  1. Re:Common sense? on Fighting Back Against EULAs · · Score: 1

    I installed a program once that didn't have the license text area read-only. I happily edited the licence to acceptable terms then clicked 'agree'. :)

    Does anyone else just feel absolutely tiny...

    And still my SETI@Home finds nothing.

    He is most certainly not browsing at -1.

  4. Warning! on Review of Hands Free Mouse · · Score: 1

    The ergonomic trackIR(TM) provides precise cursor control through simple head movement...

    This in combination with gestures can lead to severe neck and shoulder problems ;)

    Something to keep in mind when thinking of "cool ideas":

    These people are not in the business of making the most exciting, involved, or cool game. They are in the business of selling subscriptions. They will do only what they think is necessary to continue to sell subscriptions. They don't care about implementing new features or "wouldn't it be cool" ideas, unless they believe that it will add to their bottom line.

    It would be neat if my local theater had a digital screen, but it will not happen. They are not in the business of creating great movie experiences. They are in the business of getting me to the snack bar so they can sell me twenty cents of popcorn for five bucks.

    It may be cynical but it's true.

  6. Not Quite on Sun Files Suit Against Microsoft for Anti-Trust Violations · · Score: 1
    SAMBA and Novell seemed to get along just fine

    You need to look at this Novell TID to see just how well they "get along."

    When using Windows Explorer from Windows XP Professional with the 4.82 or 4.83 client installed (IP-only and connected to a NetWare server) to copy files from one location to another location on the same server shows 100%-1000% performance decrease compared to Windows 2000 Professional copying the same files.

    A cause of this symptom specific to the Windows XP platform has been identified by Microsoft, and is being addressed as a change in NTOSKRNL.EXE for Windows XP.

    Both the hotfix and the Microsoft Knowledgebase article Q318043 are no longer available!

  7. Re:I understand and agree, but won't be subscribin on Announcing Slashdot Subscriptions · · Score: 1

    advertising OR subscriptions

    This is a false dichotomy. There are a lot of other options.

    Personally I like the idea of ... Merchandising, merchandising, where the real money from the site is made. Slashdot the T-shirt. Slashdot the lunchbox. Slashdot the coloring book. Slashdot... the flame thrower! Kids'll love it. (my apologies to Yogurt).

    I'd buy a "Old geeks don't die, they get Slashdotted" T-shirt.
