  1. Current Situation on WindowsUpdate.com Secured, Permanently · · Score: 1

    windowsupdate.com does not resolve: pinging or tracert does not work

    windowsupdate.microsoft.com works (asks for I.E. 5)

    microsoft.com no problems (thay have a nice link on how to stop the baster worm though...)

  2. Re:Paranoia on OSDL Releases Q&A on SCO Legal Actions · · Score: 1

    I thought it would be better. They can subpoena SCO and threaten them with a nice lawsuit...

  5. Re:whats the big deal on New Transmeta Chip: "Efficeon" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The Big Deal is

    Pentium 4-M 2.0Ghz = Thermal Design 32W (but actual power dissipation is higher)

    Crusoe = 1W

    About the "substandart" performance, the JIT compiler is optimized constantly (on the fly) so every benchmark runs faster every time it's run.

    BTW, why do you mean by "substandart" performance? You don't need a P4 to use Word/Excel or listen to MP3 while surfing the net. My old PII 333 did that w/ no sweat.

    Playing DVD's you say... It can play them... Without dropping frames.

    I guess not. The speed in "what really matters", i.e. rotates, blends, effects will be the same.

    Of course the U.I. that Wine offers sucks (so slow), but I guess thay may have fine tuned this...

    BTW, why use MIRC in Linux with WINE????

  11. Denial on SCO "Disappointed" by Red Hat Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    SCO has not been trying to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt to end users.

    That's called denial

  17. Re:Patents are evil for software on Yahoo! Settles Patent Dispute · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think the best way to counter stupid laws is by abusing them. Let's start patenting everything that "may"be usd in the future, products that don't exist today because of technicalities, etc... Like: Method to use multiple keys to extend keyboard capabilities (Shift+a = A) Method for finding substrings in a great quantity of text (grep)

  18. Re:Time to update GPL? on IBM Points Out SCO's GPL Software Distribution · · Score: 1

    Add something like this...

    I have a very simple solution that hits the problem like a baseball bat. Listen to music using headphones. Two reasons: 1 - It will boost my concentration like 400% 2 - It will avoid getting distracted by avoiding you turning your head (since it's plugged in the computer and the wire is short.
