  1. [OT] Monochrome on 802.11b Cards for Handhelds? · · Score: 1

    Just curious, why would you only want a monochrome. Seems to me if there was a choice between color and monochrome most people would choose color. Not much of a demand for B&W TVs now a days

  2. Re:Special Chars don't work on Teoma Aims To Kill Google · · Score: 1

    right, but no one writes it like that

  3. Special Chars don't work on Teoma Aims To Kill Google · · Score: 1

    Do a search for C# and get pages on C++ and C, google used to have this problem. Not a huge deal, just being picky

  4. Re:Here's an idea on Every Road a Toll Road · · Score: 1

    First of all this isn't in the US so the our military budget has nothing to do with this. Here are some other ideas though. We could get rid of the federally funded schools privatize all schools since right now there doing a pretty shitty job. How about quit giving food stamps to illegal immigrants.

  5. For those who don't know on Contacting Network Admins Of Large Internet Companies? · · Score: 1

    Here is the gest of a call I once had with @home tech support

    support: Thank for calling @home tech suport, how can I help you?

    support: I don't know, what is the address your trying to get to?

    me: irc.home.com

    support: Your typing irc.home.com in your web browser, let me try?

    me: Do you know what IRC is?

    support: Oh I'm sorry, you mean the little flower down in the corner by your clock?

    me: Can I be passed up to "Level 2"?

    support: I can't do that, and we don't support IRC?

    me: IRC is not the flower, in the corner it's YOUR chat server.

    suport: Can you hold?

    me: ON HOLD ALREADY ok

    support: (new guy Level two I think) Hi this is XXX what seem to be the problem.

    me: your IRC server is down

    support: We don't have an IRC server

    me: irc.home.com, if it were up you could ping it.

    support: That must be some one running an unauthroized server, we'll report them to the abuse depart me.

  10. Mom will be proud on Trailer For First Person Shooter Documentary · · Score: 5

    A documentary of me sitting around in my underware, yelling at the computer monitor, I always new I'd make it to the big time.

  11. Of course they want a "rubber stamp" on Carnivore Comes Up Hungry · · Score: 4

    A lot of people are probably going to accuse me of being paranoid here but... I'm sure the government would like nothing more than a big university like MIT to say carnivore is okay. It's part of a propaganda war. Those who are then less educated or lazy will just think the government isn't spying on me, the folks at MIT even said so, and the as a whole Americans give up another bit of privacy. If the government was truly interested in letting the American people know carnivore was about they would open source it. What do they have to loose? There not going to sell the code to carnivore or are they. They want to assure the American public their privacy isn't being violated, don't they? If carnivore is truly what they say it is, let everyone look, not just the "elite" at a university.

  12. In other news.... on Corel To Launch Linux PCs With Intel · · Score: 2

    A US postal service employee was involved in a shooting rampage today, reports quote him as saying "These net appliances are just to damn big to put in every mailbox", referring to AOL new mass marketing program where 500billon of the devices have been mailed out to everyone in the states.

  15. Re:Or Maybe! on Linux Handwriting Recognition · · Score: 1

    Imagine, if you will, Voice recognition software that transcribes words into your own handwriting!
    That's a bad idea, I can hardly read my own hand writing. How about it transcribes to my wife hand writing instead?

  16. Linux needs AOL and the bunch on "What is Linux Missing?" · · Score: 2

    I personally would never use an ISP like AOL or MSN, but I know a lot of people who do. These people know that there are better service out there, but they don't care. They use AOL because it's simple, or because they like the "You got mail" guy. For Linux to break into the mainstream desktop market we will have to see big ISP provide their software for Linux.

    Al Gore brought us the internet, he must be made to pay, I think the RIAA should sue him too after all what network does napster use. If Mr. Gore isn't responsible for this then I don't know who would be.
