  1. duplicate: posted as MS and OSS on Microsoft Stoking the IP Fire · · Score: 1

    This must be the follow on to the MS article about playing well with Open Source.

    well done.

  2. Alternate News: Kia passes Mercedes on Windows Bumps Unix as Top Server OS · · Score: 1

    The KIA passed installs over Mercedes proving that KIA is a superior automobile.

    if windows was worth using as a server, you would no need SO MANY to do SO LITTLE

  5. Staying involved = SCO on Microsoft Keeps Eye on Open-Source Prize · · Score: 1, Redundant

    hilarious.

    they only involvement in open source is to kill it, regardless of what the method actually appears to be doing.

  6. no monopoly hurts on PlayStation 3 Delayed, Over $800? · · Score: 1

    Sony, not having a monoply position in anything won't be able to see this for $199 and just eat the loss.

    not that anyone would do that sort of thing

  7. hey CEO, how about Mac's? on Interview with TiVo CEO Tom Rogers · · Score: 1

    good points, I agree.

    but I don't think TiVo will do content over IP until they can figure out a way to exclude non-windows users with a straight face, and then lie to them about future support.

    I understand the CEO uses a Mac? but aparently not TiVo itself or he'd know how pathetic and lame their treatment of mac using customers has been.

    I'm sarcastic, but not bitter, but I do have a comcast DVR box on order as of yesterday. my tivo doesn't do HD, and I won't upgrade it until there is mac support for tivo. tivo will probably just lose me with their indifference to myself, and surely a decently sized section of their existing customer base.

  8. 10 reasons on Ten Reasons to Buy Windows Vista · · Score: 2, Funny

  9. Plenty of time on Domestic Spying Records Ordered Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

  10. Netflix still easier on Cringely on Blockbuster-iPod Video Distro Plan · · Score: 0

    although if I wanted to watch 400 dvd's of cartoons in a month, I suppose they may take issue and throttle me down.

    this iPod idea, while slightly cool in a 2002 world, seems like a hassle of monumental proportions.

    at least that's my $.01

  11. GET royalties? on Apple to 'Switch' to Windows? · · Score: 1

    devils advocate disclaimer aside, manufacturers PAY microsoft royalties for windows not vice-versa.

    like MS is gonna PAY apple to include windows on a mac.

    look behind this story and you will find MS. this is THEIR version of the "switch" campaign

  13. they all owe me royalties on Americans Using Internet 'Just for Fun' · · Score: 1

    I was using the net "for fun" back in 1994.

    if the rest of you don't either stop, or pay up, I will be required to demand that you stop.

    and for those that were using it before 94. my later usage wins anyway, deal with it.

  17. wrong! on No Time Travel, Sorry · · Score: 1

    this is bogus, the Starship Enterprise will time travel many times in the future.

  18. Super Bowl Reviews on The World's Fastest Image Processor · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I suspect the Seahawks get an extra touchdown, and the Steelers lose a touchdown if this was in place last sunday.

  21. DB2 is SOLID on IBM Sets DB2 Database Free (Beer) · · Score: 2, Informative

    May not be as light as MySQL, nor the darling of the open source community.

    But don't kid yourself into thinking DB2 is nothing less that what it is. a ROCK SOLID, HIGHLY SCALABLE, MATURE database.

    how useful all the additional features might be to the average PHP developer is certainly questionalble, but for the serious developer looking to do serious work, this is an excellent addition to the available toolkit.

      this is good news indeed, thank you IBM.

  22. brain scans save republic on Brain Scans to Identify Liars? · · Score: 1

    wow, we just hook these up to all members of congress and the executuve branch and we'll have honest government in no time flat.

    you don't see him foisting windows on his customers do you?

  24. can they eat them? on U.N. Lends Backing to the $100 Laptop · · Score: 1

    sheesh, the UN is worried about LAPTOPS?

    starvation, genocide, nukes in the hands of feeble lunatics

    seems the people need food, guns and intervention to deal with these issues, unless the laptops are made of nutritious parts, that can also be configured into a weapon.

    so what is the UN insiders "cut" of these "$100" laptops?

  25. share this on Making Files Available Breaking the Law? · · Score: 1

    here are some free files. help yourself

    http://web1.nugs.net/stash.asp?cmd=dl&artist=-1

    because SURELY those that CREATE the files have no rights to them
