  1. Re:Grades on U.S. Agencies Earn "D" For Computer Security · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually they were using Linux (from netcraft.com Microsoft-IIS/6.0 25-Nov-2003 63.208.194.46) until they switched to 2003 server on 11/26/2003.

  2. age on Linux-powered Mobile Cocktail Mixer · · Score: 1

    "We are all 17/18 years old and still go to school." If only I could have been 17 and 18 and got to build a mixed drink machine with the parental unit's ok.

  3. Is SCO in violation of the DMCA? on McBride's New Open Letter on Copyrights · · Score: 1

    I'm not a lawyer but it seems to me that SCO is violating the DMCA for trying to circumvent the protections put on binary works covered by the GPL.

  4. Buy from us so we can spy on you! on Dell To Techs: Don't Help Customers Remove Spyware · · Score: 1

    The crazy thing is that DELL is adding this spyware on your computer!

    They want you to PAY them to spy on you!

    I am not ever going to buy a dell, unless they stop shipping ALL spyware with their systems.

    I am also going to make sure we stop buying dell at work and go with HP or IBM instead.

  5. How to stop MS on Microsoft Defies EU Commission · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    We need a new software program that does the following the following for MS Windows:

    Removes IE and outlook express then installs Mozilla
    Removes WMP then installs Winamp
    Removes wordpad then installs Open Office
    Removes paint and imaging and installs Gimp

    Then change the desktop to look alot like kde, this would help people move over to linux.
    (Popup ads and banners could say "Your software sucks, UPGRADE to open source today!")

    On the next release of windows, Website that support Linux and the FSF, OSI etc... could release web advertisments with the motto: "don't waste 300 dollars on the new Windows, download for Linux free or buy Linux for the cost of the CD."

  6. Re:Translated for the America-Impaired on Who Needs Radio? · · Score: 1

    NPR is crap if it wasn't for tax funding it wouldn't be on the air. No one wants to pay for that crap.

  7. TCO +99 MS on Microsoft Stops Development Of Outlook Express · · Score: 1

    LOL linux just got ~100 dollars cheaper. Now you have to buy an email client on top of an OS license.

    From the wildtangent website when I try to play a game: "The Web Driver currently only supports Windows-based operating systems. If you would like to access our content," {sic} Woohoo fun. I can't play.

  11. Re:This will never happen on Open Spectrum: Toward Ubiquitous Connectivity · · Score: 1

    I have no problem decoding morse code with my computer, even with high speed code. I wrote my own program that automatic spell checking to close the gaps between words. It's not rocket science. That is how I learned morse code.

  12. next virus on Sen Hatch Would Like To Destroy Filetraders' PCs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Instead of forwarding I love you to everyone in outlooks address book they will be sending a message to destroy computers. I guess Hatch doesn't think viruses are damaging enough. On a side-note would SCO be using this on AIX computers as you read this if the technology was in effect today?

  13. This will never happen on Open Spectrum: Toward Ubiquitous Connectivity · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The FCC won't go for it. knowing Morse code is still a requirement to use HF ham bands, even though you can now use a computer to code/decode it. See www.nocode.org
    I can't think of one positive the FCC has done for RF bandwidth in a long time. Why would they start with this?

  15. End users protection association on A Model End Vendor License Agreement · · Score: 4, Interesting

    We need a Better Business Bureau like association for EULA's. Where software companies can get their software certified and then being able to display a seal of approval on the packaging by having their EULA user friendly. There could be different levels of friendliness and reviews on software that didn't want to apply for certification.

  16. No Linux support on Trepia: A Buddy List Of Strangers · · Score: 1

    It's your video card. this is a known problem with ATI video cards. Either you have bad drivers or not enough video ram for the file you are editting.

  22. Gimp on Apple Responds to Adobe · · Score: 0, Troll

    There is a bigger reason why adobe is dropping support for the Mac. They can't compete with the features of the Gimp and realize in a few years, maybe sooner the Gimp will have more features. Why pay 500 dollars for a Photoshop when you can download the Gimp for free and pay a programmer 250 to add the feature that you need. It's half the cost..

    The Boy Scouts of Ameria should sue the Business Software Alliance and force them to change their name, kind of like what the World Wildlife Federation(Foundation?) did to the World Wrestling Federation which is now WWE.
