  1. Re:Harming Customers on Linux "is not piracy" Says Microsoft Lawyer · · Score: 2

    Then delete your MP3s

  2. Harming Customers on Linux "is not piracy" Says Microsoft Lawyer · · Score: 2

    "software piracy in general, and how this is holding back the software industry in Eastern Europe"

    You can't expect somebody making 50-300$/month to pay for software that is priced to harm customers.

    I wonder how a converted to Unix user would look wearing a Microsoft T-Shirt.

  3. Don't worry on CIA Warns China Might Be Planning Cyber Attack · · Score: 2

    The only thing that could possibly happen is for everybody to see again how non future minded Microsofts OS Security is.

  4. Know what you ask for on Recommendations for Third Party Security Audits? · · Score: 2

    The better approach is to research yourself and ask for specific tasks to be completed.

    Your IT staff might not have experience but it is unfair to assume they can't do something once you ask them to do it.

    Never forget that nobody can read your mind ;)

  5. Seamus Blackley, XBOX and the future of it on Salon Goes Inside the X-Box · · Score: 2

    The capacity used on the XBOX even by Halo is at a very low percentage.
    That is waste of resources and no company has been able to write code that would use it at its full potential.

    Seamus might be leaving his job but he is not out of the industry. His next objective is to develop games. New games are what is needed for all that waste capacity you have in your living room. The best thing he could have done for the XBOX was growing it from a different perspective. He is the person who knows its architecture the best.

    I can't wait to play one of his games on his console.

  6. Taxing dreams on Taxing Sci-Fi Products to Fund NASA? · · Score: 2

    If you dream that you are levatating your income tax should increase to fund levatation research.

    If you dream of hot women your income tax should increase to fund the porn industry.

    If you dream of slashdoting somebody your income tax should increase to pay for their bandwidth.

  7. New english on Gates: Say No to GPL, Yes to the Microsoft Ecosystem · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Microsoft sets new standard in MS English XP

    "ecosystem - n : a system formed by the interaction of one organism with its physical environment"

  8. Agents on Instant Messenger or Instant Advertiser? · · Score: 1

    We are proud that among the things our customers have built are an agent to engage teens in conversations about smoking and how bad it is.

    Reminds me at the scene in Matrix where the agents tell Morpheus how people stink.

    How is that going to keep anybody away from smoking? And why the fuck is it their problem if anybody smokes?

    This shows how chemicals are being used for the advantage of people that are trying to gain publicity, acceptance and profits.

    Want to try something new? Try reasoning.

  9. Stop use of Oil? on NASA Reports Vast Hydrogen Reserves in Earth's Crust · · Score: 1

    How things are going it is most likely for our gene to mutate to breathing CO2, Nitrogen Oxides, and Hydro Carbons.

  10. cfm extension on a page about Java and C# on Trouble Ahead for Java · · Score: 1


    Big battle between Java and C#:

    And the winner is Coldfusion!?!?!

  11. Nightmare on Declawing Windows: Impossible? · · Score: 1

    "Removing them would result in a slower, much-less user friendly Windows that would be a support nightmare"

    You can only have a nightmare when you sleep. ;)

  12. Usefull if it's use will be reversed on GPS Wristwatch for Kids · · Score: 1

    It reminds me of somebody I saw with her son in a leash at an Event in Tempe, Arizona. That should be illegal!

    This technology should be used on convicted child molesters and not on children.

  13. Re:Sure, mod me down on LoTR Takes 4 Oscars · · Score: 1

    and many of them aren't even nominated.

    Like best animated feature movie. They are so ignorant and stupid they didn't even nominated the best one "Final Fantasy"

    Lame. Oscars are old skool crap. Wake up it's a new world. Let people decide not no slow thinking old movie critics.

  14. Hard copies on Time Warner Finds AOL Email Inadequate · · Score: 1

    Time Magazine had to go so far as to have hard copies rushed before deadlines by cab

    That's because Time magazine failed to realize there's more to the internet then e-mail and web.
    FTP and other types of file transfers are big monsters that are eating people. Don't use them.

    You shouldn't use e-mail to send huge files anyway.

  15. Astronomical Blind Spot on Stealth Asteroid Misses Earth · · Score: 1

    Great terminology.

    Maybe they meant the "Oh shit we weren't looking spot"

    I remember a documentary on Discovery where they were talking about how most asteroids are discovered by amateurs.

    Scarry stuff

  16. Instalation is crap on Lycoris Desktop/LX Review · · Score: 1

    If you have the time and patience to install this thing go ahead. It might be worth it.

    It doesn't partition the drives from the install and runs into annoying errors.

    I'm giving up on it. It's time for Mandrake 8.2!

  17. AT&T won't like that on Microsoft XP License Prohibits VNC · · Score: 1

    Microsoft might have just pissed off one company stronger then them.

    VNC has been created in AT&T labs.

    Well, at least this will be one more company that could testify at the monopoly lawsuit against MS.

  18. Redundant support on Air Force Warns Microsoft/Others to Tighten Security · · Score: 1

    Having only one software supplier or only one network equipment supplier is not only bad for the Air Force but for any other organization.

    Losing support, update capabilities, ... on a closed source product because of a company failure could be very bad.

  19. Re:Hey that explains it on Universe Beige, not Turquoise · · Score: 1

    I pushed my computer away and it redshifted.

  20. Finally on Sun Files Suit Against Microsoft for Anti-Trust Violations · · Score: 1

    Now the prosecution in the Microsoft anti-trust lawsuit has a tech partner.

    Maybe the States will finally be able to build a strong case.

  21. Fixed ATI DVD acceleration and 3D problems on ACPI Forced On & Option Disabled in WinXP-Certified Motherboards · · Score: 1

    After disabling ACPI and running as Standard PC I finally got some really annoying bugs fixed that cause me many sleepless nights.

    1 - DVD accelaration from my ATI Radeon works without problems now
    2 - 3D Framerate/sec increased consdierably so everything seems smooth like in my Win2K days

    Having thoese problems fixed makes me like XP a lot.

  22. Without the keyboard would be more fun on PS2 Linux Kit Shipping in May · · Score: 2, Funny

    Kill proccesses with the X button on the PS2 controller.

    Combine X with L2 and you will have a kill -9

  23. Re:Good good on PS2 Linux Kit Shipping in May · · Score: 2, Interesting

    IBM is been embracing Linux for a while now.

    It's good to hear that linux is being embraced by a more consumer level oriented company.

  24. Usefullness on Every Species on Earth · · Score: 1

    The only way this could be usefull is if they would record genetic information from all species so that they can detect trends in gene mutation.

    Other then that it seems like a waste of good resources.

  25. Affordable on College Students Are Buying More, Warez-ing Less · · Score: 1

    This just shows that more students can afford software.
