  1. Re:Bloggin' Blogtastic, Bloggies! on The World of Blogebrities · · Score: 1

    So would a blogging Smurf have a Smog? Just asking.

  2. 3? on The Scoop on the Xbox 360's Embedded OS? · · Score: 1

    Three 3.2ghz processors? Wow. That's some pretty cool hardware specs. Pretty impressive. But it all means jack if they don't have the titles.

  3. I'll pay anyone $200 to track down the creater of on Virus Hold Computer Files 'Hostage' for $200 · · Score: 1

    All I need is the names and addresses... and a plane ticket... and a rental car. Give me that, and I'll make them recant their evil ways. This goes for Spyware authors and Spammers. And the guy that cancelled Firefly.

  4. On old machines... on Microsoft Developing Windows for Low-End Machines · · Score: 1

    Like the ones they are talking about, built for 95... I like to use Damn Small Linux... Works great. And it's free. And it's available now.

  5. No one on 512MB GeForce 6800 Ultra Reviewed · · Score: 5, Funny

    No one needs that much graphics processing... *looks at Longhorn* Nevermind.

  6. Re:Norton is useless on Symantec Launches Anti-Spyware Beta · · Score: 1

    I'm doing the same thing at the same sort of joint... using the same applications. AVG is the king. But Norton isn't so much the problem as McAfee. That stuff is just total junk. I've also found that Webroot's Spy Sweeper is excellent. I use a trial version of 3.5 on customer's machines to pull out the bugs sometimes. Another key tool that I can't live without is "Hijack This". Stupid name, but a dang good tool.

  7. Re:Windows that protects users on Symantec Launches Anti-Spyware Beta · · Score: 1

    They did... it's called LINSPIRE.

  8. If on Liquid Metal CPU Cooling · · Score: 1

    If liquid metal was the ticket for super cooling... We would be using it in high performance automotive applications. Last time I checked, my 600 horsepower Bronco still uses regular old coolant.

  9. So this means? on Microsoft to Release a Thin-Client Windows XP · · Score: 1

    What? What can I do with a thin XP? What can I get out if this? Enlighten me.

  10. They have to. on Newspapers Back Apple Bloggers · · Score: 1

    Asside from the copywrite violations, this is a 1st ammendment issue... Freedom of Speech pure and simple. If newspapers are against that, then they are against themselves. There is also the definitions of Journalism that has to be addressed as well. What consititutes a Journalist? Is the just being published, or is it readership? Because some of the bigger blogs out there have readerships far in excess of most newspapers. For the newspapers, it's an all or nothing deal.

  11. Outstanding. on Firefox Improves Pop-Up Ad Blocking · · Score: 1

    I love the Drudge Report, but it has pop-ups that Firefox misses.

  12. It's an attempt on Games That Shoot Back · · Score: 2, Interesting

    To put a real fighting spirit into our PlayStation Generation. And it has a good point. If you get hurt, you can't just cry and take your ball and go home. That can get you and your squad killed. Getting hurt and wounded... that doesn't mean the fight is over. That just means the fight is on! That you have to fight harder, and smarter. Training like this is a good thing. - Former Instructor at the Infantry Training Center at Ft. Benning Georgia.

  13. But.. on NNSA Supercomputer Breaks Computing Record · · Score: -1, Redundant

    But you still can't play GTA SA on it.

  14. Boot Time? on BeOS Ready for a Comeback as Zeta OS · · Score: 1

    Funny thing about all the noise about boot up times. Linux boots slower than Windows. You know, Diesle engines take longer to start too. But once they do they can run a lot longer and farther while doing a lot more work. Just sayin.

  15. Forget Spammers, Bill on Gates' Resolve in Bringing Spammers to Justice · · Score: 1

    Go after the farkheads making the spyware!

  16. WTF? on Squeak Group Buys Ship Naming Rights in Gaiman Novel · · Score: 1

    We have paid product placement in movies... And now they are coming to books? WTF?

  17. April Fools on Trey Parker and Matt Stone Save Enterprise · · Score: 1

    This April Fools thing is getting carried away. Next thing that will be reported is OSX for x86 and MS Linux.

  18. Sheesh on Paris Hilton Recruited to Publicize Linux · · Score: 1

    So much for giving Linux some added credibility. That girl isnt even pretty. I don't get the attraction.

  19. I hear... on COMDEX Cancelled Again · · Score: 1

    I hear that they are waiting for Duke Nukem Forever to come out first before they start it back up.

  20. This is old? New to me! on GTA3 and Vice City now Online Multiplayer · · Score: 1

    All I have to say is that this is evidence that God lives, and that he loves us, and prayers work. Now, let's go kill all the Haitians.

  21. Ah crap on Java Fallout: OO.o 2.0 and the FOSS Community · · Score: 1

    When I read the headline I was thinking "Fallout" the game has gone open source and I could play it on my SUSE box. Dang dang dang.

  22. Robots that look like Humans? on Hitachi Unveils Humanoid Robot · · Score: 1

    I just want one that looks like R2-D2, that will follow me around to keep my Cold One's handy and chilled and within reach. If it can make sandwiches, all the better. That's all I need. No, I don't want it to play me Chess either.

  23. I wonder on New Dr. Who Episode Leaked · · Score: 1

    Does the new series have Dr. Who with a huge afro and a gigantic ugly scarf?

  24. Linux is gaining ground. on Linux on the Tipping Point · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I work in a rural Utah computer shop, and every day, I'm seeing Linux make inroads.
    I've got about a dozen customers fully converted to it for desktop use. The downside is that these customers are no longer coming in every couple months for spyware and virus removal or other Windows fixes. Go figure.

  25. Reminds me of something on LiveCD Lets You Try Out Project Looking Glass · · Score: 1

    When I looked at the screen shots, I am seeing something that reminds me of some of the new Longhorn gadgets... or things that have been said to become new Longhorn features.
    Transparency, 3D positioning of windows.
    10 bucks says that Sun offering will have about 1/2 the system requirements that Longhorn will have when it finally comes out.

    I like the looks of this. Very clean. Very fresh. This will make potential Longhorn customers take a 2nd look.
