  1. Huh? on AOL to Launch Discount "Netscape" Internet Service · · Score: 1

    I read "disconnected" instead of "discounted". Then again, that's something that AOL would probably be able to come up with...

  2. Re:Is it just me or... on Microsoft Orange SPV Phone Review · · Score: 1

    "If I'm going to buy a phone, make sure it makes phone calls!"

    Would this be with or without your knowledge?

  3. Re:What about support for mobile gadgets? on Chandler 0.1 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    From the FAQ:

    "Can I access Chandler through the Web or PDA?
    We are not committed to develop a Web interface or PDA conduit for the Canoga release. However, these are exactly the kind of features that we expect third-party developers to develop."

    They supply the framework, and the community can then easily add functionality. A modular approach is mostly always nice.

  4. It's things like this... on Toledo Uncappers Getting Shafted · · Score: 1

    ...that makes me never ever want to move to the US.

  5. Re:Linux Mandrake Review on Mandrake to Come Preloaded on Wal-Mart PCs · · Score: 1

    You must be joking? Where did you find this outrageous piece of utter non-enlightenment?

  6. Just remember... on Making Users Back Up Important Data? · · Score: 1

    that always when one sets up a backup scheme one has to make sure that the data is backed up correctly and can be restored without fuss, and that the backup tapes (or whatever you use) are safe from harm.
    At our company we change a random tape in the robot once a week, taking it home or into the office (we have all of our servers at a colo site).
    Also make a restore of random data from the tapes at least once a week. Restore a couple of database tables into a temp database and check them for consistency. There are too many sysadmins out there who blindly trust that what their backup software's telling them is the truth.

  7. Who needs that proprietary s**t anyway? on AOL Shuts Down 3rd Party IM Software? · · Score: 1

    I'm just going to say one thing: Jabber. Can be found on jabber.org. Opensource, clients are available for a wide variety of OS's, the server can be downloaded and installed quite easily, it has plugin serverside modules for communicating with existing ICQ, AIM, MSN Messenger and Jabber users. Hell, it can even be used as an IRC client!

  8. Re:Intel names new processor on PC Expo = Windows Heaven · · Score: 1

    Or not

  9. Re:How this is better. on Dell To Make MP3 Home Stereo Component · · Score: 1

    What...are you deaf? What equipment did play that back on? On my Kenwood Dolby Digital receiver with Wharfedale speakers it's a hell of a difference. 128kb mp3's have always sounded as a washermachine while 192kb sounds better, but still not good.
