  1. I just bought one of these on Linux Not Quite Ready For New 4K-Sector Drives · · Score: 1

    Can some kind soul tell me specfically what version of what utility I need to use for me to be OK? Or what settings?

    My head hurts from trying to understand cylinders and sectors and drive geometry...

    thanks!

  2. Re:Worthless data... on IRS Pushes for New Reporting at Expense of Privacy · · Score: 1

    They wouldn't be figuring the tax... they'd just be reporting income, like a 1099 or W-2.

  3. Did he own stock in Atari? on The 20 Worst Games Ever · · Score: 1

    Given the level of Jaguar bashing, I think there may have been a traumatic Jaguar-related incident in his childhood...

  4. one word on Managing a Huge Music Collection? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    amaroK

  5. Re:Some currently available mp3 players on RIAA Goes After Satellite Radio · · Score: 3, Interesting

    But it's highly compressed... I would hardly call it "perfect"

  6. Re:Typo? on Grokster Case Aftermath: Busy times Ahead for EFF · · Score: 4, Informative

    But here it is being used as an adjective, and concerning is not an adjective...

    After a quick google search:
    The Oxford English Dictionary has a limited amount of evidence for concerning as an adjective meaning 'causing concern; worrying; important; weighty'. Their first example is from 1649, and the most recent is from 1834; it's marked "archaic."

    reduce the phrase to "a very concerning interview", and is just sounds wrong... /end of pedatic discussion

  7. Typo? on Grokster Case Aftermath: Busy times Ahead for EFF · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Concerning or Disconcerting?

  8. Re:Color, multitasking? on A Review of the 128KB Macintosh · · Score: 2, Informative

    Cool. And since I'm an Atari ST fanboy (still have a working Falcon), I'll point out that Dungeon Master was first deveolped for the ST, and then ported to all those other, "lesser" platforms...

  9. Re:Doom for Social Security on Do You Want to Live Forever? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wow! Is there anything Doom can't be ported to?

  10. Re:Circumvent the RIAA on RIAA Sues More Music Lovers · · Score: 5, Informative

    Or one could only buy from non-RIAA labels. See RIAA Radar http://www.magnetbox.com/riaa/ for a cool service to search for independent music. Also... Support metal! \m/

  11. p2p on Justice Dept. Raids Homes of File Swappers · · Score: 3, Funny

    I thought it meant pleased 2 plunder!

  12. NVidia? on Linux Kernel 2.6.7 Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does the NVidia driver work with it?

  13. Some popups are good on Public Outcry Over Popup Ads · · Score: 1

    While Konqueror does allow you to disable ALL popups, are there any linux utilities that only disable unwanted popups, leaving requested popups (e.g. Clicktv program listings) alone? Kind of like PopOff for Windows.
