    First off: "Pfffht!!!"

    I built meself an HTPC in an the Antec Overture case. Besides having 500GB of network storage, I've got an Satellite tuner card, HDTV Wonder soon, and ATI 9800 AIW card driving my 34" widescreen Sony WEGA at 1920x1080. Let's see a TiVO thinga-maboober do that sometime soon...

  7. Dell & Linux Try #2? on Dell to Ship Linux Desktops in Europe · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A few years ago, didn't Dell ship desktops, laptops and servers and sich with Red Hat Linux on them, nyet?

  8. ATI HDTV PCI Card on HDTV Comes to the Mac · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Eh?

    Why doesn't ATI simply write some Mac OS X drivers for the HDTV Wonder...? After all, they know how to write video drivers - how hard could it be?

  9. Re:If it's broke...well....we'll fix it later on Dept. of Homeland Security Says to Stop Using IE · · Score: 5, Informative

    Repeat after me: Global Class Action Lawsuit against Microsoft. Bunch of bumbling fubars. And that ain't the only whole they haven't plugged in months...

  10. Re:Toys for the rich on ViewSonic VP2290b Super High-Res Monitor · · Score: 1

    One place I worked the CEO had a 21" TFT (when they where still rather new) running at 800x600 because he was nearly blind. Still wonder how he drove that BMW around without killing himself or someone else...

  20. Re:Phone spam on No Call List Bypassed Using Call Centers in India? · · Score: 1

    I get phone spam on my Canadian cell phone from a company in the US trying to sell me US-based services/products. Idijts!

  21. Re:Huge boost for me on Thoughts on Automating Driver Installs for Linux? · · Score: 1

    The one thing that royally, totally, throughly and completely ticks me off about Linux is the driver situation. I just got in a nice 1U server using the Intel S875WP1 server motherboard. It has an Adaptec SATA RAID chip on-board. Intel provides a Red Hat 9.0 driver. Download and install the latest RH 9.0 kernel from RH and guess what? The kernel DOES NOT work with the driver. Nor does Fedora work this this driver. Microsoft Windows at least has drivers that work with every service pack of Win2K and/or WinXP. I could kick Linus from here to Mars and back for the half-ass, half-crock, half-baked cluster fubar that is Linux drivers.

  22. Re:Suggestions... on The Meaning Behind Intel Code Names? · · Score: 1

    FWIW, "Banias" is close enough to the Spanish word for baths...

    At least they didn't name their next generation product after a big stinky animal that produces copious quantities of cow pies and methane - "Longhorn"...

    The total amount of intelligence in the world is a constant.

    The problem is there are more and more people...

  24. Re:In Corporatist America on How Prevalent are Bogus Degrees? · · Score: 1

    Hmmm... Degrees and Education didn't stop the Execs at Enron, Worldcom, Tyco and others from fibbing and thus causing significant financial damage to many people...

  25. Re:Am I the only one... on More On The BBC's Codec 'Dirac' · · Score: 1

    Both are from the BBC, no?
