  1. Satellite dish illegal on 20 Year Anniversary of Home Taping Decision · · Score: 4, Insightful

    At one time, it was illegal to privately own and take down channels with a satellite dish here(nothern europe). Because it was only the national(goverment owned) telegraph and broadcasting who was allowed to do that which ment you were forced to buy into the national cable system(where available)
    Of couse that didn't stop companies from selling dishes and renting out decoders for movie channels etc. And it didn't stop me from buying one and installing it.
    The law was later removed.

    I said,,, for those who care.
    I do not.

  3. Re:Why on Apache Cookbook · · Score: 1

    I agree for most parts but shouldn't it be better for handeling high traffic websites?

  4. Re:Remember Procter and Gamble on NetBSD Announces Logo Design Competition · · Score: 1

    They eventually changed their logo to dull stylized letters.
    Are you nuts??
    There are heavy sexual references in that logo. It seems to be promoting threeway intercourse. Look at the 'P' (which we all know what really stands for), almost spoons the willing '&', while the (very open) 'G' tries to pull away from the two arms of the '&' that tries to embrace it. It is very erotic and shoud be removed.

  5. Re:It's not that they're devils .... on NetBSD Announces Logo Design Competition · · Score: 1

    but here: For instance, an industry standard connection for peripherals is idiosyncratically retermed "FireWire" (or should we just be honest and call it "HellFireWire"?) while the familiar Recycle Bin is given its new cult name of "Trash Can".
    I mean "HellFireWire" is a bit far fetched, even for that page and "Trash Can", where's the devil in that.
    Besides from that, I would love to meet a guy like that, while I am wearing a FreeBSD T-shirt.

  6. Save Disney site. on Disney Shuts Down 2D Animation Studio · · Score: 5, Informative

    Save Disney Save Disney site for those who cares.

  7. Re:police will be happy on Yahoo and Unilateral Anti-Spam Technology? · · Score: 1

    Anyone here should know that anonymity and the internet are two words together that don't make sense. And I don't know about agencies where you live, but where I live the ISP's have "accepted" the installation of hands-off no-access for employees, "black" cabinets.

  8. Re:The Office on Hitchhiker's Guide Film Reports · · Score: 1

    I saw it for the first and last time yesterday. To me it was slow and boring although it was a plus that it lacked the censoring and PC crap that makes American comedy shows toothless and trivial. I guess I will give it another go. :)

  9. Re:Everything is made cheap and unrepairable... on Obtaining Replacement Parts for Your Laptop? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Which reminds me, I am just waiting for my 6 years old 29" Sony black triniton to break down so that I can buy myself a plasma screen. I just can't bring myself to swap the working tv with a flatscreen when comparing the quality of the picture.

  10. Re:Any ideas? on Apartment Lit Solely by LEDs · · Score: 1

    Any ideas on why led lights for the home are not more widely available? The technology is not new
    Take a look at the pictures, they will tell you why.

    Now I think it could work, But whats up will all the different colors?
    Besides, I don't think that flatpanel will last long in the kitchen right there. If they ever cook food there it will be all greasy in no time, but then again, it doesn't look like one of those kitchens you actually use.

  11. Re:150 Watts? on First Look At Intel Tejas & Socket 775 · · Score: 1

    True, but it does put seti@home into another perspective.

  12. Re:150 Watts? on First Look At Intel Tejas & Socket 775 · · Score: 1

    How about, "Time to invest in Zalman"
    The P4 heatsink/fan that came with it was really noisy. But I guess that is only an issue with homebuilt PCs since my IBM P4 at work does not make any noise. I opened it to look at it and it had a no fan on the CPU but a cooling duct connecting it to a big fan at the back of the case.

  13. Re:What happened? on Lego to Stop Producing Mindstorms · · Score: 1

    They are not from the company "Lego", it is a copy product that has nothing to do with Lego.

  14. Re:Next step on RIAA Takes the Fight to the Streets · · Score: 1

    an RIAA officer?
    Yes because just because you feel like calling yourself for an officer, does not make you one.
    I just remembered "my blue heaven":
    "who made you undercover?"
    I did.
    "it doesn't work that way"

  15. taxes on 4GB HD in Under an Inch · · Score: 1

    I am sure that once, in about 3-5 years, when the dim witted music industry realizes that these drives exist, they will demand a tax pr. megabyte on them like memory cards for cameras, and so they will be extremely expensive.

    If your "security" level in IE are too low it could be installed by itself from an ad, like GAIN.

    I would, but I can't think of anything funny.
    Perhaps... something about being flat as a pancake or giving up smoking was all for not.

  18. Re:Helpful little program on New Worm Spreads Via MSN Messenger · · Score: 1

    I must admit I have not used Outlook for a long time so I do not know if it can be done in later versions. It just bugged me so much that I went into the messenger directory and removed the exe file.

  21. the trunk and insurance on Warning: Exploding Batteries · · Score: 1

    Colson-Inam advises users not to leave a laptop or cell phone in the trunk of a car
    My insurance only covers theft if the objects are stolen from the trunk of my car. So I guess I should always take my notebook with me when I leave the car since I can't place it in the trunk.

  23. Windows Services for UNIX on Microsoft Sends Linux Survey · · Score: 1

    This is why they have Windows Services for UNIX

    Just like the old days with Novell.

    Right now it's for "integrating Windows into existing UNIX-based environments.".
    If all goes "well", I expect it will soon be for helping you migrate/upgrade you UNIX machines to Windows.
