  1. Re:What's right?...Choice on Windows Could Lose Media Player in Europe? · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has the right to include those but I have the right as a consumer to uninstall them and pick something else. Microsoft does not allow choice, therefore they are in violation.

  2. Re:Millitary app? on DARPA Offers No Food for Thought · · Score: 2, Funny

    I didn't say I complied.

    Besides, I don't spend all my time posting to Slashdot.....

    I am also working on my resume. :^)

  3. Millitary app? on DARPA Offers No Food for Thought · · Score: 5, Funny

    "So Darpa, the U.S. military's far-out research arm, wants scientists to figure out if soldiers can operate at top levels -- without lunch breaks."

    Sounds like my job requirements.

  4. No Problem on Exploit Based On Leaked Windows Code Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    Microsoft just needs to get a copy of the leaked code and look it over for potential exploits.

    Oh wait. :^)

  5. Re:Amazing... on BitTorrent's Creator Bram Cohen Interviewed · · Score: 1

    Well, He just contradicted himself. Not intended for widespread copyright infringement....got started Distributing Linux.....I'd say SCO would argue it was all about copyright infringment from the get-go!

    How do you distribute $699 as a .torrent anyway? ;^)

  6. The station wagon benchmark! on Good Demo System For A High-Bandwidth Link? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Load a station wagon with backup tapes and drive it across the parking lot. At the same time, initiate a huge file transfer. Display the transfer results as % of Station wagon loads/ft.

    That should be clear as crystal and plenty gee-whiz enough:^)

  7. Re:Repeat? on Spirit 'Will Be Perfect Again' · · Score: 1

    I sent an email to the mars outreach email address asking this same question several days ago. I have not heard back yet (not surprisingly). I am still concerned/curious.

  8. poetic? on MyDoom Windows Worm DDoSing SCO · · Score: 1

    I don't like virii of any kind. However It seems rather poetic to me that M$ used SCO to try and take down Linux and now some Linux folks are using M$ to try and take down SCO.

    Or something like that:^)

  9. Re:Why? on HP Licenses Apple's iPod & iTMS · · Score: 1

    Apparently they are attracted by Apple's Battery technology then? :^)

  10. slightly off topic but... on Lindows Ordered To Stop Using Lindows Name · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I noticed some striking similarities with this site when looking up some product info.

    Why doesn't MicroSoft go after these guys?

    http://www.microsemi.com/

    Name has the same MS looking name and font...Products are in multi-colored "windows"....

    Just thought it was funny. ;^)

  11. Re:USB Key only in Retail version on MandrakeMove Bootable Linux CD Announced · · Score: 1

    That is only because it is a BETA version at this time. The full version (which is a pre-order at this time) will support the keys and include one in the box.

  12. Re:Cool on 'Reversible' Computers More Energy Efficient · · Score: 1

    Well, I have read a lot of stuff and said to my self....What a load of crap. So to finish out that thought... Information=mass, and since Mass=energy...You're right Information=energy!! ;^)

  13. Still have one. on Video Card History · · Score: 1

    I still have a voodoo card. A Canopus Pure 3D. The machine it was in died, so it is sitting there with all the other dead machines. I actually thought of using it's tv out capability in another box for a MAME machine in the living room.

  14. Huh!? on FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE Reviewed · · Score: -1, Troll

    I thought BSD was dying!? What's this new release stuff?

    What's next...OS/3? :)

  15. Don't complain on /. on FCC Considers Mandating HDTV Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    Complain to your elected representives. I wrote to my represientatives as soon as I read about it.

  16. Re:I don't know what's scarier: on SunnComm Reconsiders Lawsuit Threat · · Score: 1

    "In fact the worse a lawyer you get, the more benficial it'll be in the long run. Think it over?"

    How about that David Boise guy? He hasn't won a case yet and should be available after SCO implodes shortly. ;^)

  17. PCs-Windows? on Microsoft-Antitrust.gov Opens for Public · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So is this where I go to complain if a computer manufacturer refuses to sell me a computer without MS Windows installed, or no discount on same computer without Windows? How about enforcing refunds if the terms of the EULA are not acceptable?

    Just a few thoughts.

  18. Still too much... on Universal Music To Cut CD Prices · · Score: 1

    ....for one decent song.

    Even that is giving the average album a LOT of credit.

  19. Re:How many of us take it for granted? on Where Is The Broadband? · · Score: 1

    Part of the problem as this article has pointed out is confusion over what "broadband" really is. The made some comment about FCC definition of 200Kbps in at least one direction. For a person with a cable modem, or sharing a T1, that might seem crappy and worthless. But for me , that's a 150% boost over what's available now, and I'd gladly pay for that "worthless broadband". People that live where there are Broadband options are taking it for granted, and wanting more. I just wish some of the money spent on population centers to offer 3-4 different types of 128Kbps and up service would have been spent on upgrading the rest of us stuck on sub 28Kbps phone lines with no alternatives.

  20. Re:Connected to my computer? on Where Is The Broadband? · · Score: 1

    What is that based on. There is no broadband where I live. Dialup is maxed out at 26.4Kbps, and my cell-phone works intermittently in town, and stops working all together about a mile from my house. I guess I am outside that "ubiquitous" area you mentioned. Or did that only apply to people that live in top 10 population centers?

  21. rabbits? on Cloning Yields Human-Rabbit Hybrid Embryo · · Score: 1

    Rabbits a re boring. Why not mix with something cool like a Gorilla?

    BEHOLD...the Man Ape!

    Oh wait... ;^)

  22. Cost analysis on US Army Signs $471,000,000 Deal for Microsoft Software · · Score: 1, Funny

    Insert $1000 toilet seat joke here-->

  23. Great Idea on Port Mozilla, Collect $3696 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Nothing like cold hard cash to get someones attention. This isn't "pay off the mortgage" kind of money, but better than a poke in the eye with a stick.

  24. Re:PKWare is hosed. on .ZIP Standard to Fragment? · · Score: 1

    Don't jump to any conclusions. It has nothing to do with popularity. The one that will succeed will be the one MS supports natively in the next service pack.

  25. Change on Why Johnny Can't Handwrite · · Score: 1

    Hystory is littered with changes in communication methods and styles. Perhaps it is time.

    I never learned to write in cursive, and didn't have a computer to distract me until after leaving High school. I wouldn't blame drops in handwriting trends entirely on computers. Crappy education systems are probably equally responsable.

    Of course, I can't type worth a damn either, so I am screwed ;^)
