  1. Re:Not so much applications as... on BeOS For Linux · · Score: 1

    My tv card (some card in a Toshiba 7200) worked easily in Beos - still doesn't work yet in Linux

  2. Re:Ok, ok. on Microsoft Seeks Dismissal with 9 Dissenting States · · Score: 1

    I was just at a .Net release demo - .net is nice, but they did have to reboot once during the onstage demo!

  3. Ebay on Lawsuit Over Crippled Charley Pride Music Disks Settled · · Score: 0, Troll

    I have to find one of those CDs so I can get in on the payouts too! :)

  4. Re:Constructive dialogs on Walling off Asian E-mail to Prevent Spam · · Score: 1

    I, too, used to get MBs of virus email through an account in Japan; I contacted the user who claimed to be innocent; I even asked him to run a virus checker,etc; it didn't get better, so I contacted the postmaster; they ignored me for awhile until I started forwarding the offending email with headers to them and to the user with the promise of a multiplier effect every week until it is fixed;

    they resolved the issue two days later.

  5. Meaning of 'Dork' on Kathleen Fent Read This Story · · Score: 1

    I wonder if she remembers what one of those is?

  6. Re:ok, let me get this straight... on Concerning The Cancellation of Futurama · · Score: 1

    I am happy that they stuck with "24" even though it may challenge those with short attention spans also;

    I wonder how many DVD's it would take to fit the entire thing on (no commercials except 1 or 2 in the beginning...)

  7. Re:This is cool, not "disturbing"! on Berlin's Robotic Pub · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Local police make link to the site; revenue increases;

  8. ask yahoo.com for help on The Napsterization of TV · · Score: 1

    yahoo.com already has a nice TV schedule; maybe they would make it available to special projects in exchange for ad space;

    on another note, I'm still hoping that a general news site will provide info in RDF so I can download news to my LED sign;

  9. Too bad... on Modern Day Noah's Ark Dying · · Score: 0

    they don't build them like they used to...

    :)

  10. Buy another battery on Free Wireless Networks at Airports · · Score: 1

    or two...

  11. This may not be needed in all locations on Time for a Beer? · · Score: 2, Funny

    In Wisconsin, every other building is a pub; :)

  12. Re:Is that even legal? on California City Issues Internet Cafe Moratorium · · Score: 1

    Even 18 year olds, while technically adults, can't drink.

    People are technically adults at a younger age, but in order to keep as many of these people alive as possible, and more importantly, to keep some of them from hurting older people, certain rules need to be made;

  13. This site will help you find local websites on Browsing Alone · · Score: 1
  14. Re:In the real world... on Cheating Detector from Georgia Tech · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...you would have roommates that wouldn't talk to you anymore :(

  15. Re:Linux on the desktop? on Belgium: A Computer in Every Home · · Score: 1

    If everyone would have the exact same hardware released with a customized distribution (simplified) that would allow for auto-updates, it wouldn't be that bad;

  16. Re:Kudos to China on Can China Pull An India? · · Score: 1

    Also, shouldn't I remember that a major source of hatred and violence is poverty and so by enforcing a situation where my country is richer, I'm only making it more likely that the poor people will try and knock my country down?

    Why is it that people think that the poor need to be bribed not to kill me; I was poor at one time, I didn't steal or kill to improve my situation; I simply worked harder than others had to and things got better;

    One problem is that some people get used to being poor and don't do anything about it as can be seen in any city as people waste time begging for money and food instead of earning it themselves;

    There is a PSA that plays often on TV that stesses the importance of hard work; it would be good if people would pick up values like that instead of wanting everything other people have;

  17. Re:Spam from Korea on Crazy Stats on Spam · · Score: 1

    >> Any suggestions?

    Change your email address and stop looking at Korean porn!

  18. Another solution on Universal to Copyprotect All CDs · · Score: 1

    With all of the people here that agree that copy protection isn't good, the clear answer is to start a new record company that does things the right way - if one person can't do it alone, I know there are enough people with the same interests that could pool resources; i.e., if its broke, fix it yourself; this also applies to books, software, etc;

  19. Re:Doesn't MS lose money on every Xbox? on Strong Hints On Flashing Your Xbox · · Score: 1, Insightful

    We can destroy MS and get a good gaming console out of it at the same time.

    Don't say "We"; I am not in your little "gotta destroy MS" club. I'm just here to read some tech news/etc;

  20. Simple answer: on Good Games For Christmas? · · Score: 1

    Search for SnowCraft at www.download.com

  21. Re:not good...... on Symantec Will Not Detect Magic Lantern · · Score: 1

    The lost credibility idea you present is interesting; now that they are picking and choosing what viruses to alert the customer to, how can we trust that they won't have a corporate "Platinum subscription" where a company can pay them enough money to overlook some uninvited code?

  22. Re:And the surprise is...? on China Shuts Down 17,000 Internet Bars · · Score: 1

    Taking responsibility for ones actions seems much more "moral" to me...

    it looks to me like Catholicism currently fits what you describe and may be worth checking into;

  23. question on BMG Backs Down Over Copy-Protected CD · · Score: 1

    It will make an interesting test case when a punter sues Sony for blowing up their loudspeakers after playing an allegedly pirate CD...

    Why is The Register calling my backups, pirate CDs?

  24. Re:the link on New Star Wars Episode II Trailer Out · · Score: 3, Funny

    http://www.apple.com/trailers/

    For you redundant people.

  25. Re:Shipping Insurance.. on How Not To Ship Computers · · Score: 1

    In the good-old-days, people used to get into trouble for offering protection "services";
