  1. Re:HP rates higher than Dell? on Top 40 IT Vendors Rated · · Score: 3, Funny

    You mean the "Let's just unplug all the SCSI cables attached to PCs with green lights to try and fix the one with no lights" Dell? Big time agreement on Dell's technical acumen.

    On the HP side, we have a DL360.

    The choice is between incompetent techs and Sirius Cybernetics-quality hardware.

    FWIW, Aero Glass runs just fine on 512MB of RAM, as long as you have a display adapter that can do it (128MB RAM, WDM compatible). At least on RC1 it does.

  7. Re:Why should businesses care anyways? on Companies 'Blah' About Vista · · Score: 1

    What is Vista's business argument in the first place?

    Microsoft FINALLY added phone-home product activation to their volume-licensed products. Now you dirty, dirty pirates that pay for Windows Vista pre-installed on your computer and then buy the upgrade to Windows Vista to install over Windows Vista can finally get what's coming to you.

    Imagine, expecting the software you paid for twice to "just work"® without double-checking with Microsoft to make sure you're not a filthy stinking pirate today. Sheesh!

  8. Re:Newsflash on US Bans Sales of iPods To North Korea · · Score: 1

    While we're at it, why not ban quantum based time machine portals?
    Just so long as DeLorean based time machines are still available.

    I can be bored to tears at home WITHOUT paying an exorbitant amount at the box office, thank you very much.

  15. Really on Rootkit Could Hide In PCI Cards · · Score: 5, Funny

    there is little immediate need for malware authors to turn to these techniques as a means of deeper compromise.

    Are you sure? I was at Best Buy, and I could swear that all the CDs for Sony-signed artists had a free NIC included.

  16. ObCottonHill on Bill Gates On the Past, Future, and Google · · Score: 1

    Why, is .POS taken?

  23. Re:Don't update. on Helpful Stuff For IE7? · · Score: 1

    IE7 still does not support XHTML. You have to send XHTML as text/html to IE, which puts it into quirks mode, IIRC.

  24. Re:I'm not seeing the story on Former CA Boss Gets 12 Years, $8M Fine · · Score: 1

    Was it a famous company?

    "Infamous" would probably be a better adjective.

    Microsoft was already calling the PC enthusiasts thieves and pirates...

    while stealing computer time, IIRC.
