  1. Re:To record TV shows of course. on New Sony PVR/DVR and DVD Recorder · · Score: 1

    You lost all credibility when referring to "Greg the Bunny" as one of the "best shows in recent years".

    I'd pick "Sports Night"

  2. Re:Good news on Moneydance - Cross-Platform Personal Finance · · Score: 1

    Jtone, I'm pretty sure it's Quicken. I use CIBC and their download screen only allows you to select Quicken. I can download the file OK but when I try to import to Quicken I get an error "Quicken is unable to verify the financial institution information for this download." I think there's a embedded value within Quicken that points it to a "verification server" at Intuit.

  3. Re:Sun fonts vs. OSS fonts on The Next XFree86 Wars: XFT2 vs STSF · · Score: 1

    have you tried the MS TT fonts here?

  4. Good news on Moneydance - Cross-Platform Personal Finance · · Score: 1

    I'll be checking this out since my version of Quicken (2000 Deluxe) just "sunsetted" the banking download feature. I'd love to find a replacement (yes, I'm looking at Gnucash too) so I don't have to either enter all my x-actions by hand or pay those money-grubbing weasels at Intuit for a subscription.

  5. Re:I'm sorry - it may be my fault on Shift Calls it Quits · · Score: 2, Funny

    Can you get a Microsoft developer subscription? There's probably alot of /.ers who will pitch in.

  6. Re:I'd rather see... on Your Tax Dollars Buying Open Source Software · · Score: 3, Funny

    Doesn't ninenine.com "repackage someone else's" content to create a "Free Porn" site? Doesn't your stated philosophy here say you should be hiring/paying the, uhh, content providers?

  7. Re:Article boycott on 1KM 802.11b @ 2MB · · Score: 1

    starting a boycott?! No one reads the articles now.

  8. Re:Thoughts From WilliamShatner.com on William Shatner Replies · · Score: 1

    This is bang on. I read the responses in the "call for questions" and for the most part I would have been embarassed asking them. Don't complain about the crappy interview if you didn't ask an interesting question.

  9. Re:This is dreadful on Trojan Found in libpcap and tcpdump · · Score: 5, Insightful

    there's no-one to pay me to pay my staff for the lost man-hours caused by this

    Did Microsoft pay you for lost man-hours when your staff battled Nimda or Code Red? Didn't think so.

  10. Re:Old News (Oxymoron?) on Mozilla: The Good And The Bad · · Score: 1

    If you read the article, you see it refers to "last Friday, the first". Given that May 1st was a Wednesday, November 1st was a Friday, and The Reg is based in England, the article is likely from November 5th, not May 11th.

  11. Re:No registration on Computerized Betting System Proves Vulnerable · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Note that if you follow this link, there is a link to the NYT story that you can see without registration. The URL ends with "&partner=GOOGLE" so it seems that if you are a partner of the NYT, you can access articles without registration. Could /. apply to the Times for partnership status?

  12. Re:slow! on Asteroid Fly-By on August 18 · · Score: 1

    you think they work nights?

  13. Bad link on Transformers On the Move Again · · Score: 1

    The non-recursive link to Rhino Records

  14. Re:That Movie Sucked on Resident Evil · · Score: 1

    We can spell, though. Which should definitely put us a step above Slashdot.

    That's pretty funny; their review of The Time Machine
    starts "Timel trave "

  15. Re:It's happened already! on ESR Says as PCs Get Cheaper, Windows Will Die · · Score: 3, Informative

    CNET link to this story is http://news.com.com/2100-1017-842375.html

  16. Re:Oh come on, I laughed myself silly. on Review: Kung Pow · · Score: 1

    Actually, Marisa Tomei won Best Supporting Actress in 1993 for "My Cousin Vinnie". Mira Sorvino won the same award in 1996 for "Mighty Aphrodite".

  17. Re:geeks have superiority complexes... on Friendships in the IT Workplace? · · Score: 2, Funny

    that should be "as smart as I"

  18. Re:Calendaring server is what we need on Mozilla.org Announces Open Source Calendar · · Score: 1

    I agree, no corporation currently using Exchange will switch to an open source solution unless the new solution will inter-operate with the existing one
