  1. Google for Usenet? on GUBA makes Usenet search easy as Google · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Isn't google like google for usenet?

  2. Re:Private sponsorship of public projects on Google Hiring Programmers to Work on OpenOffice · · Score: 1

    as it would require me to spend $200+ to get the same capability in MS word

    How do you figure?

  3. whats the point of trying to control it on Rental Home Wireless Networks? · · Score: 1

    what's the point of trying to control it? just leave it open.

  4. Re:Simple economics on Why Won't Macromedia Release 64-bit Flash? · · Score: 1

    ought Macromedia ignore them as well?

    Yes, I think they should.

  5. I know this is hard to understand.. on Why Won't Macromedia Release 64-bit Flash? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I know this is hard for some of you to understand, but everything from PetitionOnline falls on deaf ears. No one cares about internet petitions, it takes almost no effort to fill out an internet petition. If you want someone to take you seriously, send a fax and follow up with a certified snailmail.

  6. Re:What about VGCats? on Jack Thompson Calls Cops on Penny-Arcade · · Score: 1

    Penny Arcade, who are not really a company lack Jack insists they are

    No, they really are a company, despite you claiming they aren't. That is why their checks say Penny Arcade Inc. The Inc. means incorporated, IE they are a company.

  7. Re:T-Shit is fine, just like Bush or Kerry T-Shirt on Jack Thompson Calls Cops on Penny-Arcade · · Score: 1

    actually i'm pretty sure could get away with putting anyone's name on a tshirt whether public or private.

  8. Re:Slashdot software broken, bans entire subnets on Designer on Slashdot Overhaul Plans · · Score: 1

    If you paid with your credit card, you could always call them and complain that /. isn't providing you with the service you paid for.

  9. onion redesign it horrible. on Designer on Slashdot Overhaul Plans · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or does everyone think that the redesign of the Onion is horrible. The stuff you like to read is made really small and the stuff you don't care about is really big. There is way too much stuff on the screen and a lot of the good stuff is below the fold.

    It's not just that people are used to the old and are mad that it changed, it's that the new design really really sucks.

  10. Re:Who is Jack Thompson? on Jack Thompson Rescinds Offer · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    They have google and wikipedia on your side of the atlantic don't they?

  11. Re:Debate insults indicate a loss. on Jack Thompson Rescinds Offer · · Score: 1

    Man just drop it, your argument with the kde developer has nothing to do with this topic or the last several topics you've tried to bring it up in. Repeatedly bringing it up isn't going to convert more people to your cause, no one really cares.

  12. Re:Good for them. on Lloyds TSB Pushing New Online Security Protocol · · Score: 2, Informative

    Having worked somewhere that uses securid, I can tell it doesn't work that slickly. Granted it's not that horrible to have to call the helpdesk and have them resync the token using ace server, but it is annoying.

  13. Re:Snort and Nessus on Matt Asay on the Status of OSS · · Score: 1

    Although it's up to Renaud how he licenses his software

    That's my point, if the community had actually contributed in a meaningful way, it wouldn't be Renaud's software, it would be community's software. I don't understand how you can take it as a personal attack that he personally changed the license for software that he personally wrote. If anything, the community spit in his face by not contributing to his project, atleast by your logic anyway.

  14. Re:Snort and Nessus on Matt Asay on the Status of OSS · · Score: 1

    We (the community) contribute to a project every time we execute their code.

    That's laughable. Do you feel that Microsoft has been spitting in your face too?

  15. Re:Snort and Nessus on Matt Asay on the Status of OSS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    spitting in the face of all those who helped the project thinking it was free software

    What kind of help did these people provide? Presumably if it were code, they would have something to say about Nessus going closed source.

  16. Re:Hardly Realistic on Studying the Plague in WoW · · Score: 1

    No one planned on it even comming into the cities from the instance.

    Yes but anyone that is developing game content for blizzard, but didn't anticipate this is an idiot. It's not like it's hard to stone from instance back into a heavily populated city.

  17. Re:Reply from Original Poster re: off the shelf on Security for a Small Stock Photo Company · · Score: 1

    Now just go to rentacoder and pay some Indian firm about $50 to implement it for you.

  18. Re:If they don't want people selling... on World of Warcraft Interview "Responses" · · Score: 1

    Blizzard has pretty much made it impossible to sell the game on ebay as you can't remove enough of the personal info from the account to transfer it to someone else.

    The main complaint people have with ebay is people buying and selling gold and items. This ruins the in-game economy and is against the t.o.s for playing the game.

  19. Re:Warsong Gulch for the casual player on World of Warcraft Interview "Responses" · · Score: 1

    Yeh on Garona, basically no one can get into WSG. People have taken to raiding towns to keep their pvp points up.

  20. Re:Changes overdue. on A Gimp In Photoshop's Clothing · · Score: 1

    Corel is hardly a bigger wallet, paintshop pro is probably one of the only profitable pieces of software they sell now.

  21. Re:No Reboot Required on IIS 7.0 Learns a Few Tricks from Apache · · Score: 1

    You can uninstall/reinstall iis in 2000 without rebooting.

  22. who needs to learn from who? on IIS 7.0 Learns a Few Tricks from Apache · · Score: 1

    Sounds like IIS has some features that Apache could copy, I don't think apache can change modules without restarting.

  23. Re:MythTV Doesn't Do HDTV on TiVo OS Update Adds Content Protection · · Score: 1

    That's hardly affordable since you have to buy a $3000 mac to make it work. You can not be a anti-mac bigot and still not have a mac.

  24. Re:MythTV on TiVo OS Update Adds Content Protection · · Score: 1

    I can't be that hard to compile apps for the tivo hardware though. If you were fine with using their kernel, you could conceivably make your own tivo style program to run on the box.

  25. Re:I don't think you get it... on TiVo OS Update Adds Content Protection · · Score: 1


    TiVo is just enforcing the law...


    Which law would that be? Legal precedence allows how recording of tv shows.
