  1. Re:Well... on Microsoft Fights to Weaken Washington Anti-Spam Law · · Score: 1

    As they said in Fallout: Tactics, "There is always another enemy".

  2. Re:All in one on Linus Has Harsh Words For Itanium · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, you kind of forgot how MS server 2003 doesn't have support for x86-64, but has support for Itanium II. Can't leave MS out of the fray ;)

  3. Re:So how is this news? on Apple is Going Out of Business ... Again · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    X is happening shortly after you boot up any recent Apple computer.

  4. Quick! on The Linux Uprising · · Score: 3, Funny

    grab your torch! I need help storming AMD's HQ to "convince" them they need to release the Athlon64 now, and not on Microsoft's timetable. Think more favorable Businessweek articles.

  5. Doh! on Anti-Piracy Labeling Bill in Works · · Score: 1

    should have RTFA more closely. How redundant of me.

  6. For on Anti-Piracy Labeling Bill in Works · · Score: 1

    the more bandwidth hungry of you, here's the link of the Senator's site w/ pictures.

  7. How on IBM Picks Qtopia Over PalmOS And PocketPC · · Score: 3, Insightful

    is this suprising? IBM's a big supporter of Linux in pretty much every area that it can be. Embedded, desktop, server, mainframe, etc.

  8. Watch the movie on SEC Lifts Ax For Minnesota Stock-Price Spammer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Boiler Room and you'll get a good idea of how penny stock scams work.

  9. Re:Why 2? on Two New Handhelds From Sony · · Score: 1

    You could do this easily with one. Like the new Sharp clamshell Zaurus, with 640x480 res. Setup an html file with your pixxx in tables, and view it with Opera/Konquerer Embedded. Really easy.

  10. Re:I dislike all handhelds and probably always wil on Two New Handhelds From Sony · · Score: 1

    1. The display is too small.

    If a display that's 240x320 (or 640x480 in the case of Sharp's newer clamshell) is too small for you, then perhaps you should consider getting a VGA-out CompactFlash card and some Video glasses.

    2. The input devices are too inconvenient/cumbersome.

    Sharp's Zaurus has a decent input method: thumboard. I can type faster on it with my thumbs than I can with Jot/Graffii. If you want to use a desktop-like interface, you can always SSH into a Zaurus with a desktop.

  11. Re:FCC?! on Two New Handhelds From Sony · · Score: 2, Informative

    The info and pictures get "leaked" when Sony, Palm, or anyone else who makes an electronic device has it reviewed by the FCC before it goes retail. The info get's entered into the FCC's database, which is searchable from the web. I guess there are people who check the FCC search engine every day for new stuff from Sony, Palm, Sharp, etc.

  12. Their on Two New Handhelds From Sony · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    site's moving so slow that it could very well be running off one of those Clies.

  13. I propose on CEE2003: A One-Vendor Trade Show · · Score: 1, Funny

    we have a ralley/march in the town where AMD's headquartered. That, and maybe convince some IBM and HP execs to come and speak about how we want the Athlon64 now and not on Microsoft's timetable. AMD's all but ignoring their AthtlonMP line of products, as they haven't come out with a new MP chipset since the MP's inception (760MP/X). It would give the Open Source movement a big boost, since Linux and AMD 's motherboard manufacturers are ready to run on it. This whole MS timetable thing is absolutely-fucking ridiculous.

  14. Re:Canned Air on Science Editors Urge Nondisclosure Of Bioterror Info · · Score: 1

    The gas in "compressed air" cans is by no means breatheable air. If you've been in a cube-sized office and sprayed about 1/3 of a can, you'll start feeling dizzy. I would know from experience. (That may or may not have caused me to loose IQ points ;)

  15. Re:Indeed, as this agreement shows on Intel, Red Hat Agree To BSD License For Intel Patches · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    OSS will soon embrace, extend and ultimately absorb closed source software into Open Source.

    Or if your name is Lord Borg Gates: Embrace, Extend, and Assimilate.

  16. Re:In the UK on The RIAA and MPAA Target Day-Job Downloaders · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I'm sure you have a 512 megabit-per-second connection. Nice typo ;)

  17. My questions is... on 70-Year-Old Prank Revealed · · Score: 1, Funny

    Are the Clampers related to the Clampets?

  18. Re:What's next? on Penny Black Project Investigates Sender-Pays E-mail · · Score: 1

    It would make business sense for them to charge money for people to access Windows Update. They could still provide free updates, but put them in hard-to-install format (ie the SQL server patch that blocked Slammer for those who installed it).

  19. What's next? on Penny Black Project Investigates Sender-Pays E-mail · · Score: 0, Troll

    Are they going to start doing a subscription service for Windows Update? Make you pay so if you want to apply patches the easy way(In IE I presume)?

    I am, but I have yet to hear of one returning to Earth with samples.

  21. My money says.. on Rand Expert Says To Keep Mum About Killer Asteroids · · Score: 1

    this guy is related to either W, Ashcroft, or both. You know, both of them behaving like Hoover and all.

  22. Howabout... on More on the Mars Ice Cap · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ..we find out the real story and send a probe to Mars/Europa/Whereever else to settle this indecisiveness. It's not that hard.

  23. Re:It's the Sound Card Support I'm Interested In on Mac OS X 10.2.4 Is Out · · Score: 1

    As a matter of fact, you could just buy a normal PC Soundblaster card, but you'd have to flash it with a ROM compatible with Apple's motherboard.

  24. Re:Interesting mix on SMP-Oriented Video Card Round-up · · Score: 1

    You do need to unlock them, but overclocking on Tyan's SMP boards is pretty damn hard, IMHO. And ill-advised.
