  1. After M11 on Mozilla Picks Up Third Party IRC and RT Messaging · · Score: 2

    Right after M11 there is a feature freeze. They're working on M10 right now, but there won't be a M10 release. They're going straight into M11.

  2. Not Right on Will Linux have the same fate as Java? · · Score: 1

    Sun recently picked ECMA to be the standards board for Java. And ECMA said anyone can submit to the standard, not just SUn. So really they lost a lot of control.

  3. Re:Cache, not always a good sign on Socket Athlons by early next year? · · Score: 1

    8 MB is a misprint, its very difficult to add cache onto a chip and 8 MB would be crazy.

  4. Re:You know, not to put a twisted spin on it, but. on The Ottoman PC · · Score: 1

    The keyboard comes out, it wireless. The Registry had some pics of the keyboard removed.

  5. Re:Wow... on The Ottoman PC · · Score: 1

    And the iMac and G3 towers aren't ugly. Yeah right. SGIs look good. This looks different. The iBook is neat, but don't try to say the iMac is cool looking.

  6. Re:what is this peice of crap? on The Ottoman PC · · Score: 1

    The keyboard is wireless.

  7. Re:This is best they could do!? on The Ottoman PC · · Score: 1

    So the iMac is just a rehash of the old Apple II and PS/1 computers.

  8. Re:GIFs are so out of date on Unisys Enforcing GIF Patents · · Score: 1

    Turn off JPG compression (depends on your software). i've been doing it for the pass few months and so far the jpg filter hasn't screwed up the image. I use Adobe PhotoDeluxe 1.0 export to jpg with excellent quality. But I think PaintShop and Photoshop do it too, haven't really tried.

  9. He's a Hypocrite on Interview: the "Punk Hacker Kid" Responds · · Score: 1

    RTF is a nice format, hell even txt or html would be better than the ever change word file format.

  10. Re:You might as well forget about your seized PC on FBI Keeps Seized Computers up to Five Years · · Score: 1

    After 3? More like after 18 months.

  11. Burger King on New Ruling Makes Domain Name Theft Harder to Prove · · Score: 1

    So what does Burger king call themselves in Australia?

  12. too different on Apple sues eMachines · · Score: 1

    I think the EOne is different enough that it will be allowed to be sold; however, the other iMac clone looks almost exactly like it. I can't remeber its name but someone will post it.

    But I think the real reason why Apple is doing this is because the pc clones are some much cheaper than the iMac. You can buy 2 or 3 pcs for the price of the mac, plus you can run everything a pc can run.

  13. Re:Cyrix got their revenge on AOL Trademarks nixed · · Score: 1

    I think they kept it the same, maybe the actors pronounced it slightly different.

  14. It happen to Cyrix too on AOL Trademarks nixed · · Score: 1

    Cyrix codenamed one of their processors Jedi and Lucas got really pissed off at that so Cyrix changed it to some desert name. Its a damn codename, its not like the finally product would be called that.

  15. H1-B is a very Abuse visa on H-1B Tech Workers May Be Severely Underpaid · · Score: 1

    While the cap of 115,000 workers being reached in June maybe be shocking most of those are bad claims. 55% of all H1-Bs can not be verified and 21% are fraudulent.

    The high tech industry claims there is a shortage, but there really isn't one. Several companies which have been barred from using H1-Bs and other visa applicants have been able to hire enough people to meet their needs. The problem is that everyone wants to maximize profits and are willing to sacrifice U.S. employees to do it.

    Interesting not the H1-B program was introduced in 1990, shortly after that thousands of employees found themselves without jobs and the economy went into a recission. History has been know to repeat itself.

  16. Re:getting tired already on Review:The Plot to Get Bill Gates · · Score: 1

    But that the thing he didn't do anythign except copy others people work. Mac for years was more easier to use than a Windows 2.0 machine. If Apple wasn't a prick about letting people clone their machines we wopuld probably all be using Apples.

  17. Re:A tidbit from the story, and a comment thereupo on Deep Linking Troubles Continue · · Score: 1

    Actually the very first VCRs could skip over commericals while taping. Ad signals were different from progrma signals at the time, but that was quickly changed. Kinda sad really.

  18. They may be wrong but... on Microsoft and AOL Fight Over Instant Messaging · · Score: 1

    it is AOL's protocal and database so they can do whatever they want. Technicall, yahoo Prodigy and MSN are the technical equivilent to poachers in a private hunting ground. They should work with IETF, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon.

  19. Re:EurekAlert: crackpot journal? on Universal Translators? · · Score: 1

    Un which article are you referring too. Cold Fusion does exist but it doesn't generate more energy than it uses.

  20. Standards Change on How South Park Beat an NC-17 · · Score: 1

    I remember when License to Kill came out it was rated R. A few years later when it came out on tape it was PG-13. Just think in a few more years Sout Park could have that low a rating.

  21. Re:the market for sp movies is low on How South Park Beat an NC-17 · · Score: 1

    South Park is real bi in college. In fact I've never seen/heard anyone under 17 mention it.

  22. Re:Sorry, I still don't get it. on Scott Hacker Responds · · Score: 1

    Linux, to me, is just another OS. I would like to get all excited about it like everyone else, but I just can't. Linux users still hasn't swayed me.

  23. Re:Nonsense on Scott Hacker Responds · · Score: 1

    Actually some of their source code is open. I believe header files and a few other pieces, not demo or examples, are included to help development.

  24. Re:Even though I love unix, I must agree on Metcalfe claims Linux Can't Beat Win2000 · · Score: 1

    I find you comment mildly funny. My mom has a dificult time using windows, someone in my family needs to be with her to help out. My Grandma was an accountant for NY and used some text base OS to do her work. She's got an iMac now and calls regularly for help, many mouse questions.

    So what it all comes down to is that computer people in general know how to use a computer. We take things for grant like GUIs and mice and comman lines. But you give any comput to anyone and you'll see some stupid things done to them. Why do you think its so hard for soo many people to program a VCR which is a lot simpler than a computer?

    Windows belongs to millions of people too, you just can't see the source. The limited developers it has is prone to major problems: going the wrong direction. Windows 95b was the last good Win9x, now Ms embed just about everything minus the kitchen sink into their OS.

  25. Re:But where are Cambridge Display Technology? on New Nano-flat screen technology · · Score: 1

    I belive Apple might be uses a Light Emitting Polymer in its new notebook line, but its just a rumor.
