  1. Erza Jane Maranda Gasoc - an Estonian e-resident from the Philippines owns a "graveyard" of tax-debt-ridden companies. Since the person has no ties to "real life" Estonia, there is almost zero chance the government will be able to claim these debts. The identity is clearly used as a front by local businessmen for tax evasion.

  2. sue them on EU Conducts Test Flights To Assess Impact of Volcanic Ash On Aircraft · · Score: 1

    It is possible that the airlines are collecting data (while they can) to be able to sue the agencies once this is over.

  3. size matters on UPS Setup For a Small/Mid-Size Company? · · Score: 1

    If the size of your company is best described by ~30 employees, the fact is that you will never be able to make it financially feasible to run your own infrastructure with a high enough service level. In this case it is best to move the infrastructure out to a service provider. On the other hand it is possible that you are not accurately describing your operation (multiple domain controllers for 30 people)?

  4. Re:LED Backlight on The X300 Could Usher in a New Generation of ThinkPads · · Score: 5, Informative

    I'm sorry, but you are wrong. X60s and X61s do not have LED backlight screens.

  5. Sun Ray on How Would You Make a Distributed Office System? · · Score: 1

    Just run good thin clients in the remote office. Such as the Sun Ray.

  6. Veritas Storage Foundation on Automated Tiered Storage Coming to Desktops? · · Score: 1

    Quality of Storage Service (QoSS) has been a feature in Veritas Storage Foundation for two years or so.

  7. Re:"Made in the USA" used to matter on Judging The Apple 'Sweatshop' Charge · · Score: 1

    Lumping Taiwan in with Sri Lanka, China or Malaysia only shows your ignorance. You truly must be made in America.

  8. sadly, windows will work just fine on Breathing Life Into Older Computers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My parents only recently upgraded their 166MHz PII with 64MB memory that was running Windows NT 4.0 exceptionally well. It worked fine for browsing the web, etc, albeit being a little slow on large flash animations

  9. no speed / capacity bandwagon on Another Format War: DVD -R9 v. +R9 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The article makes a mistake in presuming there is a speed / capacity choice to be made when buying the burner. In fact all currently available DL drives will write -R/+R at one speed and +R9 at a different, lower speed. For instance the NEC ND-3500 will write -R/+R at 16x, but will only write +R9 at 4x.

  10. purdy pieces! on Transparent Aluminum Is Here · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Attractive optical properties" must be nerd talk for "pretty"...

  11. Re:The winner is foo@bar.com on Where Do Dummy Email Addresses Go? · · Score: 1

    In many cases the user is given a good "example": name@company.com - 3,120

  12. Re:Hard Drive on iPod Jr. Rumors Become More Substantial · · Score: 0

    This does not bring it to the price range being mentioned regarding the new iPod. The street price of the Nitrus seems to be more in the region of $200. Correct me if I'm wrong.

  13. Junior is not necessarily smaller on iPod Jr. Rumors Become More Substantial · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Many readers seem to think that the new iPod will be smaller. My guess is, it will only be smaller in capacity and price, not size. It is hard to imagine a 2GB capacity without a hard drive. And a microdrive unit is not going to be this cheap. So I would guess it will be the same size and possibly more flimsy, lower quality. That's all.

  14. Re:Microsoft Games Goddamnit!! on Weird Presents Anyone? · · Score: 0

    At least you have a good reason not to play it ;)

  15. Pentel Hybrid Technica on When Word Processors Are Out: What's The Best Pen? · · Score: 0

    Pentel Hybrid Technica - cheap and fine, perfect for my geeky tiny scribble.

  16. Not to mention the quality on MP3 Creator On Sharing Music · · Score: 0

    It's interesting to note how the interview almost completely ignores the technical side to mp3. The reseachers were very concerned with sound quality, but we never get a chance to learn how satisfied they were with the results.

    I wouldn't mind knowing what they think of competing compression formats and other mp3 encoders/decoders - since the generic Fraunhofer codec isn't used much, if I understand correctly.
