  1. Re:Their Software on Disney Switches To Linux For Animation · · Score: 1

    Wow, you went to Disney World for your honeymoon... hot. Your new wife let you talk shop with Disney folks.... hot.

  2. oh man on Yet Another "Last Mile" Option · · Score: 1

    I was hoping that they would use the that specturm for cordless phones so I could finally build that 12 mile long Beer Pong tourtement hall I've been aspiring to make... But I don't want to miss calls... So I guess it'll have to wait.

  3. I takes a big man to say... on UK Reconsiders Expansion of Surveillance Powers · · Score: 2

    "We believe we got it wrong and we need to address fears people have." I give Mr Blunkett credit for taking that stance.

  4. Re:Wow, like this hasn't happened before... on Circuit City Phases Out VHS · · Score: 1

    yah, you are right... I must admit I did a post before I really read. I noticed it like two seconds after I posted... I wish there was a way to retract comments.

  5. Re:I agree on Monopolists Dropped Off At The County Line · · Score: 1

    How often does Apache release a new patch for a hole that would compromise the entire system?

    How about today? Apache Vulnerability Announced

    Is this the part where you call me a troll again?

  6. Re:Wow, like this hasn't happened before... on Circuit City Phases Out VHS · · Score: 1

    Usally the albums I buy aren't in video format.

  7. Re:Mod up parent!!! on Monopolists Dropped Off At The County Line · · Score: 1

    Thanks man... The person that used bold tags like 10 mins after I wrote this got a 4, Funny... and me.. I get a 0... what a troll I have become.

  8. Re:I agree on Monopolists Dropped Off At The County Line · · Score: 1

    Obviously you haven't heard of a site lisence... And you're right... Redhat is so free and they never come out with new versions. But besides that, personel qualified to operate linux computers are more expensive then personel qualified to run windows... end of story...

    You act like there has never been a unix virus. That linux admins work for free.

    That's BS. If you train personel to use linux suddenly they will have skills that will land them in jobs that pay a little better then the goverment jobs they had.

    Make a good point about where linux is going to be cheaper to run then an NT network.

  9. Re:I agree on Monopolists Dropped Off At The County Line · · Score: 0

    Damn dawg, you must love paying taxes. I'd be heated if I had to start paying my local government to hire linux sys admins and pay for training the 100s of secritaries to use StarOffice.

  10. Re:ummm on Monopolists Dropped Off At The County Line · · Score: 1, Informative

    I don't think they said you couldn't purchase software from a criminal... I think they can't purchase goods from monopolists... I don't think there are a lot of open source developers out there that have been in trouble for owning a monopoly.

  11. PLUG on Monopolists Dropped Off At The County Line · · Score: 1, Funny

    .... I think it should be noted that the domain that hosts the discusion list they have is mybutt.com. I don't know wheather to laugh or cry.

  12. Re:If the RIAA wins... on Lawsuit Challenges Copy-protected CDs · · Score: 1

    I don't know if the naming would be the reason they would have a case.. I mean that's kinda like saying that there is a problem with the music industry calling CDs "CD" is inapporiat because their size is no longer compact.

  13. If the RIAA wins... on Lawsuit Challenges Copy-protected CDs · · Score: 1

    ... would moption picture industry follow? DVD protection schemes to disable their discs from playing in computers... do you think that hardware manufactors of DVD for PCs would have a case against them?

  14. Re:Oh no on Lawsuit Challenges Copy-protected CDs · · Score: 1

    Sorry I forgot to include those tags.

  15. Oh no on Lawsuit Challenges Copy-protected CDs · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I thought the war was over... Didn't Napster file chapter 11? They were obviously the heart of the problem... the only justifible means of bankrupting two kids who mainstreamed file sharing. So now they are out on the streets, mission acomplished... no need for CD-protection schems...

  16. Re:Phynd? No thanks. on Will Cable Unplug the File Swappers? · · Score: 1

    No doubt... Those are all good points...

    I wish there was some good software to limit bandwidth spend on the LAN... How about something that limited bandwidth, or totally unshared directories, while the user was at the computer.. How about some decent logging for windows filesharing... The only thing I've found (which also just plain sucked) was netwatcher pro... and that was only good for logging/blocking.

  17. Re:UConn. on Will Cable Unplug the File Swappers? · · Score: 1

    Obviously you didn't know that the primary function on the Internet on UConn's main campus is for downloading full length girls gone wild videos... can't be done on 5 gigs a week.

  18. Re:UConn. on Will Cable Unplug the File Swappers? · · Score: 1

    There is no need for a gNUTella on campus... If you are on the ethernet, then you have access to uconn.phynd.net... (everyone should check out www.phynd.net) it crawls through the Microsoft File Sharing network and creats a searchable database of all shared files.... It's the best (and by far the fastest) way to fly on the UConn Storrs campus. Blah Blah, install Samba.

  19. Hit to the ideal internet on Will Cable Unplug the File Swappers? · · Score: 1

    The essence of the internet community is one that is free in speach (take a look at open source). Buy putting caps on bandwidth, the idea's on the internet get curved by a finical factor.

    Sounds like a not so good idea to me...

    But I can think of an upside... Think about the argument you could make against spyware in a class-action when they start using your not-so-free bandwidth.

  20. Re:Local stations? on Satellite Radio - XM vs. Sirius? · · Score: 1

    I believe there are XM/AM/FM tuners.

  21. Re:First Post! on Satellite Radio - XM vs. Sirius? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    There always has to be one of you.... thanks for nothing insightful or even funny.

  22. Re:Feeling the /. on See the Web, Touch the Web? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I use one at home, @ work it's a different story.

  23. Legos! on Lego Allowing Open-Source OS · · Score: 2

    Why doesn't anyone make a case for PC's out of LegoS? I've seen the MAc ones before...

  24. Portable? on Audiohighway awarded patent on digital audio players · · Score: 1

    Well Jeez, if my laptop is portable, and I have winamp on it, and it has a headphone jack.... Hmmm How many copies of winamp are floating around on laptops out there? Who is responcible for the pantent violation, winamp or the laptop manufature.

    How about digital cammeras that can record video. They have mic's on them, they 'store and play downloaded content'.

    Who the hell gave this patent to audiohighway?

  25. Feeling the /. on See the Web, Touch the Web? · · Score: 1

    One tends to wonder exactly what a /. feels like. Personaly, I just want mouse with better traction on the mouse ball.
