    Even though weatherbug might install itself through unkind methods (faking windows update things and such) the program itself is NOT spyware.

  3. Call & Complain on SunnComm Says Pointing to Shift Key 'Possible Felony' · · Score: 1

    If you dislike this the idea of them suing everyone perhaps we should call SunnComm at 602.267.7500 and tell them how much they suck and that we will never buy anything from them even if we are under the slightest impression that they might have been invovled with it and saying your an investor that sold all their shares probably would help you more :)

    I have violated the DMCA 10 times in this comment.

  4. Windows already has an all in one media player on MPlayer 1.0Pre1 Is Here · · Score: 5, Informative

    It is called Media Player Classic. It's hosted on sourceforge and is open source! It also conviently doesn't include Quicktime or Real codec's but a quick search on google for Quicktime Alternative and Real Alternative gives you those codecs! It can play everything provided you have the proper codec installed including DVDs so everyone on windows enjoy. Appropriate links follow below:

    Media Player Classic

    Real Alternative

    Quicktime Alternative

    This question made me wonder could Macintosh users, use Pocket PCs? YES! I did a quick google search and produced this neat program which I cannot test because I'm one of those pesky Windows buggers but maybe it'll be helpful they have a free demo and it works with Dell Axim's and the Basic Model is only $199

  8. Online Game Guides! on Are Game Guides Dying? · · Score: 1

    Print Game Guides are dieing, nobody cares. What I'm surprised no one remembers is gameguides.com which was owned by Gamespot, they had the idea that they could sell PDF guides with screen shots and everything only online, their problem was that they wanted to charge back in the 90's when everything was supposed to be free. Anyway IGN launched IGN Guides which was supposed to be the exact same thing except it was free! (Everyone can see where this is going? Microsoft vs. Netscape anyone?) Anyway Gameguides.com turned to free and eventually gamespot let it die. Once they did that a time later (I'm not sure how long) IGN introduced IGN Insider and made new guides a perk of being an Insider and it was infact one of the reasons I signed up. I mean for $25 you get Video Game News, reviews, videos, pictures and full fledged game guides (no longer in PDF though) with pictures and maps. So I think Print Guides have outlived their business model and it's time for them to move online.

    Actually they ported the games to cube, infact some magazines and I think maybe a website or two compared it to the N64 version and the Cube version looked a bit better.

  11. Re:Linux GUI Design on Lycoris Announces Desktop/LX Tablet Edition · · Score: 1

    I mean if you really want to copy a GUI why not look to Mac OS X?

    Because MS doesn't sue when you copy XP and Apple does.

  12. P2P and Newsgroups on Meet the DoJ's 'Anti-Piracy' Lawyers · · Score: 1

    Hi! I've always wondered how do you choose to go after people I mean do you decide hey we're going to go after this guy who's downloading stuff from Newsgroups and Kazaa because he's doesn't want to buy it? or do you tend to focus on people who are selling it out of their trunk in some parking lot for massive profits?

    Yes for now except once they get done with the filetraders then I can see them starting after the leechers with download bots recording the IP addresses of leechers too.

  17. Re:My mom... on Mom Meets Linux - A Lindows 4.0 Review · · Score: 1

    Why not get her a MSNTV/WebTV I mean it'll do all of that and it's easy and gets rid of almost all of your fears. No tech support, no security issues, no spyware and no email viruses. If she needs tech support I think they have a 1-800 # if you're not free and you can Instant Message her with MSN Messenger. So it sounds like to me that would be the perfect solution for you and it's cheap!

  18. Re:thankyousirmayihaveanother? on Jaguar is Over · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    But you forget this is Apple and they're allowed to have a monopoly on their own hardware and give deliberately monopolistic terms on their Operating System (not permitted on non Apple Hardware anyone?) and force upgrades every year at $129. When MS released Windows 98 SE they allowed Windows 98 users to upgrade for $20 if they wanted to, it wasn't even forced. (If you paid the $20 MS sent you an upgrade disc)
