  1. first post on Free & Non-Free Documentation · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    sorry, i just had to

  2. i don't think they get the point on Maine buys 38,600 ibooks for Public Schools · · Score: 1

    it would be really cool if i were in middle school and they gave me an ibook, but i don' tthink they are getting the point

    as many people have said already, many students will look for pr0n and play games. but that might have a reason they chose macs: less, harder-to-find games. that still does not eliminate junior high schoolers talking on IM all day

  3. i may be stating the obvious on U.S. Court Ruling Nixes EULA Sales Restrictions · · Score: 1

    if you selll the software to someone else, you aren't the end user anymore, but instead a middle man. therefore, the eula doesn't apply to you

  4. who would want this? on Cable Co's Want More Control Over Your Network · · Score: 1

    hmm... let's look at my, the customer's choices

    keep using my linksys' nat; screw the cable company

    pay an extra $5 a month for the same thing

    the choice is obvious

  5. Re:new email on Excite Could Go Dark On Friday · · Score: 1

    i agree with methuseus, yahoo mail is far superior to hotmail. one o fthe best parts it that you get pop access, so it doesn't take foever to read your mail

  6. Re:Copy Protectoin only affect windows? on More Copy Protected CDs? · · Score: 1

    the discontinued, but great soundjam mp (which itunes is based on) had an option to enable "CD Digital Audio Playback". if you unchecked that option in the preferences, it should rip

  7. Re:What about limitations by the ISP? on Responsible Wireless Access For Your Access Point · · Score: 1

    try looking up the MAC address of the original computer you set up your broadband with and put that in the MAC address spoofer on the linksys setup page

  8. Re:Hysteria on EFF To Defend Music Swapping Service MusicCity · · Score: 1

    maybe the ISP's aren't cutting off their users, cuz they are paying for internet access so they can dl music. pretty easy decision for them: more money or less money.

  9. Re:Doesn't seems like a bad deal after all on The Guts Of An iPod · · Score: 1

    quicktime is not free, it's $30

  10. Re:I'll wait for Apple's iDeck on HP's Digital-Audio Entertainment Box · · Score: 1

    if you have a dv camera, it's easier. hook up the RCA (or s-video) out on your tv/vcr/dvd to the corresponding port on you dv cam. put it in vcr mode. plug it into your mac with a firewire cable. open imovie. press import (and play on vcr/dvd) and you're recording

  11. Re:From the FAQ (a hacking possibility...) on Slashback: Drives, Pods, OEMs · · Score: 1

    they're probably not adding ogg support yet because it is not officialy finished, like mp3 is. they don't want people complaining to them if there are incompatibilities between ogg files and the ogg decoder and they end up sounding bad or not playing

  12. Re:Oh yeah, real lame. Ferarri lame, even. on Apple releases iPod · · Score: 1

    wireless transfers (using airport) would add another $100 to the product. that alone makes it not worth it unless you are insanely rich. but also the transfers would be so much slower, only slightly better than usb transfers

  13. Re:Support for non-Apple platforms? on Apple releases iPod · · Score: 1

    stay tuned
    they might add support to quicktime for windows

    not sure about linux

  14. Re:This is offtopic [No, it's not :) ] on Transmeta To Release Next Generation CPU · · Score: 1

    that means if you turn the brightness all the way down and don't do anything you will get 5 hours of battery life

    the ibook 99 claimed to have 6 hours
    i usually get around 4

  15. Re:Tell the idiots to read the bloody license! on Microsoft Shuts Auction Doors On Old Windows · · Score: 1

    no one reads license agreements

    enough said

  16. Re:Just out of curiosity... on One Year Of OpenOffice · · Score: 1

    they're probably using it to test compatibility issues
    not sure about using it for busy work

  17. Re:Let me get this straight.... on Transgaming Bringing Windows Games to Linux(?) · · Score: 1

    actually it would be more like

    $60/year subscription to transgaming
    plus $20/year for distros or $250 for cd burner

    or

    $20/month subscription to windows
    plus $200 and maybe $100/year for upgrades

  18. Re:Just a little Story on Polaroid Can't Compete with Digital Cameras · · Score: 1

    the only thing that is an advantage of a polaroid is that it prints out the picture instantly. some digital cameras have something called a screen that you can view pictures on. if you don't like the picture, delete it and you don't lose money. if you do, show it to everyone. when you get home, e-mail it, save it on hard drive or cd-r so it will last about forever, and print it with a photo printer.

  19. Re:PGP Signed USPS.GOV email is not such bad polic on Anthrax To Kill Snail Mail · · Score: 1

    the rest of the world would not be happy with that

  20. Pentium 5 on Intel Promises A Cool Billion (Transistors) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Imagine.

    Just today, Intel announced the release of the Pentium 5 processor. The new processor runs at 50 Ghz. It features a 300-stage pipeline. It will take 2 minutes for each instruction to complete on average. But to optomize, programmers can send 1800 intructions at a time, as long as they have no dependence on each other at all.

  21. Re:Sharp Zaurus PDA on Sharp's Upcoming Linux PDA · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I think the StrongARM uses a lot less power than a Pentium processor.

  22. Re:Lets Bomb Them Into The Stone Age!!! on US Starts Attacking Afghanistan · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's impossible to bomb Afganistan back into the stone age. Thay are already in the stone age, or worse. Even if it was possible, it would be the wrong thing to do. The enemies are the terrorists and the Taliban for harboring them and not helping to find and/or turn them over. Attacks on Afganistan aren't attacks on the Taliban. The Taliban does not represent the Afgani people. They are only the ruling party and only are there because they have the most weapons left over from the Soviet war. So unless the Taliban and/or terrorists are eliminated, nothing has been accomplished.

  23. Re:the real reason nobody likes this on FTC Abandons Call for Stronger Privacy Laws · · Score: 0

    The reason broad laws are made is so that if someone is caught doing something wrong, there is a law to punish that person. If there is no law, the suspect has not legally done anything wrong. There isn't enough time to make specific laws, so broad laws are made instead and inforced when needed.

  24. Re:Mirror on New DVD Recorder With 52 hours Of HDD Recording Time · · Score: 0

    it's 52 hours in EP mode, which has less fps than SP mode. the picture quality should be the same, but it won't be a smooth

  25. Re:DVD region coding in OS X on OS X 10.1 Coming Today (Sorta) · · Score: 0

    pretty much a guess about it:
    If all the languages are integrated into one OS like they say, it souldn't be that hard. Either it will just play, or you could change the location/language.
