  1. Re:The beauty of a non-integrated browser........ on Critical Mozilla, Thunderbird Vulnerabilities · · Score: 2, Informative

    Nope, just installed 1.7 on top of 1.4 and did not have problem. My extensions were cleaned out so I have to get them again no big deal and is working great. I run Mozilla and Thunderbird on Windows XP and if it weren't for Direct X games...

  2. One in a million chance on Intel Shrinks Transistor Size By 30% · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Wow, it seems like a one in a million chance, I go to read this story and there is an Intel add on the page, what are the odds of that happening like one in a million?

  3. Re:A chilling effect on sales? on RIAA Sues More Music Lovers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'd love to be in the room when the "brains" behind the RIAA finally say "screw it - we lost. It is more likely they will be sitting in the room, and somebody will come in and say "screw you - you lost." They should have let iTunes happen much sooner. Still time, just have to quit fighting reality, they need to make sure several legal music sites have every song that they control and allow independant music as well.

  4. Re:Dupe! on Cray CTO Says Cray Computers Are Great · · Score: 4, Funny

    Cary most have bought the two posting, ad package.

  5. Re:skins on Google Releases Gmail Notifier · · Score: 1

    Shh! Not so loud that part of the corporate strategy will not be unleashed till next year :)

  6. Re:Insular US on Writing Software for Worldwide Distribution Proves Difficult · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You poor bastard, here you are in the US and you spend your time watching new and current affairs programming, get thee to a LAN party!

    If your going to be indoors spend your time playing Circle of Heros with less lag or pick up a US copy of DOOM 3.

  7. Re:Democracy.. on Using Copyright To Suppress Political Speech · · Score: 1

    A vote for a 3rd party canidate can have a major impact, do you think Newt and Clinton worked to balance the budget just for the fun of it or did the amount of votes Perot get affect thinking on the matter, I would say that if any 3rd party canidate gets over 8% of the vote it will affect the thinking of at least one of the major parties.

  8. Re:Kind of amusing, in a sad way ... on Fewer Computer Science Majors · · Score: 1

    I concur, I would also wonder about the enrollment in degrees such as Computer Engineering. Starting salaries are up in both of these degress according to this CNN story. So perhaps the supply has been trimmed.

  9. Re:Probably worth it though.... on Google Sets IPO Pricing · · Score: 1

    GM and Ford are both done growing and are mature companies, software and the internet are clearly much more fictionless industries then automotive. Google is the top search engine and perhaps the top software company going forward...

  10. Re:what the hell does this mean? on Joe Trippi Interviewed · · Score: 1

    It means most of the campaign money (millions) went to companies owned by campaign manager Trippi, anytime you can get people to send you money you win! Even when you come in 3rd.

  11. Re:Depends on who is in the Whitehouse on US Government Keeping Close Eye on Longhorn · · Score: 2

    Do you feel safer than you did four years ago?
    Yes. Four years ago we had our heads in the sand, Libya was working on nukes, Pakistan was selling nuke tech to everybody in the Mideast, and the UN was playing us like fool with the oil for food deal. The world may have seemed safer 4 years ago but it was not. And don't think I don't blame politician from both parties for not being tough enough on this issue before 9/11. But Bush is doing the hard work that must be done to protect this country. I remeber another of the first things he did when coming into to office he refused a request for documents of the Clinton Adminstration from the house members that still wanted to get President Clinton, I thought that was a great move telling the children quit complaining and get back to work for the American people.

    Also I think market forces (i.e. Red Hat) will keep Microsoft in line a lot more effectivly than the government could.

  12. Re:Depends on who is in the Whitehouse on US Government Keeping Close Eye on Longhorn · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So those pictures of Bill and Bill playing golf were just for show?
    So if I vote for Kerry I might see at least a bit more attention, wow that seems worth it...

  13. Re:AMD64 option? on Doom 3 System Requirements Revealed · · Score: 1

    AMD64 will work great. I would think 2GHz AMD64 should be about equal to a 3.2 GHz P4 due to the integrated memory controller of the AMD64, video card is more of an issue here go with GeForce 5900 or ATI 9800 or better, heck a new XP CPU and new GPU in your current rig may be enough...

  14. Re:misattributing is my peeve, not the end result on Office Depot Wants to Recycle Your Old Computer · · Score: 1

    I have to agree 100% with it not being goodwill in most cases. I know of cases when people have brought a sign up sheet for say a cancer walkathon to work, but it is discouraged by the management because the company will not be getting credit for the activity. I still don't mind the effect of "good stuff getting done" but it seems neither do you...

  15. Re:bill? Ahahahaha. on Office Depot Wants to Recycle Your Old Computer · · Score: 1

    if (greed == good_stuff_gets_done)
    printf("Why the f*ck is this a problem again?")

  16. Re:Creativity on Alan Kay Decries the State of Computing · · Score: 1

    The military does not need to spend money on simulators to teach hand-eye coordination anymore...

  17. Re:At least on Building a Better Mozilla With Plugins · · Score: 1

    Mis-read a chart get modderated Insightful, gotta love /.

  18. Re:Bad opening statement... on Indemnification Roundup · · Score: 1

    Is there a way to obtain one of the rapid growth clouds for my own game development biz...

  19. Re:who is this really for? on Dell Offers $100 For Old iPods · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It is also PR designed to use $99 and Dell Player in the same sentence. But it makes good sense for Dell to have a product in this category, if somebody is ordering a Dell, I could see this as an easy checkbox to add to the order.

  20. Re:Liberal Noise on In These Games, the Points Are All Political · · Score: 1

    Nope, I just think everthing isn't about politics or at least it shouldn't be. I can't think of anything less fun that a Bush or Kerry video game...

  21. Liberal Noise on In These Games, the Points Are All Political · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    What happend to just killing stuff or just talking about technology, Wired and Slashdot have cranked up the liberal political noise to quite a high level, so high that I almost can't hear any intelligent ideas or concepts that may be hiding behind some of the rhetoric...

  22. Re:VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! on Rocket Hobbyists Get Blown Away by Regulations · · Score: 1

    Because the ATF never went overboard when Clinton was President, of course the dead in Waco may think different, some agencies just aren't that useful, knee-jerk Anit-Ashcroftness is silly, maybe just maybe an agencies that enforces policy on three legal items should be deleted....

  23. Re:Powerful incentives on Sen. Hatch to Introduce Wide-ranging Copyright Bill · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Indeed. Imagine if Libertarians had the ability to elect just one or maybe two senators, in the current razors edge environment in the senate they would be quite powerful. Instead they try to run for the Presidency every four year for what a few percentage points. Focus on freedom...

  24. iTunes and Burn on Recording Industry Hopes To Hinder CD Burning · · Score: 1

    The only reason I use iTunes is the unlimited burning (I know 8/10 per play list). It is time to move on to digital downloads and away from all of this cd key and cd protection nonsense. In many case the protection causes bugs, crashes, and general system instability.

  25. Re:I wonder... on RIAA Sues Nearly 500 New Swappers · · Score: 1

    I considered the original mp3.com good behavior. I bought albums from an artist there.
