  1. iPod vs MD: the number one digital music player? on HP Licenses Apple's iPod & iTMS · · Score: 1
  2. ACLU on Jesus Castillo, Supreme Court, And Free Speech · · Score: 1

    Right, the ACLU would seem to be a more relevant organization...

  3. Re:DVI has copy protection on DVD Player With DVI Output · · Score: 1

    HDCP-encrypted DVI is called HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface).

  4. Space Elevator vs Space Junk on Traffic Cops for Space · · Score: 1

    The proposed "space elevator" previously discussed here would seem to be something of a fixed target for space junk...

  5. Re:Not the only person in US history .... on Kevin Mitnick Answers · · Score: 1

    Right, and for some reporting of this check out the This American Life program Secret Government.

  6. Re:This could make The Gimp cozy for MacHeads?? on GTK+OSX for Mac OS X Aqua · · Score: 1
    How many Mac users bother to purchase the 3-button?

    Three out of four known to me.

    Besides, the hockey-puck mice that were standard for a couple years begged to be replaced irrespective of their number of buttons; they were one of Apple's rare mistakes of form defeating function.

  7. Re:Kinesis keyboard on Keyboarding Love Or Keyboarding Pain · · Score: 1

    I have the basic Kinesis, which cost only $100. (As I mentioned, braces didn't work for me.)

  8. Kinesis keyboard on Keyboarding Love Or Keyboarding Pain · · Score: 1
    For a less exotic (and less expensive) solution, try a Kinesis keyboard.

    I had severe tendinitis for years, treated with wrist braces, ice, and ibuprofen, but then a couple years ago a friend encouraged me to get one of these keyboards. Problem solved -- brilliant.

  9. Overzealous filtering on MSNBC: Offices Remain Spam Free Zones · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And I wonder how much non-spam email is going down the memory hole? For instance, take the case of a company that lost significant mail from foreign customers in a classic "Risks Digest" blunder: offensive words in English may be perfectly innocuous in other languages...

  10. Re:but HOW? on DHTML Bug Found in Mozilla 1.2 · · Score: 1

    ...so perhaps a better SCM system is called for?

  11. Re:best commercial ever on Slashback: Alternatives, Ads, Apple · · Score: 1

    Ah, the music... a bit sad that it took a commercial to get Nick Drake's quietly amazing music better known to America after all these years (decades) -- but at least it's an understated and decent one.

    See http://www.nickdrake.net/ among many others...

  12. Re:My Mom IS Running Linux (but doesn't know it!) on Moms Go Linux, And Other Windependence Winners · · Score: 1

    My mother's running Linux via the NIC padded cell system.

    It works reasonably well; the hardware is trailing edge, but you don't need blazing chips to run a web browser...
