  1. For GVSU ... on What Kind Of Computer To Bring To College? · · Score: 5, Informative

    A Palm m125, a lighter and a Wi-Fi capable laptop seems sufficient enough for most students I know.

  2. Audience Measuring Tool on TiVo To Sell Customer Data · · Score: 1

    And at the same time they release this.

  3. From the article ... on Supercomputing: Raw Power vs. Massive Storage · · Score: 1

    "But the Beowulf is a Volkswagen and these people are selling trucks."

    What a great quote!

  4. Let me be the first to say ... on First Look at YellowTAB's Zeta · · Score: -1, Troll

    YellowTAB is dying...

  5. Re:MB on New Palms: Zire 71 and Tungsten C · · Score: 1

    Ok ... that is great and wonderful and I think you missed my point ... although, I wasn't real specific. Why not have an internal SD card? Hell, they don't even have to call it that. They could just say 256MB built-in! I am not looking for 256MB RAM ... 16MB RAM and 256MB internal would be just fine. Just give me something STOCK AND ALREADY BUILT-IN that I don't have to add-in to throw a couple of CD's worth of MP3's on.

  6. MB on New Palms: Zire 71 and Tungsten C · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Granted, I could add an SD or MMC card but really ... 16MB is pretty weak. I would like to see Palm at least have 256MB on board, especially if I am going to use this for any type of music or video!

    $300 better spent on a 5GB iPod. I can use my phone for PDA functions.

    PS. I have and use a Palm m125.

  7. Simpsons? on T-Shirt Cannon · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The only thing these cannons are good for is knocking neighbors wifes out of the stands at a local racing venue!

  8. From my experience... on The Executive's Guide to Information Technology · · Score: 1

    the only good IT exec is a geek/techie IT exec.

  9. Oh no ... on US & Russia Pencil in Mars Launch by 2018 · · Score: 1, Funny

    "(Sounds like a good reality TV show to me.)"

    NO! Don't give FOX any more ideas!! I don't want to see 500 days of fake drama!

  10. Overclocking on Intel's Anti-Overclocking Technology Simplified · · Score: 0, Troll

    Overclocking is just good 'ol fun.

  11. Right. on Have You Really Read Your ISP's TOS? · · Score: 1

    I used to work for an ISP and even then I didn't know the TOS!

  12. Well ... on Yet Another Perl Conference - Israel · · Score: 2

    Israel may be interesting however I think the one in Boca Raton, FL will be my preferred venue!

  13. Re:Other Versions? on Senator Calls For Copy-Protection Tags · · Score: 1

    No, I think you are exactly right on ... next time I will include a dripping sarcasm tag in my post. ;)

    This legislation is a good idea ... but it still doesn't address the issue of copy-protection or my ability to make a backup copy of something I purchase.

  14. Other Versions? on Senator Calls For Copy-Protection Tags · · Score: 1

    So, as with the explicit/non-explicit choice ... will we have a copy-protection/non-copy-protection choice? That is what I would want!

  15. FD and Bugtraq on Hacker Leaks Unreleased CERT Reports · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you enjoy Bugtraq and can put up with the occasional flame war ... FD is an awesome list. FD Charter

  16. Dreamcatcher on New Animatrix Trailer Available · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Just a random FYI ...

    The Matrix: Reloaded has a teaser in front of Dreamcatcher ... one I had not seen prior to tonight.

  17. Free? on HP To Sell And Support Red Hat Linux · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So what price will we _pay_ for finally seeing a large consumer desktop/server seller (HP) support and sell _free_ software?

  18. Re:Area on Live Vorbis Streams Over 802.11b From SXSW.com · · Score: 1

    Ah. Thank you. I read a couple of things incorrectly. I am still happy with my in-dash MP3 player though ;)

  19. Area on Live Vorbis Streams Over 802.11b From SXSW.com · · Score: 0

    With the limited range of WiFi 802.11b does this really matter that much? I prefer my own mix from my in-dash MP3 player!

  20. Re:ya well no fine on Smart Gun with Minicam and Biometric Access · · Score: 1

    I would have said "Canadian", eh. But then again ... anything that is incomprehensible I call "Canadian"!

  21. Thinkgeek? on Smart Gun with Minicam and Biometric Access · · Score: 5, Funny

    What I want to know is when Thinkgeek will be carrying these ... any bets?

  22. Re:Problems? on Problems in Computer Conservation · · Score: 0

    *cough*E-Machine*cough*

  23. Problems? on Problems in Computer Conservation · · Score: 0

    If they think they have problems now wait until the current production is 20+ years old ... THEN there will be problems!

  24. Corporate on Red Hat Announces Enterprise Linux · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Maybe THIS will convince my boss to move to Linux (RHWS) on our desktop systems.

  25. Napster. on P2P Services Speak Out Against Gnutella2 · · Score: 0, Funny

    I just want Napster back.
