  1. Bad sample on Are Mac Users Smarter than PC Users? · · Score: 1

    I doubt these samples have anything to do with OS preference and more to do with Technical Knowledge. The "PC" sites he choices are also sites that are known to the general public, while the other sites tend to be more niche oriented.

  2. Currently Satellite TV can' support VoD on Gates Predicts DVD Obsolete In 10 Years · · Score: 1

    I forgot where I read it, but it is something about the bandwidth to the satellite isn't large enough to support true VoD.

    This is one area where cable providers are going pull ahead of satellite.

  3. Re:At this rate.... on Fedora Core 3 Test 1 Released · · Score: 1

    There have been a bunch of package updates for FC2. Actually that reminds me that I need to update my workstation at home.

  4. Re:At this rate.... on Fedora Core 3 Test 1 Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    If you look at the roadmap, FC3 isn't supposed to be out till the 18th of October, a full month after Gnome 2.8 is supposed to be released.

  5. Re:The difference is GUI on URPMI For Fedora Core 2 · · Score: 4, Informative

    Can't you just use up2date for a yum gui? I did this on Fedora Core 1 & 2.

  6. Re:Madness on Senate Takes Aim At P2P Providers · · Score: 1

    Its not that it is difficult to catch them drinking, it is because it is difficult to establish probable cause in order to administer a breathalyzer test and/or search the vehicle. The Open Container law gives the Officer the ability to do both.

  7. No, lets give the Associated Press Props on CNN Notices that WiFi is Insecure · · Score: 1

    Afterall, they are the ones that distributed the article. And it can be found on dozens of sites that carry the AP.

  8. I was gonna say the same thing on Nintendo, Sony Start Handheld Gaming Battle At E3 · · Score: 1

    I am pretty sure you are right, the DS will live side by side with the GBA.

  9. Re:They work out on Snap Appliance Snap Server 1100 NAS Device · · Score: 1
  10. Re:Fedora Core 2 on Red Hat Linux 9 Reaches End-of-Life · · Score: 1

    I have found FC1 to be pretty good. I have it running at home and at work with no complaints.

    I am looking forward to FC2 though. I just wonder if power management will ever work correctly with my laptop though.

  11. Re:Evidence of Atheism as a Religion? Re:Gee... on Researchers To Climb Ararat To Seek Noah's Ark · · Score: 1

    Great flood stories exist across many, many different cultures. This url does a good summary of a bunch of them:

  12. Re:SOURCE PLEASE on Mozilla 1.7 to Become New Long-Lived Branch · · Score: 1
  13. What about Palm OS? on Nokia Takes Control of Symbian · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sure its still proprietary, but it is another option.

  14. Re:Secret Service on FBI Conducts Raids Over Half-Life 2 Source Theft · · Score: 3, Informative

    I believe the Secret Service provides Technical Forensic services for other agencies.

  15. Re:....And? on U.S. Begins Digital Fingerprinting In Airports · · Score: 1

    Yes but if that is the case, (typically) you wouldn't be a vistitor to the US. So this new development doesn't apply.

    Unless of course, you renegged your citizenship.

  16. No problems seen here... on U.S. Begins Digital Fingerprinting In Airports · · Score: 1

    Not citizens = no "constitutional" protected expectation of privacy

  17. Re:Internet Explorer.. CSS compatibility updated? on Windows XP SP2 Beta Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I was wondering the exact same thing. I don't see any mention of it though :(

  18. I 2nd this option on Recommendations for a Universal Remote? · · Score: 1

    Jp1 remotes are cheap and you can do alot with them.

  19. Re:"Stealth Bomber Cool"? on HD DirecTiVo And Other CES Treats · · Score: 1

    I think the TV is more Stealth Fighter cool.

  20. Re: Why include a link to a picture? on HD DirecTiVo And Other CES Treats · · Score: 1

    I thought I read that you could only use 2 of the tuners at once. At least I remember seeing that on the tivo community board.

  21. Re:who says you have to buy new? on Building A Low-Budget TiVo Substitute? · · Score: 1

    Can't press "record" on the TiVo from work, now can you?

    With replay you can: http://rtvrc.sourceforge.net/

  22. Get a Replay on Building A Low-Budget TiVo Substitute? · · Score: 1

    Skip Commercials (sure they removed the automatic skip, but now it is merely one button press to skip a commercial block), Download to your PC (using DVArchive) and re-encode to your desired video format.

  23. Re:Well, how is it? on Warp Pipe On Linux, Mac Versions, Future Plans · · Score: 5, Funny

    2 bean burritos and one beer away.

  24. Re:Expensive on Review of Squeezebox MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    "had the same functionality out of the box" for an extra fee. The Home Media Option costs an extra fee. So that means the total cost is $199 (box) + $299 (service) + $99 (HMO) = $597. Which is significantly more expensive.

    And you need a TV where you will be listening to music.

  25. Re:another botched memory? on New Battlestar Galactica Premieres Monday · · Score: 1

    Or course, then everyone would complain that it was a rip-off of original series.
