  1. Re:Make Unsecured OS Illegal too!!! on Unsecured Wi-Fi to Become Illegal? · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's "X Window System", there is no "s" in "Window".

  2. Re:VANTEC Nexstar line on External Hard Drive Enclosures? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I agree!

    I have both Nextstar 2 and 3 enclosures (USB 2.0) and I'm quite happy with both. The Nexstar 2 is made with cheap plastic, but since it holds my backup hard drive it doesn't matter too much (the drive is plugged for not very long anyways). The rubber paddings are quite nice too.

    Having this enclosure, I needed another one, to hold my primary external storage on my laptop. I bought the Nexstar 3 since I found the NS2 good enough, and because the NS3 is made of aluminium instead of plastic (since this enclosure is mostly always powered, I needed an enclosure that can dissipate heat). It is very nice, a bit smaller than the NS2 and without rubber pads, but the HDD is quite tight inside it so the heat can dissipate very easily. Plus, it looks quite nice.

    On a sidenote, Vantec support is excellent. I accidently broke one of the 2" IDE cables, and they sent me another one at no cost and very quickly. Recommended!

  6. Sure Videotron will do this on Canadian ISP to Name Music Swappers · · Score: 5, Informative
    Videotron is owned by Quebecor. Quebecor owns several music producers and distributors, like Select, Musicor and Trans-Canada. Also, Quebecor owns Archambault, which is one of the largest (if not the largest) CD retailer in Quebec.

    It's clear to me that using FUD, Quebecor (using Videotron) wants to raise up the profits in its music division.

  11. Re:Yahoo still exists? on Yahoo Debuts Search APIs · · Score: 1

    I use Yahoo for e-mail because I think their service is better than Hotmail. Some features on Yahoo Mail are quite neat and useful (to me), the agenda for example. Google and MSN does not offer that, AFAIK.

  12. Re:Samsung Laser Printers on Finding a Reliable Laser Printer? · · Score: 1

    I second that. I have a ML-1450 since nearly 2 years and it's fast, prints really good, works well with Linux/ OS X/ Windows and (almost) paper jam free.

    No, since the number was computed by that new Intel chip, VIIV really means 64 (hint: think of the Pentium bug).

    I know it's going a little OT but still...

    Better yet, they don't allow knives (like my small Victorinox Classic) on board, yet they allow glass bottles (beer, wine and such). IMO it's far easier to attack someone with a full wine bottle than with a 2" knife. I still don't understand.
