  2. It's already as aggresive as it can be on Microsoft's Video Site 'Soapbox' Disappointing · · Score: 1

    The Reviewer expected something more aggressive.

    Has he thought about probable integration with Windows Media Player?
    Has he thought about probable integration with MSN (Live) Messenger and MSN Spaces?
    Has he thought about probable integration with Windows XP or Windows Vista?

    Plug in a webcam, Windows detects it, Windows asks if you want to publish your video.
    To MSN Soapbox ofcourse.
    Hurray.

    Not aggressive enough?

  3. Now they can start with FreeWIN3.11 v0.1 alpha on FreeDOS 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Now that FreeDOS 1.0 is done, they can start building FreeWIN3.11 v0.1 alpha on top of it.
    (Do they already have a FreeDOSShell? If not, they can do that first).

    In 2016, they might be able to start with FreeWIN95.
    2026 FreeWIN98
    2036 FreeWIN98SE
    2046 FreeWINME
    2056 FreeWINXP
    2066 FreeWINVISTA

    Will Microsoft or FreeDOS be first with the Vista editions? ;)

  4. Re:Random Distribution on You Have Been 'Randomly' Selected? · · Score: 1

    And on the other side, other people are never selected.

    Damned, those one-armed bandits!

  5. Re:Definition of "random" on You Have Been 'Randomly' Selected? · · Score: 1

    They randomly select people (so, not all) from a specific group (selection).
    So they do randomly select people, but the group they randomly select from, isn't random.
    Which is actually almost the case when randomly select *people*.

  6. Stupid spam, or not? on Australia's Largest ISP Redefines Spam · · Score: 1

    I thought most people here dislike or even hate spam, DOSS attacks and people with outlook who send out virusses?

    Isn't it a bit of a good idea that at least someone is trying to limit all those attacks? I think it is. I'm pretty sure that the legitimate users won't be affected by that monitoring limit (or am I wrong?).

  7. Shocker on Repel Bugs With Your Cell Phone · · Score: 2, Funny

    They should combine this phone with Sony VIAO's electric shock laptop (a few articles earlier.

    But it should attract insects and then shock them. Then there's no need to recall all those laptops too.

  8. Cellwatch on Groovy Wristomo Cell Phone Announced · · Score: 1

    I've been using my cellphone as my clock for over a year now, since my "normal" watch died. I guess this could be the solution to my problem.

    Next problem is some cash I guess :P

  9. Re:where the blogs come from? on Blogger Hacked · · Score: 1

    New, updated content on a website is good.

    And a blog or weblog or journal is just a cheap and easy way to post new content on a site, a legit way to put useless stuff online.

    So, new updated useless content on a website is good.

  10. Media attention on Microsoft Vandalizes NYC · · Score: 1

    Whatever Microsoft is doing this time, it's WORKING. It's attracting media again and gives them even more free publicity. Smart.

  11. MS Office and ML's on Tim Bray on Microsoft Office · · Score: 1

    So MS Office will use XML in the next versions?

    It might be XML yes, but...
    I have seen what MS Office did to HTML.

    And I'm scared.

  12. Re:I heard around "100" on Could CDRW Disks Replace Videotapes? · · Score: 1

    So you mean I should stop buying blank-label CDRW's (died after 4~5 times using 2speed on a Samsung burner)?

    I guess it's true what they say. These cheap disks didn't guarantee anything. although, one of my (now dead) CDRW's came for free with a Sony burner. But I guess "free" is cheap too.

  13. Re:CD-RW on Could CDRW Disks Replace Videotapes? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Fit?

    On the other hand...

    A lot of CD's fit in the same physical space it would take to store a VHS cassette in. And there are "juke boxes" for audio cd's, a juke box for video CD's (CD/CDRW/DVD etc) sounds more likely than one for VHS cassettes.

  14. Dead CDRW's on Could CDRW Disks Replace Videotapes? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Even with normal data, the samsung burner, made the CDRWs I used lose data already after 4-5 burns. I think for permanent storage, normal CDr's are good, but I wouldn't trust CDRWs too much with any of my computer data or audio/video.

  15. Good old times. on Gnarly Error Messages · · Score: 1

    I haven't programmed anything lately. But seeing all those funny or non-descriptive error messages makes me want to program something again.

    I hope the user won't get completely lost.
