  1. Will it crash my system like other floppy drives? on Forget SuperDisks -- Try 32MB On A Floppy · · Score: 1
    I sure hope so. An iffy floppy can bring down an SGI Octane. I've seen it happen.

    I sure hope these new drives aren't reliable or anything. That would sure spoil everything.

  3. Sounds great- but I'm not carrying your luggage on Amazon Starts 'Tip Jar' System · · Score: 1
    But still, to even ask for tips, you're basically contending that your content is as good as your average lounge singer. I'm not sure we qualify.

    I'm a bigger fan of Zero Click Ordering technology for revenue enhancement. Your customers don't even need to order anything- the ultimate in convenience!

  5. Store Security on A Love Song For Napster · · Score: 1
    With this line of argument, a retail outlet can either simply let people shoplift willy-nilly or impose draconian security measures. According to Jaron (who has never been wrong about anything I am lead to understand) there can be no middle ground. Either record companies go out of business providing content for people who refuse to pay for it or they violate the rights of people who buy the content.

  7. you're looking at this the wrong way on New E-Mail Vulnerability - Trust Your Neighbor? · · Score: 1
    Imagine all the cool things you can know about your neighbors now - and how easy it is to spilunk their email.

    I've been thinking of joining the @home service just so I can crack into my neighbors' browser histories and caches. At the next homeowners association meeting, I won't say a word. I swear.

  8. First Documentary to Be Edited Open-Source on RevolutionOS: The Linux Movie? · · Score: 1
    When the film is released, you can buy a package with the source material and an EDL (edit decision list). You are expected to conform the program on your own.

    Binaries are for wussies- or so I've read.

    You will be able to make changes to the program and distribute it so long as you include the source material and EDL.

    If anyone has seen Dennis Hopper's The Last Movie, rumor has it that it was cut in a similar manner.

  9. Libraries and media licenses on Lawrence Lessig On Hollywood's Attack On Fair Use · · Score: 1
    The American Library Association should announce soon that they will be striking up a deal with Viacom/Time-Warner/AOL/Virgin/UniCorp to allow library patrons to borrow their copyrighted material.

    Going to the library and going to Blockbuster may soon become a similar experience- as patrons use a smart card to track their borrowing purchases which are instantly charged to their credit card.

    There was something in there about libraries leveling access to people of all economic strata- but no one can remember now.

    An RIAA spokesman said that the main issue was memory. Memory itself is a kind of copying, so it is in a sense a violation of "fair use" standards.

  11. How ironic... on OS X on x86? · · Score: 1
    ...that Apple may port OSX to the Pentium platform, but pre-G3 Powermac users have to buy a whole new system.

    I thought that buying a Mac meant that I was buying hardware superior to the Wintel crowd. Now it seams that any hack with a Pavilion can run the Apple OS that I cannot.

    I originally bought the Umax J700 because I read somewhere that Rhapsody would run on it. Oops.

    Well, people keep telling me that this will be a good year for Apple. Who knows?

  13. Is Mozilla XP? on Extreme Programming Installed · · Score: 1
    'Cause the build I played with extremely sucked.

    We like to make fun of marketing people because no matter how much jargon they learn, they don't know what we do. But for anyone who's read The Lord of the Flies, you know that putting people in leadership roles simply because they think they deserve them is a huge mistake. I've seen many media companies die a slow and agonizing death because the charismatic creatives who ran the place did not know their arse from a business-oriented hole in the ground.

  14. Sega = Drunk Uncle on Sega Announces Dreamcast Successor · · Score: 1
    "I'm sorry. I'll never do it again."

    How many times do you have to hear that before you disbelieve anything they say?

    The good news is that they plan to support this box for a whole six months before they stop marketing it.

  16. It's spelled '.net' but pronounced 'java' on Does .NET Sound Like Java? · · Score: 1

    .net is just a clever way for Microsoft to license Java without customers knowing that its not their technology. Very clever.

  18. But will it be compatible with all 15 DC games? on X Box To Be Dreamcast-Compatible - Updated · · Score: 1
    My understanding is that developers stopped making games only weeks after the box was released to the public. That may or may not be true- but it certainly smells of the Apple IIc of game consoles.

    A vampire is careful not to suck the blood of a dead person. Microsoft should be, too.

  23. Superbowl FX and the Ridiculopathy.com commercial on The Matrix Meets The NFL · · Score: 1
    The Ridiculopathy.com superbowl spot will air during the second quarter.

    We had to sign on for the air-time last year at this time, and since everyone else was doing it, we didn't want to be left behind. I've had "rais a million dollars" on my Palm's To-Do list for most of a year- and you know how that goes.

    Due to cash constraints, it will be only six seconds long.

    It took us months to concept and complete the spot. The cost to produce it was nearly as expensive as the price of the air-time.

  24. "It's easy to love a dead man" on Sega Kills Off The Dreamcast · · Score: 1
    The Dreamcast, although I've never actually played it, must be much better than the PS2 or X-Box (two consoles I have also never played).

    The Dreamcast, with its garrish hole in the controller (to be filled with more soon-to-be-obsolete Sega merchandise) was the real next generation of gaming.

    Their licensing structure (which I've never actually read or even looked up) was good for game developers, and therefor gamers.

    It is a sad day when the console which so obviously bests all others dies in the marketplace because people buy what they know. I guess I'll just circulate more Port-To-Mac game petitions...

  25. 480p is standard def video deinterlaced... on DirecTV Can Disable HDTV Reception Remotely · · Score: 1
    for sports or high-camera-movement applications, it looks like cheesy early 80's mtv.

    I heard someone the other say say that he was shooting his indie "film" on 480p. MPeg-I movies are also de-interlaced, but usually 320x240 and blown up.
