  1. This is just the tip of the iceberg on EU To Take Legal Action Against Microsoft · · Score: 2

    They are going to have more of this in the years to come. More of the customers will be coming after in the coming years. With everything from price gouging to bad products. Not fun a fun time for Microsoft

  2. Nothing beats Lynx on Classic Browsers Given New Life · · Score: 2

    Sorry guys I still love my lynx

  3. Sockect 7 and AMD on Yet Another K6 Series From AMD · · Score: 2

    Some say Socket 7 is an old technology yes this is true, but does that make bad no.
    Just because AMD plays to people who like to keep their good old socket 7 motherboards
    does make them stupid. They know alot of people do not like change and/or
    Do not like the big boys (Intel) so this is the crowd they are playing to.
    I call that marketing.

  4. Rumor Mill on CNET And MozOffice: Mountains And Molehills? · · Score: 1

    How many time was a rumor posted on /. or /. just got the information wrong. Plenty of times.This nothing new.

    This guy James Russel was just talking about the idea of using Mozilla as the front end of Star Office.

    Then the media takes it and make into a big deal.

    How many times we heard Microsoft was going to open up thier source code?

    We need to take everything with a grain of salt. Think about it.

  5. That not a bug it's a feature on Biotransistors · · Score: 5

    Brings a new meaning to that phrase. And I quote "Now we are turning a problem into a feature."

  6. This does not mean anything on Microbes Survive Space Trip · · Score: 1

    All this means is the possibility of the microbes hitched a ride to earth. It still does not answer how are they formed.

    All this means is that they could have. If single celled organisms can survive be created else where why not earth.

    Also there are theories out there that state that micro oraganisms are formed from with in the a planet. So for all you know we could have came from below.

  7. Just Start Writing on Overcomming Programmer's Block? · · Score: 1

    This sounds crazy but sometimes you need to just start writing code down does not matter what is.
    Sometimes you just need to start doing something. Once you get the fingers going you start thinking on what you need to do.
    This what helps me to do my working when I am stuck on just starting.

  8. Life on another planet on Simulating Life On The Red Planet · · Score: 1

    I wonder if they would send the criminals other planets maybe all the MPAA and RIAA could be sent

  9. Information on Slashback: Speed, Reprieves, Geometry · · Score: 1

    Law like that make me sick. I do not use drugs or care to start any time soon. Yet if someone wants to start using marijuana for medical reasons. Then they should if it was authurized by a doctor. It is easier to get morphine from a doctor than to can get marijuana. Also if someone want to get infomation about drugs they can get it from alot of different sources. Also how would search engines deal with this problem. People are tring to do crazy things these days.

  10. They Don't want to be left behind on USPS To Offer Free E-Mail · · Score: 1

    The post office is one of the very few government agencies that is self supporting. They are also a business, so like any business they need to make sure their services they offer are what the people would want or need (mostly want people do not always get what they need). They already offer an bill paying service on the internet. They want to look like they are looking into the future. So they are coming out with new product for the public. This is just the begining.

  11. This should be interesting on Red Hat 7.0 Beta Is Out · · Score: 1

    What do we have here? We mozilla,kde,redhat,linux 2.4,Xfree86. Beta Beta Beta all over the place we should do something about this and get these things up and running so we won't be stuck in the mud for to long

  12. KDE on KDE 2.0 Beta 3 Is Out · · Score: 1

    KDE 2.0 will allow the world take a second look at the OSS movement and say WOW they can even get a desktop enviroment right. Congrats to the KDE team

  13. Don't Call it a comeback I been here for years on Suck Says Mozilla Is Dead · · Score: 1

    Mozilla is not dead he shall rise agian. With AOL behind Mozilla. In no time it will get alot of it market share back. Imagine what would happen if AOL start a direct mail campaign with Netscape. They could easily start gaining back the market share they lost.

  14. The love of science on Delaying Our Visit To The Last Planet · · Score: 1

    This another example where the love can not be justfied with dollars sad

  15. Understand fully your problem on Preventing Vendors From Playing The Blame Game? · · Score: 1

    Whne you have a problem first step is to understand why you believe it is not working. This is the hardest part and it should not be your job if you are for support. It reality if you go to your tech support with the exact problem. It make everyone jobs easier.

  16. Nothing is stoping them from doing it now on New Zealand Government To Snoop On E-mail · · Score: 1

    In reality it is already being done but not only by the government. It being done by script kiddies and crackers. Your government is already looking at your e-mail they just want permission to do it now.

  17. Safer choice than irradtion of food on Force Fields And Plasma Shields Get Closer · · Score: 1

    What I like about this is the fact you can use it to sterilize foods so they can been sfer to eat and we can produce more and maybe even help so poor guy eat (Wishfull think here)

  18. Would it help AOL? on IMUnified: Playing Red Rover With AOL · · Score: 1

    Would it allow some traffic to be diverted from there servers or just cause more? Also if ICQ decided to create a module so they can join in the fun AOL could not do a thing and they could not do what they did with MSN either. I think this a PR stunt that they need so they would not have the same problems like microsoft did. I like that they are doing this it should be interesting.

  19. The question is on Interbase Open Source Release · · Score: 1

    Will this send a message to Microsoft/Oracle? I hope so. So people implement it at home where you can so we can make it the best product out there.

  20. How quickly we are cracked on Geek Flavor · · Score: 1

    The person who created this project even how noble it was simply didn't think everything through when setting the site up. Hopefully he will learn from this experience and create a better service

  21. Just a matter of time on Sony Announces GScube Development System · · Score: 1

    Someone is going port linux to this thing.

  22. There are More than one theory out there on Can Bacteria Survive Space Vacuum, UV? · · Score: 2

    There is a theory that there is life in the bacterial life within the moon. If conditions are hot enough within the moon then such life can exist. The theory even states that is where life may have from when the earth was formed within the core of the earth. It is just another theory.

  23. Most people will want to wait on "Big Publishing's Worst Nightmare" · · Score: 1

    I would personally want to wait for the book. There is nothing better the sitting at home readng a good book. It is very hard to get into a long document that is on the screen and I really don't want to print out either. Well that is just me.

  24. I love this line on Civil Disobedience and DeCSS · · Score: 2

    "And corporations won't be the only ones hurt. Artists will have no incentive to create."
    Artist don't only create to get paid that create to express themselves to see if they can capture the public's eye this has nothing to with the artist but the corporations.
