  3. Workaround: for bug# ????? on ReplayTV May Drop "Commercial Advance" · · Score: 3, Informative

    I had bad luck with that function chopping out bits of show anyway.

    turn off commercial advance, after the advance and rewind a couple of seconds to desired point. Turn commercial advance back on.

    Commercial advance is by far one of the greatest features, it makes hour long shows into 40 minute shows saving me time and giving me more tv!

  4. Re:Flattery and Imitation on Microsoft Bites Apple, Apple Bites Back · · Score: 1

    I use to agree with this comment and use it often. IE blew away anyone else when it came to dhtml. Now the only thing that I really see IE outdoing is remote scripting, using active connections to the database, but if need to do that, wouldn't you just want a thick client instead? Safari rocks, and at a Beta version, blows IE 5.2 outta the water (Especially now with the addition of tabs).

    Execute a spammer. It's clean, it's quick, and it's efficient. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

    See if people will keep sending unsolicited email then. Matt Groening had it right with Futurama.

  8. Re:Oh brother... on Major Strike on Iraq Underway · · Score: 1

    He gassed 4000 Kurds with US knowledge. (And with US gas...)

    I assume we should blame every gun retailer for every murder commited by the sale of one of their guns?

    The U.S. has made mistakes in the past, arming Iraq to fight Iran comes to mind. However we are not the only country that has done this. What's left of the Iraqi Air Force is made of French made planes (Tornado's I think). We are not the only country to arm Iraq. However we are the only country to own up to our mistakes and fork over the cash to disarm Iraq.

    Finally if anyone wants to talk about all the crimes the US commited, sure you can, but think of how much good the US has done for the world and see which side of the scale outweighs the other. You may not like what the US is doing, (it's your right), however think about the Iraqies? Do you think they can hold protests against Saddam's actions. That's not why were there, but a good reason why we should be.

  9. Re:Developer's Track Record on LOTR: War of the Ring Real-Time Strategy Game · · Score: 1

    It looks like this is also being developed by Liquid entertainment who did work for Battle Realms. They are good group of guys that came up with a good concept for a game, that was overshadowed by WCIII because of many delays in their launch date. Hopefully this title will be a lot more successful.

    Off topic: if you tell what your main-class is in your Jar's manifest file, all you need to do is have them download the runtime. Launching the jar calling java -jar or javaw, shouldn't be neccessary.

  14. Re:So the PC's are faster on Mac vs. PC Digital Photography Comparison · · Score: 2

    I agree as a user that would be great. However...

    Mac OS X is not a product. It is a value-added add-on to another product, the Macintosh hardware. Apple is a hardware based company, if they weren't they would be selling keynote for the same price as Powerpoint, iLife for the same price as other competing products and so on.

    Apple products is definitely value-added with "Mac" OS X. If we see a "PC" OS X or an "Intel" OS X, then that would definitely hurt the Apple product line.

  15. Sounds like Microsoft is... on Microsoft's Reaction to OSS Adoption · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ... running a normal business. Microsoft is a business that is looking to make money. Goverments and Corporations moving to Linux and Star Office means less money for them. They are trying circumvent that. Can you blame them?

    This is an unusual Halloween memorandum in that it's not particularly redolent of evil.

    Was this newsworthy? Microsoft definitely does not have a monopoly on servers. Also they are beginning to lose their grasp of a monopoly on the desktop. They realize this, why doesn't everyone else.

  16. Ruling heralds: The return of the applet? on Microsoft Ordered to Carry Java · · Score: 2

    With this ruling will this bring to the desktop a more unified Java VM. Developers can build applets using the latest technologies provided by the latest JVM.

    Of course not. Applets suck.

  17. Re:Monopoly Abuse? on Microsoft takes on PDF · · Score: 2

    I think the one thing people will realize with XDocs, is that corporations aren't exactly knocking down walls to fit in the new office products. Finally managers are asking why do I need to authroize this purchase we already have office 97, 2000. Why do I need smart Tags or XDocs, when I have Adobe PDF writer and I don't know what I need smart tags for.

    Microsoft obviously will always be around but I don't think their software sales will truly be as dominate as they were the past decade. Most of the Windows OS upgrades I have seen lately, come in the form of a new PC.

  21. Re:Clueless on Microsoft's Vision Of Future Workplaces · · Score: 2

    Yeah yeah I didn't read the article, however current IP Phones have technology that connects your Voice mail up to your GroupWare client. Cisco demoed it at our company. So browsing your voice mail is just a matter of looking over email. Instead of a text message, the system will give you an attachment (.wav file) that you can play in a media player of some sort.

    Along with the voice message I believe it comes with a summary like who's it from and so on. The additional information is kind of like a caller ID for messages that you can choose when you want to list them, and as a bonus you could even store them easily for later, great way for blackmail...

    I saw a promotion at Rite Aid for 99 cent Pepsi two liter bottles, but it limits you to 5 bottles.
