  1. Re:What about the G4s 128 bits? on PPC G5 On The Way -- And Fast · · Score: 0

    actually, the osx benchmark would only work on apple hardware, 'less he wrote the drivers, and otherwise hacked the shit out of it....

  2. Re:Maybe I'm missing something, but... on Spectrum Wars: The Hidden Battle · · Score: 0

    i realize that someone needs to be in charge of this sort of thing, or else chaos will ensue....but how did the government come to "own" the spectrum?

  3. i do on Extreme Telecommuting · · Score: 1

    i am working for a company in reston, VA while i am at school in clemson, SC

  4. Re:No freedom here. on Could Eminent Domain Break The RIAA Stranglehold? · · Score: 1

    not completely sure, but i think the riaa owns the rights to most of the music....

    maybe bands that have already been thru an entire contract would own some of their newer stuff. bands that have been around for a while like ac/dc, metallica, rolling stones, etc. might own the new albums(likely in part) but i think it is pretty standard for the recording company to hold all the rights untill the band has arguing power.

  8. Re:Great Summary on New Mexico Drops out of Microsoft Case · · Score: 1

    yeah, we do bitch a lot, don't we...

    personally, i hate ms because of the blatant arrogance, lack of business ethics, and -having used windows a bit(at least)- their os.

    i have not tried xp, and won't--simply because i refuse to "activate" software that i had to pay an arm and a leg for. actually, if i had to "activate" linux- i'd stop using it, too.

    *bitching continues under breath, turning into a string of curses*

  9. Re:Good, for Napster. on 99% Blockage Isn't Good Enough, Says Napster Judge · · Score: 1

    we have a right to download the music

    ummm.....have you missed the whole damn thing? according the courts, we have no such right. also, according to the courts, the riaa has every right to make us pay for the music.

    there really is no way any service can make 100% stick anyway i think that is the point, they don't like napster and are doing what they can to end it, without blatantly saying, "there is no more napster."

  10. Re:Get them on LOGO on Computer Curriculum for Inner City Kids? · · Score: 1

    i agree, but not everyone has: time; money; influence... despite what they tell you in gov't classes i still don't believe that my senators/reps will listen if i mail them a letter.

    thing is...last weekend each of napster's servers had something like 12,000 individual people download shit, i think that if all of those people contatcted their senators/reps...they would have to listen.
