  1. Re:This one is priceless... on 2-Year OpenOffice High School Case Study · · Score: 1

    Most stuff is fine, but the fine detailed changing stuff not so much...

    Go look at any resume, things like templates, tables, line markings etc get pretty messed up.

  3. Re:In other news... on Official BitTorrent Search Opens · · Score: 1

    One thing that's nice to see in the ICE press release is this (emphasis added): "ICE and the FBI have shut down a group of online criminals who were using legitimate technology to create one-stop shopping for the illegal sharing of movies, games, software and music."

    Emphasis: Mine.

  4. Re:RIAA/MPAA on Bram Cohen to Release BitTorrent Search Engine · · Score: 1

    RIAA doesn't really care, because bittorrent is mostly used for albumns and the RIAA haven't had any artists who could press a decent whole albumn in 50 years....

  5. Increase usable life of your box on Athlon 64 In-depth Overclocking Guide · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Gives you another few months, you start thinking about that shiney new GPU CPU and stuff and salivating, but you know it's going to drop to .3 of the price in 2 months.

    So you overclock. If you bought the low end last generation you can keep going WAY LONGER!.

    I had a 9000 pro and was able to overclock to survive DOOM 3 and CS source... didn't need a 9600 pro or XT and wasn't tempted until the 600gt showed up... now I'm good for a few more generations unless it's another really awsome one (like the 9700 pro).

    We are exactly the same people... I'm downloading it and seeing it in theatres tommorow. Why? Who knows! I started the download looked at my schedule and said fuck it. Got some time, got a girl. Go out to a movie.

    The theater is a vastly inferior way to see a movie and if you see somehting truly awsome there you might not be able to keep it forever, at home I can keep everything forever. I have access to an increadibly wide selection, I can recommend something to my friend and they don't need to spend $9 to find out I'm wrong. It's just better (.).

  10. Re:120 days.... on VoIP Providers Given 120 Days to Provide 911 Service · · Score: 1

    Such as Cell Phones?

    It's a bit absurd for someone to know to tell them their address yes. And with the internet it shouldn't be necessary, really the government is saying you need to do something new, which isn't a problem as long as they require all VOIP services to do it (Which they are!)

  11. Re:Can Microsoft even legally sell Windows in Cuba on Cuba Switching to Linux · · Score: 1

    I have agreed with this for a long time and I think a country that decided that intellectual property was an outdated concept would surely profit.

    But blaming this solely on the U.S. isn't really correct.

    Though your movies say the FBI will show up at your house if you commit a copywright violation the U.N. also has sanctions against them... that's where real changes need to take place.

  12. Re:Poor analogy on Which is Better, Firefox or Opera? · · Score: 1

    But this isn't a concern in Opera. The EULA is fine.

    People want to use Firefox because it's Open Source's poster child but it just isn't as good as Opera.

    Hands down opera is better, they are fooking Scandinavian man SCANDINAVIAN :P

    Joking aside, it's REALLY REALLY nice to just install Opera and have everything work perfectly (And much quicker than Firefox or IE) if you'll be at the computer an hour there is quick prefs and if you own it you can run the gamut of all the options.

    You can get and make plugins for opera, (Though I honestly can't think of ANY that would be useful).. it does have more incompatibility problems than IE or even FireFox so to a certain extent yes I am a Zealot but being able to open a session or close and return so easily is awsome... I can keep the homepages of my 5 university courses open for a whole semester without bookmarking them :P. And it's nice to have mail work well also, RSS and mail make the firefox's lack of a function toolbar a big ole pain in the ass.

    Give it a try at least it's a 3 meg download (10 meg install which is Firefox) and a 20s crack :P

  14. The Irony on A Step Toward the Diamond Age · · Score: 1

    The irony is that Yellow Diamonds are the most valuable.

    This poster is really dumb :P Think about sulpher 8 and carbon 6 Duh how likely is that :P

    This is all based off a Russian Technology from the Cold War...

    As to the artificially inflated price, it's worse than you think. First off there is a cartel controlling the massive amounts of diamonds pouring out of Africa they have agreements to ensure that the diamonds pass through many many hands between the native workers and the consumer. And the conditions are deplorable.

  17. Re:P2P Interdiction Patents? on Macrovision Applies for P2P Interdiction Patents · · Score: 1

    Not quite, the system used on Kazaa is that they have hundreds of zombie PC's sharing broken files.

    Fortunatly you can simply get the files with fewer peers and less bandwidth (They use large commercial pipes for their servers).

    If people start doing this they need to spend way more effort on customization connections and systems to keep up... simple. But painful :(

  19. Schools on MS Calls On Kids to Stop Thought Thieves · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually I think that a lot of the current music crisis was sparked in the schools.

    No seriously it happened before you can even remember.

    Some child psychologist circa 1975 said they should STRESS sharing in kindergarten, we got programs where children were told to share toys and got less toys than kids, teachers stressed that lending toys when you weren't playing with them was good behavior and praised us for it.

    Microsoft's initiative is indeed attacking the source, they're just too late.

    Their next initiative: don't lend billy your toy truck when you're not using it and he'll buy it from you for big $ thus making god happy!

    Including farming subsidies?

    Agriculture in North America is a losing proposition :(

    Alberta continuing election of increasingly right wing politicians may be trying to cover this up but I doubt the federal listings will reflect a surplus.

    Ontario Quebec and British Columbia run a surplus the rest run a defecit. That's just the way it goes, big cities make financial profits, rural areas produce resources.

    They support us we support them.

    As far as Quebec goes their viewpoint is a useful and integral part of Canada. I wish they had two political parties (a right wing seperatist and a left wing seperatist perhaps?) Though their current leadership is excellent (Except the wanting to leave Canada bit, that's just silly :P)
