  5. Re:Complaints Timescale on Apache 1.3.26 and 2.0.39 Released · · Score: 1

    so what are you complainging about?

    24hours granted there isnt a help line but you just type it in a search engin and you get help for nearly anything oss related.

    ms you get tiny bits of obscure help and months for a patch and help costs.

    you can only learn so much from books. much more is in practice and doing.

    and more recently motherboards comming with jumpers/connectors for such intrustion dection switches on the case.

  12. others? on Games in High School? · · Score: 1

    do other high schools do this??

    HAHA.... NO.

  13. naw. on Will Digital Cinema Wipe-Out Today's Movie Theaters? · · Score: 1

    I dont think so. To costly for inital setup. not to mention you lose something. Records (when properly cared for) sound far better than a CD.
    sure it may last longer but most stuff made these days is crap anyways. i think it would be better as a preservation system than viewing system.

  14. where on Subversive Gifts for New College Students? · · Score: 1

    Wheres my cool graduation gift?
    can i get a set of what ever she gets?

    maybe some floppys cd-rs.

  16. users vs admins on Passwords May Be Weakest Link · · Score: 1

    I admit i dont choose the best passwords. but have a few quite secure ones for special cases.

    but at work i didnt get to choose my password at all and it doesnt expire. it is the default password they use wen setting new users up. Id like to change it but there is no IT on hand over hear and isnt worth the trouble ticket to have them take care of it. manytimes admins assing week passwords and user doesnt or cant change them.

    not to mention when you force a user to use a "good" password they prolly wont get it or understand why. not to mention forget it after they choose it.

  17. Re:Very cool game on GTA3: Vice City Announced · · Score: 1

    GTA3 was going to be Multi player upuntil a few weeks ago when the striped it out cause they said it felt rushed.

    Too bad i was gonna be all over that and get it but they took my multiplayer mode away so i couldnt run my friends over... :(

  18. i dont see. on Can FAQs Be Copyrighted? · · Score: 1

    I dont see why not. It is a work generated by an indivdual or company.

    even if a survey or data gathering process is used to find the FAQs. Plenty of other companys have copyrights on there graphs and data which was gathered via survey or stats.

    Its just why to would one want to copyright FAQs?

  20. how? on Pittsburgh Launches Large, Free, Public WiFi Network · · Score: 2, Interesting

    what channels does one go threw to get this kind of thing done? I could setup a gorilla system and cover a few blocks of down town area Salem if i played my cards right but id love to get Salem to do it and have it be offical and be involved in the implemtation of it.

  21. 1030 on Easy Access PC Cases? · · Score: 2, Informative
