  1. Re:Thanks ! on Good, Affordable PC Diagnostic Software? · · Score: 1

    HP notebooks also have built in diagonstic software. Iirc it's F10 at the boot screen (or maybe F6 - its been a while)

  2. Clearly Labeled on Windows ATMs by 2005 · · Score: 1

    All I have to say is these things had better be clearly labeled.

  3. Re:Huh? on New Longhorn Screenshots Leaked · · Score: 1

    Just to nitpick, comparing the security of an out of the box install of RedHat to FreeBSD and ESPECIALLY Open BSD is fucking retarded. that is all.

  4. Re:Book piracy... on Harry Potter and the Entertainment Industry · · Score: 1

    I personally read ebooks on my Clie, rather than on the screen of my pc... the screen quality is far higher, and there's no eye strain, along with the added bonus of being far smaller than most books, so its easier to carry around with you.

  8. registration on What Turns You Off About Evaluation Software? · · Score: 1

    I will simply not register to try something out. Its a whole lot easier to say 'screw this' and search through courcefoge to find something that will do the same job, no questions asked.

  9. Re:MIE = Unschooling on Web-Surfing Indian Slum Kids Ask: "What's a Computer" · · Score: 1

    I think you just described 90% of the /. community.

  10. Some of the source. on Lindows - Where's the Source? · · Score: 1

    Looking over Linows' site, I found this link to some source. I'm quite sure it's not all of it, but there is some.

  11. Used Book Stores on Authors Guild To Members: De-link Amazon.com · · Score: 1

    Hell, I make a trip to the used book store every couple weeks, there's no way I could afford to read as much as I do without it! Sure I could go to the library, but the library doesn't usually have what I want, and I have to give it back.

    With the store, If I don't like the book, I can always sell it back to them when I'm done with it.

  12. Re:To some extent, microsoft has not been that bad on Red Hat CTO Testifies at MS trial · · Score: 1

    93%? this is no doubt a statistic carefully researched with the ever popular "Pull a random number out of your ass" statistical method. Please, if you're going to use a statistic, at leasst pretend to back it up.

    apm works great, just add the device to the kernel
    (device apm0) iirc, and enable it in rc.conf (apm_enable="YES") and away you go.

    as for acpi, I have no clue on the support.

  19. Wayback Machine on External 5.25" Floppy Drives? · · Score: 1

    Just set your wayback machine to, oh, say 6 years ago, and you'll be able to get one.

  21. I fix it if I have the tools. on Techie, Wrench-head, or Both? · · Score: 1

    I can usually fix a car, provided I have the right tools for the job. I've never been afraid to get my hands dirty, and have done quite a bit of work on cars, not just my own, over the years.

    It may be a little different from playing with computers, but a car isn't going to BSoD on you either.

  25. Re:It doesn't use draggable windows. Wrong game, b on Uplink · · Score: 1

    Uh, no. There are small windows, 'panes' really inside the game that you can drag around, and it took WAY to long for them to actually move...
