  1. Now is the time... on mp3.com Acquired by CNet · · Score: 1

    ..to move all your music over to
    Lulu.com
    It's free and you have control over storefronts and distribution and much more. I'm diggin' it.

  2. Re:Other music sites for Independent Artists on mp3.com Acquired by CNet · · Score: 1

    don't forget
    Lulu.com
    They seem to have their stuff together, they're free. They treat their users great, and they allow you more control over the way your stuff is distributed. They're worth checking into.

  3. WTF... on iTunes Disables MusicMatch · · Score: 1

    .. quit your whining people. For all intensive purposes limiting it to iTunes is part of the DRM that allows these downloads anyway. It's not like there aren't ways around it. And it's the superior product for once that disables the inferior product.
    If you don't like it go use a Rio...

  4. Upgrade Path.. on Review of Mac OS X 10.3 · · Score: 1

    "but I think an upgrade path for existing users (short of buying a new machine) would be nice"
    This is very funny to me, as 10.3 will run on any Mac since the Yosemite architecture (Jan 99). So you can have a machine that is almost 5 years old and run it fine. If you haven't upgraded your RAM and video card by now your already losing. There is a fine upgrade path don't let them fool you.

  5. Yeah... on Broadcast Flag All But Approved · · Score: 1

    Aivid's OSX port absolutely sucks. As for video editing on Linux, Pixar merely renders on Linux..

  6. To:I HATE MAC'S..because I'm a moron... on PC Mag Compares G5 to Xeon · · Score: 2, Funny

    Stay away from my computers. If it took you anything over 30 minutes to complete that task you are a moron. When you get your airport card there are these little things called instructions. If you simply follow them it is as easy as 1,2,3... But he way how long have you had your MCSE?

  7. Re:ATI 9600 on New PowerBooks, Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse · · Score: 1

    Yellow Dog supports the Powerbooks wonderfully.

  8. absolutley not... on Should ISPs Be The Little Man's Firewall? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't want them filtering anything for me thank you. I can take care of myself. Next thing they'll be stripping attachments off of email and blocking content. Let internet Darwinism take it's course, only the strong will survive,a nd when all these people get tired of the insecure crap that windows is, maybe, just maybe they'll vote with their dollars to not support MS anymore.

  9. Get reel/real! on Film Distribution Comes To The Internet · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They need to ditribute this in multiple formats if they want a chance in hell of making this work. It seems that the same people that go to see indy movies are the same people using linux and Mac. So they need to make it available to us.

  10. polish a turd? on Perfect Pitch for Those Without It · · Score: 1

    why yes we can, and have been for sometime, the 1st time with an UltraHarmonizer, and the technology just keeps getting better, or worse as the case may be... But now we have really shiny turds... and if you have any sense you can pick out the turds really quick...

  11. Apple TiBook... on Watercooling Drifting Mainstream · · Score: 2, Informative

    ...is at least partially liquid cooled. Apple has been doing this since the G3 Powerbooks. So it only makes sense to use the technology on the G5's...

  12. I'm scared... on Surviving Slashdotting with a Small Server · · Score: 1

    to post anything, article wise or mirror, I think it'll bring my little ol' server to it's knees...
    plus having only a 384/384 pipe doesn't help.

  13. back during the dot.com boom... on Desktop Linux Sliding in Under the Radar? · · Score: 1

    ...I worked for an ISP in the Data Services Group. Besides our corporate issue laptops running windows, everyone in our dept. had at least one machine running either BSD or linux. These machines were sourced from the trash pile at corporate HQ. Most everything we did production wise was done on these machines, while the corproate laptops were merely for checking our calenders...

  14. SORRY but "/.'ed the entire Mac community." on New G5 Power Macs "Fastest Desktop In The World" · · Score: 1

    ...my ass. It was the Mac community that brought it to it's knees. Though I admit having the rest of the geeks in on it helped. The return of Apple is near, leave your PC's and come on over to the dark side...

