  1. Re:Koffice on Ximian to Bundle StarOffice 6.0 · · Score: 2

    It has never worked for me. Tables don't format right and they jump all over the page. It also crashed a few times. Printing only printed about 3 words on the page max and got the margins and fonts wrong. And yes I had the printer configured right. I tried to just print to a postscript file and I got the same results.

  4. Re:I am not a lawyer on DMCA Attacks: NAI Tells Sites To Remove PGP (Updated) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It doesn't, except they included the letters DMCA in the title of their e-mail. This is probably just ordinary copyright law.

    If your user agent happens to include "wget", watch out! "Any IP/Host seen using wget or any other mirror tool will be banned!

  6. all security is through obscurity on MS Cites National Security to Justify Closed Source · · Score: 2

    All security is through obscurity--even encryption. Think about that.

    "Touch" makes empty files or changes their date. You're telling me that's easy to remember, while knowing that "rm", short for remove, removes file(s) is harder? "Chmod" changes a mode is harder to remember than "finger" giving you a user's name?

  7. A+ certs are not garbage on Which IT Certifications for Specific IT Jobs? · · Score: 2

    Many people who have been maintaining PC's for 10+ years might find the A+ exams quite difficult! And a good portion might even fail. The A+ tests are a very good test and they require specific knowledge of PC hardware, networking, printers, and software. Unlike other certifications (Cisco, MS, etc), the A+ is not specific to a certain brand of hardware. Have you even taken the A+ test? If not then you shouldn't dismiss it as garbage.

  8. Hey dumbasses on BMG to Purchase Napster · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Who would want that crappy visual-basic written software anyway? Oh wait...it wasn't written in visual basic??? How does it crash so much????

  9. XML is an uglier version of s-expressions! on StarOffice 6.0 · · Score: 3

    I point out that XML is basically an uglier re-invention of Scheme/Lisp S-expressions. (see this link) XML isn't the cure-all end-all either as some might think.

    So they threw a processor on a network card. It's actually a StrongARM. A processor you say! Why, you could run applications on your network card!!!! Amazing!

    If you were one of the three people with one of these, YOU COULD RUN LINUX ON YOUR NIC! But WHO CARES??? THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE A CPU!!!!!! Companies sell a computer on a PCI card! NIC's don't need to run an os, a firewall, or Duke Nukem.

  22. bug in classic theme on Mozilla.org Releases Mozilla 1.0 Release Candidate · · Score: 2

    There's still the (windows) bug in the classic theme, where when you minimize mozilla, it doesn't. Which sucks because I like classic.

  23. Fan on the chipset on Abit's New Motherboard Lays On The Ports · · Score: 2

    Wow, there's a fan on the KT333 chipset! I'd think with all the legacy stuff they removed, they wouldn't need a fan. The KT333 actually still has all the legacy functionality in it which might be why they need the fan.

  24. Re:Linux? on Abit's New Motherboard Lays On The Ports · · Score: 2

    FYI, Mandrake has had USB mouse & keyboard support in since 8.0 I believe, and it works better than Windows XP does. I used a USB keyboard in XP and half the time it doesn't find it, so you have to sit there unplugging and plugging the keyboard until it finds it.

  25. Re:Completely useless on Abit's New Motherboard Lays On The Ports · · Score: 2

    I agree with you. Often onboard sound chips cause problems with linux even though they can be turned off in the BIOS. It'd be nice to just have a motherboards with a bunch of pci ports and a bunch of usb ports.
