  1. You are right, for you. on Groklaw Guts the Novell/Microsoft Deal · · Score: 1
    And possibly for all the other geeks out there.

    This is all oriented to the PHBs out there that have been told to "investigate this Linux thing" and are afraid to step out from under the Microsoft umbrella.

  2. This is just appalling! on Groklaw Guts the Novell/Microsoft Deal · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    I have never been so shocked in my life! The thought of companies like Microsoft and Novell stooping to such tactics over a competitor is just....

    Seriously, anyone that didn't see that one coming must have been asleep for a few years. SSDD for MS/Novell.

  3. Non-hacked too. on Hacked iPhones Confirmed As Bricking With Latest Update · · Score: 1, Informative

    I've read that it's also happening to non-hacked phones too.

  4. And another question. on 640gb PCIe Solid-State Drive Demonstrated · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What's the MTBF?

  5. Money is.. on The History of the Federal Reserve · · Score: 1

    ..only a concept.

  6. Larry Niven, anyone. on STriDER, a Three-Legged Walking Robot · · Score: 1

    It's a mechanical Pierson's Puppeteer, that's all.

  7. So this means... on Standards For Interconnecting Virtual Worlds · · Score: 3, Funny
    That horde could invade EVE?

    That would be something to see.

  8. He will blame... on SCO Blames Linux For Bankruptcy Filing · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...everyone but himself. What an ego.

  9. Ummm, maybe not. on Open Letter to ISO Calls For Standardization of Process · · Score: 1

    Wasn't Microsoft's current dominance of the market an organic process at the beginning? Do you really want that again? I would think that your suggestion would create another monoculture.

  10. To me, the really sad thing is... on After 10,000 Years, Farming No Longer Dominates · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...once you take land out of agricultural use, it is never used for agriculture again. By that I mean the growing of crops. Once a building is there, that's it.

  11. But now... on ISO Says No To Microsoft's OOXML Standard · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...Microsoft doesn't have the air of legitimacy that ISO approval would have brought.

  12. This is the United States. on Science Blogger Sued for Unfavorable Book Review · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Can calling someone a 'classic crackpot' in the face of such incorrect data have any chance at making it to court, or even winning the suit?"

    Of course it could, probably will, and will be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court.

  13. Re:About time someone did this on Class Action Initiated Against RIAA · · Score: 4, Informative

    Unless you were approached by the RIAA, the most you can do is cheer them on.

  14. More, please! on Class Action Initiated Against RIAA · · Score: 5, Funny

    sues for negligence, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, federal and state RICO, abuse of process, malicious prosecution, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, trespass, invasion of privacy, libel and slander, deceptive business practices, misuse of copyright law, and civil conspiracy.

    Can you add sheer stupidity and pigheadedness to that?

    Oh, and while you're at it, tell them that we plain old don't like them.

  15. If they are really smart. on Adobe May Launch Office Rival · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They will have a version for Window, Mac OS-X, and Linux.

  16. When all else fails... on Microsoft Questions FCC's 'White Spaces' Decision · · Score: 1

    ...manipulate the data.

  17. Re:I am to only one on Yahoo Edges out Google in Customer Satisfaction · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Probably.

    The rest of us are using Adblock.

  18. Symptoms of infection include: on Echeria Coli Co-Opted To Make Gasoline · · Score: 4, Funny

    1) High fever

    2) General listlessness.

    3) Urinating gasoline.

  19. More likely. on Server with Top-Secret Data Stolen · · Score: 1
    They simply forgot to activate the alarm system when they went home.

    Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.

  20. Amazing. on The Forbidden City of Terry Gou · · Score: 1

    The article reads like something that should be in a William Gibson book.

  21. Pretty shiny pixels. on OpenGL SuperBible · · Score: 1

    There you go.

  22. Not the Comic Book industry? on CA Game Bill Struck Down, Governor Vows Appeal · · Score: 1

    I'm sure that some people in the Comic Book industry could tell you about self enforcement of social standards. The thing is, it's just not that relevant these days.

  23. I thought that China was communist. on Lenovo Aims $199 PC At China's Rural Population · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why not just have the government give it to them for free?

  24. Re:Makes some sense, but .... on In Australia, An Ebay Sale is a Sale · · Score: 1
    You consider it a "steal of a deal" if it really goes through, and if not - you know it seemed "too good to be true" anyway.

    Thats why some sellers set up shill bidding. That way they won't get stuck with too low a price on the sale.

  25. Re:if you want insight into web page design... on The Design of Sites, Second Edition · · Score: 1

    I case you haven't figured it out, it's deliberate.
