  1. Re:How about emacs key bindings?? on OpenOffice.org Is 4 Today · · Score: 1

    If you need support buy StarOffice.

  2. This is the one... on Affordable, Compact Keyboards? · · Score: 1

    I plan on getting one of these soon. Bonus they are waterproof. It's just a tad over the $25 you specified, less then $30.

  3. Re:Use Norton Ghost on Backups to CD-R? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Try Partimage, I use it and it works great. It's on Knoppix, but the System Rescue CD has a better release cycle.

  4. Re:Risky? on Dell Recalls Millions of AC Adaptors · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter what I think, it matters what Dell thinks. They won't accept it as a recall unless it meets both criteria I listed above. If your still hungry I have another bag of troll-food around here somewhere.

    It has to have one of those numbers AND be made by DELTA in Thailand.

  6. Re:Don't on High Tech Baby Monitoring? · · Score: 1

    Daily supervised Tummy-Time helps prevent the flat-head and learning to crawl issue. It also allows them to interact with their environment.

    I have two toddlers, baby three is due in afew more months. Both of mine rolled their head to the side when they slept on their back. I have no idea how that can be comfortable, it hurts my neck just thinking about it. If I slept like that it would probably be the start of a very bad month ('til my neck felt normal again).

  7. Re:Still about $20 too much on VoIP Price War Declared · · Score: 1

    This sort of price model is much easier with VOIP. Just buy your own adapter or use a softphone and there a plenty of places that will sell you minutes.

  8. Re:wow! on Gartner Says Linux PCs Just Used To Pirate Windows · · Score: 1

    welcome to my friend list...

  9. Re:Credit card ? on Verisign Develops Token for Age Verification · · Score: 1

    I don't think Dick Cheny or Bill Clinton have bad credit.

  10. Re:A Call For Responsibility on CA's Ex-CEO Indicted on Fraud · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think it's shameful for people to tacitly condone prison rape and other things. If we want someone to be raped daily for a year, we should have the balls to sentence them to that.

    I say bring back cruel and unusual punishment.

  11. Re:They already do... on Big Demand for Digital Music Players · · Score: 1

    I purchased 2 Mini-CD MP3 players for my wife and I. They were 19.99 each and they work great when I jog, I just have to give it a little time to cache the music and I can't skip around or it has to re-cache.
    On second thought, it sucks, but it was in my price range so whatever.

  12. Re:iPod=loose on Big Demand for Digital Music Players · · Score: 1

    Well, you can get one for free if you don't mind spamming message boards and pestering your friends to give away their (apperantly valuable) personal contact information.

    I should put my address, phone #, & email address on ebay. I'd rather have the cash.

  13. Re:No, not inevitable. Obsolete on You Don't Know Jack about VoIP · · Score: 1

    Soon, at least for U.S. domestic calls, there will be no price advantage for voice over IP.

    My packet8 account costs me $20.00 a month. I looked for flat rate longdistance POTS and it was at least $65.00 a month. That sounds like a bit of a price advantage to me.

  14. Re:As someone who actually used it... on The Voice Over IP Insurrection · · Score: 1

    My inlaws lost POTS service for about a week a couple years ago. I never did find out what happened.

  15. Re:Elite.. microsoft and govt on Early Warning For Microsoft Premium Customers · · Score: 1

    I've heard that universities often pay extra for thier fire protection. The towns often can't afford to provide the level of service they need.

  16. Re:30-50% less? on 3com to Compete with Cisco · · Score: 1

    I've had great luck with ProCurve equipment. It seems to be fairly robust, HP has great service, and they have lifetime advance replacement on all their equipment. The price is right too.

  17. Re:your mission, should you choose to accept it .. on Batch-o-Moz: Firefox, Thunderbird, Suite Released · · Score: 1

    In my experience, it also has problems with .lnk files. I had people in the office emailing around shortcuts and it gave Thunderbird fits.

  18. Re:Half-assed, probably can't be done feasibly any on Longhorn Will Have Ability to Ban External Storage Devices · · Score: 1

    I've used this product, they actually changed the name to Securewave. It's an awsome product, much better then any of the alternatives I investigated.

  19. Re:Fuck the X-box on NYT Profiles Creator of Black & White and Fable · · Score: 1

    Maybe somebody needs to lay off the video games for awhile.

  20. Re:Molyneux's gimmick - old, old stuff on NYT Profiles Creator of Black & White and Fable · · Score: 1

    I never dress up for Halloween. I tell people I am a serial killer, I look just like everybody else.

  21. Re:Was populous... on NYT Profiles Creator of Black & White and Fable · · Score: 1

    I think I have a copy of Populous II in my closet, email me.

  22. Re:Exactly on A Flying Leap for Cars? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the ACLU would love that!

    Flying cars are not a right, they are a privilage, if you want to travel freely you should stay on the ground

  23. ext3 vs reiser question on Reiser4 Filesystem Released · · Score: 1

    From anecdotal evidence, running Linux on a 366mhz pentium and a 66mhz pentium, it seems that ext3 is much faster then Reiser. Is Reiser more CPU intensive then ext or is this an anomoly?
    Speed benchmarks are great to go by if you have a newer system, but I swear Reiser was like molasses on my old ass servers and ext was at least barely usable.

  24. Re:Subscribers and Dating on How Google Could Overthrow AIM · · Score: 1

    If I only had a mod point...

  25. Re:WAR! on Hotmail Means to Double Gmail Storage · · Score: 2, Informative

    Comcast has increased Their email storage size to 250MB, up to 7 email address per subscriber.
