  1. Re:Houston Has Similar Plans on Vermont City Almost Encased In a 1-Mile Dome · · Score: 5, Insightful

    At just one percent of glass, ETFE is described as 99 percent nothing.

    Then why didn't they name it "Congress"?

    Because unlike Congress ETFE is transparent.

  2. Re:Yeah? So? on Windows 7 To Sell In UK For Half the US Price · · Score: 1

    Isn't selling a product in a foreign country for less than you sell it at home called "dumping"

  3. AOL's XDrive blows Microsoft's trial away on Microsoft to Offer Free Online Storage · · Score: 2, Informative

    AOL's XDrive is available now and offers users 5Gb for free. It certainly makes 500Mb look paltry. And of course don't forget, the Microsoft offering will exclude Macintosh users. When they go to Microsoft Live they get told they are not running a supported browser. This just goes to show that Microsoft's real strategy is turf protection of their Operating System monopoly.

  4. Re:Funny... on Return of the Mac · · Score: 1

    I agree that the Mac Mini is a turning point. In the past year I have switched to a Powerbook. As my kids get to need machines I have purchased an iMac G5 and a Mac Mini and am about to switch my wife from a wintel laptop to a powerbook.

    The Mac environment works. I have even setup the mini as a server running OS X Server. It was the simplest server setup I have ever done and I have used lots of peer-to-peer, Netware, Linux and Windows server installations over the past 15 years.
