  5. Sue the MAFIAA! on RIAA Wants Student Deposed On School Day · · Score: 1

    After the (R|M)IAA get their money, do they give some to Wal-Mart, BMG, K-Mart, iTunes, etc...??

    They sue to "get the money they are rightly owed", but any retailer will make a profit off each
    sale that "should have happened" too. So the MAFIAA get their money and the retailers are screwed.

    I have a solution, a class action lawsuit on behalf of all the retailers that the MAFIAA is
    ripping off. Let the courts pound on them for a while. And while they're at it, give 'em a one
    day warning. :o)

  7. Re:Where's the Linux version? on Google Desktop for Mac Released · · Score: 1

    > then add frontends to it (CLI, GNOME/GTK, KDE/Qt).

    You missed the obvious one tho, HTTP. We already
    know that Google can write HTML and webservers,
    so why not write a daemon that can serve up
    searches via http://127.0.0.1/google/ ?

    >> ...and we see why Linux is a great server
    >> platform, but a lousy desktop platform
    >> because it's not standardized in the same way.

    > Same ol' trolling...

    ditto.

  11. Pot calling the Kettle .... on FCC Meets To Investigate Cookie Abuse · · Score: 1

    Anyone else browsing in "ask to set cookie mode"?

    If you are then you noticed that bizweek tried to set 5 cookies ... 'black!'

    I *DO* use opera in ask for cookies. I then accept domain wide cookies for my bank, credit card companies, mail servers, etc...

    PLEASE, oh PLEASE do cut down on cookies. If I want to check out your latest reciepe for "Duck A L'Orange", I HARDLY need you to send me a cookie.

    Note: the Duck a L'Orange and Cookie reciepe pun was just now noticed and not intentional :-D

  12. Web server ... on Intel Releases 4004 Microprocessor Schematics · · Score: 1

  13. Re:When your only tool is a hammer on Google Envisions Free Cell Phones For All · · Score: 1

    Good thing the only tool they have isn't a screwdriver, cuz then they'd be trying to screw us all the time ... hmmm maybe they DO have a screwdriver after all.

  14. I want MDI! on Firefox 2 Launch - Interview With Chris Beard · · Score: 1

    One of the things that keeps me using Opera is its MDI. I resize *pages* a lot and I dont want to resize my *window* in FF to get the same thing.

    There are some sites where the content is just way too wide. I could just close the page and move on, but sometimes the content is worth putting up with bad design. I just resize the page.

    Plus, sometimes I turn off author mode stylesheet. This usually turns off their formatting and the text wraps to the screen. And I resize the page. (notice the recurring theme?)

    Sadly FF does not do MDI. Why?

  15. ecommerce ... what about Paul Graham on 15 Websites That Changed the World · · Score: 1

    Paul was arguably the creator of ecommerce. This is a great read http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html/.

    CBS: "Woops, you know that G.W. Bush story we reported ... we were just talking out our a$$!"

    David Letterman did a fake promo for CBS news:
    "Tonight we will air 9 real stories and 1
    fake 1. Can you tell the difference?"

    LOL.

  17. Gentoo rocks! on Putting Novell's SuSE Purchase In Perspective · · Score: 1

    No RPMs, just hours and days of your CPU pegging out on cc processes.

    Despite the long setup, it is really easy to install new packages. They've really got a slick system going.

    You can generate a bloated system with crap you'll never use ... like most distros do. Or you can "emerge" a lean clean rockin machine.

    I hope Gentoo is around for years.
