  1. Re:Arrgghhh - the name!! on Flash Memory with Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    Yep, a lousi, crappi name - almost as bad as enything with 'Eezi' in it.

  2. Re:Golly I love Copyright Management! on Flash Memory with Copy Protection · · Score: 4, Funny

    No, YOU can take as many bites as YOU want, but will only be able to describe the experience (good or not so good) to 5 other people.

  3. Re:Requires it's own server for everything on Zimbra Collaboration Suite Launched · · Score: 1

    SugarCRM is worth a look - we've just moved over to it from Maximizer.

  4. Re:What is the merit of replacing an Exchange serv on Zimbra Collaboration Suite Launched · · Score: 4, Informative

    If Squirrelmail (WebMail) fits into your config then there is an 'out-of-office' module that can be installed to allow users to manage the vacation functionality for themselves.

  5. Re:Ten bucks on From TR-1 to iPod mini · · Score: 4, Funny

    Twenty bucks says someone with strip out a TR-1, stick a Commodore 64 in it, make it run Linux and then cluster it - but you won't be able to print and surf the 'net at the same time.

  6. Re:Hmmm...should have used preview on Running out of Hurricane Names · · Score: 1

    Actually, 'effect' or 'affect' are equally at home in that sentence.

    Effect: 'Make them happen'

    Affect: 'Change them'.

  7. Re:We? on Intelligence in the Internet Age · · Score: 1

    'bit, bit' - or as the parrots used to say: 'pieces of eight, pieces of eight'.

  8. Flying high? on The New Face Lift · · Score: 1

    Hey, if they combined this face 'lift' with the Space 'Elevator' you could really walk around with your head in the clouds.

    Thank you, I'm here 'til Friday.

  9. Re:Yikes! Pagan rituals! on The Tech of Burning Man · · Score: 1

    ..I thought it was either something to do with male cystitis or blank CD-Rs?

  10. Re:SciTE on Ultimate Software Developer Setup? · · Score: 1

    I gave up with SciTE and now use the plain and simple Crimson Editor.

  11. First smaller patch available now: on MS Upgrades To Be Smaller And More Frequent · · Score: 1

    Here it is, it fixes a line feed issue with some printers:

    Hey I'm a consultant - break out the champagne!

  13. Re:Used for surgery, as a contraceptive? on Microrobot Developed at Dartmouth · · Score: 1

    Bizarre! No doubt the religious fanatics would have something to say about that. Mind you, what about the electrode power grid?

  14. Yoda Says on A Useful Grammar Checker? · · Score: 2, Funny

    A grammar checker need I not.

  15. Re:I'm not an expert... on Office 12 Exposed · · Score: 1

    Man that interface sucks big time - OK maybe a change is as good as a rest, but the layout is nothing like the current Windows CUI (Common User Interface) so stepping out of Office 12 into another 'traditional' app is going to mean a mental re-jig of what's where. Then again, maybe M$ don't expect anyone to work outside the Office 'box'.

    I look forward to every other software company having to spend a considerable amount of time and money redesigning their app interfaces (using the new, expensive M$ dev tools they'll have to buy!), unless Windows skins them - but what chance of that?

  16. I can make this work... on Lockheed Chosen For Electronic Records Archives · · Score: 1

    1) Give me the $308M.

    2) I'll bank the cash and cream off some interest to keep me in luxury - let's say I can get 5% interest PA, that's $15.4M a year so I'll take, say, $5M/year for myself and my efforts.

    3) I'll Spend up to $10M/year maintaining a secure storage facility and purchasing 3 units of every storage device that comes to market together with a range of media, host systems and documentation on acid-free archive paper.

    4) There will be an annual charge for subscribers to the facility.

    5) Profit!!

  17. Reads the news... on Oracle To Buy Siebel · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...completes update to SugarCRM installation...shrugs shoulders...

    Obviously, trying to post a witty comment from my PDA was kinda dumb seeing as how 80% of the message got lost!

  20. Electronically generated classical music on An Experiment in A New Kind of Music · · Score: 1

    Way back in the days of type-your-code-in-from-a-magazine-listing, I remember someone publishing a set of programs for the Commodore 64 and VIC-20 that generated music in the style of Mozart using a database of chords and notes based on an analysis of Mozart's compositions. As I recall the music was very good.

  21. Re:Quality on Half-Terabyte Hard Drive Reviewed · · Score: 1

    It doesn't seem to cause any problems - in my current place of work I have 5 Linux servers setup with two drives as described and disk i/o performance figures are absolutely fine. Somewhat ironically, one other server has two WD drives and I think one is just about to die so I am keeping a close eye on the pair!

  22. Re:Quality on Half-Terabyte Hard Drive Reviewed · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I buy two very similar capacity units from two different manufacturers (ie: Seagate + Western Digital) so I don't get caught out by a manufacturing defect - that happened many years ago to a company for which I was doing some freelance work - two hard disks in their server's RAID 5 array had drive motor bearing failures within about 15 minutes of each other!

  23. Re:whats next? on Intel Enters Anti-Virus Market · · Score: 1

    ..or chain of keep fit gyms?

    .."plan to..."?

    I have some systems that seem to have this technology already!

  25. Underwhelmed on Earth Departure Movie From MESSENGER Spacecraft · · Score: 4, Interesting

    With the current state of CGI and a world awash with 'fake' scifi images running all the way back to 2001: A space Odyssey, it's a shame that this footage just looks so 'plain' even though it's 'the real thing'. Mind you, I find Google Earth truly fascinating.
