    We'll I don't know. I still get PC magazine, but it seems like the quality of articles might have something to do with it. The reviews seem to be more biased now.

    He wasn't worried about going to jail but was worried about his job? Could he work from jail? Something is up with this. HP is beginning to smell funny.

    M$, open up some of your source code. That might help.

    Amazing interview. He didn't always answer the questions and I didn't always agree, but it was very interesting still.

  11. Re:Um. on U.S. Developing 100-Kilowatt Laser for Strike Fighters · · Score: 1

    -- I have a question: how practical is this, really? The article tells us that you get two four-second shots, spaced four seconds apart, and the laser then needs 30 seconds to cool down. This is hardly what I'd call a practical battlefield weapon, especially given the modern war methodology of one well-coordinated, completely overwhelming attack. Why use a laser with such poor fire times? --

    Maybe it is for dog fighting. You only get a couple of shots but it has to be an accurate one and has the added benifit of being faster than any enemy missle. The targeting has to be near perfect for this to work though.

  12. Police Power on MPAA Requests Immunity to Commit Cyber-Crimes · · Score: 1

    This is dangerous. This law would give police power to a cartel? I know the polititions are bought off, but are elections rigged too? This can't be the best way to get votes.Surely the congress will wake up and wont be that stupid to pass this silly law.

    The site has been semi slashed. Reading now. OK. Sounds like a long shot to mee. The courts haven't helped before. Why should they now? We need to get this thing repealled in it's present form.

  16. Re:CNN has a story on Gates Tries to Explain .Net · · Score: 1

    The rest of the article says this:

    --"This makes Xbox the first videogame system ever to have three million-unit-selling launch titles after just eight months on the market."--

    Something to think about. It's the games that matter and like it or not, they are off to a fast start. That hard drive thing costing more may hurt them but I doubt it.

  18. Re:PC Competition on HP: Rival Printers Mean No More HPs Through Dell · · Score: 1

    Lexmark is everyones guess, but I'm pulling for epson. They would jump at the chance to gain market share over HP. The dark horse is that Dell itself has something ready or they wouldn't have told the world (i.e. HP, Epson) their plans. Dell does play hard ball. Maybe they have some secret deal hatched in India to make printers for half of what everone else pays. Just a thought but it is very competitve in the PC buisness.

    Or...

    If you do use all of the value on the card you are probably going to end up spending more than you intended. Iguess this could apply to ink too.

    How would that reason alone help them sell more printers? It would help them sell more computers though.

  22. Re:PC Competition on HP: Rival Printers Mean No More HPs Through Dell · · Score: 1

    Yes and No. They couldn't really afford to do this before the merger. Now that the combined companies now move them to the number one spot, HP thinks it can afford to do this. Compaq's and HP's will come with genuine HP printers, but anyone else will have to pay a higher price.

    I think this will benifit HP in the short term but not in the long term, especially if Dell can make a decent printer.

  23. PC Competition on HP: Rival Printers Mean No More HPs Through Dell · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That is because with HP's purchase of Compaq, they are in direct competition with Dell with the PC. Now I wonder who will be next. HP is just shooting itslef on this one. Do they really want Dell to get pissed at them and start making inkjet printers with cheaper ink?
