  1. Re:I still dont on ICANN Approves Two More Top-Level Domains · · Score: 1

    perhaps, but I really prefer .ca and .uk over com/net.

    Give me a nice .org anyday over a .com (the org usually, but not always, implies freestuff within)

  2. Re:It's hurting Linux, not OSS on Open Source on Windows - Boon or Bane for Linux? · · Score: 1

    "Besides, isn't locking in OS Apps to an OS OS no different than Microsoft locking people into using Windows for any of their apps?"

    OS apps generally run on ALL free systems.

    Windows apps only run on windows.

    small difference

    besides not shooting each other that is......

  4. Re:one of the things i would like to see is with on How to Build a Better Browser · · Score: 1

    Mine does!

    But she won't work in Paris because she cannot find Freedom Fries anywhere. :-)

  5. Re:Virus Source Code on Desktop Search Tools Will Help Virus Writers · · Score: 1

    My question is...

    How does Microsoft deal with spy/mal/ad ware internally?

    Surely they don't run spybot.

    Surely they have some windows machines?

  6. Re:So when Luke's hand is cut off... on LEGO Star Wars Video Game · · Score: 1

    Isn't that exactly what happened anyway?

  7. Re:Mixed feeling on HIV Vaccine · · Score: 1

    actually our govt doesn't subsidise the prices, they just refuse to pay US retail prices. That, and buying in bulk goes a long way.

    Individual states could accomplish similar if the interstate commerce act permits.

  8. Re:Update on SCO.com Defaced · · Score: 1

    I hope you scanned it for trojans

  9. Re:AK and North America on Intelsat-7 Lost In Space · · Score: 1

    funny that,

    I thought Canada was between AK and the continental US.

    Must be time for a new map.

    Anyone know where the "Asia After Dark" channel went?

  11. Re:Windows and Linux? on Cross-Platform Java Sandbox Exploit · · Score: 1

    It's a sandbox exploit right?

    So it jumps out of the sandbox right?

    Perhaps it only jumps out on one platform but spreads using many?

    interesting indeed.

  12. Re:http://www.google.com/firefox on FireFox Sets the World Ablaze · · Score: 1

    or the corresponding ie page (freaky)

    Microsoft spidering (for) me?

    hmmm time to update robots.txt (as if they'll REALLY honour it)

  14. Does doom 3 run on it? on ATI's Athlon 64 Chipset with Integrated Graphics · · Score: 1

    and how well?

  15. slashdotted already on Konfabulator Coming to Windows · · Score: 1

    so can someone tell me what konfabulator does?

    I sure hope it isn't a bandwidth optimizer or any like thing :-)

  16. Re:Glad I have myth on TiVo Plans More Functionality Reductions · · Score: 1

    it's called softcam in the windows world.

    some dvb cards even have a CommonInterface port for your cam (card)

  17. Re:Glad I have myth on TiVo Plans More Functionality Reductions · · Score: 2, Informative

    dvb-t (digital cable support) or dvb-s (satellite)
    should do the trick :-)

    (myth supports both)

  18. Re:WTF?? on SCO To Counter Groklaw With 'Fair' Coverage · · Score: 1

    scorgasm.com is not found on google (didn't bother with a whois)

    Shall we play a game?

  19. Re:Then patch it on Ten Security Bulletins From Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think parent DIDN'T say go to the SOURCE.

    He said do the difficult and modify the COMPILED BINARY to skip the check.

    Source would be much easier (and we would do it for you to boot).

    Cousin Randy? Is that you?

  21. Re:Not an Island on Will VoIP Kill the PBX? · · Score: 1

    Apparently (with much respect), you do not understand WallStreet/Bay Street trading firms.

    I have similar experience (minus the PBX fix :-) as the parent.

    Trading services (and all the data baggage they entail) are to be treated with much conservatism. AND it is a thankless job. Traders see the new tech and want it immediately. Their bosses are the ones that understand "mission-critical" with respect to phones/trading apps/exchange/ecn access.

    Lose email for a few minutes? you are (sorta) forgiven.

    Lose the phone/exchange for a second, all hell has already broken loose.

    If you were (as we were) a data/exchange vendor (we sold market access via prop. Unix boxen, PC software,web and phone), you would more understand where new tech is safe and where it is to be extremely carefully tested.

    Cios understand this usually, and if they do not, (in this situation) it's your job to 'splain it to them until they do.