  15. Re:The Apple We All Know and Love on iBox Episode 2 · · Score: 1

    Yo Homer, Got a grudge? Your obviously anti-Apple. As for doing something useful with OSX, you obviously need to learn how to use UNIX, cause it's there. Your just a PC weenie trying to be cool bashing that which you know nothing about. As for Mandrake being better than OSX with plug and play and drivers that's a hoot...

  16. Mine is silent... on A Truly Silent Desktop PC · · Score: 1

    ...unless you run the DVD.
    I added a Seagate Barracuda 80GB drive and a GeForce 3, and a Panaflo fan (Silent) in preperation for the 1Ghz upgrade I'll be putting in. Incredible machine that was way ahead of it's time.

  17. Re:So what? "crack monkey" on Apple Terminates Safari Seed Program · · Score: 1

    dude, put the pipe down and step away.... "linux killed Be", I think not, Be was a desktop OS, linux wasn't even close then. And "Apple is going out of business", oh I've heard that one about a thousand times before... like every year for the last 15...
    face it they are here to stay, they are the porsche of computers, while your playing with your little honda....

  18. Re:Where'd tabs go? on Apple Terminates Safari Seed Program · · Score: 2, Informative

    it's because tabbed browsing is always on in this one, no need to turn it on....

  19. They just need to ask for a list... on Pennsylvania Court Forces ISPs to Block Porn Sites · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...of sites to be blocked. I worked at an ISP and at one time a rather irate customer wanted all of a certian kind of pr0n blocked. We simply asked for a list of all those sites that they wanted blocked. This simply made them go away...

  20. a bunch of whiners... on iCommune Retools Itself as Standalone Open Source App · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...the guy violated the license for the SDK, and they put a halt to his charade, boo hoo... I dont' feel bad for him at all, now he has to write the way he should have in the 1st place... as for Open Source, Apple has steadily been comitting the new code back as per the licensing it agreed to... KHTML is bound to be tons better because of this, as well as BSD itself..

  21. Why use the new GeForceFX cards .... on Updated Power Macs at Apple.com · · Score: 1

    ...when every test puts it right w/ the Radeon 9700.
    I read all the benchmarks in the article yesterday. It went back and forth between the 2, and it was on a windows box, it'll even perform better on the Mac w/ native open GL

  22. Re:I'm not sure about _all_ CRTs on Sony to Stop Producing Smaller CRTs · · Score: 1

    if you've got DVI you can use the new Formac plasma displays. The first truly color correctable plasma displays. They rock. CRTs are on the way out.

  23. cost way over inflated... on How Much Does it Cost to Produce a Recording? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ...back in the 80's when CDs 1st appeared they were more expensive than albume, even though they cost LESS to produce. The record industry said once the cost of tooling was paid for cost would go down, they lied... Even in a pro studio you can record an album for way less than $100k. The rest of the supposed cost goes to marketing and promotion, which is a bunch of BS. The record companies are bigger crooks than Enron... I see 1000 CDs regularly for just over $1k w/ packaging....

  24. good riddance... on Sony to Stop Producing Smaller CRTs · · Score: 1

    ..I'm tired of the oversized,desk wasting, heat producing beasts. I would much rather have a LCD display, especially if it's a good one with DVI input. Has anyone tried moving a 19" CRT latley. I quit taking CRT's to LAN parties and take my 15" (viewable) LCD instead.

  25. Speakeasy rocks..it's in the details... on Speakeasy Welcomes WiFi network sharing · · Score: 1

    and they are... static IP's (6 of them)... true 384/384 (Bridged SDSL), treated like a partial frame... no problem with using my own routers (I prefer netopias, plus I have a few already)... no problem running my own servers off of the line... excellent support (they don't talk down to you, I'm a network engineer/IT professional)...great uptimes, in 3 years the biggest outage was Sep. 11th and they credited me for the downtime (wasn't down immediately, but after their generator ran 48 hrs straight it bit the bullet, forgiveable) I am now routed through their new Chicago prescence...I can recommend them without question, and believe it's worth the extra, like they say "you get what you pay for"
