    True, but isn't the reason why car companies are regulated has mainly to due with safetey issues? Thankfully, to my knowledge, NT is not currently responsible for flying airplane/keeping a heart beating.

  7. Re:Friendly NTFS partitioning? on Novell Announces SUSE Linux 9.1 · · Score: 1

    Mine as well (30 gigs with WinXP pro)

    1.) chkdsk and defrag like there is no tomorrow.
    2.) Backup important stuff
    3.) Get KNoppix, boot into it and use the "qtparted" partitioner. Resize the NTFS to a decent size. I went ahead and created the linux partitions at this point...I believe you can just leave the unused partitions for your Linux install to deal with.
    4.) Boot your linux install cd. Create your partitions on the "unused" partitions, if you didn't do so in Knoppix.

  8. Re:BSL-4 labs on Examining New York's Bioresearch Laboratory · · Score: 1

    I agree we need these facilities, but why do they need to be so close to major populations? That's kinda the point of the article.

  19. Re:Why Mono Will Fail on Mono Poises to Take Over the Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    At work, I use Java and perl nearly exclusively. In my previous position, I wrote in C# nearly exclusively. Why did I like C# better? If I needed a form, I would simply drag and drop components onto a blank slate, double-click on them and write their events. If I didn't like their layout, a simply move here and there and voila? If java were to make it bigtime, in my opinion, some sort of tool featuring this ease of coding GUI use would need to be implemented. I don't have time to muck around with "Gridlayouts" and the sorts. I use eclipse to do most of my work, but there are some SIMPLE features in it, that have yet to be implemented in two years (folding...it NEEDS folding).

  20. If They're giving it away on U.S. Army Warns Microsoft To Back Off · · Score: 4, Interesting

    how come it is so expensive in the stores? Can they afford to give it away? If so, can they afford to lower their price in stores? Hmmmm.

    go through phone hell

    I am also a Cox subscriber and I believe that their phone "service" should be labeled cruel and unusual punishment.

    Also, has any other Cox users noticed a decent amount of Port Scanning from Cox? Is this part of their scanning for Viruses/worms? After one weekend where I was scanned twice in a matter of hours, I sent my logs to their "abuse" address. I have yet to hear back from them. Coincidentally, I have yet to be scanned since then.

  25. Re:It's too bad we don't hear things like.... on TV Losing to Video Games · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm a little confused by your statistics? Statistics on people buying books are easy (Sales receipts) but where did you hear about the Reading statistics?

    Personally, I don't have time to read much (except on airplanes)...too much video game time is out there.
