  1. Re:Yay democracy! on FBI Can Inspect Bank Records w/o Court Orders · · Score: 1

    they're not apathetic or uninformed, they're out for personal power. Stupid can be fixed, evil cannot.

  2. The terrorists have already won on FBI Can Inspect Bank Records w/o Court Orders · · Score: 4, Insightful

    As long as the supposed terrorist threat is enough that people will allow this stuff to happen, the terrorists are winning.

    Don't vote for any representitive who voted for this law. If enough people do, they'll get the picture. The new guy may not be any better, but at least he'll be worried about re-election. The to parties are so similar it doesn't really matter weather a republican or democrat gets electd, so vote against incumbants that sign this shit.

  3. What have WE forgotten on SCO - What have WE Forgotten? · · Score: 1

    That's really not a word you want to spell wrong.

  5. Apple isn't competing with Apple on Rumors of iPod mini, 100 Million Songs, Xserve G5 All True · · Score: 1

    Remember, the iPod mini is to compete with flash players of comparable size and price. it's not a good deal, but niether are its competetors. If you decide to buy a big iPod instead, that's perfectly fine with Apple. Tey still make money. in fact they might want you to think "Hmm, i was gonna buy this rio POS for $200, but i can get a mini iPod for only $50 more, but the real ipod is more than 3x as big and only costs $50 more than the mini. i'll get one of those then" and you end up giving apple $300. Steve is happy.

    Was it Pepsi? Sounds like they'll be spending a lot at iTumes soon.

  7. Re:Don't be suckered by the trendyness on Rumors of iPod mini, 100 Million Songs, Xserve G5 All True · · Score: 1

    I think apple has a program with APC for UPS's (i'm not kiddin) so yes it does have a battery and you can use it as an MP3/AAC player. It plays OGG too(now i am kiddin).

  8. Re:Mixed? No...disappointed on Rumors of iPod mini, 100 Million Songs, Xserve G5 All True · · Score: 1

    for example, nobody would be able to use an iPod the size of a Tic Tac, and almost everybody who tried would probably lose it within a week of buying one.

    OH SHIT! I ate my mp3 player.

  11. Re:Get over it on Windows 98 Phased Out · · Score: 1

    on a corporate network with patches applied and firewalls, xp is fine. That's what it was designed for. In a home connected directly to the net (which is what the OP meant by open network) it is not. Just let the numbers sopeak for themselves. And being able to hit cance and log in isn't an issue except locally and any machine can be compromised if one has local access.

  12. Re:Get over it on Windows 98 Phased Out · · Score: 1

    Except w98 is safer on an open network than XP. A nuiscense to deal with, but less vulerable to every gaddamn worm ou there.

  13. Re:*shrug* on Windows 98 Phased Out · · Score: 1

    if it'll run, use a bsd. Otherwise use gentoo and build binary packages (remember march=i586) on another, faster box

  14. Re:Well... on Windows 98 Phased Out · · Score: 4, Funny

    OSX doesn't run too good on most machines that currently run 98. Something about a power something, or maybe a G something, i forget ;).

    My Apex DVD player still works great.

  16. Re:Bulk purchasing clout is needed... on Who Wants to be the Next Dell? · · Score: 1

    Windows comes "free" with the computer. If people had to actually pay for windows, linux would be huge. (Admittadly, becasue it's also better).

    Smoke pot. It'll make the headaches go away and isn't addictive.

  20. Leave them alone on Jodrell Bank Telescope Gets No Signal From Beagle · · Score: 1

    If the Martians wanted to talk to us, they'd have answered our radio communications long ago. It's not nice to then send probes, and once they start shooting them down, the message is pretty obvious. So leave them alone.

    No, you're confused. The riaa MAKE laws, they don't FOLLOW them.
