  1. Re:It doesn't bother me! on Microsoft Wins HTML App Patent · · Score: 1

    I think you need to change "a" to "the" as in: "he has the secure, most likely well paying job in the IT sector..." because using "a" would imply that there are any left.

  2. not the moon on India Test-Fires Cryogenic Rocket Engine · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I don't see the moon as a target for India's new motors. I see them blasting rockets at the few remaining IT shops in the US. Put us out of our misery for once and for all

  3. Re:I like AT&T on AT&T Wireless Fumbles Number Portability · · Score: 1

    Who cares about taking their phones to France, Germany, or any other country using GSM? Most Americans don't even have a passport. I love the GSM vendors who pimp that as a sales point.

    I suppose Miami counts as an international country, so folks in south florida might use it...

  4. nice time for more embedded linux on Microsoft to Charge for FAT File System · · Score: 1

    and that fat fs can be replaced with... oh, what... choice of about 80 choices?

  5. pity for me on Dell Moves Call Center Back to US · · Score: 1

    that nobody in my company has to read the CODE that EDS & IBMs Indians will soon be writing for us. That might just save my job.

  6. my boss on The Rise of Cyber Bullying · · Score: 2, Funny

    has been bullying me with email for years. "Communicate with the customer or else!", and that type of thing.

  7. I , for one on Gateway Forges Partnership With SuSE · · Score: 3, Funny

    Am waiting for a real partnership between Gateway & SuSE, not one of these bogus 'forged' partnerships.

  9. Rule Number One on Rules for Teenage Internet Access? · · Score: 1

    (although this comment stands a snowball's chance in hell of being seen - 1343 comments(!))

    My only rule for my inner child's internet/computer use is: If you see some REALLY good pr0n, make sure you share it with me.

    but but but Desktop Linux is DEAD!?!?

  11. Re:still amazed on Literacy: Natural Language vs. Code · · Score: 1

    One thing that amazes me, is that at 5:00, somebody seems to push the magical 'reset' button inside people's brains. All of the knowledge accumulated during that day, is magically erased.

    Typically, by the end of the day, I've managed to tutor a user on the art of navigating the hard-drive so they can find there files. But 9:00AM, the next morning, they are once again, lost. "Where are my files?"

    Windows95 changed, dramatically, the way people navigate the box. I like explorer. it's simple. it fast. Even though explorer has changed, moderately, in the last 8 years, it's not changed much(!). Why people can't seem to learn/remember the basics of machine navigation, I'll never know, and I will just have to keep up with windows releases, so I can teach them.

  12. still amazed on Literacy: Natural Language vs. Code · · Score: 2, Interesting

    that the customers I write software for 'work' on their computers 8-10 hours a day, and still have very little 'understanding' of what they are doing.

    These users, which I can only imagine are representative of most computer 'users', don't really care. They simply look at their keyboards, mice, and monitors, and think, "I don't need to understand what I'm doing, all I know is that I need to do this, that, and perhaps another thing, and voila! A paycheck every 2 weeks!"

  13. My God, people on 'Matrix Revolutions' Opens Today · · Score: 1

    it's a MOVIE. It had a beginning, middle, and an END. Relax. Breathe in, breathe out. There you go, good duracells.

  14. Nice Schnozz on Send in the Nasal Rangers · · Score: 1

    what's worse, is that taxpayer money [that's you, bub] is paying this McDonald's rejects salary.

  15. Compliance? on Microsoft Antitrust Compliance Questioned · · Score: 1

    Frankly, I was under the impression that MS was actively developing a non-compliant OS, Longhorn...

  16. Use the card on Can You Sue Over Loss of Personal Information? · · Score: 1

    Charge up the card to it's limit, and refuse to pay. They stole from you, now steal from them.

  18. I'm going to sue on Take-Two Interactive and Sony Sued Over GTA · · Score: 1

    the makers of Pacman (Namco?) because every time I see a tennis ball, I have to eat it.

  19. Probably Redundant, but on New VOIP App. Profiled · · Score: 4, Interesting

    the telecom industry still hasn't figured out that VOIP is going to take more and more $$$ away.

    I wonder just when their lobbyists will get the US congress to outlaw or at least hamper the use of inter/intrastate VOIP?

  20. Re:I agree on Can Lotus Notes R3 Prior Art Save The Browser? · · Score: 1

    Then, my friend, we see eye to eye.

    99% of the time, I'm using the web on my Linux/galeon/no-flash-plugin box (no java, for that matter)

    I want the text, for the most part, and only the text. I'm just that way. [with exception of Hubble ... MmmmMmm. Nebulae. MMmMMM]

    But, as a self-respecting [welcome, flaimbait] Nebraska Cornhusker I will want to be able to VIEW [corn]husker.com SANS plugins [sans IE]. I simply cannot do that unless I switch to my Windows machine. It makes me sick.

    Is it REALLY an Open Letter, or does it fall under SCO's trademark/copyright?

    Perhaps they can build a few here in Florida, too.

    At least the students won't get fat from eating *this* corporate sponsors products.
