  1. Re:Parochial school boards on Ontario Schools License StarOffice · · Score: 1

    Actually, Ontario has four publicly funded education systems: English public, English Catholic, French public and French Catholic. There are so few French people in Ontario that most are unaware of the existance of the French boards. That does not, however, prevent huge sums of money going to those French district school boards.

    Now that's waste!

  2. Instead, it would be nice... on A New Look For Firefox · · Score: 1

    to actually get 0.9 out the frikin' door, rather than fiddle with themes!

  3. Firefox 0.9 on AOL to Release Netscape 7.2 Based on Mozilla 1.7 · · Score: 1

    I thought 0.9 was taking a long time, then I see Netscape 7.1 to 7.2 was over a year.... I guess I should be more patient.

  4. Re:Spam filter on Mozilla 1.8 Alpha Released · · Score: 1



    Spambayes captures everything. Sometimes it places mail it's not sure of in a Suspects folder, but it hasn't let spam in my inbox (I'm using the Outlook add-in) for months. Use it.

  6. Beer and programming? on Tubby: When Custom Cases Meet Frosty Cold Beer · · Score: 2, Interesting



    I wonder how many people go for an intoxicant whilst programming. If you do, does it help your creativity and productivity?

  13. I think I've heard of this on The New Linux Speed Trick · · Score: 2, Funny


    Doesn't this involve a green marker, and tracing along the edge of the hard drive? Faster and less distortion?

  14. Re:Go after the IP on Music Industry Loses In Canadian Downloading Case · · Score: 1

    Yes, but the cable modem is what is directly connected to the wire. Thus, the true MAC is always known.... otherwise you could not connect!

  15. Keepers of All Knowledge! on Google's Gmail To Offer 1GB E-mail Storage? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I, for one, welcome our Google overlords.

  16. Re:Go after the IP on Music Industry Loses In Canadian Downloading Case · · Score: 1

    I don't think it is so much the IP, as the MAC address of your cable modem. They gave you the modem, so they know who you are. Remember that they know all about you based on the MAC.

  17. Cool on SBC Park Plans A Giant 802.11 Hotspot · · Score: 3, Funny


    I paid $50 for a seat at a baseball park so I can play Unreal Tournament with 50,000 other people.

  18. Hell, I did this 20 years ago... on Brain Controlled Tightrope Video Game Shown · · Score: 4, Interesting


    I simply interfaced to my VCS.

  19. Yes, but there is a difference... on Plumber, Electrician... Digitician? · · Score: 1

    There is a difference here between technicians working on vehicles, or say, industrial air conditioning: the price of a computer is small enough that the technical support bill could easily top the cost of the hardware. Alternatively, though, it could be said that air conditioner or vehicle does not contain information within that is of value. Could we say that the retrieval of personal or valuable information makes the PC of far greater value than the sum of its components?
