  1. Repeat on HD Video From the Edge of Space, On the Cheap · · Score: -1, Troll

    Repeat

  2. Re:You are Micro Focus on Borland Being Purchased By Micro Focus · · Score: 1

    I can attest to this. Our ERP, Lawson, is written in MicroFocus COBOL. We run it on Solaris. Works great.

    The PC guys across the street probably think we're using some shiney Windows app over here.

    AND we just upgraded the mainframe! Woot!

  3. Re:there's plenty of address space on IPv4 Address Use In 2008 · · Score: 1, Troll

    Doesn't this just prove the point? Do you really want 5000+ internal hosts on a hospital network to be directly accessible from the Internet?

    It seems in your case you should only require routeable addresses for your external servers, firewall, vpn, etc. and let everything else live on the inside.

    So if you're ordering up all of these circuits please do us all a favor and don't even ask for more addresses than you actually need. Thank you very much.

  4. No! on How Nvidia Wants To Bring 3D Glasses Back · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Speaking as a person who has vision in only one eye, I say NO!

    Come up with a way to wire 3d images directly to my brain.

    It'd be pretty cool to see what most of you folks see everyday.

  5. Re:Perfect on Asus Confirms Specs, Price of Eee PC 904 and 1000 · · Score: 1

    I wish I could mod you insightful.

  6. Re:Perfect on Asus Confirms Specs, Price of Eee PC 904 and 1000 · · Score: 3, Informative

    I'm sure the 40Gb SSD is much more expensive than the 80Gb HDD.

    SSD is a premium. No sound, less heat, faster boots, longer battery life.

  7. Thanks on Stallman Attacks Gates, Microsoft, & Charity Foundation · · Score: 1

    I just want to say thanks to Bill and Melinda for giving me BBC all night. Keep it up!

  8. TMTOWTDI on Command Line Life Partner Wanted · · Score: 1

    for i in `find ${SOMEPATH} -f`; do grep -i $i; done;

  9. RAID on Forensic Computer Targets Digital Crime · · Score: 1

    So how would they deal with folks who have their data on RAID?

  10. That headline scares me on Mozilla Quietly Resurrects Eudora · · Score: 1

    My house is a block away from where Eudora Welty lived her life and died about three years ago. Now I've got to worry about freakin' resurrected zombies! Great.

    It came from her short story "Why I Live at the P.O."

  11. Re:Should sell well on OLPC Manufacturer to Sell $200 Laptop On Open Market · · Score: 1

    I have a Tandy WP-2 word processor sitting right next to me. I use it for taking notes at meetings, etc. Light, simple, and runs on AA batteries.

    Now if I could only figure out how to get vim on there.

  12. I just had to on Commodore Returns with New Gaming PCs · · Score: 2, Funny

    I just had to post to make sure my sig got into this discussion.

  13. Re:How is this better than.... on Sling Streams iTunes Content To TV · · Score: 1

    No HDMI output would be a show stopper for me.

  14. vim? on The Birth of vi · · Score: 1

    Has Bill Joy spoken about his feelings towards vim anywhere?

  15. Re:Women do not like them on Wal-Mart Is Pushing Compact Fluorescent Bulbs · · Score: 1

    Can't they just put an amber coating on the outside of the glass to produce a more pleasant glow?

  16. What about the frickin' lasers? on Plasma or LCD? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What happened to the promise of a cheap laser TV? Is this still in the works?

  17. Re:Ban bad thoughts too on UK Wants To Ban Computer-Generated Child Porn · · Score: 1

    Simple solution, then. The images have to have been generated at least 18 years before release.

  18. Re:What! on zCodec Video Codec Is a Trojan · · Score: 1

    Everyone knows zCodec is 4 better than vCodec. Geez.

  19. Re:Macros on What's in Your HTML Toolbox? · · Score: 1

    If I need to repeat a macro over a number of lines, I record the macro with qq, visually select the lines and hit @. No need to count the number of lines to do the old 12@ way.

    Put this in your .vimrc :vnoremap @ :normal @q

  20. Simple question on What Could YouTube Be Worth? · · Score: 1

    How does YouTube make money or plan on making money?

  21. Google Maps on Domesday Book Goes Online · · Score: 1

    So have the properties been encoded for Google maps yet?

  22. Re:What a load... on Novell CEO Shakeup Puts Ron Hovsepian in Charge · · Score: 1

    Certainly it can. The OS is a commodity. It's the custom features and tools that Novell can supply running on top of that OS on the server side that is the selling point. On the user side they can develop an enjoyable experience that anyone can use but is enhanced if the organization is running their server software.

    Why spend their time and money keeping up their own OS when they can use Linux and devote their time to other development?

  23. Firefox with extensions on Firefox 2 Alpha 2 Reviewed · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Just about everything in the review is available now, and has been for quite awhile, through extensions?

    It seems that future development of firefox should be on the core application and let the extension developers handle the pretty stuff.

  24. Maxtor is after the lucrative prOn market on Flurry of Hard Drive Reviews · · Score: 1

    Maxtor MaXLine III (300 GB)

    High-fapacity competing enterprise unit (100 GB/platter)

  25. Re:Raised Floors? on New Data Center Standard · · Score: 1

    You must not work in a large data center.

    I can't imagine what our server farm would look like if we didn't have a raised floor for routing cables, fibre, air, etc. Do you have any idea how much heat a rack of 1U servers can put off?
