  1. Re:As a record store owner.... on File-Sharing Ethics Taught In Classrooms? · · Score: 1

    Wow, I didn't know John Ashcroft owned a record store as well as have a recording career while still having the time to be our Attorney General! Good for you John.

  2. She should get good money for it on Ebay. on Apple Releases Darwin 6.7, 6.8 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    How much could she get for her Dell in a couple of years?

  3. According to Mi2G website... on Linux Most Attacked Server? · · Score: 1

    Windows servers were most attacked last year. And they said this as to why Linux servers were getting hacked:

    "The sudden rise in attacks on systems running Linux earlier this year was due to several easily exploitable vulnerabilities being uncovered in open source third party applications such as PHP scripts and bulletin boards. Bad or default configuration of Linux and the applications running on it were also determining factors for the success of the overt attacks."

    So it looks like it isn't the Linux kernel thats exploited. Its those poorly written PHP scripts running on Apache.

  4. Apple should donate a computer to her on RIAA Settles With 12-Year-Old Downloader · · Score: 1

    Then she could legally download music through iTunes.

    I for one am willing to donate $10 to her as well.

  5. The money came from a grant on Virginia Tech Announces Supercomputer Plans · · Score: 1

    The alumni have other causes to spend their money on, like renovations to the football stadium.

  6. MPlayer 1.0? I'm running 2.0 on my iBook on MPlayer 1.0Pre1 Is Here · · Score: 1

    Then why on my iBook does the About MPlayer window list the version as MPlayer OS X version 2 (v2.0b5)?

  7. You must have had the same one I did on New Dell Clickthrough Software License · · Score: 1

    I spent 2 hours on the phone trying to tell the rep I had a dead motherboard. But he had to go through his list of questions before issuing a service call.

  8. Where do you work? on PostgreSQL Inc. Open Sources Replication Solution · · Score: 1

    I work for the City of Newport News, Va. We're using PostgreSQL for some stuff here and getting ready to use it for some high profile application. Unfortunately, we're using SQL Server along with Laser Fiche. Did you guys write your own imaging software?

  9. Re:all about the OS on Apple Issues New G5 Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    The benchmarks Apple used in June had dual Xeons running Red Hat Linux.

  10. Get the Ph.D. for yourself on Ph.Ds in IT - Good or Bad for a Career? · · Score: 1

    I don't think it will make much of a difference in the job market, so do it for yourself.

  11. Mix some rabbit dna with beautiful women dna on Cloning Yields Human-Rabbit Hybrid Embryo · · Score: 1

    And what do you get? Beautiful women that fuck like rabbits!

    Count me in.

  12. Re:seriously screwed up action on Linking Dangerously · · Score: 1

    If left-wingers are the ones advocating the overthrow of the government, then are you saying that liberals are responsible for our independence from Great Britain?

    There's many more "right-wing" websites that promote violence than "left-wing". Militia groups are far right-wing just in case you didn't know.

    You have really jumped on this conservative bandwagon that labels anyone a liberal who speaks out against our government.

  13. They should know! on HomeSec Warns Again About Microsoft's Insecurity · · Score: 3, Funny

    After all, they're giving Microsoft $90 million to run their computers.

  14. Never happen on (Solar) Power to the Masses · · Score: 1

    Just wait until the oil companies catch wind of this. They'll buy up all the patents just like they've done with previous solar technology.

  15. What about Microsoft products? on Gartner Says Delay Linux Deployment Due to SCO · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Microsoft has just been successfully sued by InterTrust over patent violations in their line of products. InterTrust claims that 85% of Microsoft's products are involved. Read about it here.

  16. Re:There's nothing wrong here. on Verizon Permitted to Default on PA Broadband Deal · · Score: 1

    Dude, I'm not trolling. I'm just telling it like it is. BTW, I'm from Virginia.

  17. There's nothing wrong here. on Verizon Permitted to Default on PA Broadband Deal · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    As long as these state representatives didn't receive blowjobs from interns, they will be forgiven.

    Gotta love what is considered moral and immoral in the good 'ol USA.

  18. Re:Forward live broacasts!? on Cable Boxes With DVD, MP3, Networking · · Score: 1

    I'm waiting for that myself. Then I could fast forward through a game and find the outcome and place my bet before the game is actually over! Time travel with a TiVo!

  19. Re:This is really great on OpenOffice 1.1 RC 1 Released · · Score: 1

    You've got to remember that Microsoft probably put 1000 developers on Office. How many does Open Office have?

    You also have to remember where Star Office was a few years ago.

  20. Re:That's not true on Online Voting In 2004 To Require Windows · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And if Libertarians had their way, we'd be driving on toll roads owned by and going to state parks owned and operated by Georgia-Pacific lumber company. Plus we'd all be out of jobs, because the major corporations would move everything overseas due to the lack of gov't interference in business.

    Liberalism, Conservatism, and Libertarianism all have their strengths and weaknesses. Give me a party that believes in protecting the environment, promotes competition amongst businesses by not allowing them to buy each other up, stays out of my personal life, and puts the rights and liberties of citizens ahead of big business. One that believes children are this country's most valuable asset and that all citizens have a right to medical coverage.

  21. Re:That's not true on Online Voting In 2004 To Require Windows · · Score: 1

    And the conservatives are doing a damn fine job of keeping the gov't out of our lives. i.e. The Patriot Act.

  22. I'm still looking for a way to hack a Series 2 on Pioneer To Release TiVo/DVD Burner Combo · · Score: 1

    It sucks not being able to save a recorded show. I've even tried hooking up my video camera to the TiVo but the picture is scrambled on my video camera. I haven't figured that one out yet.

  23. If it does, Apple is dead on Jaguar is Over · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    They've been saying that they won't be like Microsoft but if they go that route, I won't buy anything else from them again.

  24. So much for increasing market share! on Jaguar is Over · · Score: 1

    I love Apple Computers. I'm typing this on an iBook, but they need to get over this "superior computer" mentality and come back down to reality. When the computer costs twice as much as the competition, it just isn't going to sell to anyone other than the Apple faithful who would spend $5000 if Jobs told them to.

  25. Let me be the first to say... on Jaguar is Over · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What about an upgrade price for Panther? I just spent $129 last fall for Jaguar.
