  1. Re:kingston tech on Sun and Kingston Legal Battle Over Memory Patents · · Score: 1

    What's more...

    Kingston is the company that hands out those amazing bonuses to ALL of their employees. Generous is an understatent.

    Ever call Kingston with a tech issue? They are helpful and seem genuinely happy. RMAs are quick. They offer to next-day-air any component (as small as a single NIC) if you want.

    I deal with many companies daily and Kingston is the best to talk with.

  2. Re:Rant by a Matrox Fan on Review Of The Matrox 32MB Millenium G400 · · Score: 1

    I concur!

    My brother introduced me to Matrox when he had is Pentium 100... many moons ago. Keen to the Linux community "it just works."

    I have a G200, and although its performance isn't so hot, I have much better picture quality than any other (non-Matrox) card I've looked at carefully. Mind you, performance isn't BAD.

    I work for a shop that sells many systems. I push to sell Matrox, because we get so few returns on them... quality is excellent. As are the drivers... excellent.

    But then companies that produces the hardware, the chips, and the software seem to offer better Q/A.

    NT does dual processors.

    Heck, get two Milleniums. Whatever.

    It is not wrong. The *judge* has the final decision... hence res judicata. Judges aren't supposed to tell plaintiffs their arguements are full of @#$&.

    IFAIK

    This does prevent future claims. Prejudice is used to prevent "me too" cases. That situation is what class-action suits are for.

    A case dismissed "Without Prejudice" allows new evidence to be ADDED to the original, giving the plaintiff(s) a chance to build their case. In these cases, the judge is telling the plaintiff that they're probably right, but for the wrong reasons.

  7. Re:dismissed with prejudice on Quepasa.com Settles Whatshappenin.com Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Uhh. No.

    The case CAN be pursued... the problem is getting the decision of one judge changed by another. Few judges like to make "precedence" like that. It's a can of worms.

    It's the same reason sharks don't eat lawyers -- "Professional Courtesy."

  8. Re:Dismissed with prejudice on Quepasa.com Settles Whatshappenin.com Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Actually, no.

    It means the case was pre-judged. New circumstances cannot be entered later. The case WILL NOT BE allowed another trial unless another judge throws the original finding of prejudice excessively premature.

    Catch some reruns and it will make sense. :-)

  9. Dismissed with Prejudice. on Quepasa.com Settles Whatshappenin.com Lawsuit · · Score: 3

    This means this case can never be brought up again... even if new circumstances are uncovered.

    It's a good way for the judge to "honorably" state their disgust, which is probably the case here.

    Anyone know how to say "Slashdot" in Spanish?? :-)

    Have to agree with "lunatik17." If people would try changing their preferences to IGNORE "movies" or "John Katz" the world would be a better place.

    Perhaps "Anonymous Coward" should be renamed "Lazy Coward."

    Uhh.. nice arguement, BUT...

    IPO Stock prices are based on hype. That's all. That's why there's a "quiet period."

    This is not to say Linux is not Enterprise ready, but the soaring stock prices DO NOT prove that.
