  1. Re:China - MS-Office is FREE in China too! on Is StarOffice Ready To Take On Office? · · Score: 1

    MS-Office is FREE in China (and Japan and....)

  2. Hell yes and it SHOULD look and act just like Offi on Is StarOffice Ready To Take On Office? · · Score: 1
    See, what he doesn't get is when MS expires their current version of OfficeXX and there is a FREE version that does the same thing, I think people will naturally migrate to the FREE version.

    Why pony up more $$$ for the new MS office?

    These are frugal times.

  3. They should sue themselves. on MP3.com Sued for 'viral' Copyright Infringement? · · Score: 1

    They should sue themselves for making the freaking music. Jeez, don't they know if it can be played it can be recorded.

    8/31/00. Judge Hall issued a ruling giving Bristol an award of punitive damages of $1,000,000 and an injunction. 2/21/01. The parties announced a settlement, but did not release its terms. read: MS WAS GUILTY

  8. Re:Keep dreaming on DotGNU and Mono Continue · · Score: 1

    Mark my words and I'll even save you from the 'I told you so'.

  9. Good idea on DotGNU and Mono Continue · · Score: 1

    I still think this is a good idea. Eventually MS will make a huge public blunder by trying to stomp out MONO. Unlike the Bristoll case (and countless others) MS has entered a very high profile and public 'partnership' where EVERY move will be watched.

    Sooner or later MS will eat crow or this.

  18. Good Use on The Read-Once, Write-Never Web · · Score: 1
    I can see a reason for this.


    We have a large mailing list (550,000 addresses), 80% are female and over the age of 35. Odds are, they won't do screen shots, print to PDF and post on a web site, bla, bla, bla.


    It would work for us. It would allow us to charge for content.


    So what if a few forward or cut-n-paste. Besides, we can always sue offenders under the DCMA.

  21. Eh? on DirecTV Can Disable HDTV Reception Remotely · · Score: 3
    Hmm, I need to do some more investigation. Currently I get two channels in HD (1080i) from DirectTV, one HBO and a demo channel that shows other stuff (the Discovery-HD rules!!).


    But, I can get three local channels too: CBS and local weather (oh boy!).


    Having experienced full 1080i I'll never go back to regular TV.


    Even the digital channels on DirecTV blow away a regular TV tube on my 62" HTDV.


    Down with analog TV.


    Unless you have tried it, don't bitch or you'll be a fool.

  25. ROCK SOLID: Re:IBM gets it. on IBM releases JFS to GPL · · Score: 1

    The JFS in AIX is rock solid. I used to work in a hardware lab where we tortured hardware, used to knock AIX to its death many, many, many times a day and the system alwasy booted up. Never lost data. The IBM's AIX JFS dates back to '91. Very mature.

    Who is gonna be first with a good JFS distro (I say SGI)!!

    Now all we need is IBM's LVM from AIX.

    Go IBM.
