  1. Re:Reaction on Nook Color Rooted — Will B&N Embrace the Tablet? · · Score: 1

    The B&N DRM was cracked quite some time ago.

  2. Re:Nice above the article about failing tech in wa on Segway's Robotic Mobility Platform · · Score: 1

    "...about as fast as a marching soldier..." Wow! that's one fast march. An average walking pace is 2 to 3 mph. At 8 mph you'd have to be running to keep up with it.

  3. Re:NFS support sounds nice. on Windows Services For Unix Now Free Of Charge · · Score: 1

    Better yet, drop NFS and just use Samba. Nothing to install on the Windows box you can still mount between the Linux boxes.

  4. Re:RH is sold out on Red Hat Linux 9 Release And Interview · · Score: 1

    I'm assuming you mean 'bye-bye'

  5. Checkout BatteriesPlus on Customer Service for Cell Phones? · · Score: 1

    Have you looked into any of the battery retailers? You should checkout BatteriesPlus If they don't have what you need in stock, they can usually find it for you.

  6. Re:This is getting silly on RIAA nominated for "Internet Villain of the Year" · · Score: 1
    That kid wasn't on a power trip, he was just doing his job.

    What you describe happens in a lot of electronic and discount stores around the holidays. Basically, they just want to check that what you have in the cart is what you paid for. It's easy for someone to buy a $10 item, walk back in, pick up a DVD player and walk back out with receipt in hand. Sure, it's a lack of trust and you're treated like a criminal before the fact.

    But, the fact is that many stores lose lots of merchandise this time of year. I don't like it, but I don't falt them one bit.

  7. Re:Poor Websites on Should Every Retail Outfit Have A Webpage? · · Score: 1

    Although I agree that many company web sites are poorly designed or are hard to navigate, we have to remember that a web site is not a company's primary means of communication. Anyone remember the phone? Instead of spending two hours on a web site getting frustrated, why not just call the manufacturer to get the information. 15 minutes and your done.

  8. Re:I've seen this lack of creativity.. on Overspecialization in the Computer Field? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    This is just one example of the lack of creative thought that I saw almost every day while working on the helpdesk.

    Instead of yelling at the clueless to use the software to view landscape pages how about actually showing how to do it?

    This is just one example of the lack of help that users put up with almost every day from the 'helpdesk'.

  9. Take a look at topic maps on OpenSource Alternative to TheBrain? · · Score: 1

    You may want to take a look at topic maps . Also take a look at the topic maps 4 java web site. It is completely run by topic maps.
