  1. Re:Hardware cost on Syllable - The Little OS with a Big Future? · · Score: 1

    No, you saw Mac OS X ported to PC hardware and you (and most everyone else) failed to buy it. Which is why it will never happen again.

    Tempted by Mac OS but not thrilled with the hardware cost?
    Yes, the price of entry is outrageous!

    It was part of my settlement with Red Hat. They're dropping their charges against me for pirating linux.

    Microsoft is no stranger to astroturfing. I wonder how much the intern was paid for that post.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but hard drive manufacturers have always used round numbers.

  8. Re:They've also looked into censoring web broadcas on FCC Looks Into Regulating Violence on TV · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There's no such thing as a "Web broadcast". Broadcasts mean that you're sending information in a broad manner. Web streams are no-sort-of-casts because they have to be requested before the information is transmitted. This is important to realize when considering whether or not the gov't has their normal TV regulation authority over Web streams.

  9. Re:Click on the "Bourne slays competition" link... on Microsoft Plans News Aggregator · · Score: 1

    Yes, the first time I clicked on that link I saw Bush Pedals New Program: Mountain Biking. When I clicked on it again later I did get the proper The Bourne Supremacy page.

    You're probably right. Xbox 2005. Maybe it'll be Xbox XP.

    The Xserve was going to be called the iRack until George started talking smack about Iraq.

  13. Re:No, you need experience. on Sun Microsystems, a CEO's Last Stand? · · Score: 1

    The cool thing about being a CEO is that when you run a company into the ground, it is looked at as experience when you are hunting for your next CEO gig.

  14. keypads on Nokia Losing its Cell Phone Dominance · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They might sell more phones if they didn't put stupid non-standard keypads on all of theirs. I know I used to love Nokia, but I switched to Sony Ericcsons for the Bluetooth, Java, and a normal keypad. I never use the stupid camera on the phone.

  15. Re:Taking Sony - Not going to happen. Yet on Ballmer - Xbox 'Can Take Sony' In Next Generation · · Score: 1
    will have to re-write DirectX, build a RISC OS for it and then there is Live I would say there will have to re-write most of that as well. MS has never writen software for RISC in the past and I think that the time frame they have set themself is very unrealistic.
    I guess Windows NT for PowerPC was a figment of my imagination, then.
  16. Re:Sad but (maybe) true on Ballmer - Xbox 'Can Take Sony' In Next Generation · · Score: 1
    I wonder how many folks that refuse to give money to Microsoft based on moral reasons evenly apply their morality to other purchases. Do they make sure they buy fair-trade coffee? Refuse Nike shoes? Purchase food that wasn't grown by a factory-farming corporation? Buy 'dolphin-safe' tuna?
    It depends on that person's individual morality and their enlightenment on such issues. And, yes, they do.

    If you want to punish Microsoft by increasing their installed base, I suppose you could attempt that. It'd be like punishing a squatter by giving them more land, though.

  18. Re:neXtBox chips? on Apple Confirms G5 Based iMac to Ship in September · · Score: 2, Funny
    There's no way I'm calling it XBox2, because MS are never going to have an *2 competing with a *3 (e.g. PS3).
    So, they're going to name it after Steve Jobs second company?

    With the Broadcast Flag, the only person that can supply evidence is the broadcaster. This is a good law. If we can ever get rid of the Broadcast Flag, this'll be a bad law.
