  1. Re:Are you Steve Jobs? on Time Canada Shows New iMac · · Score: 1

    Apple Legal is not dumb enough to take on the AOL Time Warner conglomerate. This is suprising that it leaked, but its 1 day early. In the grand scheme of things, who cares?

    I bet someone goofed, and it really wont mean much. Lets see what other rabbits Steve is going to pull out of his hat. Maybe an Apple palm pilot?
    The iPalm? Or how about an iPod that is matte black instead of that grey-graphite color they use...I think a Black with blue iPod would look a heck of a lot cooler..Oh, and lower the price on the thing by 100 dollars and get it PC compatible. If Apple is going to go head to head with Sony, they have to have realistic prices.

  2. Re:The judge gave us an answer. on Felten vs. RIAA Hearing · · Score: 1

    If OJ were convicted in a Brentwood-Area courtroom instead of Downtown Los Angeles, hed be better off being judged by his peers. Then OJ would be in jail. Putting him downtown with a jury of poor black people is a surefire way of making sure that he wont be convicted. OJ's lawyers made it a race issue, and they found him innocent. That trial should never of had been on TV. What a fucking mess. My kids will ask: What do you remember about the OJ trial? What can i tell them?

    This country is going downhill

  3. Re:eyepatch department? on Kazaa to be shut down? · · Score: 1

    heck no man, the lawyers have a lot of people to sue. first sue kazaa/morpheus/grokster. then their isps. then the power companies. then the people who wrote the internet protocols. they should sue anyone who even utters a peep of thought about downloading an mp3. its simply a dirty word. i guess next that we are going to have a demolition man type future where wed be fined for swearing.

    we all should abandon our culture to the lords of the american entertainment companies. they after all, know what is best. so we shoud listen to the culturally and morally bankrupt music that tommy mottolla of sony and the men that run pop record company "jive records" send us. after all , how can we refuse to listen to britney spears and n'sync? what is so bad about those two actz selling us sex and telling us to dress and act like them? after all, motolla, jive, and their pet bitch hilary rosen know whats best for us. they really do. its in (their commercial) our best interest to let them decide what is good for our culture. we are all dumb sheep, and they are our shepherds. we are all stupid by nature and should look for them for "wisdom"

    the MTV music video awards are always where this crap hits the boiling point.

    we need to take back pop culture from these fiends. dont buy any of their products. if we dont give them money they cant sell us shit.
    the US govermentment needs to have limits on lobbying so that shit like the DMCA can be out of the books. clear channel radio networks needs to be broken up as well. they control the majority of radio stations in the country. they decide what goes on the radio, and its all corporate pop rock. land of the free and home of the brave? my ass. land of whoever can pay for it.

    in honor of george harrison, im listening to the beatles all day.

  4. This wont work. on Enhanced Carnivore To Crack Encryption Via Virus · · Score: 1

    Common sense with computers.

    All sensitive Data is to be stored on a computer not connected to any kind of network. The files must be encrypted several times and make sure that the disk is secured.

    This is only a reason for more people to use linux. I bet microsoft, symantec, and zone labs are all in bed with the government about allowing backdoors into NAV, ZoneAlarm, and Windows XP.
    Scary huh? This is doing more to support linux than any other thing i've heard

  5. Re:Same anecdotal evidence here on InfoWorld says WinXP much slower than Win2K · · Score: 3, Informative

    I have XP Pro and 2K Pro on my computer. p3 450, 384 megs of PC 133 ram, XP on my 8 gig fujitisu ata 66 5400 (i think) rpm hd, and 2000 on my 20 gig ata 100 hd. Graphics card is a NVidia GeForce2MX. Mobo is an intel sx440bx.

    Bottom line: With all the fancy graphics and blending and other UI "enhancements", Windows XP is slower than 2000. When i take all the UI enhancements off XP and get it similar to 2000, XP is at least as fast, if not faster thatn 2000. Come on, Microsoft has had from feb 2000 to August 2001 to speed up the code!

    I like the addidional drivers, things just work. I dont like the rampant ads for .net and windows media player. Netscape 6.2 is blazing fast!
    Activation: It sucks. find a way to negate it.

    I needed a new driver for my creative soundblaster soundcard. out now. Most things will have good drivers. I just wish Windows XP could be slimmed down to get rid of the fluff.

    Overall, great os.

  6. Re:Artists' choice on CD Copy Protection Head Speaks · · Score: 1

    Excellent idea! Im sick and tired of reading about these record industries shooting their mouths off about money being lost? Care to back it up Hilary Rosen? If they wanna get into a fight about consumers about piracy, they should look at DIVX. It failed miserably. They have to justify what they are doing to us because we pay the bills
