  1. dammit! on Cable TV A La Carte? · · Score: 1

    ALL.. the ONLY channels that I want are the Sci-Fi & Cartoon Channel!

  2. Microsoft will help them.... on Transmeta Needs Microsoft · · Score: 1

    As long as they agree to stop pushing Linux. IF not they may just buy transmeta...

  3. send your bugs to.. on Submitting Bug Reports To Open Source Projects? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well you should really be sending your bug reports to HP. That way they'll be fixed....

  4. Re:This is good news, but costs far outweigh benef on Toyota to Move to All Hybrid Vehicles By 2012 · · Score: 1

    Even if this is correct (and some ppl seem to think it should be a little cheaper).. the price will go down a whole ton when ALL Toyotas ship with the batteries... That's a main part of the reason they are switching... cost

  5. Re:Nothing special... on Beautiful Case Modding · · Score: 1

    I agree... this case mod sucks..

    I really liked the Brak show. Hopefully I'll be able to get it on dvd some day! And NO I didn't read the article... Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access 97 Driver] Too many client tasks. //global.asa, line 33

  7. This just goes to proove my assertion... on Microsoft: You Need Permission to Sell Our Software · · Score: 1

    Miscrosoft is the great Satan that Nostradamus predicted would rise to power in the 80's. ;-P *Believe it or not*

  8. Re:Not a troll on Darwin 6.0.2 for x86 Released · · Score: 1

    BS... that certainly wasn't a troll. I have the same question.. What's good about it and if we are using Linux why would we consider switching...

  9. Wooo hooo!!! on Stargate SG-1 Gets A Seventh Season · · Score: 1

    Since I don't have cable, this is the best show on TV other than re-runs of the nanny! ;-) No really... I do like SG1 even though it is a little silly at times. I really think their super acurate P90's rule..........

  10. Blame the victims? Where are the regulators? on Abiword's PayPal Donation Fund Robbed · · Score: 1

    Certainly... let's blame the victim here.. That's so asenine. In a capitalist society we should have a reasonable expectation of security when working with businesses like this. The problem isn't with people using the service, the prople is that our Government no longer has the balls to enforce our laws. Should we blame everyone who invested in Enron for being stupid? Our government better start acting very soon here or people are going to start to loose confidence in the system?

  11. Questions? on Abiword's PayPal Donation Fund Robbed · · Score: 1

    Ok I have a few questions: 1. Should I be worried about people stealing money from my bank account using paypal if I have an un-guessable password? 2. Do I just need to work about the money currently in my PayPal account? 3. Are there any viable alternatives to PayPal? 4. How could paypal change to make them a good solution? I think that's all I have questions about. Thanks in advance for the help and don't destroy me if these are dumb questions...

  12. Re:Big mistake on Xandros 1.0 · · Score: 1

    As much as I think people SHOULD pay for Linux, I agree with you. It's too bad they don't have an introductory period so that people could try their initial version for free. Hey Xandros... how bout you sell the desktop version for $20 for a month just this version?

  13. That's funny... on Ballmer Sees Free Software as Enemy No. 1 · · Score: 3, Funny

    I've always considered Microsoft my #1 enemy... I'm glad they feel the same way...

  14. Well for $16 for two tickets and ... on Star Wars Producer Says Box Office is Doomed · · Score: 1

    another $10 for two sodas and some popcorn, can you really blame me if I just spend $15 and can watch the DVD over and over? I live in a cheaper part of the country so I can imagine that other people have to pay more for their movies and popcorn at the theater... bugger off rich movie people.

  15. hmm.. on Microsoft Tries a "Switch" Campaign · · Score: 1

    Something here seems fishy... Maybe it is that this writer tells how she switched over to XP and then starts to write a full page technical manual complete with screenshots, downloadable files and tons of marketing jargon. Stop lying to us ... Two words for Microsoft : "Trustworthy Computing"

  16. Redhat 8.2 and Libranet 3.x on Cringley Asking for 12 Month Predictions · · Score: 1

    Redhat 8.2: ... will be released. It will contain an improved version of Gnome 2.x the newest version of KDE 4 and BlueCurve 2.0. Learning from past disaproval of their implementation of KDE they will have worked through all most of the technical issues with KDE, but KDE 4 will still use BlueCurve and look almost exactly like the Redhat version of Gnome. Some KDE purists will still be unhappy about the Redhat version of KDE 4. Libranet 3.x : ...will be released. Yippie! It will be even more friendly to new users and attract more users. People will continue to bitch that they have to pay for the latest version of Libranet.

  17. Patent it... on What Would You Do With a New Form of Encryption? · · Score: 1

    I agree with the people who say to patent it. This gives you some options. From there you might some up with some license that is similar in nature to QPL. If people want to utilize it in open source applications they can do so for free, and if they need to use it in commercial applications they will have to pay you for it...

  18. This is a good reason to get windows! on CERT: Sendmail Distribution Contained Trojan Horse · · Score: 4, Funny

    That way when you get your software you know who put the security holes in it. It's all part of trustworthy computing... ;-)

  19. Re:How is it better than plain Debian? on LinuxOrbit Looks At Libranet GNU/Linux 2.7 · · Score: 1

    The real reason that it's worth it is that it comes with a few extras right off the bat... (gnome2, kde3, etc)... The admin tools are very well done. Libranet also has very good technical support which helps if you run into problems. If you are really poor it might just be best to use debian, but time is money and Libranet will save you time...

  20. My Libranet Experiences on LinuxOrbit Looks At Libranet GNU/Linux 2.7 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I've been using Libranet since the 1.x days. I've found it to be a very good distrobution. I found the Libranet install to be very easy and I love apt-get. Libranet reminds me of what Mandrake used to be in it's earlier days. It is a lot like Debian but with a lot of extra value added in. My favorite feature is their kernel compiling setup. They have a very easy to use process that lets you recompile your kernel. After you recompile the kernel it adds the newly recompiled kernel to lilo and keeps the old kernel as a lilo option so you can switch back if you have any problems.

    How can there be a fan site if this show premiers later tonight??????

  22. The question si really... on Is UnitedLinux Violating The GPL? · · Score: 1

    Should we care about this right now? They are working on getting a good product ready. If they ship a product and don't give access to the source then we should get upset. Maybe everyone should chill on this and just be happy that people are working on a standard Linux base.

  23. Re:The Case for on David Brin on "Attack of the Clones" · · Score: 1

    If you would read the five books by Timothy Zhan that take place after the three original movies you would see that this analysis of the rebel alliance is pretty shallow. You really do need to read all five to get the full picture...
