  1. Re:gmail on Best Way to Handle Email for a Small Domain? · · Score: 1

    I want to reply to your sig. Do you really think that Technocrat is all that good of a website for adults. After all they have something called RoboDump 1.0 on the front page. A device used to make fake bowel movement sounds.

    Bah

  2. Best comment I ever saw on Why MS is Not Opening More Source Code · · Score: 5, Funny
    The best comment I ever saw in a piece of code was from a friend that I was working on a group project with back in college. He sent me some of his work for the project and I was having problems getting it to work like he said it did so I was looking in the code and found

  3. Re:Doubt it... on XM and Sirius Merger? · · Score: 1

    There is a third company called Worldspace. They actually started Satelite radio. The problem and the reason that you have never heard of them is that the FCC would not grant them a license to broadcast in the US. The have coverage for Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America.

  4. Re:GPL on FSF: New Apache License not GPL-Compatible · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Well I don't think that I'm qualified. I'm not a lawyer. I looked at the Apache license. IT seems like a good thing. If the GPL is so restrictive that it won't ever work with any other type of license then it should be changed. I believe in both types of free but with all these licenses fighting against each other it does nothing to help linux.

  5. GPL on FSF: New Apache License not GPL-Compatible · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I know this is will be Flamebait but with all these problems maybe the GPL should change.

  6. Re:At the risk of seeming stupid... on MySQL Official GUI Interface · · Score: 1

    I have to agree. I have beening using MySQL CC for quite some time now. I've never had a problem with it and it works very well for me. If MySQL does charges for this I won't be buying it.

  7. TaxAct on Tax Preparation Software for 2003? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I've been using TaxAct since 1998 now. I've never had any problems with it and it seems to work well. It has a very nice interface. I get the 20 dollar version from their website. That gets me the State and Federal versions. I used Turbotax the year before and and this seem almost the same to me.

  8. Question on Web Performance and QA Tools? · · Score: 1

    Well I have to say I don't know anything about this type of application but typically what type of requirements do you have for a system like this.

    That's why if your going to use Kazaa you should really use Kazaa Lite. It's Kazaa without all the spy stuff installed.

  12. Robotic Observatory on Serious Home Observatories · · Score: 1

    Hello all,

    The amateur astronomy club that I am president of is building a robotic telescope. We just put up a new building to house the telescope. We also have a 16" like the one pictured in the article. There is nothing like tasking a telescope to go out and take pictures of the things you want to see. The problem with Hubble and other large telescopes is that amateurs can't gain access. These 16" scopes are great becasue they can see almost as well as some of the larger professional scopes with much less cost.

    Our new building cost us 20K so we didn't spend any where near what that guy in the article did. You can actually build a very nice observatory for about 1000 dollars.

    I would put up a url but our webserver can't handle the traffic from slashdot.

  14. Re:opening the door to XM radio? on Music Industry Seeks Payola Inquiry · · Score: 1

    I have Sirius radio. IT's the best radio I have heard in a long time. IT doesn't have ads on the music channels and it has all kinds of music to chose from. I believe it's like having shoutcast in your car.

    Here in Iowa we have little Teleco that is fighting to be with the Big boys. Mcleod USA. They ran a full fiber optic network around our city that provides cable, internet and phone all
    from one provider. It's acutally very nice.

  17. Xbox Crash on Crashing Xbox Kiosks · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I was playing one at Software Etc on Saturday.
    It was some car driving game. I played for about 5 minutes when I tried to restart the race. The box locked up solid.

    Now I know it was probally getting abused but I dont't think that it should have done that.

    And actually I wasn't that impressed by the graphics. I think my Tbird 1.4 with my Gforce 3 is much better

  18. How Can this be on Is Law Copyrighted? · · Score: 4

    How can this type of thing be allowed to happen. If laws aren't published how would anyone ever know that this exist. It is so wrong to think that we as good citizens are suppose to follow laws that we can't even ready.

    Any court that upholds this kind of thing must be funny in the head

  21. My Configuration on Net Access On The International Trip? · · Score: 3

    Well the company I travel for gave the the following configuration.

    Running on an Omnibook 900 I have a 3Com PCMCIA modem with an X-Jack plug. To connect to all
    the jacks they gave us universial phone adapter.
    It's got about two dozen parts that drop into
    this quick adapter. It's really small and easy
    to use. As for the line test they make them as
    small a ink pens.

    We use a service on our Win NT laptops call
    IBM Global Dialer. IT's you basic ISP but
    has number for almost everywherein the world.
    I haven't been on a trip yet were I haven't
    had a local number. I don't know if it runs
    in linux but you might be able to connect to
    it with the standard dialer.
