    .. And the military busts down your front door for violating numerous FCC rules.

  4. Re:RDRAM vs. DDR on Rambus Wins Case Against Infineon · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "What holds back RDRAM in terms of price is that there isn't enough being sold." Exactly. Because the price is too HIGH for the average consumer. If there was a clear benefit to using RDRAM over DDR that *JUSTIFIIED* the price difference then consumers would choose to buy RDRAM. We have a free enterprise system. People will buy a product only when there is a net benefit to them. I suggest you read up on some elementary economics if you would like to understand a little bit more about why people don't buy overpriced products.

  5. That's correct.. on Red Hat Announces Product EOL Calendar · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They are a company afterall. You can't expect them to support all their products for an indefinite amount of time. They would go bankrupt!

  6. Dear Internet, on Attorney Sues eBay over Negative Feedback · · Score: 3, Funny

    I am suing you for the slanderous use of my name when exploding in emotion while experiencing blue screens of death, spam from Alan Rasky, and those lovely pop-up ads :)

  7. The REAL important question is.. on Phantom Game Console · · Score: 1

    Can you mod it so that it can run Linux? :)

  8. Re:My university does this. on Plan for Spam, Version 2 · · Score: 1

    I atttend Dalhousie University here in Halifax, Canada. Our NOC implemented a spam filtering tool ( I think SpamAssasin ) and it marks emails that it believes to be spam, by adding an "X-Is-Spam" SMTP header to the email. Anyone who wants to use this can then just add a corresponding rule in procmail. Lee

  9. Great Stuff! Hope to see more on Plan for Spam, Version 2 · · Score: 1

    Hopefully we see even more stuff like this coming out of the spam conference

  10. Volunteer on Upgrading Training and Certification? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Perhaps try seeing if you can get a non-profit organization to go along with you. They provide some of the hardware, and you 'learn on the fly'?

  12. Re:You people are absolutely intriguing on Indian Government Moves to Let Linux In · · Score: 0

    "India is no different, and I strongly advise them to buy an already working package for a fair price rather than tinkering with projects that are 20% complete and may never be more than halfway finished."

    What is this elvish spell that decieves my eyes? I believe the terms "working package for fair prices" and Microsoft software are pretty much mutually exclusive :)

  13. Re: I don't normally respond to trolls but.. on Indian Government Moves to Let Linux In · · Score: 0

    Here's a piece of advice for you to hopefully follow:

    Please don't procreate :)

    Not as long as you think.. a quick walk thru the links and I came across 2 shared mp3s :)

    So is their source code available as open-source? :)

  16. Re:Already happens? on Mining Metals Using Plants and Trees? · · Score: 0

    Uhm. Arsenic is one of the basic elements. The only way you can 'morph' it into something else, is by changing the atom structure.. something that most? all? biological organisms could never do.

  19. ^Troll above^ on Passenger Profiling: CAPPS II · · Score: 0

    Save yourself the time of replying to this AC's comments. Thankfully we have evolution, which among other things, is designed to weed out AC's such as above.

  20. ASP IS NOT A LANGUAGE! on Get Your Moto On · · Score: 0

    It is a technology. Even I consider myself pretty partial to the Microsoft platforms at times, but this comment is just going too far. VBScript and JScript are languages, Active Server Pages is not. Thank god we have C# and real Visual Basic compiled code now instead.

  23. Wrong. on Shattering Windows · · Score: 1

    IIS runs as IUSER_ NOT as the System account, and it has done this for years. The default install of SQL Server 2000 runs as a normal Domain user account NOT LocalSystem.
