    What web server does Outlook Web Access use again?

  2. Re: Not taxpayer funded on Donald Trump Running Insecure Email Servers (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Someone's not very good at electoral math and is in for a rude awakening on 11/8.

  3. Don't let.. on AT&T, Comcast Kill Local Gigabit Expansion Plans In Tennessee · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That revolving door hit you in the ass on the way out, Rep. Hazlewood.

    What a sorry state of affairs when even those who claim to be from the party of small government and individual responsibility are still in big corporations' pockets.

  4. Re:Or on Apple Quietly Updates iPad 2's Processor · · Score: 1

    The iPad 3 has an A5 with a quad core gpu called the A5X.

  5. Re:Thank god for that on Bloglines Shutdown Avoided · · Score: 1

    I've always been more of a lurker, but if you'd like to get into a uid war -- let's rumble :)

  6. Re:Thank god for that on Bloglines Shutdown Avoided · · Score: 3, Informative

    Never mind the fact that bloglines is an rss aggregator much like google reader. How bout some rtfa'ing up in this piece?

  7. Dude... on Blockbuster Total Access Unannounced Policy Change · · Score: 5, Interesting

    My account isn't even active anymore and I got like 3 emails about this change. You really received no notice? I'm not disputing the policy change (which sucks), just the notice..

  8. Re:Race relations in the US. on Barack Obama Wins Democratic Nomination · · Score: 1

    "As an independent, I am going to have a real hard time this November - I'm a fiscal and Government conservative and a social liberal."

    And you think the Republican party still stands for fiscal conservatism after the past 8 years? :) Remember that budget surplus from 2001?

    Small government? TSA? DHS? PATRIOT Act? AT&T/The other bells?

  9. fark on Theaters Unhappy About Faster DVD Releases · · Score: 1

    If this were fark, the likely tag here would have been: obvious.

  10. Interesting on How Bad Will The 360 Shortage Be? · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's amusing this article came up today

    EB called me 3 weeks ago, told me I was in the first shipment. All good.

    Today, get a call stating that I am number 25 of the first shipment and they're only recieving 18 units. They won't guarantee me a 360 before christmas either. (To their credit they said it was very likely, but they hesitated to use the word guarantee.)

    Crappy. Good work MS. Bah Humbug.

  11. Re:Why else? on Your Right to Travel Anonymously: Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    See the above 200 or so comments and direct your dry humor elsewhere as not much really is sacred anymore.

  12. Re:MOD PARENT IGNORAMOUS on Lawyer Sues Yahoo for Message Board Name-Calling · · Score: 1

    I hope you explored the legal implications of your commment prior to posting. With that said, a fat brown envelope is on it's way! :)

  13. Re:Truth? on Fahrenheit 9/11 Discussion · · Score: 1

    Bowling for Columbine was stocked full of lies and staged scenes; most famously, where he goes into a bank and walks out with a gun, skipping the screening process, the having to put a $1000 deposit, the day or so wait, etc, instead he shows it as him walking in then walking out. Way to spin the hell out of that. Not to mention the other lies in that movie.

    Ok, because it isn't enough irony that in that part of the country, a gun can be obtained at a bank by purchasing a CD. Do you really think the audience would sit through a day or so wait of film, watching a bank transaction, and waiting for a background check all while watching a movie on the big screen.

    Reality check pal, movies are entertaining for certain reasons. Them being 24 hours long surely isn't one.

  14. alternate invasive uses on Should Colleges Monitor Students' PCs? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    next step:

    request a hard drive scan for copyright owner's works.

    I'm not sure where the happy medium is between total computer intrusion and none at all. It's hard to trust anyone else messing around with my computer with software i MUST install.

  15. Re:who else on SpaceShipOne Flight Not as Perfect as it Seemed · · Score: 1

    Keep in mind that they havent completed the goals for the X-Prize yet.

    They must fly again within 2 weeks with the weight of 2 people (only one person on this flight).

  16. I'll wait... on Star Wars Episode III : Birth Of The Empire · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There was always an official Lucas announcement as to the names of the prequels, and many many rumors/fake names... anyone think this is legit?

    The Movie 'Ocean's 11' called -- they want THEIR joke back :)

  18. Awesome on Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Rumors · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    First!

    Heh, I read this earlier on theforce.net, this is amazing and I hope it's true. I doubt Lucas would be the director though.

  19. Disappointed on Rumors of iPod mini, 100 Million Songs, Xserve G5 All True · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I wholeheartedly agree, I was getting ready to spend $100-$150 on a mini-iPod this week. I'm rather disappointed that there's only a 4gb version. Perhaps the 2gb mini-iPod is in the works?

  20. GPS In Phones on Your Cell Phone Is Tracking You · · Score: 1

    is there any kind of mobile java program that takes advantage of the gps chip in phones, to show your current coordinates? I've always been on the hunt for such a thing.
