    Napster?
    Definitely lying.

    SuSE doesn't offer it on DVD yet, do they?
    If not, then they should.

  3. Re:Samba will never really catch on ... on Samba Wins eWeek & PC Magazine Award · · Score: 2, Funny

    You might have to, to maintain forward compatibility with newer versions of Windows.

  4. Re:WTF???? on Microsoft's Goal, Security Through Obscurity? · · Score: 1

    I have purged MSN Messenger from my system, one lousy stinking file at a time. I never go near *.msn.com. The way the article reads it implies that I'm still vulnerable, even though there's no trace of MSN code on my system.

    You may have a point there.

  6. WTF???? on Microsoft's Goal, Security Through Obscurity? · · Score: 5, Flamebait
    As a result, even non-active Messenger users, or those who access the service using a third-party product such as Trillian, should upgrade to the new MSN Chat control.

    TRILLIAN CONTAINS NO MICROSOFT CODE. THIS IS A FLAW IN MICROSOFT'S CODE, NOT THE PROTOCOL.

    WTF was the author on?? HTF can he say this? It's blatantly wrong.

    p.s. I'm a Trillian user.

  7. Re:Does anyone else find it interesting... on Attack of the Clones Cut in UK · · Score: 1

    I'm just curious when the culture of violence and hate that the United States pushes on its citizens will finally become tiresome or offensive to them. Look at crime rates in Europe, where guns are near impossible to get hold of and where there are no restrictive anti-sex laws on television. Is it any wonder that their crime rates per capita are significantly lower than the US?

    Double check your statistics. I think you'll find that crime in gun-free Europe is actually higher than in the US. Gun control is bad.

  8. hal.dll on Why Hal Will Never Exist · · Score: 1

    But I thought HAL did exist. What's this hal.dll file doing in c:\windows\system32?
    My computer certainly acts like it's self-aware.

  9. Re:Whoa... on Sony PCG-U1 · · Score: 1

    It's capable of running x86 through Code Morphing (transparent emulation --- the system knows nothing and sees nothing). Its default ISA is x86, though it should theoretically be possible to flash out the Code Morphing software for x86 and put in Code Morphing software for, say, a G3..

  10. Re:Why bother? on Sony PCG-U1 · · Score: 1

    The Crusoe is a x86 compatible CPU (They're not that bad --- I've used one firsthand; I own a Vaio C1VN Picturebook). Being able to run x86 Linux beats ARM Linux any day, IMHO. That's why you bother.

    Oh, don't forget that the U1 has a 20 GB HDD and can take 384 MB RAM, not to mention hardware-accelerated graphics (8 MB ATI just like the Vaio C1VN [*remembers playing Force Commander and JK 1 on my C1VN*]). I would kill to see an ARM-based setup that matches that.

    My $0.02.
