  1. GPS... on Military Tech: GPS and Networking · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I always thought the concept of GPS was cool, my Magellan works fine for me and its nice to see our men and women on the frontlines using this technology

    Now if they only went to Linux....

  2. bright side on AOL Tests Video Instant Messaging · · Score: 1

    Look on the bright side, if this catches on people won't lie about their age (unless theyre the mass percentage that doesn't have a webcam, doesn't want one, or cant put it on their computer)

    just my 2 cents worth...

  3. hmm on Fujitsu To Ship Linux Powered Robot in July · · Score: 1

    This seems like an intresting robot...is it the first comercial robot to run on Linux? At least they won't charge extra for the properitary OS..or maybe they will...

  4. Re:Scam on Red Hat 9 To Be Released March 31 · · Score: 1

    Why don't you put your own username instead of being an anonymous coward? Why don't you bug off and do something actually productive rather than shooting people down?

  5. Re:Scam on Red Hat 9 To Be Released March 31 · · Score: 1

    Linux ISOs were free once upon a time, it was called open source and the free software foundation. Yes, I know, the GNU document said you can charge money for distros but charging money for a download is absurd. In my opinion all the P2P pay services will fail miserably, XM and sirius arent doing so hot..why pay 9.99 a month for satelite radio when the trusty FM or CDs will do fine?

    thats just my opinion...

  6. well put argument... on Red Hat 9 To Be Released March 31 · · Score: 1

    This is what a friend of mine had to say:

    "RH is getting caught up in the "one up trap". Companies are trying so hard to be the "newest and best" that they are releasing broken software just to "get it to market". Look back at any of the latest software from anyone. Has there been anything so "revised" that warrents a full digit upgrade or even a .x upgrade? Even Adobe has fallen into this trap releasing 2+ versions of photoshop in a short time"

  7. Re:hmmm on Red Hat 9 To Be Released March 31 · · Score: 1

    whoops, my bad, i goofed. i meant to say 7.3....but the point is this (my friend said this regarding the red hat release)

    i think its a pretty good argument...

  8. hmmm on Red Hat 9 To Be Released March 31 · · Score: 1

    I wonder why they did that...they did skip from 7.2 to 8 if i'm not mistaken...hopefully they didnt change gnome and kde again...

  9. Re:And me on Technologies that Have Exceeded Their Expectations? · · Score: 1

    Well, i meant a general everyone....naturally the whole planet doesn't have one, but theres a lot more people than there used to be..

  10. Cell phones on Technologies that Have Exceeded Their Expectations? · · Score: 1

    When they first started out in bags, I had no way of knowing they'd end up the size of a deck of playing cards and smaller with pictures and games. Now EVERYONE has one...

  11. get this straight... on HDTV via GNU Radio · · Score: 2, Insightful

    let me see if i understand this correctly...

    they can intercept HDTV signals without the expensive set-top box...but what is stopping them from recording it? its copywritten material, but is it being released into public domain?
