  1. Outlook already does this on Microsoft Looks At Integrating Forums and E-mail · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Doesnt outlook already do this if you choose to view the folder by thread?

  2. Re:Acceptable unlawful behavior? Give me a break on Low-power FM Transmitters Banned in UK · · Score: 1

    I am sorry but sometimes there is a difference between doing something wrong and breaking a law. This seems to be one of those times where the law is what's wrong.

  3. Re:um, a 2mp camera for 10.99 on Disposable Digital Cameras Have Arrived · · Score: 1

    How long until thats illegal under the DMCA?

  4. DRM to DVM? on Diebold Voting Systems Grossly Insecure · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be nice if Digital Vote Management was as important or "hot" of a topic to the government as Digital Rights Management seems to be? How about a DMVA that puts anyone caught tampering with an electronic vote in the same position copyright infringers seem to be in?

  5. sat prep on Lowest Raw Score Ever on the SAT · · Score: 1

    The SAT is completely bogus. I showed up at 8 AM after a long night of hard drinking after a football game ans STILL got an 1150...then i dropped out of college with 92 credits. Talk about dumb!

  6. Re:Samples on Dr. Dre to pay $1.5 mil for "Illegal Sample" · · Score: 1

    Right. Just like Academia, and all other areas. The idea is that the original source must be cited. Not that you can not use it. Credit given where credit due. It just so happens that since in the recent past, the technology needed to record and distribute high quality sound recording has had a high barrier to entry. This created a gigantic, profitable business. Music tenda to have a theme and variations. Copyright a theme, and you stifle innovation on the variations. How many 4 note permutations out there are there? Hmmm... How many can I afford to copyright NOW?

  7. riiiiiight on Prince of Pop-ups · · Score: 1

    How is it that simply using certain features of a programming language are now patentable? I think SUN and the other creaters of javascript would most definitely have prior "pop-up" art on this scheister. Simply during the development and testing of javascript.

  8. paid support on Linux Desktop Myths Examined · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't see why "paid vendor support" is such a big deal with corporations, when it typically amounts to either A: Someone telling you what should have been documented on their web site or B: someone telling you to hire a guy to come in at $200 an hour to tell you you have a bad ram module, and replace it.

  9. kernel module on Keith Packard's Xfree86 Fork Officially Started · · Score: 1

    Would a kernel module providing a standardized API to drivers be a good way to provide an alternative to x that would be faster? (as long as it doesnt take down the kernel)
