    Apparently they helped Bush steal your HTML tags as well.

    What happened to those guys? David Dawes' crusade finally just peter out? Does anyone else still use XFree?

    I've noticed it's significantly better than physically hodling something. Just talk out loud and drive.

  5. 2 ways around this on Cellphone Drivers Drive Like Drunks · · Score: 1

    Either require headsets to be used or be a geek and buy a Bluetooth phone and car :) I have a Bluetooth Blackberry 7100t that works great with my 2005 Acura TL. I just throw my bag in the trunk and drive off. Use the button on the steering wheel to activate voice commands and dial and listen over the car's speakers while the microphone in the ceiling picks up my voice. Works really well and is much safer than any other method of talking whiel driving.

  6. Re:FreeBSD on Which Linux for Professional Admins? · · Score: 1

    My webhosting company runs FreeBSD and brags about it and we're moving to a Linux hosting company. Never seen such incompetence.

  7. Never mind on Rambus Takes Another Shot At High-End Memory · · Score: 4, Interesting

    if they plan on charging exorbitant prices for their memory again. I inherited a network full of fairly fast (2ghz) Dell boxes using RAMBUS. Sure is fun spending about $300 for a 512 upgrade. Of course you can only install this crap in pairs so there goes your slots.... Junk.. Rather buy a cheap new box than a memory upgrade using this overpriced crap.

  8. Re:Dtrace and Linux vs Solaris argument on Sun Opens OpenSolaris.Org · · Score: 1

    No shit. Who said Linux and OpenSolaris are there is? Posting this from a FreeBSD box.

  9. Dtrace and Linux vs Solaris argument on Sun Opens OpenSolaris.Org · · Score: 1

    I run SUSE and Redhat ES server here at work but I can't help being excited about DTrace and what it can offer the whole Open Source *Nix world. Sun is definitely helping the Open Source movement by first reelasing OpenOffice and now, DTrace, the most talkeda bout feature of Solaris 10. Wonder how that will effect this between a Solaris developer and a Linux kernel coder?

  10. Most secure OS the world has ever seen??? on Sun Chief Calls Out IBM, Demands Compatibility · · Score: 1

    Wow. So Sun is releasing a port of OpenBSD :)

  15. Re:This is great on Novell to port Evolution to Windows · · Score: 1

    Powerpoint is the killer app for my execs and big part of buying Office. Although I have moved them over to Macs as well as my Sales guys. Now if my engineer could only develop on Macs....
    Anyway, what's the deal on a Transform file? Could save me some time.

  16. Re:This is great on Novell to port Evolution to Windows · · Score: 1

    But if you already have the CAL for Exchange and you generally end up buying Office anyway because of those over you... well you get my point. Maybe a $100 was high but I'd still pay to be rid of Outlook. Also, don't forget the newer versions of Outlook try to default to Word as the editor for emails.

  17. This is great on Novell to port Evolution to Windows · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There goes the last hurdle in your IT budget for Windows boxes. Now there's no reason to buy Office! I'll gladly pay say..a $100 for a nice port of Evolution per box. Save me all sorts of money.

    The guy actually has a thesaurus (yes, I know Office has one too) propped open on his desk to find better words than the ones we plainspoken people use. Here's some great examples of him:

    -actionable

  22. Re:Do Something, Taco! on Bugzilla 2.18 Goes Gold · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Don't forget about the time Michael used an entire day's worth of editorial comments to bitch about Speakeasy. I emailed Speakeasy myself about him pulling this crap. You'd think since being an editor is a full time job, he could act a bit professional and non-biased. Not Michael. He still hasn't ever answered about hijacking the anti-censorware website to anybody. Basically out of control and a snide bastard. If there's a chance to insert a nasty comment, there he is! And if you post something negative about him...well there's the bitchslap and you will never get a story submitted.

    They mention that Setup Assistant will be able to (future tense) migrate all of your settings to a new computer like XP does now (sometimes). Bullshit. It's here and it works now, ZDnet.
