  1. Re:this is not an error on Lost Credit Data Improperly Kept, Company Admits · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So you made a return without a receipt, and they were able to pull up your transaction to make the return without a problem... and you want to forfeit that?

    Security is fine and all, but I really like convenience, and I really like that when someone screws up, my bank fixes it. They can go hand in hand.

  2. Re:Outdated on Apple to Lock OSXi to Apple Hardware · · Score: 1

    That profit is negated with the rapid increase in support calls due to the sudden need to support the myriad of current PC hardware, crap or otherwise.

    Man, it is cold in hell today. Brr. :P

    Are you aware of how a battery works?

  5. Re:Maybe not. on iTunes 4.9 To Support Podcasting · · Score: 1

    You'd be surprised at how many places use products like Dreamweaver and GoLive on a daily basis as part of their workflow. At my last employer, us developers used our tools, and the front end people used Dreamweaver. It supported our templating systems, and they got their work done.

    *streams some audio*

    Well, that works. What on earth are you talking about?

  7. Re:Wow, pick on apple day on Safari And KHTML May Never Meet · · Score: 1

    The KDE specific code was useless, Apple made it useful to them. There's a lot of useful code that's sending back, it's just not in a cute little package for them. So much whining and wankery.

  8. Re:Yes, but... on Safari Passes the Acid2 Test · · Score: 1

    I don't believe he does get all the credit for Konqueror's success. In this case, it's passing the Acid2 test. On his blog, you can see how far he had to make it. :\

  9. Re:Yes, but... on Safari Passes the Acid2 Test · · Score: 1

    Yes, but he's been working on KHTML and Safari for quite a bit longer. And if you care to notice, all work is submitted back when each Safari release occurs.

  10. Re:Go Apple! on Safari Passes the Acid2 Test · · Score: 5, Informative

    Nope, not quite. You can't compile Safari, but you can compile WebKit, which is Safari's rendering engine. Drop in the new WebKit, and Safari has those changes. :)

  11. Re:What's In Your Box? on Microsoft To Add A Black Box To Windows · · Score: 1

    Seconded on m0n0wall. As much as I hate "Me Too" posts on Slashdot, m0n0wall really is an amazing and well thought out system.

  14. Re:Shhh!! Secrets. on Nintendo Revolution Under Wraps Past E3 · · Score: 1

    Yet the GameCube HAD outsold the XBOX, and the GameCube outsells it in many foreign markets. The need for a source is justified whether you feel it is 'common knowledge' or not.

  15. Re:Shhh!! Secrets. on Nintendo Revolution Under Wraps Past E3 · · Score: 1

    I'm amused that you cry out 'Source!', refute, and then don't provide a source yourself. Also, it's quite important that they make money. You see, companies 'make money' to 'justify the continued sales of a product'. I know that might be hard to understand, what with your weekly allowance, but business justification and profit are quite important to a company.

    Microsoft's XBOX is successful because it gives them a name and opens the door to future sales.

    Nintendo's GameCube is successful because it makes a lot of money and continues to increase their mindshare.

    Sony's Playstation 2 is successful because it sells like a motherf*cker.

    I wasn't aware that his post had anything to do with the GOP, just with the State of Washington.

  17. Re:Running older hardware?! on Mac OS X "Tiger" Enters Final Candidate Stage · · Score: 1

    That could probably be used to describe a 350 MHz iMac, but on any 450 G4 and above I've used, as long as you have 512 meg of RAM, it's pure gold.

  18. Re:Kubuntu on Kubuntu, ArkLinux Announce KDE 3.4-Based Releases · · Score: 2, Informative

    heh. apt-get install xfce4 did wonders for me. ;) For extra good times, add the repositories off the xfce site for the most up to date xfce. :)

  22. Re:iTunes? on Motorola Announces E1060 Phone With iTunes Support · · Score: 4, Informative

    No, no. Nokia is using Windows Media Player. Motorola is using iTunes software, so it supports DRM'd AAC as well as the other formats. :)

    GPL is a deathwish. Not everything has to be completely free, you know.

  25. Re:Why a PITA to admin? on Worm Hits Windows Machines Running MySQL · · Score: 1

    I agree with the Perl remark. ;)

    For most database administrators with a clue, pg is just as easy to deal with as MySQL. For those who are MySQL's target market, pg is intimidating.
