  1. Re:My only problem with XBox (1) on Memory Deal Bolsters Xbox 2 HD Removal Rumors · · Score: 2, Informative

    The 1.0 has a fan for its processor. The 1.1 a heatsink.

  2. Ack RTFA! on MS and Sendmail work together on Spam Solution · · Score: 1, Informative

    The article's comment is plain wrong. Nowhere does it say MS and SendMail are forming an alliance...

    "Email technology provider Sendmail is launching a sender authentication plug-in which is hoped will combat email fraud and spam."

    "Microsoft is one of several companies who are also working to combat spam with a "caller ID" system. Yahoo's DomainKeys is another one."

    Since when is 'also working' == 'forming an alliance' ??

  3. Re:This might be a dumb question. on AT&T Moves Toward Mail-Server Whitelist · · Score: 1


    The measure is for their business clients who run their own mail servers on the AT&T network. If you want your mail server to keep functioning, send them an email with your IP adres. This doesn't affect all other mail servers on the net, only the ones on their network. It's to stop the spammers which might be using the resources on the AT&T network.

    Nah, there's only one Neo, the chosen one...

    Ah, but perhaps this NEO is the One? *grin*

    by hplasm (576983) on Tuesday September 02, @12:31PM (#6849283)
    It's a NEO, but it seems unlikely to be the One.

    This is sad...

  8. Re:Why I won't purchase an X-BOX on Xbox Hacking Book Prepares to Fly Off Shelves · · Score: 1

    Technically isn't MS still losing money on each X-Box unit sold? So if you just bought the game system (and nothing else), you're actually doing more harm to MS than not buying it at all.

    Come again? If you don't buy the damn thing, they'd lose more money. $200 more, in fact.

  10. Re:Apples & Oranges. on Firebird Database Project Admin on Name Clash · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Check out the article. Try typing in "firebird 1.5 installer".

    Would you ever type that into Google if you were looking for the "Firebird" car ? No, you wouldn't.

    You would however type that in if you were looking for an installer to the new firebird database server version that the Interbase/Firebird folks have been working on for months and months now.

    A month ago, you would have gotten a direct link to the IBPhoenix page which has download links to that server. Now you get : "Phoenix and Minotaur to be renamed Firebird and Thunderbird". Great.

    This free, open source software project doesn't have the $$$ for sponsored links. After a couple of months, their site 'll be buried in Phoenix links in Google.

    Great show of respect from the 'fellow' open source crowd...

    Better watch it - Metallica's got a song called "Call of C'thulu". Phoenix Technologies' they can handle, but Lars's wrath..? :-o

  13. Remote control on New External Sound "Card" · · Score: 1

    The remote control definitely has some potential..

    I wonder if the buttons are programmable on the PC side to some extend (opposed as just to be able to turn up or down the volume on the device) -- being able to have basic WinAmp controlability (track skip, pauze, etc) from the comfort of my sofa would be perfect. :-)
