  2. Re:Good, for Napster. on 99% Blockage Isn't Good Enough, Says Napster Judge · · Score: 1

    true, however, saying that its ok to download mp3s over a napster subject, that leaves alot open..
    sure, they'res tons of mp3s that aren't commerical...

    I think a problem with napster with artists who "aren't known" causes a problem, because, well, most people don't know the "unknown artists." How are you suppose to search for them if you don't know their names?

  5. Re:Good thing to see on Adobe Responds to KIllustrator · · Score: 1

    yeah, I agree, somewhat..I'm happy that Adobe has come to their senses a bit..but I still think they should let them keep the name... however, they could change the name to Kfuckadobe :)

  6. Re:I want to kill these "hi-tech Boomhauers". on How To Deal With (Techie) Prima Donnas · · Score: 1

    I agree with you..however.. I'm a lowlife tech support guy...but I've been around for 15 years, starting off with dos and a 1200 baud modem..no schooling...

    in any event, alot of our developers who code, don't really know how shit works in order to code something correctly..like, you know how long it was before we were rolling out products that were 16-bit on an NT 4.0 platform? Half the inhouse software we had to install, you had to completely rig in order for it to work correctly. There was never a straight setup...and god forbid ever documented... having to add ports into service files, paths...plus, if you logged in as a different user, you'd have to reinstall...
    blah..programmers...:)

  7. Re:Yahoo! on MS, CNET On 7-Day Messenger Outage · · Score: 1

    I've used quite a few...here's my breakdown (in case anyone is interested)

    Yahoo's Messenger: its good in the fact that if your not online, when you come back on, your messages are there. It just seems a little too "fake"
    MSN: I don't like it at all. I do like how the first message pops up on your "taskbar." And I like how you can launch your webcam shit from there...
    AOL's: I like this the best...the buddy limit sucks, I like the buddy icons (woohoo)...
    dunno..thats all I have to say about that..

    you must not have kids or want any...or to give your kids or your grand kids what you have/had or better...

    you'll be dead in the next 50 years or so, or before that...I mean, I'm no "Save the world!" bumper sticker guy, but still...its pretty rotten enough to go through NYC and smell the stentch of piss in the subways, imagine what the rest of this hell is like. Even worse, take a trip over the Varrisano bridge and smell the garbage as you enter Staken Island. I'm surprised people actually live there it smells so fuckin' bad.
