  1. Data Center on UK To Track All Browsing, Email, and Phone Calls · · Score: 1

    I've love to see the data centers they're building for this!

  2. Re:Good Heavens! on RIAA Paid $16M+ In Legal Fees To Collect $391K · · Score: 1

    He's trying to say that the combined governments of the United States and Sweden are less competent than the admins are when they're sick or drunk.

  3. Re:The entire concept is mistaken on American Lung Association Pushes For Ban On Electronic Cigarettes · · Score: 1

    Actually, ecigarette makers are banned from advertising their products as smoking cessation devices. See here.

  4. Re:Good article on American Lung Association Pushes For Ban On Electronic Cigarettes · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually, you do blow "smoke" though it's just vapor. A fluid called "e-liquid", which contains the nicotine, is placed in the filter where it's heated by a lithium battery and an atomizer. I use one of these instead of cigarettes, and couldn't be happier with it. And while studies haven't been done to prove weather it's safer or not than cigarettes, I find myself breathing much better, and don't cough nearly as much. Also, since there is no actual smoke, there is no risk of second hand smoke or any tobacco smell.

  5. Re:Pre-beta? on Google Releases Chrome 2.0 Pre-Beta · · Score: 1

    Because, in theory, a x.0 release is bug free.

  6. Re:re Hard to decide ... on Microsoft To Offer Free Anti-Virus Software · · Score: 3, Informative

    They already DO sell antivirus software. Windows Live OneCare.

  7. Re:She'll be fine. on RIAA Agrees To Take $200-Per-File In Texas Case · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily. People who have never owned a computer have been sued by the RIAA.

  8. Re:Simple: on San Fran Hunts For Mystery Device On City Network · · Score: 1

    Microsoft Certified Solitaire Expert

  9. Re:For me, it's all about the graphics. on AMD Loses $1.2 Billion and Its CEO · · Score: 3, Informative

    CPU != GPU

    He was probably talking about the Intel GPU.

  10. Re:IANAMP on SCO's Lawsuit Gets Even Crazier · · Score: 1

    I doubt he's insane. The lawsuits are funny ludicrous. Not crazy ludicrous. He sued a bridge for christsakes! Some of the money is of the amount that no government in the world has, and one would have to be stupid to believe they could actually get it.

  11. Re:Let's spice up IT on New Grads Shun IT Jobs As "Boring" · · Score: 1
  12. RBL on How To Convince My Boss Not To Spam? · · Score: 1

    Just let your boss know what your company's e-mail servers may very well end up on an RBL which would get ANY mail dropped from your servers as spam.

  13. Re:Yep on 42 of the Best Commercial Linux Games · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the amount of time that will be spent loading the game AFTER it's done booting Linux from the DVD. There's a reason that games install to the hard drive on the PC, and on many consoles too.

  14. Re:Newsflash! on Dealing With an IT Bully · · Score: 1

    Which, according to the article is exactly what he did.

  15. Re:I know you hate the RIAA on RIAA Caught in Tough Legal Situation · · Score: 1
  16. Re:For Internal Consumption Only on China - We Don't Censor the Internet · · Score: 1

    Oddly enough, you get no less than 3 images when you search for "tankman" in google images: http://images.google.cn/images?svnum=10&hl=zh-CN&l r=&q=tankman&btnG=%E6%90%9C%E7%B4%A2 While they censor information, if you search hard enough, you'll find what your looking for.

  17. Re:Proof that Apple is turning fascist! on Mac OS X Kernel Source Now Closed · · Score: 1

    A man tried to steal products from an apple store, and was apprehended by security. I don't see how this is unexpected behavior.

  18. GIMP has aways served me well... on GIMP Not Enough for Linux Users? · · Score: 1

    For my job, I've never needed a graphic program other than the GIMP. IMO, it works just as well as photoshop.

  19. Congratulations! on Ultima V: Lazarus Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Congratulations to the entire Lazarus team for all their hard work.

  20. Re:There it is! on Google's New Personalized Homepage · · Score: 1

    Nope. I thought that was one of the coolest features of the personalized page.

  21. Re:i have this illness on Net Addiction Gets Finnish Soldiers Out Of Army · · Score: 1

    Basic Training, and AIT. That's generaly 3 months for basic, and the same for AIT(Advanced Individual Training, which is what you specialize in when your in the U.S. military).

  22. Re:Alright Mozilla on PC Magazine Reviews Firefox, Opera · · Score: 1

    I havent worked in PC repair since ~'98 but I used to work for an ISP doing tech support, and you're absolutely right.

  23. Re:I'm calling mine slash dot.dot on Firefox Extension Lets You Pick the Name · · Score: 5, Informative

    Actually, from what I understand, Firebird, Pheonix and Firefox are just code names. When the browser is released 1.0 it'll just be Mozilla Browser.

  24. Re:XPDE? on Another Xandros 2.0 Deluxe Review · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I tried it out myself on my slackware box. Aside from the bugs, not only didn't it support xinerama, but you couldn't move the mouse away from the XPDE desktop where another window manager was running on the second head.
