  1. Re:I'll take the Ph.D., thank you on Too Few American Scientists? Maybe Not · · Score: 1

    But how about on the business end of things. Isnt' it good to have a suit who wants to make a good profitable company and a good product/service rather than some money driven person who would sell anything to make a quick buck. There are a few who do, but then again there are a lot of people out there who couldn't give a rats ass about what the company is doing so long as the profit is there.

  2. Re:The new hardware is sexy too on Tiger Slideshow: Pretty Mac OS X Pictures · · Score: 1

    50fps!?!? Wow, i'd have to see proof of that!!!!!!!!!

  3. Linux is about choice..... on Linux Users Are Spoiled · · Score: 5, Insightful

    As far as i know, there is no legal agreement between manufacturers and distributions and software vendors that disallow a competitors application to be installed as well. I believe this is the entire problem with the wintel world. For example, dell cannot ship a dual boot system, nor can they ship firefox on the windows platform. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  19. Last MSN messenger feature request... on Worst Explanation From Tech Support? · · Score: 1

    I wanted that ICQ feature where you can send a message to an offline contact. So I made a request using the appropriate channels etc..

    The messenger feature Request: "You should be able to send messages to a contact who is offline".

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Web Support.

    The MSN support staff has forwarded your request for assistance with your messenger issues to Microsoft Product Support Services.

    I understand that you are unable to sign into messenger for windows 95 and apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced.

    For Microsoft to deliver the highest quality of support possible, it is necessary to expire support for discontinued products and apply those resources to the support of the latest developments and technologies that Microsoft has to offer.

    The type of easy that regular users can find everything in a snap or the kind of easy with big shiny icons that n00bs still have problems with?
