  1. Re:Accuracy? Who Needs It! on Xerox's 'Intelligent Redaction' Scanners · · Score: 1

    There is more use for this product than just lawyer offices. My mother works for childrens services in washingon state.
    she has to manually redact a lot of police reports & case worker reports.
    granted, with this product, it would automate it, but someone will always have to proof read the document.
    hopefully if DSHS gets these, she'll still have a job.

  2. Re:Great on iPhone, iPod Touch 1.1.1 Firmwares Jailbroken · · Score: 1

    I never used Jailbreak before and don't plan to.
    Let me know when iToner works again.
    It was foolish of me to update from 1.0.2.

  3. Re:If even Thurrott is saying this... on Is Windows Vista Ready? 'No. God, no.' · · Score: 1

    I was thinking the same, but GNU/Hurd instead.

  4. Re:duh on 24 Hours with G4 · · Score: 1

    Seriously.... does any one watch this channel still? I was forced to watch G4 once they took over TechTV, and I watched it for a while after. I'll admit that I liked shows like Icon & Cinematech. About a year ago I couldn't stand it anymore.... what it's turned out to be is a rip off of Spike TV. Comcast, I bet (and hope) is losing money hand over fist with this channel.

  5. Re:Get a good lawyer. on Advice for Building a Multi-Platform Lyrics Database? · · Score: 1

    I agree about the lawyer, but this is not the record companies field.
    They have domain over the actual song, but the written lyrics of the songs.
    Those are delt with by ASCAP/BMI.
    Just as the famed PearLyric app for Mac OS X has found out....

    If you don't have the funds to pay to ASCAP/BMI (the good guys), then you're pretty much screwed.

  6. Re:The secret on Apple Surpasses Dell's Market Value · · Score: 1

    "but the people who buy the mac mini, iMac and iPod's aren't worried about the underlying technology."

    Not true. I bought a mini so I could actually get a mac. Not all of us can throw out $1500+ on a computer.

  7. Re:Procedural textures on Carmack's QuakeCon Keynote Detailed · · Score: 1
  8. Re:Wait a minute... on Microsoft Sues Google For Hiring MS Exec · · Score: 1

    Having worked in an industry that has contracts all the time, a good deal of those non-compete clause, agreements, ect. have been taken to court, with the contract found unconstitutional.

    Could be different here.

    Clear Channel has a ton of clout, but not as much pull as Microsoft does.

  9. For the metal fans.... on Possible Breakthroughs in Cancer and AIDS Research · · Score: 1

    Great concept, pineapple juice.

  10. Re:All of it? on Cartoon Network Acquires Neon Genesis Evangelon · · Score: 1

    "Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon are kids' shows. Evangelion is not" I can't speak for Sailor Moon, but have you seen the original Japanese VHS? I'd hardly call DBZ (DB more so) for kids, just some episodes specifically.

  11. meh.... on Simpsons Film in Preproduction · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'll probably wait to watch it on DVD, while enjoying freshly picked Tomacco.

  12. About time... on Earthlink Sponsors Cheap Linux PCs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I worked for an out sourced call center for Earthlink in late 03. At that time, Earthlink didn't support Linux at all.

    I had about 3 calls about people wanting to set up Kppp, but I was told by my supervisor to not say anything but "Earthlink does not support any linux distribution"

    One other call was someone calling for a number, but at the time we had to ask what OS they were using, and I did as my supervisor told me to do....

    Right after I gave the statement, the caller gave me an ass chewing, saying that he just needed a number because he just moved to a new state.

    I'm glad to see that one of the bigger dial up companies has changed their stance on Linux... or have they? Anyone know?

  13. Re:New! Managerial staff, now 100% content-free! on Meet Microsoft's Linux Lab Head Bill Hilf · · Score: 1

    "Start flame war now, but if you've met Microsoft people in Redmond, they are not 'utterly devoid of opinions'"

    Just when I needed mod points.....

    Most people don't know how true this is.

  14. Don't forget people! on Run Two 30" Apple Cinema Displays on a PC · · Score: 1

    Those Apple displays are also wall mountable. There goes your desk space argument.

  15. Re:Let's get the politics out of the way on Slashback: Electioneering, Blimps, Shuffling · · Score: 1
    From juan2074's article http://www.seattleweekly.com/features/0445/041110_ news_election.php

    During the budget debate, it was, "Don't raise taxes during a recession."

    During the gubernatorial campaign, it was, "Twenty years of Democratic control of Olympia has ruined the state's economy--it's time for

    a change."

    I tend to agree, the last Dem Governor really screwed things up, but I'm willing to see how Gregoire works out.

    "Seriously though, looking at the list, there are some stunning show stoppers. Photoshop CS!!?! " Remember that Phototshop CS2 will be out soon... now would be a great time to upgrade. /sarcasm

    The first PlayStation had the unoffical PSX, then they named the PlayStation media center PSX,.

    So the PS3 will be just, PS3.

    My question is, what does Bruce Perens think of this?

  21. Re:Marketspeak on Brainshare Reports: NLD 10, Novell's Linux Switch · · Score: 1

    "Not to forget the little sticker saying: 'Now with 30% less fat!'" You mean a distro without Gnome or KDE?

  22. double standard..... on Arcade Kit Seller Applies for MAME Trademark [updated] · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Go ahead & mod me down or a troll if you wish...

    but when it comes to Linux, we (./ers) want to abolish IP laws, but when it comes to MAME, we want them to be enforced?

    Maybe I'm not seeing the entire picture here.....

    but if this about trademark, then I'm all for making Ultracade an example.

  23. Re:Typical user? on Walmart Expands Low-End Linux Notebook Offerings · · Score: 1

    If you don't want Linspire, then ditch it...

    The bottom line for me, is that all the hardware is penguin friendly, and that's what matters.

    So, I'll end up tossing Linspire out & throw Debian or SuSE on it.

  24. Re:Benchmarks? on First Program Executed on L4 Port of GNU/HURD · · Score: 1

    Since I have one of those proprietary 5.1 surrand sound cards that really aren't usuable without configuring ALSA, whenever the system boots up, it just crashes the sound subsystem, everything else runs perfectly fine.
