  1. They could get rid of them anyway if they had .. on Netflix Changes Its Mind, Will Keep Profiles Feature · · Score: 1

    a clue.

    1. migration wizard
    2. migrate selected profiles to new account with the same billing info.
    3. discount additional accounts under the same billing information to match the same rate as a single account with the same number of dvds.

    Now netflix gets what they want and the people want profiles (i'm one of them) get what they want (the same price and to keep ratings which would have been lost on the profiles).

  2. Use an old computer, it'll outperform nearly every on What NAS To Buy? · · Score: 1

    consumer grade nas appliance out there. Appliances just don't have the power/resources to deal with gigabit network speeds and transfers.

  3. Re:Buffalo anyone? on Netgear Launches Open Source-Friendly Wireless Router · · Score: 1

    The don't ship routers anymore because of an injunction I believe.

    I have one of the DD-WRT compatible G routers. Its awesome! :)

  4. Worst customer service ever on IRobot Looj Gutter Cleaning Robot Review · · Score: 1

    One of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had was with iRobot. I'm not going to go into details but basically our roomba broke after 3 months of use and it took them another 9 months to resolve the issue. 9 months.

    I will never purchase another product from them if it can be helped.

  5. Actually I notified them :P a year ago on Bell, SuperMicro Sued Over GPL · · Score: 1

    The week the MyShare was released. I also notified the gpl-violations. They (gpl violations, I never heard back from the busybox guys) were too busy suing other companies to follow up until November of 2007 I guess :)

    Yes, I want a cookie :P

  6. "The Worst Witch" on Orson Scott Card Blasts J.K. Rowling's Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    go read what that story is about sound familiar? That was written 34 freakin years ago.

  7. everything good about intel we owe to atm on Is AMD Dead Yet? · · Score: 1

    intel was making minor improvements to their technologies and charging ridiculous prices until amd came along and offered true competition. this is why monopolies are bad. its one of the quintessential examples of the last 10 years. i fear that intel will resume the same bs very soon.

  8. Re:So sue! on HD DVD Prices Slashed By Toshiba · · Score: 1

    saw a few stories about the HD-DVD camp paying studios but I certainly don't remember hearing anything like that from the blu-ray supporters.

  9. So will Microsoft will buy Novell and sue every on Microsoft Paid Novell $356 Million in '07 · · Score: 1

    distributor of linux for IP infringement after Novell wins there case against SCO?

  10. Shortage invented by Nintendo ... on Where are Wii? · · Score: 0, Troll

    80% of the appeal of the Wii is wanting something you cannot have. Once you get one you realize there is really nothing to it other than the Wii-mote and after awhile it feels like a gimmick. Just get a gamecube or a playstation 2 and open yourself to about a zillion $20 games.

  11. unimpressed with wii on Why You Can't Find a Wii for Christmas · · Score: 1

    i've had both a Wii and a PS3 since launch. I use the PS3 everyday and I haven't turned on the Wii since April. Primary reasons are this:

    1. the wii-mote gimmick gets old.
    2. the graphics look like total ass on an HDTV larger than 40ish inches.

    I really believe that the only reason they are so popular is because of the artificial scarcity that nintendo has invented. people always want what they can't have.

  12. Re:Hammer Myshare on Best Home Network NAS · · Score: 1

    they are also violating the GPL by using BusyBox without any GPL license notification (it has been reported). beyond that I've had good luck with mine.

  13. they cheapo units are selling ... on Kmart Drops Blu-Ray Players · · Score: 1

  14. Re:here's hoping online bill pay is re-enabled on FDIC Closes Netbank, One of the First Online Banks · · Score: 1

    Yeah I found out about that afterward. I'm not really concerned about it. All my accounts are FDIC insured and I'll just move things into my ING Direct if there are issues with Countrywide. In the meantime I'm going to keep it there for the 5.5% apy.

  15. How about a count of the number of people who ... on Thunderbird in Crisis? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    don't use Thunderbird simply because it doesn't have a Received Date option? I'm not kidding you. Every person I've EVER talked to about Thunderbird and why they don't use it brought this up. Its all these stupid little issues that they just ignore that got them where they are today.

  16. here's hoping online bill pay is re-enabled on FDIC Closes Netbank, One of the First Online Banks · · Score: 1

  22. Yet another money hemorrhaging linux company on Xandros CEO Doesn�t Agree Linux is Patent Violator · · Score: 1

    decides to sell out to M$. Honestly, its fine with me. Less company products to even consider when we need to make a purchase for our department.

  23. I'm convinced they pay this guy at Phoronix on Insight Into AMD's Linux Driver Development · · Score: 1

    to periodically release this BS just to keep ATI regularly on the Linux sites. Ever heard the saying 'There is no such thing as bad press'? Its a freaking joke, I've stopped reading these site all together.

  24. Doesn't "out of touch" imply that on Is Linux Out of Touch With the Average User? · · Score: 1
