    Thats right and the Bamiyan Buddha statue, right in the heart of Afghanistan, blown up by the taliban, was erected by Gengis Kahn - right ? What a crock of revisionist history.

    Sorry you are already maxed at funny. That is the funniest thing I have heard in a while.

  5. Re:I wonder what MS has stolen from firefox on IE7 Announced for Longhorn and WinXP · · Score: 1

    I wish they would simply copy the security (just about everything) and configuration (about:config) features from Mozilla. A few slashdot users will whine but the 90% of browser world will love it !!

  6. Microsoft used FreeBSD on FreeBSD Announces Contest To Replace Daemon Logo · · Score: 1

    daemon character seems cute from somebody's point of view, but somebody may think which does not suit for the professional products to indicate that are using the FreeBSD inside

    Microsoft used it for its TCP/IP stack and a few CLI utilities - they didnt have any problem with the Daemon logo !!

  11. XGI Technologies on ATI at the Top Graphics Chip Maker for 2004 · · Score: 1

    Has anyone tried this company's product. The Volare lineup. This is even mentioned in the article but nothing about marketshare. Recently they had a tie up with Dell for the usual - MOB addition. They have Linux driver support on their site. I hope this will provide us a good alternative to the top two.

  12. Beginnings of HIPPA v2.0 on Tech Giants Push Open Standards for Health Network · · Score: 1

    They thought they could milk it all with v1.0 but now with this stroke, they will cement their annual health systems payola. Look at all the companies involved - software, network and consultants.
    First it payola for just process thru HIPPA and a bit of software. Then they realized that this cow can be milked, they come in with a second bolt.

    End to end digital transactions, open, secure, no more paper forms to fill. More info on digital cards. Swipe and fill forms. No more errors. Did we mention that this is all federally mandated.

    Bottom line - Patients, expect to pay more for insurance and healthcare since someone has to pay for all these smartcards, bioidentities, 100 Ghz computers, 400 layers of software, security, 10 gb networks, switches and massive amounts of storage.

    Shit the doctor had all that data stored in his age old filing cabinet.

    Instead of reinventing the wheel, why not take advatage of another success.

  14. Only thru VMWare or Virtual PC on Spam and Spyware Too Much for Some Users · · Score: 1

    Block your native OS with ZoneAlarm and install VMWare or VPC. Open ZoneAlarm only for the Virtual env. Install another OS in the virtual environment and browse the internet thru that. If you have a spyware/virus problem - fine - trash it and restore it. Actually do the restore every other week if you run a Microsoft OS.

    And - never never visit the any site from your native OS - no matter what browser.

    Also use common sense when you store "important" files and receipts.

  17. Wimax on Regional Bells Blocking Broadband Competition · · Score: 1

    I wish municipalities quickly adopt WiMax and get over this broadband hump. Granted it may not be their most ideal solution but it will surely be cheaper than laying cable and competing with the Bell/Cable duopoly.

    Cockos means a toilet in (south) India !

  19. Re:Not so many comments here.... on Indian Consortium To Offer 2 Mbps At $2.30/month · · Score: 1

    In 1985, India was ruled by a bunch of socialists who rated the rupee against a basket of currencies (whatever that means). The value was kept that way artificially. Since 1991 when (the now Prime Minister) the finance minister Manmohan singh introduced economic reforms and started gradually floating the currency feely (not fully free yet) the value started appreciating in rupee terms. The current downward trend is more due to (thank walmartization) the depreciation of dollar against all major currencies.
