  1. What about... on IBM Bails Out of the Hard Drive Market · · Score: 1

    the matchbox sized hard drives? Is IBM going to continue research on those?

  2. So on Senate Bill Would Make Clandestine Video Taping Illegal · · Score: 1

    would they have to ask for permission before taping them or after taping them offter to film over the tape?

  3. I had an IBM hard drive once (40 gigs) on IBM Bails Out of the Hard Drive Market · · Score: 1

    But for some reason, it would sometimes stop working. I thought it was a power problem at first, and kept it in my linux computer for a while. I trusted it with all my mp3s (big mistake)

    Then, one time, after the computer crashed (again) i lost all my data :( (yes, i was using a journaling filesystem).

    So I went out to get a maxtor one which works fine. I figured the IBM one was basically no good, so i opened it up for fun, only and i found that somebody wrote on the drive with a black marker!

    I mean come on!

  4. Re:I really don't understand on Nomad Jukebox 3 Officially Out · · Score: 1

    you can put rubber on the edges; my archos jukebox has rubber on all the corners and it doesnt get damaged when it drops

    i doubt it would be true anyways tho

  5. Re:I really don't understand on Nomad Jukebox 3 Officially Out · · Score: 1

    No, my archos jukebox is a hard drive. it holds 20 gigs and is much smaller than this one (btw, hard drive cases are rectangular)

  6. AOL Time Warner is the parent company of CNN on Browser Wars II: CompuServe Strikes Back · · Score: 1

    That just says it all, doesnt it

  7. I really don't understand on Nomad Jukebox 3 Officially Out · · Score: 2, Insightful

    why people buy mp3 players shaped like cd players; the circular design is not nearly as convanient as a small rectangle. is there something I'm missing here?

  8. Re:In related news. on Browser Wars II: CompuServe Strikes Back · · Score: 1

    when people get over the fact that using lynx or telnet to browse does not make you 31337

    Yes, were. You said it in your mindless flame.

    Just look at any microsoft ad now. Chances are it is about 1 degree of seperation and .net

    As I don't really feel like typing more, I'll provide you with a mindless link

  11. Have we all forgotten on eWeek: Apache 2.0 Trumps IIS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    that IIS is not so much about raw speed and security as it is web services? That this is what microsoft is really pushing?

  12. Re:no IE icon... on Apple's Response to Microsoft: Unix Ads? · · Score: 1

    how good, fast, bug free is it?

    No.

  13. Re:The X icon. on Apple's Response to Microsoft: Unix Ads? · · Score: 1

    It appeals to power users; you dont think they would have an add mentioning /dev/null if it werent in a technical magazine, do you?

    Besides, if you look, on another page of the magazine is an article about game programming.

    And yes, you can run the x server on os x

  14. They have always done this on Apple's Response to Microsoft: Unix Ads? · · Score: 2

    Apple has always stressed the Unix core to power users. They just stress that it is stable to less technical magazines.

    This is nothing new

  15. The article fails to mention on NASA Reports Vast Hydrogen Reserves in Earth's Crust · · Score: 1

    How dangerous extracting energy from hydrogen is. We have to come up with a completely safe process of extracting the energy.

  16. In other news, on Google Releases an API for Their Database · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    FreeBSD 4.3 has been released! This time, it really has been released!

  17. Re:repeat on Google Releases an API for Their Database · · Score: -1, Redundant

    You'd think that they would not repeat big events like this...I guess it's worse than I thought.

    Also, Slashdot should create a google topic

  18. Re:We can stop this easily. on e-Denounce · · Score: 1

    So in other words, everone on slashdot is a poor, open source loving pirate with no job? Makes sense....

  19. Re:Pulled WTC Trailer on 11 Things About Spider-Man · · Score: 1

    I mean, it's not like Microsoft is going to hold up the release of the new Flight Simulator just to delete the Towers

    In older versions of Flight Simulator, the intro had to boys playing the game, and one crashed their plane into the Empire State building. The other one goes "you hit the Empire State building!"

    Microsoft even offered a patch to users of previous versions to take out the intro.

    I cant blame them...after 9/11 the media put out so much bull shit. One channel had an investigative report in which they took a look at Flight Simulator and called it a program for training terrorists

  20. Re:It's not unreasonable ? on 11 Things About Spider-Man · · Score: 2, Interesting

    so why should they?

    Because they filmed in Times Square. What if you owned a piece of property in which a movie is going to be filmed? You might want to put up some ads. Then if some film came around and changed them, you would probably be pretty ticked, along with whatever company set up the ad.

    I do, however think that it is mainly the fault of the owners; they didn't think to force Sony to leave t he ads in

    And? Just think about the numbers. It's pretty obvious.

  22. Re:Support? on Microsoft to Continue Mac Support · · Score: 1

    You apparently have used neither.

    What I meant was that you could easily find out anything about a Microsoft-provided SDK, not basic programming concepts.

    MSDN supports people who create programs which make use of Microsoft SDKs.

  23. Re:Support? on Microsoft to Continue Mac Support · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    What I meant was anything about any SDK, not basic programming concepts.

    You obviously have never used either.

  24. Re:yes, of course they will on Microsoft to Continue Mac Support · · Score: 1

    Microsoft makes as much money on Office for Mac as they do selling it for Windows.

    While I bet they do make a significant profit doing Office:Mac, your statement was wrong. Dead wrong

  25. Re:Products. on Microsoft to Continue Mac Support · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's a shame that the Mac developers who put out stuff like Office:Mac are working for such an ethically bankrupt company. They do really good work.

    Don't be naive....they make plenty of money, and that's why they stay there.
