  1. Re:Just like the no-fly list? on Google+ Account Suspended? You Won't Find Out Why · · Score: 1

    Good luck sorting it out like this guy is currently having to do...

  2. Cheap and effective on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Destroy Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    Use a sledgehammer

  3. Re:$30 mil per movie title! on Netflix Signs Exclusive Deal With Dreamworks · · Score: 1

    nah, it's probably $30 mil per distribution method, so $60 mil total per title.

    So now it will be 2 lattes a day that you can't have if you want to watch these movies!

  4. Another recycled idea come back to haunt on Windows 8 Introduces a New Cross-App Data-Sharing System · · Score: 1

    They've resurrected network DDE from NT 3.5 and tied it to a IP address instead of a network share.

    This is one to add back to the machine lock down service disable list.

  5. Re:Whiners... on Why Netflix Had To Raise Its Prices · · Score: 1

    How about FIRST improving their offering,

    Netflix thinks they did that with the recent user interface "upgrade".

  6. Re:If only it was backwards compatible... on AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core Chips Released · · Score: 1

    I've been using a upgraded RedHat 7.2 for quite a while on a LX164 and DP264. I've been meaning to try Fedora AlphaCore 1.0 (based on Fedora Core 3). See http://www.alphalinux.org/ for download and torrent links.

    For Tru64, have you seen the info for the cheap non-commercial version at http://www.tru64unix.compaq.com/noncommercial-unix / ?

  7. Re:Big Surprise on More Analysis Of Pentium M Desktops · · Score: 1

    Bah! No, keep your Athlon64. Us 30 somethings use Alphas and have done so for the last 10+ years. We have rock stable 64 bit systems, get our work done, and still have CPU cycles left over to look at porn. We overclock the x86 systems for fun to see if they will catch up to the Alpha without burning out.
