  2. Use 7-zip on New Winzip in the Works · · Score: 1
    7-zip
    p7zip

    It has a simple gui interface and explorer integration. It supports many archive file formats including 7z, ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, GZIP, BZIP2, Z, TAR, CPIO, RPM and DEB. There is also a UNIX commandline interface port available.

  3. slashdotted on FedEx Cracks Down on Box Furniture, Citing DMCA · · Score: 3, Funny

  6. Re:diffs? on An Early Taste of OpenSUSE · · Score: 1

    I understand the argument against Fedora Core, but why did they even mention Ubuntu? I thought end users are definitely their focus. Am I wrong?

  7. Re:Acronyms on POSSE Rides With Linus during OSCON · · Score: 1

    OMG!

  8. less assertive on Clickers Redefining Classrooms · · Score: 1

    Is it a coincidence that clicker is a euphemism for pussy?

  9. class action status on Astrologer Sues NASA Over Comet Probe · · Score: 1

    Why didn't she file for class action status? This potentially altered everyone's horoscopes.

  10. seperation? on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 1

    What ever happened to the seperation of Senate and Jedi?

  11. Re:Microsoft vs. Sun on Java to Appear in Next-Gen DVD players · · Score: 1

    It is also Microsoft vs Sony. Microsoft is backing HD-DVD to try to cut into Sony's next-gen console sales. This might make up for the fact that Microsoft isn't shipping either format with thei next-gen console. So , its Microsoft vs Sun, Microsoft vs Sony... its really just Microsoft vs the world.

  12. Re:Great! (Not) on Java to Appear in Next-Gen DVD players · · Score: 1

    Nah, Windows Mobile is probably what Microsoft will put on the HD-DVD players.

  13. Re:more extensions on Xorg and Desktop Eyecandy · · Score: 1

    Isn't X11 just the core protocol? They'll change the HTTP protocol before X11 changes. Standards are a good thing. You can add a lot without breaking compatibility by using extensions.

  14. how is this useful? on Cringely Shows How to Get Free Cell Calls · · Score: 1

    SkypeOut costs money. Your cell phone basically just becomes an extension of the free level of Skype service. And on top of that you have to pay money for the cell phone. You are better off just using the cell phone as it was intended to be used. That is unless you are going to do something coll with the Skype part like AOTS's DittyBot.

  15. Yes, but... on Ars's Skeptical Take on Wired's NextFest · · Score: 3, Funny

    do the dolphins have lasers?

  16. It is the perfect gift.. on Amazon's 1,082-volume Classics Collection: $7,989 · · Score: 1

  17. Re:It's just business on 10 Percent of UK Sites Incompatible with Firefox · · Score: 0

    So basically, Mozilla Firefox still needs more market share.

  18. Re:In case we lose the article due to slashdotting on First Look at Apple's Intel Developer Macs · · Score: 1

    Or just maybe, its a frickin typo.

  19. other media players on Apple Sued Over iTunes UI · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that Contois could have made similiar claims against a lot of other media players, including iTunes clones like Rhythmbox.

  20. Re:All bets are off... on Bram Cohen's Response to Microsoft's Avalanche · · Score: 1

    Microsoft will need to finish, refine, and check their facts about the product with which they are competing.
    Does Microsoft ever do this properly?

  21. book deal on Hunting for Botnet Command and Controls · · Score: 1

    THey should write a book about this. It will be like a modern day Cuckoo's Egg.

  22. Re:author is well known on Open Solaris Derivative Available · · Score: 1

    I like that he is now acting on this opinion of linux. I would bet this is an attempt to get people on OpenSolaris so that people will see how much better cdrtools work on that platform. I don't know relaly, but maybe that is what he is thinking. And I respect that. If you think your operating system of choice is better than Linux, you should make it has easy to try has a Linux LiveCD. This is the way to go. You shouldn't bitch about it to Forbes magazine. That is bad.

  23. Re:Weird.. on Google Maps Now Cover Whole World · · Score: 1

    Obviously Google is planning to buy Belgium and the Netherlands and switch them. They are getting close to running out of ideas of what to do with all that money.
