  1. Re:l'etiquette d'cube on Cubicle Etiquette? · · Score: 1

    69 is not appropriate for a cubicle. Get an office with a closing door, your insensitive clod!

  2. Re:Database on An ID Number for Everything · · Score: 1

    Yes, I've never seen a database that returned so many impressive "A Programming Error occurred" messages.

  3. Re:Don't use MP3 on RIAA Tracking Songs by MD5 Hashes · · Score: 1

    I don't think RIAA cares what format you use. If you share huge quantities of ogg files they'll be just as likely to come after you as if you use WMP or MP3. Their issues are not related to MP3 sharing, they're related to music piracy in general.

    The relative merits of different formats are completely irrelevant to the discussion.

  4. Re:Don't use MP3 on RIAA Tracking Songs by MD5 Hashes · · Score: 1

    If you're ripping the files for your own use and not sharing them on the 'net, they don't care about you, so your rhetoric is a bit pointless.

  5. Re:down with spam on Is the Dean Campaign Spamming? · · Score: 1

    Yes, it would be hilarious if someone who wasn't legally allowed to be president ran for the office. Of course, the Supreme Court would probably decide that whole Consititution thing doesn't apply to Republicans.

  6. Re:Still out in Erie on Power Outages Strike East Coast · · Score: 1

    From what I heard, just 3 counties in northwestern PA went out at all; we didn't lose power in Pittsburgh and eastern PA wasn't affected.

  7. Re:Why didn't they buy a Sun? on US Navy buys Apple as Linux Platform · · Score: 1

    Have you looked at the Defense budget lately? It's practically unlimited. As long as no one cares about the deficit and any defense spending, no matter how completely unrelated, can be passed off as part of the war on terrorism, the Navy will remain free to spend whatever the hell they want. No one in Congress is likely to try to cut back their funding.

  8. Re:Why no Mac Classic? on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Well, it's a lot easier to write Cocoa code than Carbon code, and there's really no reason for someone to go back and write all the ugly Carbon code to port something back to an OS that Apple doesn't really encourage new development for.

    It's really time to upgrade.

  9. Re:True on Why Outsource When Workers are Willing to Telecommute? · · Score: 1

    You really think the standard of living and working conditions in India are better than the US?
