does anyone know if this $600 card will work on Windows?

  9. They aren't serious unless they get in. on Dealing with Intruders? · · Score: 1

    Figure out who they are and give them evil glares while in the cafeteria.

    I know I for one have accidently typed root for my login name on someone elses box on more than one occassion.

  10. I'm screwed on Big Brother In Your Front Seat · · Score: 1

    If they're going to start doing this they might as well put a governor on my car that rev limits it the the mph of the current road I'm on.

    I speed all the time. Usually only 5-9 over but I push the limits.

    I do 10-80s every once in a while getting onto the highway when no one is around. This can't be good for my insurance rates which are currently excellent.

  12. I'll try it but I still like OE setup better on Mass Migration/Bughunt For Thunderbird Tuesday · · Score: 1

    The one thing that OE does really well is lets you setup your accounts/identities in a very logical manner.

    Thunderbird was really close but not quite there last time I checked. I'll try again though.

  13. SPF is the solution on CAN-SPAM Is A Bust · · Score: 1

    People running mail servers need to put SPF in place and give it a soft-fail until 01/01/2006. That gives everyone over a year to get it ready.

  14. Re:Ford? posh on Ford Launches First American Hybrid · · Score: 1

    I've owned 3 Fords.
    '87 GT Convertible
    '98.5 SVT Contour
    and my current one: 98 SVT Cobra.

    (We also currently own a mazda (owned by ford no less) '01 Protege MP3 and while it's a nice car by far it's had the most problems.)

    All three were/are excellent vehicles. I can see how a taurus is a piece. Every manufacturer has good products and crap products.

    Ford trannys are crap. Plan on rebuilding them eventually but when you rebuild them you can make them awesome. I had a fully manual valve body in my original mustang's aod. The contour needed new synchros once (my fault).

    The cobra needs new synchros too (my fault again).

  15. He made it back into XP home as a dog on Windows XP SP2 Still Rough Around the Edges · · Score: 1

    Every time I fix someone's PC and do a find from windows explorer there's clippy's little dog trying to help me find files on the computer. Seriously, I don't need his help.

    For anyone with old dos games, don't bother dual booting or trying to use dos sound drivers.

    Just emulate the hardware!

  18. More weight, more expense, what about rust? on Remote-controlled Bolts and Screws · · Score: 1

    What happens when these bolts rust as all bolts do? Time to break some more screw extractors?

  19. One reason why. on Cell Phones Becoming Profitless · · Score: 1

    For me personally, I balk at the idea of expensive cell phones because they generally only work with one provider. What if I get pissed at sprint and want to terminate my business relationship with them? My super phone needs to still operate all the other functions and I need to have other providers to choose from.

    I have the Treo 300 now with Sprint. Sprint has decent cell coverage but generally their service is crap. BTW, I hate this Treo 300/Sprint combo . Other than syncing to my PC it's useless because sprint suppossedly strips out caller ID from SMS messages so not only do I not know who the messages are from, I can't respond.

    What good is this giant keyboard then? I can still use it for palm apps, but I bought this phone so I could do SMS and now I can't.

  20. Real is suddenly the good guy? on Apple Not Too Harmonious with Real · · Score: 1

    I've always hated the Real format because of clunky players, etc.

    But I don't think there is anything wrong with what they've done.

  21. John Carmack stick it to Creative! on Creative Pressures id Software With Patents · · Score: 2

    Screw them. We will still buy your game.
    Creative is crap. Crappy products, crappy drivers, crappy support. In fact, I've heard that some of their drivers aren't even downloadable anymore.

    Please please please go back on your decision and go with your CPU based audio instead of their crap.

    I pledge to buy two copies if you'll do this, otherwise I'm only buying one!

  22. I did it in Oct. 2001 worth every penny on Experiences with Laser Eye Surgery? · · Score: 1

    I was nearly blind and now I can see awesome.

    I haven't had my eyes checked since the post op checkups so I can't tell you if it's gotten any worse but I don't think it has.

    I was so heavily dependent on glasses. I take it for granted now that I don't have to wear it but if I stop and think about how bad my vision is, the surgery truly was a miracle.

    Night driving I do have some starbursts around lights but I'm not sure if it's any worse than a person with naturally good eyes. It doesn't stop me from driving or anything.

  23. As a mail server admin how do I recognize SPF? on Microsoft to Deploy SPF for Hotmail Users · · Score: 1

    I understand publishing my records... But how do I make my server check and verify against published SPF records?
