  1. Re:Panera... on The Case for Free WiFi? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ive seem some places use 'coffee cards' where they give you a code you enter in to their browser-authentication which gives you x amount of time.

  2. burning to cd on Windows iTunes Sells A Million Songs In 3.5 Days · · Score: 2, Interesting

    has anyone had problems burning to cd (audio, data, mixed) in windows? i didnt realize this until after i bought an ablum, that itunes uses its own software to burn cds instead of users choice (boohoo i want nero). it initializes the cd and buffers the songs to burn and then exits with a '4000' error.

    this sounds an awful lot like the communistic scares of the 50's

  4. Re:If it walks like a duck. on Apple Sued Over Unix Trademark · · Score: 1

    solaris is a registered unix product, so unix-type would be inaccurate.

    for a complete list of what "is" unix, go to open groups registered product listing.

  5. standards anyone? on Apple Sued Over Unix Trademark · · Score: 1

    the main mission of the open group is to enforce unix standards. sure they want money for liscencing, if you owned "unix", wouldnt you? basically theyre complaining because you cant call somthing unix unless it gets checked and approved, just like you cant call something w3c valid unless you check it with them. the reason why the liscensing costs so much is because the actual process to verify it meets the standards is expensive in itself.

    sure, i guess unix is a general term, and legally oses like bsd can call themselves "unix-based" and not "unix"

    and for further clarification.. linux is NOT unix, just like GNU is NOT unix ;P

    Linux is not UNIX. just like GNU is not UNIX.

  7. use what you report on on How to Fake A Hard Day at the Office · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Instant Message programs, a more-immediate form of e-mail now used by millions of employees, can also be reconfigured. Typically, if you haven't touched your computer in a while, the people you chat with online see an "idle" message next to your name. Diehard slackers can crack into the program settings to make themselves appear perpetually available.

    a *crack* huh? are you sure its not a built-in OPTION? ;P

  8. 2.2 4 3v3r on Kernel 2.2 - It Lives! · · Score: 1

    ill prolly stick with the 2.2 series on my sparc20 until it dies, only because i cant compile 2.4 (although it *should* work :( ) cant say i have much experience with 2.4.. im a freebsd bitch

  9. everything but the.. on Mozilla Now Even Includes The Kitchen Sink · · Score: 5, Funny

    if we can blame mozillas bloat on everything *including* the kitchen sink, what can we blame windows bloat on? does microsoft have an easter egg including the appliance section in best buy somewhere?

  10. Re:I just bought a new laptop on Digital Restrictions Management in Office 11 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Open Office.

    1. its NOT microsoft

    another good reason why you should support open office if you already dont

  12. its all about the media on The Linux Uprising · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A good read to align yourself with what mainstream businesspeople are fed.

    in this case, who cares? as little as two years ago the media saw linux as some fly buzzing around bothering the big horses microsoft and sun. now its seen as a more significant player as a viable alternative to the giant expensive software companies.

    The computer realm may never be the same. Imagine the havoc in the energy business if some newcomer started giving away gasoline. Linux is bringing on a convulsion of that magnitude in tech.

    sure, *i* think linux is the greatest thing, and *you* think linux is the greatest thing, but that isnt going to make our boss think linux is a greatest thing. it takes zealous writers who like to think theyre on the cutting edge to write stories which put linux in all its glory. we can then go to our boss and say "look at this.. BUSINESS WEEK even thinks so!".

    two years ago, the business world saw linux as a toy. rehat and ibm have invested alot of money into linux, giving it exposure to more mature audiences than slashdot. now that linux has been out and about for businesses to play with, they realise that "this linux thing is really great". the industry finally sees linux as a threat and is willing to give it the attention it deserves

  13. Re:C# .Net on Re-Tooling Your Skills for the Future? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    from what i understand, .NET and C# arnt taking off like m$ had planned. according to several microsoft junkies i know, companies are hesitant to marry with microsoft because it requires so much overhaul. from server specs and network design to actual programmers.. .NET is a very expensive technology that hasnt proved itself well enough to be plausable. with the economy sinking because GW wants to cut taxes and wage war (are all republicans bad at math?) there isnt money to invest tech facelifts. just because m$ comes out with a new product/technology doesnt mean you have to buy it. it may be the industry standard, but you cant invest in it if there is no money to spend
