  1. My personal opinion on Should Sun Just Fold Now? · · Score: 1

    I really like sun, I love the hardware and, I love the software. It is the best UNIX system money can buy, yes, money, somthing you have to spend to get a nice product. I still don't see why /. seems to have SUN so much.

  2. Re:Congrats, Apple on iTunes One Year Anniversary Sparks Comparison · · Score: 1

    can anyone tell me if it that is real/fake? it looks so real, but I can't see much fakeness in it, I dont' have my glasses on, so I can't see anything anyways, are they fake?

  3. Re:Sophistry on SimChurch · · Score: 0

    Yes, but the thesits are not trying to prove anything to anyone, god comes in faith, not proof. If you don't have a faith in a god, then quit your whining.

  4. Re:This is not just for laughs on SimChurch · · Score: 1

    When was the last time you went to a rural area without a small church? It doesn't take massive amounts of money and resources for people to get together and join a congregation and talk/pray about god. A church can be a group of people who meet up every sunday at so in so's house.

    Simple, with DDoS. But you'd end up going to hell.

  6. Wait a minute... on Free Optimizing C++ Compiler from Microsoft · · Score: 0, Insightful

    It isn't April 1st anymore. We all know Microsoft wouldn't give dog shit for free, much less a compiler.

  7. so what on Rack Mounted PCs for the Home User? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I got a rackmount enclosure and some rackmount equipt, it's awsome despite the markups, find a good deal on eBay. My ProLiant 5000R and 24 port switch has all the guys at the lug envying me.

  8. Firmware on Use Multiple Channels for Faster Wireless Networking · · Score: 0

    It seems like a fairly good idea, but also vary expensive to upgrade everyone. It seems it might be able to work if it was able to be done via a firmware upgrade though. For all major routers (Airport/Linksys/Dlink) and their fellow cards. I think the best thing todo is to make an airport card that fits the normal slot, and pccard ones from linksys/etc that are able to be upgraded by firmware, with expandable hardware. 802.11b is almost set in stone because the costs of upgrading are just too high.

  9. Re:Late! on AOL to Give Away Spammer's Porsche · · Score: 1

    What they do is find all the karma whores by seeing who copies who's post to get karma. I hear it is on purpose, notice the text is the same too I believe.

  10. Old News on Auto-Censoring DVD Player · · Score: 1

    I've seen things like this that go in one end of the coax/rf plug, and it claims to filter all the naughty words/etc. I've also seen this at walmart.

  11. Re:Looks just like the Apple Pro Keyboard on Apple Extended Keyboard Lives Again · · Score: 1

    Well, the keys do bow in instead of out, unless they changed the apple pro keyboard. I always thought they should bow in like most pc-oriented keyboards, but never knew why.

  12. Re:What was hypercard? on HyperCard Gone for Good · · Score: 1

    Kinda like Visual Basic except for the mac?

  14. Sorry wrong link on MandrakeSoft Exits Bankruptcy · · Score: 1

    That is http://www.mandrakeworks.com/ looks like stuff for enterprise business done through a third party or somthing. Anyone else hear of MandrakeWorks?

  15. Mandrake and Hardware on MandrakeSoft Exits Bankruptcy · · Score: 1

    It looks like a vendor is starting to sell blade servers like IBM's with Mandrake Linux installed exclusivly. http://www.mandrakesoft.com Looks like mandrake is really starting to broaden their horizon too.

  16. They may be out of bankruptcy, BUT on MandrakeSoft Exits Bankruptcy · · Score: 5, Informative

    they have debt to pay off for the next 9 YEARS. That is almost as long as Linux has been around. Who knows what it will be like in 9 years since it is so far away in computer time. The french chapter 11 is a lot differnet than filing bankruptcy in America when you just don't have to pay your bills after you are done with it.

    Yeah, potasium iodide, they are saying it keeps radiation out of your system for X amount of dollars, like this: http://www.nukepills.com/

  18. Re:Soaking up the gamma on Latest Chernobyl Motorcycle Photos · · Score: 1

    Isn't there a pill of some sort of pill you can take to keep radiation from entering your body for a certain amount of time? I think I saw it on some NBC post 9/11 special. Anyhow, does anyone know of a site giving the history of chenobyl? I am wondering what happend that day, and what it was like. Was it a fire that spread into an explosion? Was it a chemical reaction that dumped somthing into the water? I think it's a shame since it keeps us from using nuclear energy, which can be clean and efficiant.

    I wonder how he got a hold of a G5 case when apple keeps such strict and tight hold of spare parts like that.

  20. I feel the problem is on PayPal Settles NY Probe, But Faces Others · · Score: 1

    PayPal seems so "blank-faced" like an automated-everything. No 800 number or real person to talk to directly if you ever need help. Like when ChatSpace wouldn't tell me who their CEO was, since it was "confidential". All companies need to be alert, and communitive with their clients, not all restrictive, locked down, and "behind closed doors".

    Maybe you are getting a BSOD, windows 2000 by default will reboot instead of showing a Blue screen unless you change it in your system preferences.

  23. Bhutan on MIT Professor Michael Hawley · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I used to host IRC Chat for Bhutan before we got DDoSed to death. Really nice people, some egg heads too. Aside from the "Wanna chat?" guys asking for 16 year old girls, it's a nice place with alot of smart people.

    A comparable powerbook would be better, more reliable, run a real os, and have guarenteed support, and would have a well known large community for help, etc, etc, etc.

  25. Help setting this up on Two Spam Filters 10 Times As Accurate As Humans · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I would love to rtfm, but I want a fairly simple answer to this, how can I do a 30 minute job of integrating this into the mozilla mail client, or does it have to be tied into the server itself? I was wondering if this was a quick, easy fix, or if it is an all weekend type of project. While I'm on the subject of mail, what is a good all in one mail bundle with webbased interface that isn't opengroupware or ms exchange for php/apache under unix?
