  1. If it can be read.. on Recording Industry Hopes To Hinder CD Burning · · Score: 1

    ..it can be copied. And even if I have to copy a copy...

  2. Free Market on Sun Says Hardware Will Be Free · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't think the free market, specially normal consumers, will like subscription based goods. They want to pay once and then own the thing they paid for, not pay all the time they use it. Even if you have to "buy it once again" every few years.

  3. Anandtech review on AMD's Socket 939, Athlon 64 FX-54 amd 64 3800+ · · Score: 4, Informative

    Review on Anandtech! (I like them for their print view:)

  4. Re:Nice... on First Looks At PCI-X, BTX, New Chipsets, And More · · Score: 1

    Ok, thank you for your clarification (though now I am confused about PCI-X and PCI Express, but I'll read the discussion about it:)
    Thanks!

  5. Re:Nice... on First Looks At PCI-X, BTX, New Chipsets, And More · · Score: 1

    Why only one PIC-X slot? Will these be like AGP - just one per board or is this just in the transistion phase? - Thanks!

  6. Re:nothing childish... on Programming For Terrified Adults? · · Score: 1

    Why does everyone seem to think that just because she's a mother she'd love funny sweet animations or a cuddly webpage about her pets? Perhaps she's really a geek-mum but just hadn't the possibility to prove herself!

  7. Between Solitaire and programming.. on Programming For Terrified Adults? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ..there are the endless worlds of interesting and expectant computer games. Introduce her to one of them and she'll continue learning about the handling of a computer.

  8. Re:Another one for the arms race... on DSPAM v3.0 RC1 Spam Filter Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Problem is many organisations aren't allowed not to deliver email which is probably spam. So they have to deliver it, probably only tagged (with an extra X-Header or some phrase added to the subject). I.e. people still receive spam they just have the possibility to trash it easier - which stupid people, i.e. people buying things advertised in spam emails, won't do anyway.
    Sucks, eh? :-/

  9. Re:There's no such word as "virii" on First IA64 Windows Virus Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just like hacker doesn't (only) mean hacker anymore but (also) means cracker. So stop the moaning about it, that's how language works, as the parent explained.

  10. What about.. on Oxfam Launches Music Download Service · · Score: 4, Informative

    ..a link to Oxfam, a development, advocacy and relief agency working to put an end to poverty world-wide?

  11. Interesting results on Calculate When You Are Most Awake · · Score: 1

    They told me I feel most awake while I am asleep. Cute.

    I don't know about you, but I know quite well myself when I am feeling sleepy and when not. What about you?

  12. OSS? on Indiana First With Computerized Grading · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is this program available under an open source licence? It sounds really interesting!

  13. Antitrust settlement on Google Experiments With Local Filesystem Search · · Score: 4, Funny

    Google should ask Microsoft for information it has to provide according to the antitrust settlement so that Google's own program can interoperate with Windows as good as Microsoft's!

  14. Great on Opera Settles $12.75m Lawsuit, But with Whom? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ..because even if they don't get enough paying customers they have more money again to continue developing the browser with the world's best user interface!

  15. Re:Already in use on Hardened PHP · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unfortunately mmcache isn't developed anymore, isn't it? :-/

  16. Re:Call Me Crazy But.... on Hardened PHP · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Think about web space providers, usually they can't really control which scripts are executed on their servers by the customers. PHP's safe mode is cute already, but this can be an additional layer of security.

  17. Not just privacy issues.. on RFID Implants for Spanish Revelers · · Score: 5, Interesting

    ..but counterfeiting/identity theft issues as well. If the RFID is readable that easily, I can just read of the wealthist customer's RFID and make one with his ID for myself. Voila, I'll have a drunken night at the club!

  18. Re:Novell owns Evolution?? on Novell To Release Ximian Connector Under GPL · · Score: 1, Informative

    When Novell bought Ximian.

  19. Re:Spam him back on Stopping Overseas Fax Spam? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Be aware of the fact that it will stay a one time annnoyance if you call it once today. Therefor write down the number on a post it note, stick it to your monitor and call them now and them every day!

  20. Re:Ah, Microsoft the benefactor. on Microsoft Allows Pirates to Install XP SP2 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Bullshit, they'd never ever get (successfully) sued. They have no obligation whatsoever to provide a pirate with updates to the pirated software.

  21. Used interface? on DSI Delivers up to 3GB/s with Solid State Disk · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What interface are they using? Even the fastest SCSI can't provide 3GB/s!

  22. Re:I can relate on Worms Jack Up the Total Cost of Windows · · Score: 4, Informative

    Here's the URL to order the Windows Security Update CD for free!

  23. Re:I can relate on Worms Jack Up the Total Cost of Windows · · Score: 1

    ..and after applying each patch don't forget the obligatory reboot ;-)

  24. Shows free GUI software's problem on TheOpenCD 1.4 Released · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you take a look at the screenshots of all the included apps you'll notice the many different sets of widgets. One uses native W32 widgets, the other one GNOME-style, the third one has own.. - this will only confuse the user and in my opinion shows a large problem free GUI software is facing today.

  25. Also take a look.. on TheOpenCD 1.4 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    ..at GNUWin II, a similar project.
