  1. good on Will Munich's Linux Desktops Be Running Windows? · · Score: 1

    I'm glad that they are gonna take it slow in the conversion from Windows to Linux. It can be a pain if you don't and they might be apt to halt the transfer if any signs of dissatisfaction are detected.

  2. Re:Bush did not dodge the draft on White House Obfuscates Email · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry to say but the Vietnamese(at least the ones I know) still hold Ho Chi Minh (sorry bout sp) in high regard( or at least not hating). The US did far more damage to the Vietnamese then the N.V.

  3. don't know who gets tricked on Nationwide Class Action Filed Against DoubleClick · · Score: 1

    I have never heard from anybody I know (many are quite close to computer illiterate) who have clicked on these ads. I think it is hard to mistake them for error messages or anything else, but I do agree that even the attempt to decieve users is wrong.

  4. errr on Mailing Disks is Faster than Uploading Data · · Score: 1

    they also fail to mention the possibility of these hard disks getting lost or stolen. Or better yet the station wagon getting stolen by some idiot...

  5. hmmmm on Public Confused by Tech Lingo · · Score: 1

    I really think that when buying a computer they should give a little standard definition of common computer terms. therefore they may get something close to what they want.

  6. must have info on Addicted to Information? · · Score: 1

    I can see what will happen next.... WAR ON INFORMATION wait a sec... that is happening right now...crap

  7. it's called rebellion on Filesharing Up 10% After RIAA Threatens Users · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The RIAA had to add a new feeling of rebellion to filesharing...just when it was starting to feel normal too. silly RIAA

  8. Re:*slaps forehead and winces* on X-Box Hackers Trying to Blackmail Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    their is no tinfoil...

  9. hmm interesting on Amazon Hacks For Fun and Money · · Score: 1

    I think it is nice that they are trying to improve themselves but I think that they would have profitted more by doing this earlier.

  10. damn on Apple's G5 Speeds Challenged · · Score: 1

    I wish I got hatemail like he did...

  11. Re:un enforceble on Sweden To Outlaw File Sharing, Crypto Breaking? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    errr excuse sp!

  12. un enforceble on Sweden To Outlaw File Sharing, Crypto Breaking? · · Score: 5, Funny

    there is no possible way for them to enforce this.Even if they did I could imagine the headline... 1/3 of population rounded up in latest crackdown on downloading.... story at 11

  13. two word on The Return Of Shareware Games · · Score: -1, Offtopic
  14. Re:and i... on Handspring Shows Treo 600 Smartphone at CeBIT · · Score: 2, Funny

    maybe your fingers are just too big... Now you must buy a special button wand.

  15. Re:Palm? on Handspring Shows Treo 600 Smartphone at CeBIT · · Score: 1

    if you read it says that this is the final handspring product to come out. Read before posting

  16. swiss army knife on Handspring Shows Treo 600 Smartphone at CeBIT · · Score: 1

    wow..this baby comes with alot should help it stand out a little bit but do people need all of this?

  17. good for them on IBM Responds To SCO: Business As Usual · · Score: 1

    I am glad they refuse to bow. Now I am just waiting for the wonderfull splat!!

  18. wasn't that dropping bombs? on Lockheed Martin to Build Nuclear Powered Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    Wasn't project prometheus about dropping the Nukes out the back and channelling the explosions to provide the proper lift? I dunno if that is really enviormentally sound

  19. I remember..... on Glory Days at AOL · · Score: 4, Funny

    the only times I could login was between 11:00pm and 5 AM. Those were the good ole days....

  20. not as bad on Widespread Use of Hydrogen May Hurt Ozone Layer · · Score: 3, Funny

    at least most major cities will be intact and not underwater.

  21. DOJ might not chase this on Microsoft Flouting DOJ Settlement? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    with the current administration in place the DOJ might not go after M$.

  22. arms race on Stronger Anti-Spam Law Proposed · · Score: 1

    this whole spam thing is like an arms race. The more laws and regulations and filters that are created the more sophisticated spammers become. my suggestion is to just make spammers register and leave their name address IP and credit card number on all spam. Then the fun can begin.

  23. doubt ot will catch on too much on Philips Introduces Mirror TV · · Score: 1

    other then the gee-whiz factor I don't think it will catch on too much. Why would a hotel spend the extra money when they don't need to and why would a regular joe ever need a mirror/tv? That is unless people really become that vain and tv addicted.

  24. very nice on A Model End Vendor License Agreement · · Score: 1

    this is great and it sounds like something would be a wonderfull idea. I personally hate EULA's who doesn't?

  25. role reversal on Did SCO 'Borrow' Linux Code? · · Score: 1

    SCO is gonna have a hard time fighting IBM if this article is true. now instead of Linux copying UNIX UNIX copied Linux. Now they are gonna have to be dodging lawsuits and trying to stay out (or go into) bankruptcy. I do have a few concerns. Why would SCO risk the reprecussions of violating the GPL. Why would they take such a risky venture if they knew that they were on legally shakey ground. Why are they still witholding the lines of alleged copied code. Is it because they can be easily removed?(almost assured) or is it because they themselves contributed it to Linux?(somewhat likely) Lastly, this whole confrentation with Novell is a bit disturbing. If they investigated this correctly before filing suit they should have known that the copyrights were never officially transferred. why didn't they ask for the transfer before the lawsuit started? I don't really have answers just questions. enjoy trying to find answers.
