    At the moment hoever, linux is not desktop ready, and end user of windows could not navigate the red hat install,

    Actually most people could install redhat linux, its installing programs thats the pain (DEPENDANCIES!!)

    the things which comes up isnt based on the alphabet like IE's is. Its based on whats most popular product?

  7. BBC news 24 last night on More on Media Consolidation · · Score: 2

    I was watching this channel last night and in the business talk section there was the CEO of Sinclair (who own lots of local cable stations) saying how terrible it is that theyre not alowed to own more things than theyre currently alowed, his justification was that there are so many more channels now... bah just another company like clear channel trying to crush all competition. (Final thaught-Maybe that should have been like M$ - no beacuse MS has already done so :-( )

    But then instead of just a BOFH you get a PFY too ;-)

  11. Forgive my ignorance on EA's Sims Online Is A Flop And Other MMORPG Musings · · Score: 3, Interesting

    But why would i want to pay $50 or even $20 for a game which i then have to pay more per month to play? it would have to be a damn good game. - Give the game away free with a months free sub (You have to give your credit card details so you cant just keep getting freebies) so theyre hoooked and you now have $10 per month off em :-)

    Then they sued M$ and we all laughed a bit more :)

  13. the man who made music downloading legit on Should Apple Buy TiVo? · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    "the man who made music downloading legit"

  20. Re:Sneaky, Sneaky, Sneaky on What's Microsoft Up To? · · Score: 1

    I read this article just before eating lunch. Then, upon returning to the computer, a thought hit me.

    The first tom cruise one i had to watch a few times to understand it, i still dont properly (i played the n64 game *first* and the story then becomes very confusing if you watch the movie)i enjoyed it overall. The second was an atrocity.
