  1. Re:On SATA? on Colossus 3.5-in SSD Combines Quad Controllers · · Score: 1

    If you put it on a card, then the chips will sit vertically, and the data will leak out of the bottom. They have to be put in a disk enclosure and mounted horizontally so that they bits stay inside the chip.

    That's ridiculous. As long as you're connected to the internet, the "series of tubes" would catch any loose data before it could possibly leak out the bottom.

  7. Re:burst.com? on Should We Follow Novell v. MS in Detail? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Burst is currently in court suing Microsoft for stealing their video on demand technology. Microsoft had examined the technology over a period of many months, decided not to license it but did offer Burst $1M for an exclusive license. Burst declined and soon MS was touting a new version of their media player featuring the same technology.

    During trial discovery Burst lawyers found that Microsoft had purged all emails regarding Burst during the negotiating period. So that puts Burst SOL unless they can prove why the emails were destroyed.

    Well, if massive discounts are at stake, then the OEM's would not be able to compete without them.

  14. This is no Punishment on Microsoft Would Settle For The Children · · Score: 1

    Once again MS seems to be getting of with not only no punishment but they will actually benefit from this settlement.

    A reasonable punishment would be for MS to give the cash money "value" of the software to the schools to spend as they want on educational materials.

  17. Re:Price on IBM ThinkPad T22 w/Linux Review · · Score: 1

    IBM's deal with MS probably requires os royalty payment for each unit shipped. If so, there is no savings. Also, for sure, MS doesn't allow dual booting; so, you end up paying for a MS license but not really getting it (partially a good thing).

  18. Re:IBM on Which Laptop To Buy? · · Score: 1

    I have a Thinkpad T21. Everything has Linux support except for the winmodem. I found out the hard way that they don't all come with Lucent-chipped winmodems. Mine is (at least so far) unsupported.
