  1. Re:Ground up my backside -- That was the goal, may on Is Microsoft Silent Before a Deadly Storm? · · Score: 1

    Since when was DOS made in-house? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOS

  2. Re:He's still in denial... on Bill Gates Speaks Out · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This caught my eye too. It appears Mr. Gates has selectively forgotten UNIX's (not to mention many others) heritage, systems which were specifically designed to operate on networks and ultimately the Internet.

    Sigh, what a poor way to cover up Windows' inadequacies when it comes to networking.

    Nice to see people aren't buying this crap.

  3. Re:Strange Partnership on Symantec, Veritas Merger Approved · · Score: 2, Informative

    I would assume the software company. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veritas_Software

  4. Leaks? on First Look at Apple's Intel Developer Macs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Now that Think Secret has confirmed that developers have the Mactel machines, will it only be a matter of time before OS X leaks out onto the Internet? Perhaps the previous stories were a little premature, but as soon as the protection mechanism on these machines is understood, it's only a matter of time.

  5. ooooh man on Tuning The Kernel With A Genetic Algorithm · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Stole my idea...

  6. Re:Sender ID Framework info on AOL Will Not Support Sender-ID · · Score: 1

    From the website: "These three draft technical specifications were recently submitted to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and other industry organizations for review and comment." Hmm... not updated yet I guess...

  7. This looks like... on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    Command and Conquer with some Captain Proton thrown in for good measure.

  8. Re:Hype Machine. (Mod up) on PS3 To Use Blu-Ray Technology · · Score: 1

    As a Dreamcast owner (*sigh*) I think the parent post needs modding up.

  9. Link of photo of a young girl, not cluster! on SGI & NASA Plan 10240-Processor Altix Cluster · · Score: 1

    Not a render of the cluster! (I don't even want to guess how old she is.)

  10. Re:Bzzt on Former Windows Chief on Microsoft Vs. Open-Source · · Score: 1

    The United Kingdom disagrees...

  11. Re:What a cop out! on Microsoft and Lindows Settle Trademark Case · · Score: 1

    This also seems to indirectly validate Microsoft's claim on the term "Windows".

  12. Re:Mainstream Media on 4 New "Extremely Critical" IE Vulnerabilities · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Several newspapers in the UK have already printed stories about the problems in IE and have recommended Firefox and Opera. Its only a matter of time before TV does the same.

  13. Back to the Future quote... on 'Smart' Clothing: A Fashion Show · · Score: 1


    Your jacket is now dry.

  14. Re:Windows suffers same problem on Linux vs. Windows: Choice vs. Usability · · Score: 1

    I've got to argue with this. The Windows 98 destktop is EXACTLY the same as the XP desktop.

    Regardless of chunky buttons and bright colours, there is still a start button, task bar, recycle bin (although it changed position in XP). The close, minimise and maximise buttons are all in the same positions and still have the same symbols.

    There is no real difference at all, because if there was you would be hearing about it from all the Joe ServicePacks and technically incompetant users of the world.

  15. Sony products on NIST Releases Study Of CD/DVD Longevity · · Score: 1


    yep... the PS2

  16. You know your a nerd when... on Embarrassing Dispatches From The SCO Front · · Score: 2, Funny


    ...you think Linus Torvalds is a celebrity.

  17. This would be a good thing if: on New Kazaa Lite Protects Identity · · Score: 1

    (1) There wasn't so much crap on the fast track network. (Although it can't be beaten for mp3s)

    (2) Other, better, P2P software followed their lead. [Shameless Shareaza Ad]

  18. "Rip-proof" on More Incompatible DVDs and CDs Coming Your Way · · Score: 1


    did no one else laugh at this?
