  4. Which is quietest? on Hitachi Announces 400GB Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Of the newest mega-drives, which are the quitest?

    I'm chugging away with Seagate Barracuda 120gb drives with Super Whiz Bang Quiet Technology(TM), and am not very interested in adding high-pitch tones to my aural environment again.

  6. Nelson said it best. on SCO Not Lying About DoS Attack · · Score: 5, Funny
  7. On his bookshelf. on O'Reilly On What Happened To BountyQuest · · Score: 4, Funny

    O'Reilly goes on to say that he now has a killer piece of 1-Click prior art 'on my bookshelf,

    A TV remote control, i.e. used for pay-per-view pr0n purchases from the sofa?

  8. The next time this happens... on McBride Interview from Utah SCO Protest · · Score: 1

    ...someone needs to pipe up and ask him point-blank why he and his cronies have been dumping their stock.

  9. Singalong! on McBride Interview from Utah SCO Protest · · Score: 1

    P: What's the difference?

    Darl: We didn't send you a letter, right? We sent it out to commercial users.

  10. Me am? on Roland Attacks MT-32 Emulator Project · · Score: 2, Funny

    Me, Mr. Dean Beeler, am the only individual of majority age subject of this communcation.

    "Me am?" This is probably not the best way to begin a fuck-off letter...

  11. Re:Freshmeat! on Linux Journal Readers' Choice Awards Announced · · Score: 1

    It reminds me of my days checking Aminet's recent uploads page over and over back in my Amiga days.

  12. Profit lust... on Suing Your Customers: Winning Business Strategy? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...drives corporations and conglomerates to do morally repugnant things like suing its customers in order to achieve the all-important goal of preventing revenues from dropping from previous years'.

    On the other hand, its also the same thing that drives corporations and conglomerates to be penny wise and pound foolish. Dirty money from suing children is a source of income that is necessarily limited. It will end. The individuals in the RIAA aren't stupid: they know it will end, too.

    However, the RIAA, the entity itself, will charge ahead anyway.

  13. What now? on EMusic Acquired, Halting Unlimited Downloads · · Score: 1

    Anyone want to get together and swap eMusic albums? I'm into jazz and eastern music myself.

  14. Old skool callout. on Xen High-Performance x86 Virtualization Released · · Score: 1

    The only thing Xen means to me is this.

  15. The John Moschitta Technical Institute on Living Life in Fast-Forward · · Score: 1

    What, you don't remember who John Moschitta is?

  16. centericq also updated on Yahoo Restored in Some IM Clients · · Score: 2

    centericq is also fixed for Yahoo in the latest CVS.

  17. iptables --source winders_box -j DROP on China Prepares To Examine MS Windows Code · · Score: 1

    If you were concerned about intentional holes in Windows permitting sekrat U.S. government access, wouldn't a properly configured firewall make the point moot?

  18. Re:Why wouldn't they comply? on FCC To Enforce Do Not Call List, Not FTC · · Score: 1

    There is also a small bit of fine print that you would think would motivate them quite a bit: it's federal law.

    The fact that they will hem and haw and weakly "ask" it's member to comply, even in the face of that fact, says something about the people we are dealing with (or, I guess, who are trying to forcefully deal with us.)

  19. The joke's on you, Gary. on The Weak Signal Challenge - Decode and Win $100 · · Score: 3, Funny

    This is nothing more than a recording of a McDonald's drive-through speaker.

  20. Re:There go my savings. on The Borg MegaCube · · Score: 1

    If you're paying $100 per season, you may not be looking in the right place.

  21. Network Solutions' latest response... on Paul Vixie And David Maher On VeriSign Wildcarding · · Score: 1

    Yet still my emails to VeriSign somehow end up at Network Solution's feet. At this point their responses aren't nearly so "helpful" with regard to volunteering opinions about the permissibility of VeriSign's decision to .com and .net into upheaval.

    Thank you for choosing Network Solutions. Site Finder is not controlled or maintained by the Network Solutions Registrar. We are unable to provide any support or assistance for this service.

  22. Finally, a sales opportunity! on Mini-ITX AmigaONE Board · · Score: 1

    Anyone looking for a loaded Amiga 2000 to run their imaginary copy of AmigaOS 4.0 on?

  23. Network Solutions responded to me once again... on VeriSign Responds To ICANN's SiteFinder Advisory · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It appears that Network Solutions may have learned to tuck tail and run whenever anyone comes asking what the hell their parent company is doing.

    When they responded to me last week, they told me that Verisign was "well within the guidelines" that Verisign set up in the document they created for their own "service."

    Now I only get form responses from NetSol drones: "It seems you are having trouble with the SiteFinder service. Please read the SiteFinder FAQ at: ..."

  24. Someone at Network Solutions responded to me. on VeriSign Sued Over SiteFinder Service · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I sent an email to various VeriSign addresses about their abuse. Somehow one of them got routed to a Network Solutions drone.

    The drone informed me in a form letter that VeriSign's practices were "well within the guidelines" established by the document Domain Name System Wildcards in Top-Level Domain Zones.

    After deconstructing this, we are left with: VeriSign is within the guidelines of the document VeriSign wrote on the matter.

    Uhm...

  25. Who are they kidding? on RIAA Settles With 12-Year-Old Downloader · · Score: 1

    Wasn't the RIAA going after the "big time" filesharers?

    Am I supposed to believe a 12-year-old girl living in a housing project had a 100gb archive of the latest dreck from RIAA member labels?
