  1. Self Serving Tripe on Adobe Calls Out Apple With Ads In NY Times, WSJ · · Score: 1

    'nuff said

  2. Look for US Firm with Foreign Clients on Programming Jobs Abroad For a US Citizen? · · Score: 1

    Look for a US based company with foreign clients. That way you may not require a working visa for most countries. And language is not a problem, as most IT workers will speak English regardless of the country they are working in.

    I used to work for a firm as described above, and I worked in several European countries, the Middle East, New Zealand, and Central America. It was a blast, I'd do it again. Oh yeah, I speak English, with only a little proficiency in Spanish.

  3. Re:In a word... on Psystar Will Countersue Apple · · Score: 1

    Well, if their point of view is "anyone buying a clone could be buying Apple hardware", then yes, they are losing money (or at least profit opportunity).

  4. Re:Fist Prose on Netflix Woes Mean a Gap In Shipments · · Score: 1

    Agreed, and 24 hours after I received my letter (same as above), I received my next movie.

    Not too shabby.

  5. Talking to a local restaurant owner on Music Industry Shaking Down Coffee Shops · · Score: 1

    Here in Florida, while reading this article, over breakfast this morning. She told me that she is getting asked for royalties because she is playing Muzak !! All I can think, is that the music industry actually wants people to stop listening to music.

  6. Re:Expensive! on Kodak Challenges HP's Printer Sales Model · · Score: 1

    what? compared to HP's $35 - $50?

  7. Yawn on Novell/Linux Parody on Apple's Mac vs PC Ads · · Score: 1

    Still doesn't make me forget who is doing the sellling.

  8. Not so good with Camino on Windows Live Search goes Live · · Score: 1

    Camino 1.0 (universal) on OS X. Search comes up, the scroll goes down, but won't return.
    After about 1 minute some ads appeared. Overall very very slow. Not ready for prime time.
    Standard M$ quality.

  9. Re:One bird... two stones... on FCC to Auction Airwaves for Inflight Internet · · Score: 1

    I have to agree on no cell phones on airplanes - or at least no ringer. I usually sleep on flights, talking won't wake me, but a phone ringing certainly will, especially if someone is using the same ringtone as I.

  10. Re:Inevitable on TiVo Causes Increase in Product Placement · · Score: 1

    I'll second that. I saw "The Island" last week on a plane.
    Had to stop watching, as the numerous placements completely ruined the movie for me.

  11. Re:If the Christian Allegory bugged you... on Behind the Scenes of Narnia's Special Effects · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    1) The "other stories" you are being told are being told badly, or are just plain wrong. God does not approve all articles before publication.
    2) The "other stories" you are being told reveal things in yourself that you are not prepared to deal with yet.
    3) You understand the greater story, and simply wish to align yourself with evil instead of good.

    That's been my life's story anyway. It always seems to come down to one of those three things.

    You have a rather simplistic, and shallow, life.

    Yep, good thing americans weren't involved in that, um like this guy or maybe ...

  13. Re:Panera...time limt on The Case for Free WiFi? · · Score: 1

    Actually, where I am now (Lausanne, Ch) there is a nearby cafeteria which does exactly this. You can log on for x amount of time per 24 hour period. It's free, and plenty power outlets should you need one.

    ohh, I forgot to add - after you give free resources to these people -

    you'll gladly *pay* to see the movie!?!?!

  15. Enlighten Me, please on Rendering Shrek@Home? · · Score: 1
    You would gladly give FREE computer time to the same companies responsible for the RIAA, MPAA, etc. ?

    Are you on crack? Or which entertainment company do you work for?

  16. Re:Almost unbelievable... on Videogame Character Threatens National Security? · · Score: 2, Informative
    I believe that was Tony "the lapdog" Blair, hence the article's reference to "No. 10" as in 10 Downing St.

    We should give credit where credit is due.

  17. Wow... on Projected 'Average' Longhorn System Is A Whopper · · Score: 1
    If the article is true (no I didn't RTFA), this could do more to push IT managers towards alternative platforms, than any other other argument currently being propagated. 2G RAM on the desktop - "get real!" [1]

  18. Good Decision on Apple Rejects RealNetwork's Pleas · · Score: 1
    Real has a deservedly poor reputation. So bad, many people won't install their free product (myself included).

    It could well make some people think twice before purchasing a product that includes or *gasp* requires rp.

    " You have to ask yourself. Is it really the government in the wrong here or is this an expression of the People's Will ? "

    Yeah, scary/sad how so many people can welcome tyranny, or convince themselves it's not real.

  22. Re:certifications mean nothing on Tech Training Schools Going Bust · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Wait a minute!!! You start off bitching about people with certs asking basic questions. Where, in this example you posted, does the author claim to have *any* certifications whatsoever?

    I don't know what certifications you hold, but they aren't for persuasion or logic.

    okay kids,
    "has-been workstation" ?

    get real. I have os x, and I use Sun systems everyday - no comparison. it's makes me gag, to read you making such a simplistic and ignorant comparison. os x can't touch solaris/sparc - sorry game over,that's life. when os x can handle 70+ CPUs in ONE system - give me a call. Otherwise, take your little no experience skinny 14 year old ass back to the farm.

  25. Re:RTFM? on KISS · · Score: 1
    c'mon, is the carrier you utilize really your carrier - if so, start including the features you like. If not, grow a fscking backbone and switch to a carrier that does offer the services you want.

    it's really no wonder large corp.s don't listen to consumers - most are idiots who will keep paying for something less than satisfactory.
