  1. Re:How about those "tele-zapper" things? on Telcos Play Both Sides of Telemarketing War · · Score: 1

    I'm the guy who got linked in this sub-thread(torrez.net). In the past 2 weeks my telemarketing calls have gone from about 4 a day, to ZERO.

    This .wav file works for me. It's not going to hurt to try it. (well, people who legitimately call you will think you're nuts, but whatever)

  2. Re:Where do they get the anecdotal reports from? on AOL's Upgrade of Death · · Score: 1

    I don't know how this reporter got their information, but when I needed to get an idea of what types of problems people were having with their computers I'd call up repair people, and they would forward me to a client to interview.

    Since this is an AOL situation, that's the best bet-- I bet most AOLers make frequent trips to computer repair shops to have Windows re-installed.

  3. Re:I don't get it on iCraveTV sued for IP Theft · · Score: 1


    Because iCrave could start charging for use, could sneak a little commercial in when ABC wasn't looking, or even compete with other local network affiliates.

  4. Computer Equiped Toilet - Sick on Humpday Quickies · · Score: 2



    How long do you people sit on the toilet? I'd barely be able to boot up my computer before it would be time to flush.


    Please see a doctor or something because that can't be healthy.

  5. Mixed Emotions on The Upcoming LinuxOne IPO · · Score: 1



    On one hand I'm really angry about this, what happened to the "three years of profibility" clause that the SEC used to enforce? What kind of future are we looking at where every Tom, Dick, and Harry could package someone else's distro and say he's a Linux company about to go public?


    On the other hand I'm delighted at the prospect of a Linux IPO bombing. Someone guy in my office made $42,000 on VA Linux and $35,000 on Red Hat's IPO. The guy doesn't know a thing about Linux, only how to push buttons on E-Trade. If the company has the word Linux in it, he buys. I can't wait to hear him scream from his office as LINX falls like a stone.

  6. Re:The article's fatal flaw on Suck on Linux Evolution · · Score: 1

    He didn't specifically mean the 'paper-clip', nobody likes the paper clip.

    He meant that StarOffice doesn't have all the useless features, bells, and whistles that Jim down in Accounting likes in an office package.

    I wouldn't call this the 'fatal flaw' by any stretch.

  7. No Subject Given on Linux on CNN · · Score: 1


    Take some of your own advice, scrytch.

    free!=worthless, get a dictionary.


  8. Custom Slashdot on Saturday Night Special Quickies · · Score: 1

    I never thought it would pay to select text while I read. :)

    Some of the sidebar boxes are wider than others. Yeah, yeah, obsessive compulsive disorders aside, I've noticed my Linux Netscape makes form text-boxes bigger than my Windows Netscape.
