  1. How could they do it? on HP: Rival Printers Mean No More HPs Through Dell · · Score: 0, Insightful

    I don't think HP legally can do it under antimonopoly laws: you can't sell your goods only to selected companies - you MUST sell it to everyone who will pay listed price.

  2. Ideas on Time to Say Thanks For the Uptime · · Score: 1

    I think we should all remind our employers that administrators are people too...

    Here is a way to do it fast:
    Just redirected all http requests to your own intranet page with BIG FLASHING banner, asking to greet us with sysadmin day and add such line to every incoming email.. I'm sure that soon everyone will notice your existence :)
    Otherwise unplug from network users who did not greet you well...

  3. Statistics on Free Software Inflates BSA's Piracy Claims · · Score: 2, Funny

    Seems like BSA followed usual business plan:
    stage 1: Post biased annual piracy statistics in media
    stage 2: ???
    stage 3: PROFIT!!!

  4. Don't panic on Schmidt Predicts Digital Sky Is Falling · · Score: 2, Funny

  5. I 've got an idea! on MPAA vs. Television · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If they'll enforce broadcast flag under FCC rules, then it will create a good opportunity to ads-free recording: you just have to reverse firmware in your recorder to store programs WITH broadcast flag...So all ads will be skipped
    hehe :)

  6. Not suprised on Pioneer 10 Still Running After 30 years · · Score: 5, Funny

    Pioneer 10 is still functioning 30 years after it was launched in 1972, and is still sending back scientific data. The article mentions that two other old space craft, Voyager, and IMP-8 are still functioning after over 20 years...

    Even numbered releases always were the stable ones.

  13. editors, please, spellcheck! on nForce2 Preview · · Score: 1

    An anonymous submitter writes "I noticed that a review of NVIDIA's nForce2 chipset has been posted here"

    It's the preview, not review.

  14. Not document on Coble-Berman Bill Would Restrict Fair Use · · Score: 1, Informative

    actually this is not a document, but a scan of paper bill without any text recognition.
    And PDF-file is not the best way to do it in a such way.

  18. IMNAL on New Palm Pictures? · · Score: 1

    Looks semi-legit - but who knows, and who knows how long the images will stay up?

    I just don't understand why I'm not allowed to put a picture to a web server? I'm not selling it, not violating their copyrights, i did not sign any NDA's and for the God's sake why some fu@#%ing so-called Director of Global Information Security can require me remove the picture from my web site?!

    You should try ICQ Lite:
    http://www.icq.com/alpha/icqlite/faq.html
    What is ICQ Lite?
    ICQ Lite is pure messaging: It includes only the most popular features of ICQ, such as instant messaging, file transfer, SMS and meeting people, for super-quick communication!

  21. Yeah, right on Estimating the Size/Cost of Linux · · Score: 1

    So 10 billion lines of bad bloated code will worth more that 10.000 lines of pure, clean and fast code?
