    Google$ "I hate Microsoft"
    Results 1 - 10 of about 87,200 for "I hate Microsoft". (0.37 seconds)

    There's some reading for you.

  2. Re:UnBox Video Player License on UnBox Calls Home, A Lot · · Score: 1

    Translation: we will scan your hard drive, your iPod's hard drive, your local network drives.

    This service will die within 3 months.

  3. Windows key on War Declared on Caps Lock Key · · Score: 1

    there's a key I wouldn't mind getting rid of.

  4. Checkout hugin on 3D Virtual Reconstructions From Microsoft · · Score: 1

    A very nifty tool, not very well known: http://hugin.sourceforge.net/

  5. Re:I'm waiting for the iPod - Toilet seat interfac on Apple and Nike Team up for iPod Shoe Interface · · Score: 1

    remember this? didn't quite have the sophistication of your invention though...

  6. why stop there? on RIAA Sues XM Satellite Radio · · Score: 1

    Subpoena Apple for the names & addresses of everyone who ever purchased an iPod and individually sue every iPod owner, force Apple to patch iTunes so that it deletes every non-DRM'ed tune from their iPod, break into people homes and burn tapes that they might have.

  7. Re:Rockbox rocks on Improve Your iPod with Rockbox · · Score: 1

    God it's ugly! No wonder the iPod killed the market.

  8. brainwashing your kids on Ballmer Babies Banned From iPods and Google · · Score: 1

  10. Free Podcasts -- the low-tech way on Podcasting Goes Pay-to-Play · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is what I used to do a while back:

    $ cat ~/bin/ra2pcm.sh
    #!/bin/bash

    mplayer -nocache -really-quiet -vo null -af resample=44100:0:1 -ao pcm -aofile $HOME/mp3/RADIO/`date +%y-%h-%d-%R`.wav $1


    then I got lazy with iTunes & my iPod... If I have to go back to that, fine. It's not the end of the world.

  11. Proof on Why Don't You Sleep On It? · · Score: 1

    That's why I sleep at my desk.

  12. Re:BSD license on Yahoo! Releases OSS Ajax and Design Tools · · Score: 1

    yet the menu bar on the right shows a Creative Commons attribution.

  13. Re:The ORIC-1 on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    mine was an Oric-1 too. I had it hooked up to a portable Sony tape player (CLOAD/CSAVE). I remember it like it was yesterday.

  14. log4net on Debugging Asynchronous Applications? · · Score: 1

    http://logging.apache.org/log4net/ is your friend. it's ported from log4j. it works really well. the documentation is not 100% accurate, so Google is your friend too. we log everything to a single Oracle table, it's nice and easy to mine using SQL statements, it's easy to purge; logging medium is mostly a matter of personal preference. a good logging framework will let you add new loggers / change log levels without touching your app (without even restarting it). BTW, Microsoft's Enterprise Library Logging Block appears to be mostly crap...(http://weblogs.asp.net/lorenh/archive/2005 /02/18/376191.aspx).

    No kidding. What about your local supermarket? How do people think companies like Nielsen exist?

  18. Re:Dependency hell on Going Deep Inside Vista's Kernel Architecture · · Score: 1

    steve@localhost: yeah, I'm watching the video. Only one guy on their team is wearing black. They're fucked.

  19. this just goes to show... on Run Linux as a Windows Screensaver · · Score: 2, Funny

  20. Re:2006 election on Kansas Board of Ed. Adopts Intelligent Design · · Score: 4, Funny

    They'll be able to experience "survival of the fittest" in Technicolor. muahahahaha.

  21. 2-tier solution - welcome to the 90's, people! on Ajax Is the Buzz of Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    2-tiered model, with the worst possible protocol (insecure, verbose, spaghetti-prone: [n pages x m endpoints], the client calls are not type-checked and versionning the endpoints is a nightmare). It sounds wonderful.

  22. Re:Bill screwed up with the wife again on Bill Gates Donates $258 Million to Fight Malaria · · Score: 5, Funny
