  1. Wyse Sales and switch on Wyse Ditches Linux For WinCE · · Score: 3
    I don't recall seeing anything from Wyse. I have not seen Wyse in the stores. I remember themin the stores years ago, but nothing recent. Maybe they have a niche market.

    Maybe Microsoft made them one of those really sweet deals. Providing them with equiptment, money, and advertising. We made you a deal that you couldn't refuse.

  2. 20 whole or partial?? on Enigma Machine Stolen · · Score: 2
    Well, 20 partial machines won't do much good. Like having the all, but the one key McDonald's game piece for the $1,000,000 prize.

  3. Don't need an editor. on Which Processor Is Best For Real-Time Computations? · · Score: 2
    We are Borg, We are the Operating System, We don't need no stinking editor.

  4. Flamebait?? on Which Processor Is Best For Real-Time Computations? · · Score: 3
    Is this a real question?

    This is one of the questions that are in the category of "Which is the best editor?" or "Which is the best Operating System"" or "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?".

    Geeks have argued and fought over these (or at least the first two) for years, and will argue and fight over them until we are Borg.

  5. R.A.I.P. on Which Processor Is Best For Real-Time Computations? · · Score: 2
    I would think lots of inexpensive processors that are properly networked together.

    I'm not sure when the point of overhead in processing would overcome the advantage in numbers.

    Now, if it was not just redundant processors, but you offloaded some of the processing to special purpose processors. You might get a performance boost there.

    This would be limited by the "smartness" of the compiler to divide the tasks into good chunks.

    Should we all take a up collection and send Bill Gates into Space?

    What do you mean, you meant sending him into space without a rocket or a suit?

  12. They kept me on Andover Marketing Revelado · · Score: 2
    M$ kept me on hold while I installed from floppy.

    That's $2.99 a minute for 20 hours = $3588.00.

    I'm going to have to forget that new dual pentium II machine.

  13. This must be the clearning. on Why 1 L3ft Fr33 S0ftw4r3 F0r MS · · Score: 1
    This must be the result of the reset and cleaning of the internet.

    What other explanatin is there?

  14. Microsoft sued by MPAA or by Mattel on Andover Marketing Revelado · · Score: 2
    Since the emergency uninstall images are not the original images, it must be illegal.

    Microsoft must be violating the DMCA. Don't you know, any attempt to get by the "Click here if you agree, you are SOL if you don't" prompt is a violation of the DMCA. Even if it is by the company that owns the copyright!

    If you call 1-800-R-U-LEGIT, you may be able to get a $10,000 reward for turning them in.

  15. Lawsuit! on Andover Marketing Revelado · · Score: 4
    I spent the last 20 hours trying to fix the problem with my machine!

    I thought it was a windows problem, so I called Micosoft Tech support at 1-900-428-7448. They had me format my drive and reinstall Windoze, from the original floppies, 3 times. Then I had to get a new video card with a forreign language adapter.

    Please have your attorney contact my attorney at Dewey, Cheatem & Howe.

  18. And your point is? on Copyright Comments Redux · · Score: 1
    You have strayed way off topic. Is that because you find your own argument lacking?

    You claim that people who wrote CPHACK were distributing Mattel's list. Or helping in the distribution of the list.

    Now, you switch to saying we are now picking and chosing the laws that we want to obey.

  20. Re:Mattel shill on Copyright Comments Redux · · Score: 2
    What about outlawing large purses for women, since they can be used for shoplifting, or carrying concealed weapons.

    VCRs is a way to make illegal copies, so should that be outlawed?

    Coat hangers is a way to steal a car, should it be outlawed?

    A beer is a way to get drunk and drive. We all know what happened with prohibition.

  21. Do you have a red blanket? on Copyright Comments Redux · · Score: 2
    It many jurisdictions you are required to have a red blanket in your car. That is incase you spook a horse. I don't recall it being enforced in the last 10 years.

    I am talking about having some common sense in laws.

  22. Mattel shill on Copyright Comments Redux · · Score: 1
    His response seemed more than just someone who does not understand the danger of the DMCA.

    His response seemed as though it was in the corporate line of Mattel. Maybe I assumed that this person could not misunderstand the issues that much.

    Anyways, the easy way to make money off the list (if it was accurate) is to sell it as a Hot list.

    Save time finding porn, thousands of porn sites for only $19.00.

  23. Not false advertising. on Copyright Comments Redux · · Score: 1
    It can be considered fraud. Or unfair and deceptive acts under MGL c.93A which provides for legal fees and multiples of damages.

    It would be real cute to see hundreds of companies filing lawsuits against Mattel.

    It's all detailed on my site.

  25. steal their list of block websites??? on Copyright Comments Redux · · Score: 2
    Did you look at what CPHack did? Or what was provided with CPHack?

    Mattel is using that list to censor. Do you think that people who are using their product have a right to know what and why something is being blocked? What about people who Mattel intentionally and wrongfully block?

    It's interesting to note that there were several ways to bypass CyberPatrol but Mattel didn't make a sound. When the amount of censoring Mattel was doing (or how much they were screwing up) was made public, they cried foul.

    Do you think that software companies should file a lawsuit against floppy drive makers?

    There was a lawsuit to prevent VCRs or to tax blank video tapes. If VCRs became popular, everyone would make copies of movies and the studios would go out of business.

    Are you a Mattel shill?
