  1. Re:Remember BNetD on Warcraft 3 Expansion Beta Signups Announced · · Score: 1

    of course had they just released their own dedicated server, this would have been a moot point. or if bnet was actually stable and usable upon the new release of one of their games.

  2. here a blade there a blade on Sun Releases New Servers, Blades & More · · Score: 1

    everywhere I go is news of this newfangled *blade* thing.

    or...
    5% of /. readers wish they were getting laid... the other 95% didn't even realize what day it was. :)

  6. Re:Not Bandwidth - Tracking and Filtering on Is AIM Really a Bandwidth Hog? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    amazing, just amazing... of course if it was the RIAA or MPAA asking for who sent xyz avi or mp3 aol would bend over backwards to provide data, no doubt.

  7. nethack on Nokia's Cellular GBA - The N-Gage · · Score: 5, Funny

    not even on my radar without nethack... :)

  8. Re:But that's not all! on Nokia's Cellular GBA - The N-Gage · · Score: 1

  10. Too many video games on Battlefield Medkits Improve · · Score: 1

    And here I thought they meant Battlefiel 1942... but alas, real world stuff. Next up, microagents in the med kit.

  11. Re:Kroupware on Corporate KDE · · Score: 1

    I'd be all over KDE 3.11... or KFW for short

  12. Re:obligatory comment on Apple and Linux Beneficial to Each Other? · · Score: 1

    rofl, yes yes, good point. I'd even go so far as to guess that most if *us* are scrounging university dial up accts and making the most of the very limited free dial ups still left. Taking whatever hand me down box we can get our hands on.

  13. Re:Linux should be careful on Apple and Linux Beneficial to Each Other? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    True enough...

    However, them being a commercial company is part of the appeal.

    Things like supported dvd playback, good media support, cohesive destop experience.

    And all other things being equal, a computer purchace (thankfully) isn't forever.

  14. obligatory comment on Apple and Linux Beneficial to Each Other? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    if they weren't so expensive I'd have one already

    X isn't insecure, really... oh wait, is that a window I hear breaking in the background... gotta go...

  18. the real threat on Missing Hard Drive Spurs Data-Theft Fears In Canada · · Score: 2, Funny

    We all know that the real threat is those 31337 skr1p7 k1ddiez and no other threat

    At least that is what *they* keep telling us. You do believe them, right?

    heh heh

  19. wikipedia on Father of Video Games turning 60 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    not sure wich is cooler, google or wikipedia...

  20. Re:Because of him on Father of Video Games turning 60 · · Score: 3, Funny

    not to mention sudden video game death syndrome...

  21. Re:driver on Old HP DeskJet/ScanJet Power Supplies Failing? · · Score: 1

    I second that it might be the driver.

    I used to have a dj660c, the driver was just as bad as the printer. the thing that usually fixed printing issues for me was to uninstall the printer driver, reboot, reinstall.

    as far as the power supply, I know of several of this vintage printer in service still. I've not heard of any real issues with it. (other than getting lost during a move)

  22. Who is on Microsoft Tries a "Switch" Campaign · · Score: 1

    the true target audience? I'm sure this is really marketing towards the people with ageing 95/98 boxes looking at the MAC switch ads going hmm. Honestly, how many MAC people would believe MS marketing?

  23. Cool, but... on Ren and Stimpy (And John K) Returning? · · Score: 1

    will it have the ticker at the bottom. Such an amazing *feature*

  24. guitar on DRM Helmet · · Score: 1

    The guitar, being a circumvention device, will now require a special license. To obtain your license, contact The RIAA...

  25. ZD Net wouldn't know on Linux Distributions Are Too Big · · Score: 1

    Ziff Davis is too in love with MS to have any kind of valid opionin about linux. I never go with the default install on ANY os I use.
