  1. Re:Since when can you trademark a title? on Blizzard Sues Over Diablo Movie Title · · Score: 1

    you probably can, you just can't call 'em Ewoks without permission.

    my word isn't gospel and shouldn't be taken as legal advice (IANAL).

  2. Re:movie name squatting? on Blizzard Sues Over Diablo Movie Title · · Score: 1

    you think you're the first one with that idea?

    i work closely with some major studios, and get to hear them gripe from time to time about how titles get leaked and domain names get reg'd before they have a chance to reg 'em. why do you think so many movie websites have a 'movie' at the end?

    look around, there are getting to be fewer and fewer that just have the title of the movie in the domain name.

  3. Re:Kiss your cooling fan goodbye! on Dawn Of The Diamond Age? · · Score: 1

    your conversion formula is wrong.

    tf=tc*1.8 + 32

    not that it really makes that much of a difference... 932 vs. 957.6.

  4. Re:Ram is usually needed elsewhere and is expensiv on Other Uses For The Linux RAM Disk? · · Score: 1

    if you have that many httpd requests that it's bogging down your disk subsystem, wtf are you doing running netscape or any web browser on that machine for that matter? i mean, i can see having to use IE occasionally if you're talking about an NT machine, but hard-core servers (such as the ones where the disk is being maxxed out by the httpd) really shouldn't be running something that eats up as much resources as a web browser (well, maybe lynx, but definitely not netscape)...

    just my 2 cents...

  5. Re:I guess I'm missing the point on Linux BIOS · · Score: 1

    what i've noticed is that it's not drivers or anything else that keeps the scsi cards in the machines i work on from coming up fast, it's waiting for the hard drives to spin up... that's why it's so much faster when you do a soft boot as opposed to a hard boot... just fyi ;)

  6. Re:How? on Systems Research Is Dead? · · Score: 1

    actually, you can change your shell in win9x (dunno about NT)... take a look at litestep...

    i'm not saying there's a _lot_ of choice, but it is actually possible.

    PS: don't flame me, i'm just playing devils advocate for a minute.
