  1. Re:the replies to this post on Microsoft Antitrust Judgement · · Score: 0, Informative

    Don't forget about the people posting links to a relevant article?

    Note to the naive: don't click. Ever. I warned you.

    Search for yourself on ICQ's people search. Odds are you'll find your number.

    Yes, the poster said Trillian can connect to IRC, he just preferred to use mIRC.

    Berman's not a Senator, he's a Representative
    Well, the submitter made that error.
  5. Re: on Gartner Survey: Consumers Don't Want Crippled CDs · · Score: 5, Insightful
    According to GartnerG2, 77% of consumers believe they should be allowed to copy CD's for personal use in another device. 82% believe they should be allowed to make personal backup copies of CD's. Let's hope Senators Hollings and Berman are paying attention.
    Since when did Senators Hollings and Berman give a shit about the concerns of the general public?
  6. Re:No - it's enforcing obsolence on Financial Institutions Balk at MS Licensing · · Score: 2

    I agree with the other guy--that is a damn interesting point. But I currently dual boot Windows XP Pro & Red Hat 7.3, and if I am forced to upgrade XP I'll switch to only booting Red Hat and using wine.

    So you think they're just giving themselves these rights for shits and giggles?

  8. Re:So in conclusion... on Broadcasters vs Producers on Content Integrity · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well, that includes just about all TV producers in the US. But generally, sitcoms (if not dramas as well) switch between scenes frequently, and nearly all of those switches are good spots for commercial breaks.

  9. Re:What will really happen on Gateway To Use Corel Over MS For Office Suite · · Score: 2

    That's MS WOrks Suite, not MS Works.

    It's been there awhile--you just had to look through google for a minute instead of clicking on that tab.

    I rented it twice then realized it'd be better to just buy it.

    Yes, their hardware is generally pretty good, but I try to buy Logitech input devices on principle.

    And you'll be wishing you were using AOL again once you encounter your University's newly enacted policies regarding piracy and bandwidth throttling.
    I doubt it--I'm not much for pirating music, and now that I have an FM tuner for my computer, I won't bother.
    What school (and where) do you go to that starts classes next week?
    The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH. Apparently the Oregon Institute of Technology starts a couple of days later, but I don't know of any others.
  16. Re:i think it's a big scam anyways on Chip Makers Selling Fewer High-End CPUs · · Score: 2

    Yes, RAM does make a bigger difference in performance than CPU speed. My parents' P4 2GHz 128MB RAM is much slower than my P4 1.8GHz 512MB RAM.

  17. Sure? on Chip Makers Selling Fewer High-End CPUs · · Score: 2

    AOL is extremely resource-intensive. When connecting, I can't even get the Ctrl+ALt+Del window to open (don't flame me: I'll use AOL until Saturday when I go to college).

    If I pay for university housing, a fee for the use of the university network is included. Therefore, I do pay for internet access.

    Ahh, but Christopher Reeve is starting to regain feeling. Don't bother submitting it--I tried twice.

  21. Re:California. on WA Wins First Case Against Deceptive Spammer · · Score: 2

    That does make sense, though, now that I think about it, isn't there an oil field just outside of Springfield? That would certainly limit the areas in which Springfield could be located.

  22. Re:Sure, I'll send you the money. on WA Wins First Case Against Deceptive Spammer · · Score: 2

    Well, Springfield is a 2000 mile drive from Arlen, Texas [5F03], and it is one of the 11 states in which George H W Bush claims residence [3F09]. I am not aware of any other clues that determine their whereabouts.

  23. Re:Trillian Pro v1.0 on Gaim For Windows · · Score: 2
    25 bucks is a lot of money for an IM client, even if it can resequence my DNA while I'm idle.
    I agree. I'm glad I donated $5 a couple months ago. Also, they're only accepting money for Trillian through paypal now, so if I hadn't donated earlier I'd have to wait for them to accept checks or credit, as I refuse to get a paypal account.

    And generally in Windows the plus sign means the list is hidden--click on it to expand, and a minus sign means the list is shown, and clicking it will hide the list. It's similar to the restory/maximize button next to the X in Windows programs.
  24. Re:noooo, use Trillian :) on Gaim For Windows · · Score: 2

    Trillian, unfortunately, isn't open source. Nevertheless, it's still the best IM client I've ever used.

    Before now, if you didn't like Jabber for AIM, the only alternative was to use AOL's closed-source client.
    There's always Trillian.
