  1. High society on Frankenstein Time · · Score: 1
    . Unfortunately for the world, it's hard to imagine a more poorly equipped society to deal with the Human Genome Project than the U.S.

    Ha! Is Jon trying to be serious? Who here can't come up with a rather lengthly list of other societies more poorly equipped than the US for this project? It isn't hard.

  2. Re:First Mistake: Dumbass name on Microsoft Releases C# Language Reference · · Score: 1
    You never heard of the C+@ programming language? (I swear I'm not making this up.) --PSRC

    Shiver. Jim Fleming was and will always be a kook.

  3. Re:HOORAY! (voice?) on Palm Moving From Dragonball To ARM/StrongARM · · Score: 1
    Does anyone out there see a rampant demand for a voice activated handheld?

    Did anyone out there see rampant demand for yet another PDA when the Palm first hit the market?

  4. Re:My letter to Netpliace... on Netpliance Ban I-Opener Mods · · Score: 1
    They also failed by forcing the user to purchase a completely different product in addition to the item he/she originally purchased. These actions have consistently spelled death for any product marketed in such a fashion. Repeatedly.

    Such as the cell phone industry, pagers, and satellite to mention a few...

  5. Re:Bundling like this is illegal.. on Netpliance Ban I-Opener Mods · · Score: 1
    Isn't bundling one product with the requirment of a use of another against the law? According to what they are requiring, it's not a refund, discount, etc, for using their service. One requires the other, and if you buy it, you *MUST* use their service, according to their supposed 'Terms of Service', which seems very vacant from their site for some reason..

    I bought my DSS setup for dirt cheap with the understanding that I had to buy a years worth of server. I got a great deal on this Nokia but I'm obligated to a year of service from the seller. Far from being illegal, it's quite comman and accepted.

  6. Re:free as in hardware? on Free 32-bit Processor Core · · Score: 1
    OK, we won that whole open software thing.

    Won? Microsoft still rules. Open source represents only a fraction of the market in many key areas. We won a battle, the war has just begun.

    Victory is far from certain, we have lots of work to do!
  7. Re:Quake3 on Laptop on Review of the Sony Vaio PCG-X9 · · Score: 1
    I've got to agree. I love my Powerbook. I've owned a couple of ThinkPads, a Gateway and a Dell. Powerbook rocks over them all.

    Yellow Dog Linux is working great. Haven't had time to mess with NetBSD.

  8. Everyone use the same cookie? on DoubleClick Taken to Court · · Score: 2

    We could all just edit our double click cookie to be the same user id. Imagine the demographic of that user! One hell of a web surfer.

  9. Re:PHP != ASP != JSP on LGPL and Licensing Freedom? · · Score: 1

    Why not JSP (Java Server Pages)? You get to break free from Win32 tyranny and have a great object oriented system that will soon support multiple scripting languages.
