  1. Re:TAKS Test on RIAA Wants Student Deposed On School Day · · Score: 1

    Awww, cannot make ends meet playing music?

    Get a haircut and get a real job.

  2. Halliburton Contract? on The World's Longest Tunnel · · Score: 0, Troll

    Sounds like another no-bid Halliburton contract to me.

  3. Re:Aw, come on on MS Silverlight a Step Back For Linux Users · · Score: 5, Funny

    Shouldn't that be BOTH platforms: Vista and XP?

  4. Of course ;-) on Should Schools Block Sites Like Wikipedia? · · Score: 2, Funny

    The should block Wikipedia from both student and teachers.

    They should not cave in to pressure from teachers or parents, they should stick to their guns.

    Because the students need first get used to being screwed by then man. And second and more importantly, they need to learn to subvert the system while they're young; it will help them in the real world.

    Ideals with no basis in reality do us about as much good as the Former Congress Critter, Cynthia McKinney.

    No thank you, a vote for a minor party is a vote for a Republican.

    Not to mention that the minor parties are worse than the 2 major alternatives.

  7. Re:Please, give us better layout tools on Apple, Opera, and Mozilla Push For HTML5 · · Score: 1

    But if you design your grid for functional layout, you can have attributes allowing for things like column wrapping. In effect the idea would be to use it more like a layout manager in Java.

    I'm not saying that its the best solution, but its certainly an improvement over what we have.

  8. Will fail too on AMD's New DRM · · Score: 1

    This will fail too.

    All encryption schemes can be hacked, it only a matter of finding the weak component. Some component will be hacked; such as the software on the CPU, or the DRM and the system rendered useless. Its only a matter of time.

  9. Re:Please, give us better layout tools on Apple, Opera, and Mozilla Push For HTML5 · · Score: 1

    Why not create a tag called "grid" that acts like a table, but is designed for page layout? Most graphic designers use grids, and it would really help web design as a whole if something like that existed for us.

    Because this would make sense, and help web designers/developers actually do what they've been doing all along. Its just the people in the business of writing the spec, have something different envisioned.

  10. Re:NOT good news! on Neutrino Experiment Restores Standard Model Symmetry · · Score: 1

    But do they continue to pass every experiment at the same time?

  11. Re:here's the tell... on Top 10 Firefox Extensions to Avoid · · Score: 1

    If you block the ads then use the site anyway, you're just freeloading.

    Just don't put or allow annoying flash ads on your site. An annoying flash ad is an add that contain any of the following: sound, visuals that overlap content, pop-up/under, or new windows of any sort.

  12. Re:That pretty much nails it on the head. on Taxes, Second Life and Warcraft · · Score: 1

    Just because its not for sale doesn't make it not an asset.

    Since they're taxing on virtual inventory, what is the 'virtual' music inventory of the *AA? I don't think that the courts will want to set that precedent.

    Considering there are terms of service, check out this thought on the gold as an asset: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=230045&cid=186 66169

  14. Re:That pretty much nails it on the head. on Taxes, Second Life and Warcraft · · Score: 1

    If a court rules that you actually own the gold, and its a taxable asset, that section of th TOS may be no longer be valid.

  15. Re:That pretty much nails it on the head. on Taxes, Second Life and Warcraft · · Score: 1

    Since Blizzard owns all the gold in WoW, users's pay a monthly fee to have access to a portion of it and through their actions in the game can gain access to more or trade that access for access to items; shouldn't Blizzard be taxed on ALL the gold and items in WoW?

  16. Part is Technical on The Real Reasons Phones Are Kept Off Planes · · Score: 1

    Many reasons may be technical.

    But even after those reasons are resolved, I think airlines will keep them banned so they can maintain a monopoly on communications.

    When in question, follow the money.

  17. Re:Ah, a GPL vs BSD flamewar, FINALLY! on GPL Code Found In OpenBSD Wireless Driver · · Score: 1

    Just how much code is there in BSD anyway that is not there legally? Were there is smoke, there is fire.

    Why don't you download it, look for yourself, and submits your findings as a /. article?

  18. Re:Commodore had its share on The Top 21 Tech Flops · · Score: 1

    The A600 was, AFAIK, originally meant to be a cut-down budget Amiga known as the A300. It wasn't meant to be a replacement for the A500; I could go into why that was a bad idea. The A1200 was the "true" successor to the A500.

    The 600 should have been aborted; it was neither a significant cost drop nor technology improvement.

    For CBM to keep its edge, it needed to release the 1200 at least a year earlier, and should have been with the 3K.

  19. Re:Commodore had its share on The Top 21 Tech Flops · · Score: 1

    How about no MMU meaning no virtual memory. No FPU meaning that floating point math which means the 5 year old Mac II could run circles around it for math intensive tasks. 24 bit memory bus meaning a maximum of 16MiB of memory.

    Even more so, PCs were starting got get some descent video and sound cards at this time, nudging out the Amiga's sound and video advantage. 386s were affordable and running at 33 MHz.

    That's should have been Mac II

  21. Commodore had its share on The Top 21 Tech Flops · · Score: 0

    In 1992 Commodore, in its great wisdom released a repackaged A500 to compete with the 486 PC. This POS known as the Amiga 600 was the beginning of the end. They also released the failures known as the CDTV and the CD 32, but the A600, and a few month later the A1200 firmly established that CBM sucked. The 1992 A1200 had a downgraded version of the CPU Apple put in its 1987 Apple II.

  25. PC World Bias? on PC World's 50 Best Tech Products of All Time · · Score: 1

    As an innovative product the Amiga beat Win 95 for Gui where clicking the start button to shut down the system is a bad design. It was ahead of Voodo3 for GFX subsystem, and Sound Blaster for Audio sub-system. The Voodo3 may have been more advanced, but it was much later. Also it was the first platform to have a desktop video: the Toaster.

    When talking OS GUI, Win95 wasn't even close to OS/2.

    Also where are the KoalaPad? I mean the included the Compaq 386 an number 25?
