  1. Re:License protection? on Slashback: Mars, Linksys, Torrent · · Score: 1

    Just call it JBX. The X addition always means better.

  2. Re:All to run windows programs? on SuSE Linux Desktop 1.0 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    This is for 5 machines. So according to your numbers it would be $2605.00 versus $600.00.

  3. Re:Maybe I'm optimistic... on Running Linux On Acer's C100 Tablet PC · · Score: 1

    I speak with my wallet. Even though ATI have the most powerful cards atm, I can't use them, so Nvidia gets my money. Same with PC vendors, I would never buy a dell, because that would be spending extra for software I wouldn't use.

  4. Wow... on Senator Pushes Bill To Limit Anti-Copying Schemes · · Score: 4, Funny

    I am in total disbelief. Did they do a DNA check to make sure he isn't a replicant replacement?

  5. Re:What else are they supposed to do? on Ballmer Sends Wakeup Call to Staff · · Score: 1

    Cant someone make a plugin for MSOffice that allows native 100% accurate OO formats to open in it? And if someone complains that they can't open your file, point them to a site with the nescesary "update", which would be easy to install btw, and then they would forever be able to open your files. And if this plugin/patch spread, it could start to change the standard file format(make it have office select OO format as default, and tell user that others must update thier office with the program to be able to open the new format) Don't know if this is technically posible though.

  6. Re:Has anyone read the patent yet? on Microsoft Patents Interactive Entertainment · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the guide on my satellite reciever and its channel up/down and page up/down buttons. And I personally remember using this function since '96.

    Notice the falklands aren't there. I had an older version in which they were large and bright. But maybe that was during the war.

  9. Propaganda, by who? on North Korea's School For Hackers? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Even the Pentagon says North Korea's hacker academy is probably just propaganda by South Korea It could also be propaganda by the pentagon in trying to portray NK as not a threat to a jumpy American populous.

  10. Re:Maybe someone can help me out here... on DirecTV takes on PirateDen.com · · Score: 1

    That is nothing but artificial logic. If some company wants to use risky imperfect technology that is thier problem.

    Loosely related is right! They are essentially the adventures of one character, but their in totally different universes.

  12. Stolen, still valueble. on Phoenix Unveils Anti-Theft BIOS · · Score: 1

    Just swap out the motherboard for a new one and use all the other components. A new MB without need for any other components wouldn't cost much.

  13. World peace? on E.U. Agrees To Launch Galileo Satellite Location System · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Good thing for commercialization of space, or bad thing for world peace? And how is the EU having thier own GPS system a threat to world peace? Maybe if your a paranoid mountain hermit, and if the world to you is the USA. I for one trust the EU as peacekeepers more than just about any powerful organization out there.

  14. Re:Nvidia linux support. on ATI vs. NVIDIA: ATI Steals the Show · · Score: 1

    Yeah, looks like they do. Now if only they would have drivers ready for when a new card launches, cause it doesn't look like the 9800 has any drivers in near sight. And also, how does it's linux drivers compare to it's windows ones? Do they take as full advantage of the hardware? For example my Geforce2 has BETTER performance and quality in linux than it does in windows, and I've never heard any claims that the ati drivers for linux can even compare to the windows ones. Maybe I'm just evangalizing with my wallet here, but I will buy the hardware of whoever looks like they support linux the best. Ati may improve it's support later, but right now Nvidia seems far more commited to linux. I encourage ATI to one up nvidia in linux support, and I will gladly buy thier hardware if or when.

  15. Nvidia linux support. on ATI vs. NVIDIA: ATI Steals the Show · · Score: 1

    I will stick with Nvdia as long as it continues it's official linux drivers. The hacked ati ones don't get nearly as much of the performance out of the hardware as the official nvidia ones do.

    If XUL can be this fast cross platform, it should be used more often imho.

  22. Re:Why single out SDI? on Software Bug Causes Soyuz To Land Way Off · · Score: 1

    1 nuke on a large millitary target would have been quite enough. And if in the off chance it wouldn't have been, then nuke another MILLITARY target. Nuke apologists are of the same essential breed as holocaust deniers. Heck even a nuke in plain site in the ocean near a large city would have scared them into surrender.

    Your favorite software monopoly. Seriously though, they sure seem like thier trying hard to stem the adoption of linux, but resistance is futile. The open source collective is unstoppable.

    I think Stalinist russia is a diffrent scenario than the USA. And of course a losing country would have been pretty likely to use it, but the US was WINNING, and they used TWO bombs, and on CIVILLIAN targets.
