  1. Re:Be engineers better than MS's on Longhorn to be Released in 2006, Sans WinFS · · Score: 2, Informative

    Don't forget that Dominic Giampaolo is behind spotlight on the Apple team.

  2. Thanks MBU! on Anatomy Of A Bug In Microsoft Office · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Isn't it great that the Mac unit can show the Windows guys the right way to fix a bug?

  3. Re:Infinium's True Business Plan on Can Infinium Compete In The Game Console Market? · · Score: 1

    Since it's got a coax connector for the built in cable modem, shouldn't it have an rj11 connector for the built in dsl modem? The rj45 is for the network side of the modem, not the phone line side.

  4. Re:simple solution on Your Right to Travel Anonymously: Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    I'm against the killing of tuna by dolphin fisherman, myself.

    And yeah, I know dolphins are mammals.

  5. Re:Well, why would you trust them less than Apple? on Real Cuts Prices for DRM-Restricted Music · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Regarding option 2: How about the 4-500 CDs that I already owned before the iPod was invented?

    Those songs went on the iPod nicely without having to buy a thing.

  7. Re:And that, my friends... on DVD Player Maker's Margins just $1 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You, apparently, don't work in the manufacturing industry.

    I do. I produce my products in Southern California, even though I pay a huge penalty in wages and insurance and taxes to do so.

    One of my largest competitors is literally around the corner. His products are made in Taiwan/China.

    Even so, MY retail price is lower than his. And my '05 model products are already stocked on the shelf. If he's lucky, his are in a container on a ship waiting to get through customs.

    Your dollar isn't going any farther. It's just increasing somebody's profit rather than paying wages of my American neighbors.

  8. Re:Excellent advance on No Noise PC Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Sitting on the couch, watching TV, reach over and grab my iBook off the coffee table. Pop it open. It's on. No waiting. And it's quiet.

  9. Re:thats just the start of it. on Linux vs. Windows · · Score: 1

    Or is the bible not an authoritative source?

    Bingo.

    I'm sure some monkey got it, anyway. They always do.

  12. Re:I can't wait... on Linux Apps On Solaris · · Score: 1

    GNU's Now Unix.

  13. Bottom line... on Real Responds to Apple's Hacking Claims · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Who are the consumers going to be pissed off at when their Real-purchased music quits working on an updated iPod?

  14. Extra cash for all on Microsoft Wants More Credit for Inventions · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I used to work closely with an engineer from FANUC, and he claimed (heresay now) they each employee had to apply for a new patent each year. And those that had one awarded were treated well.

  15. Re:And James van Allen doesn't get it. on SpaceShipOne and Wild Fire to Go For the Gold · · Score: 1

    On my last trip to Vegas, I noticed quite a bit of empty land right here on earth.

  16. Re:Wow on Comdex Canceled For 2004 · · Score: 1

    Renting out a convention center and providing programs and conferences for the attendees can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    Working in the machine tool business, I worked shows at Westec a number of times. Our booth, along with power, water, carpet, etc. was several hundred thou.

    And there were many larger booths than ours.

  17. Re:How are SLES and RHEL toys? on Gentoo/PPC64 Beta Live CDs Released · · Score: 1

    Yeah! So I can upgrade from my G4 to something that's "not much slower than 32 bit and it works."

    me thinks I'll spend my wad on a side of beef and enjoy the summer.

  18. Re:Already in use on Hardened PHP · · Score: 1

    And what protection do you use for the hardened 'poke' traffic?

    STFU, this could be important!

  20. Re:headline on Novell Sued Microsoft Through Caldera? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Of course Novell did it. The way I read the article, Novell is suing because they didn't get a big enough of the cut.

    How could they sue without admitting to being the masterminds behind the deal?

  21. Re:Multi-engine aircraft on Compelling Alternatives to RAID Setups? · · Score: 1

    However, which would you rather be in, a twin engine aircraft that just lost one engine, or a single engine aircraft that just lost an engine?

    That depends, can the twin engine plane successfully land with only one engine running?

  22. Re:More zoom is better. on Reviews for Digital Camcorders? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Thanks for the .sig!

  23. Re:Absolutely wrong on Xbox 2 - The Price of Compatibility? · · Score: 1

    If you already own a Playstation, what possible benefit is there (aside from a marginal space savings) to having the PS2 be backwards compatible?

    The PS2 gets connected to my big tv, and the PSone goes into the kids play room. Right next to my old vcr, and connected to my old tv, with my older dish receiver on it. We can share tv, movies, and video games with ease.

    Please, the way HD technology rolls along, they're just getting their first 2400bps modem.

    But once you're in space, all that "I'm going to Mars" coolness that get's you laid is rendered void by the other people in your crew.
