  1. Microsoft Word Formatting does it for me on Bad Web Sites Can Cause "Mouse Rage" · · Score: 1

    Actually Auto-Formatting a document in Microsoft Word is the thing that infuriates me the most.

  2. Use a non-US based version of Google. on U.S. Government Wants Google Search Records · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why not use a non-US based version of google.

    The US government would not have the right to collate responses from non-US based search engines.

    So why not use www.google.co.uk, or www.msn.co.uk as your search engine of choice.

    Then if the British Government decides to follow the American lead, then change again. Anyway I don't think the Goverenment will be able to report any searches from non-British connections and I think the amount of information they collect from the British ISPs will keep them occupied for quite a while, anyway.

  3. Have microsoft broken their own guidelines on Microsoft FrontPage License Prohibits Anti-Microsoft Speech · · Score: 1

    Guideline No 5 states: "The Logo must appear by itself, with a minimum spacing (30 pixels) between each side of the Logo and other graphic or textual elements on your page....."

    If you look at the logo at the bottom of the screen it is only 13 pixels away from the text at the bottom of the screen.

  4. Re:An observation... on Code Red Reporting That Doesn't Suck · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have a DSL line and windows 98 which is protected by ZoneAlarm.

    Over the last 2 days 90% of the attempted accesses to my machine are to the HTTP port, whereas a month a go I can't remember see these type of alerts.

    Something surely is brewing

  5. Re:So how does it compare... on Plex86 Boots Linux In Normal Mode · · Score: 1

    A viable alternative?

    But can it run my development Linux fail-over cluster.

    One for the future. Perhaps

  6. 'Open Source' Have to Mean 'Free', does it? on Does 'Open Source' Have To Mean 'Free'? · · Score: 1

    Take the case of the digital imaging group (http://www.digitalimaging.org/). They have released what they call open source for an IIP server/client (http://www.digitalimaging.org/i_iipserver.html or http://www.digitalimaging.org/i_iipclient.html)
    and the Flashpix file format (https://secure.gaiatec.com/digsales/fpxtools.html ). They want to charge $35 for link to this source code. They even link to the Open Source web site (http://www.opensource.org/osd.html).

    If they charged $35 for a sourc-code CD.I would call this a bit over the top, but would accept it.

    But $35 for just the link to download the source code? Surely, this is not right.
