  1. Where's my $10, 10GB drive? on 320GB Hard Drives announced · · Score: 1

    Instead, I'm forced to eBay, where I pay $8 shipping on a $40 drive...

    I don't want/need 80GB! I just have a stinkin' cheap, 8-20GB drive!

  2. Re:Yes Xerox.. on Printer Makers' Ploys · · Score: 1

    Two people can't print to the damn thing at the same time, without fscking up the currnet print job . . .

    You have to get the driver off the web!

    Sure, that's fine and dandy, but not for the first 3 months we had it, before they had an updated driver!

  3. Re:Yes Xerox.. on Printer Makers' Ploys · · Score: 1

    The 850N's are a little closer to $2,000...

    I don't like them, here's why:

    EXPENSIVE to fix

    They don't do many paper sizes, printer drivers aren't that great...

    Free black ink. Great! Don't need a laser printer any more! WRONG. The ink scratches right off these pages. Try feeding them through a copier, where they get hot, or putting them on glass, where the wax gets all over.

    They are good for doing color brochures and stuff, but the wax is too easily taken off.

  4. NASA to use MAME on Houston, We Have a Software Problem · · Score: 1


    Yeah, I can just see it...SPACESH.ROM :)

  5. Apple Patents on Linux Replacing Windows More Than Unix · · Score: 1


    Apple Patented the 'Switch' Commercial

  6. ThinkGeek has a Kernel Map Poster on Looking At The Linux Kernel · · Score: 3, Informative


    ThinkGeek has the Kernel map poster...

  7. Re:Assembler is hard to follow? on Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers, 4th edition · · Score: 1

    Office is like 50 million lines of C/C++/VB

    That's like 3 katrillion lines of ASM

  8. I learned ASM from... on Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers, 4th edition · · Score: 1


    The old texts and demo tutes.

    And 'tute' isn't something you do with your horn.

  9. It's not fair! Japan gets all the good stuff! on New Linux-based PVR from Sony: Cocoon · · Score: 0, Offtopic


    1st "Japan gets all the high-tech stuff" post

  10. I've got my own way of keeping eyes away... on Polarized Screens to Hide Sensitive Data · · Score: 1


    Just run 1600x1200 on a 17" monitor...anyone who looks at it gets an instant migraine!

  11. The X Box isn't crippled? on Microsoft/HP to Market Crippled Entertainment PCs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sure, it's running linux, but isn't it just a crippled entertainment PC?

  12. Re:What to say to AS400 People about Linux on Selling Linux to AS/400 Shops? · · Score: 1


    If there's too many PC's to run around and install client access on, why wouldn't you just use Windows or Novell software to pump the apps over the network?

  13. Re:6, 6.1, 7? on Netscape 7.0 is Out · · Score: 1

    Basically, 6 was such a dissapointment, they wanted to differentiate it.

    6.4 isn't going cause people to switch, but 7.0 will. This isn't linux :)

  14. Re:What the hell... on Handling 'Unexpected Interrupt 0D' Errors Under NT? · · Score: 1


    180MHz Pentium Pro, not Pentium II

    This guy might have a Pentium MMX 200, hell he could have a K6-450, it doesn't seem like he knows what he's talking about.

  15. Re:More money for MS in long run. on HP Drops Microsoft Word in Favor of WordPerfect · · Score: 1

    The whole reason lawyers use DOS Word Perfect is:

    You can bring up the view of all the files in a directory

    You can hit the up-down arrows and flash each file on the screen. Then you can see what file you're looking for.

    Since it's hard to remember which file is which, with 8 character names, this makes it MUCH easier to use than Word/etc.

    If they'd only listen to me, and switch to Windows with long file names...

  16. We have nuclear submarines/carriers, why not ? on Project Orion: The True Story of the Atomic Spaceship · · Score: 1


    Those things go 25 years without needing to be refilled, or whatever.

  17. Is 'Group' the latest buzzword? on Adios, Caldera; Hello, SCO Group · · Score: 1


    I guess I'll start 'The Open Source Group'

    All the local consulting firms are renaming, example:

    Jorge-Schulz, and associates, CPA's

    Now known as

    The Jorge-Schulz Group

    Who started this little trend?

  18. Tomb Raider SUCKED on Tim Willits Interview: Lead Doom3 Designer · · Score: 1

    Horrible 3rd person camera....

    And Descent just made people DIZZY!

    It was a fun game though.

  19. What about Linux Kernel Developers? on Gamers Drive High-End PC Market · · Score: 1


    I'm sure these guys use some monster systems. You can't just sit around for a half hour while you build the latest kernel.

    Mr. Pabst has a review too.

    Wait about 6 more days until the Pentium IV 2.8Ghz comes out....

    I still use it....

    Small and fast install....

    I guess it's back to RedHat (going to lose the fast install and low footprint)
