  1. Re:Easy Solution: Black Tape on Corporate IT Hanging Up on Apple's iPhone · · Score: 1

    Easy solution to this: add black tape to the camera portion of the iPhone. There no company secrets will be stolen via camera.

    Easy solution to that; rip off black tape to snap that picture. do you really think that is a real corporate solution? "Now, promise us you won't ever pull off this tape, MMkay.....

    I don't have to imagine-

    I do it frequently with my Xbox running XBMC, using an XBMC youtube script. it also will also play nearly any audio/video format out there- I won't be jumping in with iTV, despite being a recent mac switcher (mini).

  3. Re:In addition to that, on Mapping Google Maps · · Score: 1

    I doubt that the big boys in real estate are letting anyone else as big as google play in thier sandbox... They are currently drafting rules to limit "discount" MLS access, but congress is watching!

    A more likely play is to create a new coalition to replace or subvert the MLS system.

  9. Re:The law vs. reality on What Has Number Portability Done For You? · · Score: 1

    For instance, when switching from AT&T to Verizon (while keeping your number the same) in my area you are forced to carry both your old phone and your new phone until May 2004. You place calls on your new phone but you still receive them on your old phone.

    sounds like you are not living in one of the top 100 cell markets that have been upgraded. check here-
    http://wireless.fcc.gov/wlnp/documents/top100.pdf

    For me, the reality is that all the wireless providers suck, and this gives you a weapon to extract lower monthly pricing from your current provider. that's how i'm gonna play it!

    well, it's not a PVR, first of all. Second, there is an air of "theres no way you can do that" to the pieces of hardware you mentioned.
    This is just a half assed attempt to make some cash.

  12. Re:It gets even worse on Apple to Accept Returns of Mac OS X on Some G3s · · Score: 1

    you know, I point the finger right back at apple. If apple had done some better design testing (which they are supposedly the best at) then they would know that the cord is too flimsy. So exactly where do you put your A/C cord when you aren't using it? i'd bet you wrap it around the brick too, just like every other laptop owner in the world.

  14. is there a certainty we'll even ever see the code? on SCO Awarded UNIX Copyright Regs, McBride Interview · · Score: 1

    Has anyone comtemplated that SCO will have granted by the court in the SCO/IBM case a provision to seal this portion of the case on the basis of trade secrets? In that case it seems that the development community may never see the actual code, and only learn the result of the lawsuit, making it extremely difficult to "clean up" the current codebase of infringing material!

    also, if IBM ever decides to settle the case, SCO may demand to keep the code secret under an NDA. (and don't think IBM can't decide to settle, weirder things have happened before with corporations- it may be cheaper and easier to settle!)

  15. now i'm not necessarily advocating win98, but... on Microsoft Pulls Plug for Support on NT4 · · Score: 1

    sure sounds like driver issues to me. that makes the issue a little more difficult to pin directly onto XP instead of ATI, etc. That being said, are you using certified drivers? I would say if it's certified it better be stable!

  16. I'm not sure that analogy works... on The Power Behind the SCO Nuisance · · Score: 1, Informative

    If I sue John in a court of law, I can't ask the court to award me Bill's house. That lawsuit has to be against Bill. And I *definitely* can't sue Mary for living in the house that she rented in good faith from Bill, especially before said lawsuit against Bill reaches a conclusion. well, I can think of a real world example when you could do that. if a contractor subcontracts work to someone else (roofing a house, etc) and doesn't pay the subcontractor, the unpaid worker can file for a lien on your house for the money- that's why you need a lien waver. How this relates to SCO, I'm not sure but I'm also not sure that your analogy applies.

  17. Re:Consumers don't care. on Integrated 3D Graphics Motherboard Round-Up · · Score: 1, Insightful

    First of all, I'll let somebody behind me take on the dumb comment.

    Second of all, when i build systems for my family and friends, I want to pick integrated video (after explaining to them the inherent drawbacks)that doesn't suck, and always pick a MB that has AGP as well. I'm the one that reviews available information on hardware performance and tells them "yes, it's ok to buy the nforce mboard, it'll play warcraft II" or whatever game they are looking at. And i haven't purchased anything faster than a 1 gig Tbird yet..

  20. Re:component placement on Off-The-Rack Liquid-Cooled PC Case · · Score: 1

    Regardless of air circulation, having the PS in the bottom will create a warmer environment than one in the top - Heat rises, and will affect all the components it rises through - It seems like a top mounted ps with top vents would be a better idea for passive cooling.
