  1. Re:Good Move Microsoft!!!! on Microsoft to Disable Online Windows Activation · · Score: 1
    The only reason left to use windows is gaming. And even that is becoming less and less of a reason...

    In fact that is the only reason I have a Windows box. And with the games of today just serving as eye-candy (Doom 3)or treating paying customers like criminals (Half-Life 2), my Windows box mostly collects dust. Long live Mega-TF!!

  2. The Inq. on Gates tried to Blackmail Danish Government · · Score: 2, Informative

    I find The Inquirer to be humorously ironic (bordering on hypocritical) since they bash Microsoft and even refer to them as "The Vole", yet they use IIS/ASP.Net. Their Linux/FOSS articles are sparse at best, which obviously means they know squat about the subject.

  3. Re:College guys, beer, nachos and cheese... on NASA Proposes Warming Mars · · Score: 1

    Yea, but that kinda makes the whole proposition of building communities on Mars a stinky one. (I'm here all night, promise!)

  4. A little OT I know, but... on Microsoft Compares Windows And Linux · · Score: 1

    It brings up another interesting misperception that we see a lot when we do this comparative analysis between Unix and Linux, and often we hear customers and folks in the marketplace talk about -- that Linux is Unix.

    Straight from the belly of the beast. Doesn't get any better than that. So long SCO... Even your "loanshark" doesn't believe your lies.

  5. Couldn't resist... on AOL Canada To Offer VoIP · · Score: 0

    You've got mail, ay?

  6. Re:Linux on Tech Giants Bankrolling IP Hoarding Start-Up · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Is it any coincidence that all those companies (except maybe Apple and Google) detest FOSS and can't find any better way to compete with it?

  7. Re:That'll suffice on Japan's Newest Linux Supercluster: 13TB RAM · · Score: 0, Redundant

    And *maybe* Half-Life 2.

  8. pishaw... on Hot-Rodding A Bluetooth Adapter · · Score: 2, Funny

    Real geeks don't need instructions...

  9. Just an observation... on SCO Linux Licenses Could Increase In Price · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just because they may cost more doesn't mean they'll be worth more (as far as business value)... Don't sellers usually lower prices to get rid of inventory that doesn't sell well?

  10. Re:Funny? on MS Rails On Open Source, Appeals To Gov't Greed · · Score: 1

    The funny thing is that outlandish, shortsighted comments coming from Redmond such as this one still make news stories. Must be a slow day at TechWorld.

  11. FOAF? on PeopleAggregator - An Open Source Social Network · · Score: 1

    Fart On A Friend?

    OT I know, but couldn't resist.

  12. Somewhere... on Former FCC Chief Touts "Big Broadband" · · Score: 0, Funny

    Jack Valenti just swalled a half a bottle of Pepto Bismol...

  13. Cheaper prices on ATI PCI-Express Devices Revealed · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This does not bode well for those of us who just paid top dollar for the last generation of AGP cards.

    But it does bode well for those of us who want cheaper AGP Radeons.

  14. ahh, the irony... on Microsoft, Monocultures, Security FUD & Other Fun · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If I remember my computer history, wasn't Microsoft the alternative to the IBM monoculture? Now that IBM has embraced FOSS, they're the alternative to the Microsoft monoculture...

  15. Halfway there? on Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks · · Score: 1

    Now it's "opened source".

  16. This worked for me... on Best Way To Beat A Caffeine Addiction? · · Score: 1

    However, it takes quite a bit of persistance and even more will-power:

    Drink lots of water.

    That's it. It took about two weeks to beat the headaches, irritability, and lack of energy, but it's worth it. I have plenty of energy now, my complexion is better, and am able to concentrate much better. Plus I save quite a bit on drinks.

  17. maybe? on SCO Not Lying About DoS Attack · · Score: 4, Funny

    Maybe what it really means is Denial of Settlement.

  18. Re:Always Wondered on McBride Speaks, In Person And In Print · · Score: 1

    Not only that, but with each interview, he sounds more and more like a shyster used car salesman. Just an observation.

  19. All in all.... on Librarian of Congress Posts DMCA Exemptions · · Score: 0, Redundant

    It's a start...

  20. Re:Too easy on New Moon System Around Uranus · · Score: 1

    well if your anus was as big as Uranus, you probably would discover something orbiting it.

  21. Re:Oxymorons on Seeking a Solid Java Textbook? · · Score: 1

    especially from a StudMuffin.

  22. squashes worms?? on IBM's Billy Goat Squashes Worms · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm reporting you to PETA!! Oh wait, you mean computer worms...

  23. Re:Oh I get those on Sunday Newspapers, Now With CDs · · Score: 2, Funny

    FWIW, they make great (low cost)shotgun targets, coasters, and most people like getting them less than fruit cakes...

  24. strange... on Google Removes Links in Response to DMCA Complaint · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I thought Sharman Networks was incorporated in Australia. How can they use a foreign law like that?

  25. that was easy. on RIAA Tracking Songs by MD5 Hashes · · Score: 1

    Now may be the time to update your illegal mp3 file MD5 hash sums.

    Done.
