  1. Re:My order... on 7-Year Old Prequel Fan On ANH · · Score: 1

    But you forget: Episode 5 ended in Han Solo encased in carbonite, and Luke and crew embarking on the mission to rescue him. If you were watching the movies for the first time, wouldn't you be more interested in Harrison Ford being ok, than watching a hour of boring desert shots before you even get to a pod race? And then you still don't know?

  2. Re:Quicktime install on Goblet of Fire Teaser Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    You could always try the K-lite Mega Codec pack, which installs Quicktime Alternative, along with Real Alternative, and a host of useful codecs for viewing all the stuff you grap off of bittorrent.

  3. Re:Yeah, right. on How Can I Trust Firefox? · · Score: 1

    How in the nine hells are they supposed to know what "Firefox" is

    Excelent Point.
    That's why I rename the "Mozilla Firefox" shortcut to "Internet" on their desktops, after I clean the spyware off. I then remove the "Blue E" from their desktop, and explain that I've installed something called "Firefox, the new version of Netscape", and they need to click on the orange-and-blue icon from now on. I still end of telling them this over and over in some cases, as I clean off more spyware, but at least this is a solution that will save them a bill from me if they follow it.

  4. Re:Please.... on Two Years Before the Prompt: A Linux Odyssey · · Score: 1

    When the only command you know is 'dir', and that doesn't work, knowing 'man' won't do you any good. You need to know the question before you can ask it.

  5. Re:Excuse the ignorance... on SCO Drops Linux, Says Current Vendors May Be Liable · · Score: 1

    Couldn't IBM just trot out a receipt for Caldera Linux, and claim they had a license (GPL) to do whatever they wanted with it?

  6. a perfect business opportunity on Indian Government Moves to Let Linux In · · Score: 1

    The entire world is hungry for Linux tech support, and the Indian government has the capability to become the largest single source of Linux guru's. For a moderate yearly fee, they could become quite effective as the world's largest Linux Support Center, and quite rich as well...

  7. The New Abit AT7 Legacy-free mobo, but... on Death to the 3.5" Floppy? · · Score: 1

    Since the drivers for Micorsoft's shiny, new OS don't include IDE drivers for the Abit AT7 Motherboard on the CD, you need to install them from a floppy disk before installation.

  8. increasing music sales is NOT the aim of the RIAA on Sharing Increases Music Purchases? · · Score: 1

    They generate revenue by signing new groups to terribly one-sided contracts. If other opportunities for new talent to become widely recognized apepared, people whould no longer depend on the music industry to get their music heard by a wide audience. They would only be needed for distribution. The Lables fear the drought of new talent turning to the Internet will dry up their revenue stream.

  9. who's doing the watching? on Really Targeted Advertising · · Score: 1

    So, while you're away camping for a week, your 16-year old brings his friends over and they watch the playboy channel. When you come back, how do you get rid of all the 'directed' pornography adds on your TV? "Fear not the path of truth for the lack of people walking it."
