  1. Re:Hey Guys on Geeks in Space, Episode 4 · · Score: 1
    In fact, I am only a year out of college myself and had a radio show for 2 years while at school. But I tried to provide content and run a good show.

    I listend to a lot of different college radio shows while in school, some were childish, some were quite good. I just see the potential for this one to turn into a 5 minute string of snorting and finger-pulling. I enjoyed the first 2 episodes a lot, and I hope they can return to the original format.

  2. a spiral downward? on Geeks in Space, Episode 4 · · Score: 1
    I think this show had/has a lot of potential, but for now I see it doing nothing but a tail spin into the ground. You spent half the episode talking about releasing your super-viris...very lame.


    It has taken on the form of a bad college radio show. Take some steps to improve it and I think it will work.

  3. Re:Server or client software on HP's OpenMail to support Linux · · Score: 2
    That's what it sounds like to me. It's providing backend support for Outlook, but not replacing Outlook.

    In addition to robust Internet e-mail-standards support, the Linux edition of OpenMail will include rich support for Microsoft(R) Outlook (including full wide-area calendar/schedule access) and OpenMail 6.0's new Web client.

    That paragraph in particular seems to indicate this.

  4. Re:Hmmm I don't see an E2K client on Russian E2K cracking RC5 · · Score: 1

    according to the E2K press releases, the chip has a mechanism (whatever that means) to run x86 programs (or at least has the ability to). So, if it is indeed a E2K, it's just running one of the x86 clients.

  5. too much too fast? on The End Of The Amazon Era · · Score: 1

    More and more I've been conviced that Amazon.com is falling head-long into new markets too fast. They waited quite a while to establish themselves in the book market before adding any other content. Now they're adding "features" like I eat M&M's. It's too fast and too much. They've not established themselves in any of the previous areas before moving on. From what I've heard, response to their on-line auction has been weak at best.
    I too have been ordering from Amazon.com for a long time, but probabaly no more....it's too much of a mess. I don't want to see the latest crap that's being auctioned off show up in my search for books...when I want to search for books, I want to see content on books. Preferably related to the query. But maybe I'm unique? (Me thinks not)

  6. the Radio Shack Mafia on We Lost the Privacy War · · Score: 1

    I found the article interesting, but a little over the-top on doom and gloom. There are measures that can be taken to protect your privacy (as many other prior to this post have pointed out). Just my 2 cents.



    I do await, however, the legions of Radio Shack employees, decending from who-knows-where, armed with stacks of data on who bought batteries and audio cable from them, ready to enslave the U.S. population. :)

  7. Triumph of the Nerds on Pirates of Silicon Valley · · Score: 3

    (as an aside)

    Although occasionaly PBS re-broadcasts the episodes, you can buy the tapes and companion book from PBS at:

    http://shop.pbs.org/CMgXWrrVmX/products/C1808/

    I'd highly recommend it. Let Hollywood have their artistic license, I'll stick with PBS.
