  1. Re:What about ATMs? on OS/2 Going, Going... Gone · · Score: 2

    Actually, NT3.51 (SP5) had a reputation for being the MOST rock solid product MS ever released.

  2. Re:Reschedule please... on Windows Refund Day II · · Score: 2

    Did the same thing. I kept the 5.25 floppy, though... it allows me to maintain the fiction (to my wife) that I'm still upgrading the original machine.

  3. Re:Reminds me of Taiwanese vinyl on Psst! Eight Bits Gets You "The Two Towers" In China · · Score: 2

    There was a lot of music swapping between GI's going on back then.

    DISCLAIMER: I do not believe the US Army are terrorists. I used to work for a DoD contractor, and as anyone who has read my posts know, believe that the US Army is a good organization.

  5. Re:Irix, Win95+ & MacOS used to make Everythin on Linux Used To Make "Star Trek, Nemesis" · · Score: 2

    Well, Seeing as STII came out in 1982, I'd have to guess that it wasn't made using Linux...

  7. Re:"Alternative Business Model"? Bah. on Cable Companies Despise PVRs · · Score: 2

    I suggested that consumers pay 1 cent per commercial skipped

    I got up to go to the bathroom during last night's episode of "The Practice". Where do I send my 6 cents (I'm assuming 6 commercials per break)?

    Oh, and for the sarcasm impaired, that was sarcasm.

  8. Re:Here's the thing... on Karl Auerbach Speaks Out on ICANN · · Score: 2

    Maybe, but then they'd accomplish even less than they do now.

    And exactly how would this be a bad thing?

  9. Re:Download WHAT??? on More File Sharing Misadventures in Court · · Score: 2

    At least these guys are upfront about what they're after... CA$H.

    Either Today or the LA's Channel 4 news (can't remember which) did an interview with them. And the guy who wrote songs for the Supremes (as in Diana Ross, not the court:-P) did a bit of his song as follows:

    "Stop in the name of Law, before you break my ... bank!"

  10. Re:Rackspace on How Much Do You Pay to Host Your Website? · · Score: 4, Informative
