  1. Re:What they need ar auctions on Google's Next Steps · · Score: 1

    only problem is they work in pairs so one scammer account lists and another buys. Each get one feedback per transaction and one gets a seller feedback.

  2. Re:Deciding how important the Net is to your busin on A Need for Greater Cybersecurity · · Score: 1

    It managers have bosses who want Kazaa, etc. and have the power to get it. So the breaches will always be there.

  3. Re:Definitely needs a non-commercial Windows licen on Interview With Trolltech's CEO and CTO Eirik Eng · · Score: 1

    Yea, it cost them a user. I am doing GUI stuff for school and i had to choose between qt and wxWindows. i was going to use qt, but it isn't free, so wxWindows it is.

  4. Re:Eating in France on When Does Usability Become a Liability? · · Score: 1, Funny

    bad idea. They'll surrender the country to you and do you reallly want to be responsible for France? Unless you happen to really like wine, it's a lose-lose situation.

  5. Re:Why not laptops? on Rack Mounted PCs for the Home User? · · Score: 1

    try ebay. I saw some nice laptops without displays. Or even call a manufacturor/store and see if they could help you out.

    I'm currently running a laptop as a personal server ad it frees up a lot of space since it just sits in thee pile of networking gear with DLS modem, hub, and router.

  6. Re:Consider Emulation on Rack Mounted PCs for the Home User? · · Score: 3, Informative

    VPC and VMWare create system images, so anything you do in the virtual system will only affect that system and it's disk image (a file on teh real system). No more dangerous. They are not emulators at all, you create a system image, install an os on it, hook it up to the network and it's just like a different computer. Except cheaper. Much cheaper. And i think you can have multiple systems open at once.

  7. Re:Artists: This is your cue: on RIAA's Nasty Easter Egg · · Score: 1

    of course. I meant it's easier to get space at iTunes than Tower Records or WalMart.

  8. What they need ar auctions on Google's Next Steps · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Ebay is full of scammers and the feedback system is horribly broken since scammers can pad their own feedback, but if you leave them negative, they will leave you negative feedback as well as revenge. Somebody needs to come up with a better system and google has the ability to actually make a better system popular.

    just the $.02 of someone sick of browsing pages of scams to find a dvd.

  9. Re:Happens all the time on Intel Potentially Reverse-Engineered AMD64 · · Score: 1

    Wait.. If, as you say, half on engineering is reverse-enginerring and, as everyone knows, half of engineering is wasting time with AutoCad, when is the actual engineering done?

    try the Soulseek p2p network.

  11. Re:So? on Intel Potentially Reverse-Engineered AMD64 · · Score: 1

    the big thing is that Intel copied AMD, not the other way around. That's huge.

    AMD should buy Transmeta to have a better mobile line and then they could really challenge Intel in the OEM market.

  12. Re:Artists: This is your cue: on RIAA's Nasty Easter Egg · · Score: 1

    But it won't be as hard to get space in online stores. The artists can cover the cost of storage on servers to eliminate all the risk for the store. It won't be much.

    I still have ... Real products on my PC. Is it really that bad?

    That's pretty darn bad.

  15. Re:Remember deCSS? on PlayFair Pulled Due to DMCA Request · · Score: 1

    bah. FairPlay is good for Apple since more people will buy music knowing they can crack it. But they have to keep their deal with RIAA, so they have to C&D it. They're not sutpid, they're doing what they must. And i think it works out best for them anyway.

  16. Re:Double Taxation? on Are You Reporting Your Internet Purchases? · · Score: 1

    Apple charges sales tax since they have stores in your state. Therefore, you have already paid the tax.

    Why? Just curious.

  18. A neighborhood in atl has that on Stoplights to Mete Out Punishment? · · Score: 1

    it doesn't work since everybody speeds cancelling out th other direction. Also, if you're going fast enough, you can easily make it even before it turns red.

  19. Seems pretty benign on New Windows Vulnerability in Help System · · Score: 1

    In order to exploit the help system, would the user need to dl and execute a help file? Once you can get a user to dl and execute something there isn't actually a need for a vulnerability and it's beyond what the OS can reasonably deal with.

    I see you drive Fords as well.

  21. Re:Doesnt Apple do the same thing? on Microsoft Clips Longhorn · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The difference is that MS is a monopoly and has been convicted of being a monopoly in the couts system. But the bigger difference is that ms sell an OS and Office suite. Apple sells an entire package. It's not Illegal for GM to make you buy a GM engine with your GM car. It would be, however, if we bought cars in pieces to assemble, there was only one engine company, and they made you but their body even theough there are other body companies.

  22. Re:WTF?!?! on Microsoft Clips Longhorn · · Score: 1

    one thing we have going for us is that many of the masses don't trust ms with their credit card. while this is one thing they actually don't need to worry about, it'll hurt any ms attempts to start a music store.

    Why would anyone choose it over the Xserve?

    IBM sells complete buisness "somutions." Their hardware is part of the deal. If you're just shopping for hardware, you're not in IBM's target market. There is too much competition there.

  25. Re:Kudos? on Japanese Government Raids Intel Tokyo Offices · · Score: 1

    You can't believe this is in the interest of fair trade, not in Japan, where business has the government firmly wrapped around its little finger?

    I've already posted this elsewhere, but i want to point out that Japanese buisness does not have the government "wrapped around it's finger" like somne US companies do. That sounds negative. The japanese government and buisness work together as a team to promote Japan. Japan is economically communist (communist != totalitarian) and successful at it. Things work differnt over there.
