  1. Re:Seriously? on Survey Shows That Fox News Makes You Less Informed · · Score: 1

    My research shows World Public Opinion is sponsored by the Liberal-leaning, Socialist-loving University of Maryland (the state where 70% of the government is Democrat).

    Please defend this claim. y'know with some facts and not personal opinion.

  2. Re:Thunderbird Public Service Announcement on Outage Knocks Gmail Offline For Many Users · · Score: 1

    I stand corrected. Seems the calendar feature in Live accounts is no longer a fee-for-service.

  3. Re:Thunderbird Public Service Announcement on Outage Knocks Gmail Offline For Many Users · · Score: 1

    Microsoft supports Outlook 2003/2007 integration with Hotmail via their "Outlook Connector" plugin. Works fantastically, even synchs calendar data if you are paying them for the calendar features in your "Live" account. It's been around since 2006, and there were earlier incarnations under different names. more info: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA102218231033.aspx

  4. Re:Oh, that's all right then on Facebook Scrambles To Contain ToS Fallout · · Score: 4, Insightful

    On a laptop, using a touch pad it is easy to accidently click in a popup. It just takes a light tap.

    That's why real laptops (Thinkpads) come with trackpoint devices. :)

  5. Re:One anti-competative practice down, many to go. on Internet-Based Realtors Win Monster Settlement · · Score: 1

    Those 'brokers' you refer to may not be Realtors©. In fact in the two cities I have experience with (SF & Boston), the vast majority of agents at rental agencies were not even licensed real estate professionals.

  6. Re:Competition drives down prices! on HD DVD Prices Slashed By Toshiba · · Score: 1

    The difference is that if you pick Delta airlines over TWA, Wow, you really don't fly often! TWA was bought up by American Airlinse some years back (2000-2001 time frame).
  7. Re:It's a game on Scammers Continue to Wreak Havoc in MMO's · · Score: 1

    Second Life doesn't isn't really a "game." It's more like a "virtual world." Only if you take it seriously. Otherwise it's just a game.
  8. Misleading title (yet again) on Number of Cellphones Now Equal To Half the Human Species · · Score: 1

    So why would Zonk go and change the perfectly apt Firehose title supplied by the submitter to something that is entirely incorrect? Oh, it's /. that's why. :S

  9. Re:"a leading provider of UNIX(R)software technolo on Nasdaq to Delist SCO Sep 27 · · Score: 1

    But SGI stopped selling it's UNIX(R) software & technology earlier this year. IRIX(R) is no longer available thru SGI's normal channels, and support ends in 2013 ("no sooner than 12/2013" is the quote). And all their current hardware runs SUSE or RedHat Linux or even Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 software now.

  10. MATCH School in Boston on Bringing Science and Math Into Writing? · · Score: 1

    You should talk to someone at the MATCH School in Boston http://www.matchschool.org/. They are a charter public school which, despite what you may think based on the name acronym (Media And Technology Charter Highschool), stresses reading & writing throughout all subject matter.

  11. Re:Cooling can always be made active these days. on GeForce 7950 GT Launches With Passive Cooling · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Gee, ya think? But wasn't the point here that this card got these kind of stats WITHOUT active cooling (and thereby not requiring one to give up another slot as your advice puts forth).

  12. Re:Jason's design on Slashdot CSS Redesign Contest Update · · Score: 1

    I like his design too, but it has some issues.

    1) In IE 6 (.0.02900.2180) the upper left corner of each box initially draws itself rather oddly.
    2) resizing text in same version of IE has little effect on the text, but does muck up the spacing of some graphic elements. Interestingly, changing font size fixes issue #1.

  13. Thinkpad's w/ TPM Security Chip offer this on NetBSD's Crypto-Graphic Disk · · Score: 1
    And other PC makers who offer Trusted Platform Module subsystems probably do as well. The IBM/Lenovo Client Security Solution works great. It's actually Utimaco Private Disk software.

    In fact the real beauty of this solution is that it can be set up to replace the standard windows login with one which uses the TPM, and can then 'unlock' as much or as little of your other TPM secured data as you like. My only complaint is that the password manager doesn't work w/ Firefox/Thunderbird, so I can't have TRUE single sign-on. But if I were to just use IE, it would be.

  14. Re:illegal access! on Using Google Maps to Get Out of a Traffic Ticket · · Score: 1

    Actually -- not if he was in Manhattan -- my company, http://wwww.courtroomconnect.com/">Courtroom Connect, provides public wifi internet services at the Manhattan courthouses, among others around the country. Yes, we do charge for it, but hey, we gotta feed our kids. Sorry if some consider this a shameless plug, but I thought it at least somewhat more relevant than some of the "I got a ticket too once!" posts.

  16. Poster -- please RTFA on Lean Mean Grilling PC Mod · · Score: 1

    "What LOOKS like a mini-itx" ??? Did you even read the article you posted? It says very clearly on the first page:
    "the iGrill is a 600Mhz Mini-ITX motherboard, an 80GB hard drive, and a 250W PSU, running Gentoo Linux, all enclosed in a George Foreman grill"

  17. Dark Tips = Dark beer? on Inside TechTV/G4 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm just trying to figure out how homebrewing beer & purifying vodka tie into a computer technology show. And one that seemingly more and more is catering to an under 21 crowd at that.

  18. Re:Now who can we blame for downloading GB of stuf on WEP And PPTP Password Crackers Released · · Score: 1

    This in fact is not a 'new' or 'post 9/11' development. Landlords accross the country have been held responsible for the goings-on in their properties for years.
