  2. Re:biggest mistake ms ever made on Driver Update Can Cause Vista Deactivation · · Score: 1

    If you can't find a place where you can find a copy to pirate(bay) then I'm not sure you're looking hard enough.

  3. Re:Where Linux Applications Fall Short on How Would You Refocus Linux Development? · · Score: 1

    2 theses and 10 papers in their first term of high school? I think that "theses" does not mean what you think it means. Thesis: a dissertation embodying results of original research and especially substantiating a specific view; especially : one written by a candidate for an academic degree (Merriam Webster) My brother-in-law's thesis was >800 pages.

  4. Re:Forget IPv6 on (Almost) All You Need To Know About IPv6 · · Score: 1

    I coulda had a V8...

  5. Re:What's stopping you? on How Can We Convert the US to the Metric System? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Will it still weight that much after the icecaps melt and sea level rises?

  6. In other news... on NYT Reports Steve Jobs' Exoneration · · Score: 5, Funny

    Rosie ODonnell says she's not fat. Geek says that the 10 gadgets hanging out of every pocket makes him look sexy. Linus says that Linux is the best OS ever. Ballmer says the chair threw itself. Pot denys that the kettle is black.

  7. Re:Free Hans on Hans Reiser in Court Today · · Score: 1

    Um, I remember as a kid having my dad stuff me, my sister, and my brother in his Vette. 2 of us would sit in the passenger seat and one of us would sit/lay on the shelf behind the seats. Might not be legal, but we lived. -J

    Ugh... You are a masochist of the worst kind.

  9. Thank you for your service! on How Long is Too Long to Update? · · Score: 1

    Glad you made it home safely!

  10. Re:The real reason on Why Apple Picked Intel Over AMD · · Score: 1

    You may want to compare the Sempron64 vs the CeleronD.

    What's a modem?

  12. Re:Howard Dean, my ideal candidate on Howard Dean to Guest Blog for Lawrence Lessig · · Score: 1

    Sigh... Cheney does not get money from Halliburton. He was forced to sell all his shares before taking office because of the wacky-left crying out that he had a conflict of interest. The same wackos then complained that the stock went down after he sold. Give it a rest already.

  13. At least they're doing something sorta productive on Dear Sir: Your Credit Card Number Has Been Owned · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not a bad idea but, with them having a 38 billion dollar deficit one would think they'd be focused on that.

    So glad not to be there now.

  14. This isn't efficient! on LA Cops get Wi-Fi Drive By Access · · Score: 5, Funny

    They need to put them in donut shops to reach the greatest number of cops.

  15. Why is anyone surprised? on Lindows' Heavy Hand Leads to Summit Dropouts · · Score: 1
    The guy that runs the company is so arrogent an asshole that even Larry Ellison thinks the guy is over the top.

    I guess that's ok when he's harassing Microsoft by naming their product "Lindows". But once he starts the same sort of behavior towards the Linux community, it isn't ok anymore?

  16. This gives me an idea... on Rosen Floats ISP Fee Idea -- Charge Everybody! · · Score: 1
    If we all did this to ensure continued permission to display our content to their users then we could all:

    3) Profit!!

    But then again, my opinions are as much wanted as the music of the RIAA!

  17. Re:Think of the possibilities on High-Speed Multimedia Hamming · · Score: 1

    And what happens when your internet goes down due to a natural or man-made disaster? Amateur radio is a -supplement- to normal communications channels, not a replacement or drop-in component to such systems. Most communications systems used by end users (cell phones, wired phones, and internet) depend very heavily on the availability of basic infrastructure services that typically are overloaded or go offline in an emergency. Crippled and slow alternatives aren't cool. But being able to communicate around the world on just a few watts of power and being able to communicate at all when power is out and phones are down are. Especially when you're desperately trying to find out if someone you love is alive. A Santa Cruz ham helped me contact my family after the 1989 Bay Area earthquake when phones were still down and would be down for another 14 hours.

  18. Belluzzo was from SGI on Ex-Microsofter Rick Belluzzo Prefers Linux · · Score: 1

    He's from SGI, is it any surprise he likes *nix better than Windows? I still don't know why MS hired him. The guy was a personality-less bozo that did sqat in his time at Microsoft.
