  1. Re:Congress has to pass this on Florida Lawmakers Approve Year-Round Daylight Saving Time (tampabay.com) · · Score: 1

    Florida will probably get shot down.

  2. Re:trump won according to law on Feds Crack Trump Protesters' Phones To Charge Them With Felony Rioting (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 2

    Ignoring the fact that Donald Trump didn't make Hillary run an illegal private email server that contained classified information.

  3. Disclosure would have been nice. on Shazam Keeps Your Mac's Microphone Always On, Even When You Turn It Off (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The reason is understandable, but there should an opt-in or some kind of disclosure. Something like "This app keeps your microphone initialized for a better user experience. This "feature" can be disabled in the programs settings."

  4. Progress and Innovation is not bad... on Why Elon Musk's Batteries Frighten Electric Companies · · Score: 1

    As a species, we can't be scared to innovate and progress just because it might destroy and industry.

    I want a mute switch for ignorant politicians...

  9. Re:Why is this news? on Microsoft's Personnel Puzzle · · Score: 1

    And is surprises you that Windows is buggy as hell and their products are always delayed?

  10. Movielink? Not on Mac, Linux, or some Windows on Internet Movies Before DVD · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but as of May 2, 2005, Movielink no longer supports Windows 98 and ME operating systems.
    Movielink also does not support Mac or Linux.

    In order to enjoy the Movielink service, you must use Windows 2000 or XP,
    which support certain technologies we utilize for downloading movies.

    If its anything like this it will never work. I would rather stick to torrents, and it has nothing to do with the the price.

  11. External Firewire on Felony Charges For H.S. Hacking · · Score: 1

    It's a Mac, most kids I know have an iPod. Install OS X and boot from that, or go buy a cheap firewire HD, or better yet, I'm pretty sure these ibooks had airport and not airport extreme, which is supported under linux. Boot from a Linux live cd and have at it...

  12. Re:age discrimination! on Taking on an Online Extortionist · · Score: 1

    What, you wanted everyone with a low user id to post?

  13. Re:Why we must fight Linspire... on Linspire Five-0 First Look · · Score: 1

    Actually, if people would do their research before posting, you would find out that Linspire has done a lot for OSS. They have contributed to wine,kde,mozilla,kde-look.org,reiser just to name a few actually (5). As for as Lsongs and Lphoto, they are written in python so you can get it to work on any distro with python installed.

  14. Now thats what I call DirecTV! on Chinese Satellite Crashes Into House · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is that their new dedicated subscription?

  15. Check out SmartCertify.com on Best Training in Linux Administration? · · Score: 1

    Ask them for a year subscription to their whole courseware offering, there is alot of stuff offered. They do most of the military IT training. It's mentored also, so if you have a question you just ask. I paid $1800 for a full year to everything they offer. There parent company is Skillsoft,which is really who the courses are offered through. You also get a full year access to their book library which is quite extensive. As others have said, install Linux on your network, fedora, suse and also some like debian, Linux from scratch, gentoo.

  16. Re:How is this different? on FairPlay v2 Reversed, Playfair Back Online · · Score: 1

    I'm actually glad that it was cracked. Yes I buy some of my music off of iTunes. But I also like to play my music on all "MY" computers. 15 to be exact only being able to play my music on 5 is an annoyance.

  17. Forget WMA add OGG on HP Working With Apple To Add WMA Support To iPod · · Score: 1

    Since apple is "so into OSS" they need to go ahead and add .ogg support also. If Apple is trying to sale iPods I think that would do the trick.

  18. Re:Ooooh Chicken Shit software! on Walgreens PureDigital Camera Hacked · · Score: 1

    I just bought a Kodak cx4310 at Wal-Mart for around $98, which I can use as a USB drive, I did however buy a 128mb SD card for it.

    In later news, Crest sues Lindows.com for including its Fluoride source IP in its version of the Linux kernel.

  20. Re:The Usual Suspects on Is There An OS On My Hard Drive? · · Score: 1

    Actually, it has the debian apt sources.. Well atleast all 4.0.x releases does, and I'm pretty sure 5.0 will also. I use Lindows, I also use just about every other Linux out there. Linux is like ice cream, the more flavors the better.

    KDE or Gnome?

  22. Microsoft would release a Windows for the Xbox on X-Box Hackers Trying to Blackmail Microsoft? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It would be in Microsoft's better interest to release a version of Windows for the Xbox than Linux. And that would just mean more money they can gain from the sale of the Xbox. Not only would they control the software, but also the hardware. Isn't this exactly what they want to do with Secure Computing Base a.k.a. Palladium? Just put a package together containing Windows, keyboard, and mouse that will connect to the Xbox via the controller ports, and slap a nice little pricetag on it.

    If this is in fact true, what are the effects of cellular phones... Studies have been done to see if they cause cancer and such.. What about them making you smarter or dumber????
