  1. Don't know what Bill's thinking, but on Bill Gates: Windows Patched Faster than Linux · · Score: 1

    even at the patch rate he quotes, it would take many years for MS to patch a significant percentage of the bugs in Windows.

    With all the bugs Bill doesn't think are important, I don't know why he's suddenly bragging about how fast he thinks they can patch them.

  2. Go ahead, SCO, hold your breath till... on SCO Backing Off Linux Invoice Plan · · Score: 1

    ...your face turns blue. You're gonna die because nobody cares.

    Bite me. The posted link didn't work when I tried it.

  7. HP 49G+ on Recommendations for RPN Calculators? · · Score: 1
    Just shown at HHC 2003 by HP this past weekend in Newport Beach, Calif.

    I read about one vendor that was expecting a shipment of them to arrive today, even though official intro date is October 6th.

    There's also the HP 48GII and the HP 33S.

    Details on all three machines here.

  8. Reminds me of Ralph Kramden on the Honeymooners on Smart Sofa Recognizes Occupants by Weight · · Score: 1

    learning to play golf:
    Step up, plant your feet firmly on the ground, and address the ball. Hellooo, ball!

    Fast forward to the weight sensing couch:
    Hellooo, Ralphy boy!

  9. Has it occurred to anyone else that on SCO Run-Time Licenses: Get 'em While They're Hot! · · Score: 1

    SCO might try to sue the city they're in (Lindon, Utah) for use of part of the name Linux? Maybe they should change the name to Scodon just to piss 'em off.

  10. Freedom... on Microsoft Settles Be Antitrust Suit for $23.25M · · Score: 5, Funny

    Microsoft calls it 'Freedom to Innovate', everybody else calls it 'Freedom to Violate'.

  11. This reminds me of the movie 'The Fly' on Cloning Yields Human-Rabbit Hybrid Embryo · · Score: 1

    with Jeff Goldblum...pretty creepy!

  12. This just in... on Consumer Reports Discovers Tech Support Sucks · · Score: 1

    Microsoft Windows has been known to crash occasionally. Film at 11.

  13. About Larry... on Oracle's Infrastructure Now Fully Linux-ized · · Score: 2, Funny

    I never thought I'd have something to like about Larry Ellison. Maybe there's a ray of hope for him. On second thought, nah, forget I said that.

  14. Very interesting on HP Ditching WindowsCE for Linux on Jornada? · · Score: 1

    Less than 3 weeks ago HP cancelled the Xpander that ran WinCE. Linux is popular in the HP handheld user community, so if they put a good interface on it, it could be a big hit. PalmOS if combined with a thorough emulation of classic RPN calculators, programmable preferred, could be pretty neat. None of the RPN calculator software packages out there have got it right yet, as far as I can tell. They either screw up stack lift enable/disable, have missing functions or misguided layouts, or aren't programmable. I'd like to set aside my HP-41/42/48 or whatever and use one machine. Let's hope HP gets it right this time. If it runs Linux I've got my credit card ready.
