  1. Re:Outlook? No way. on Mozilla Lightning to Challenge Outlook · · Score: 1

    If you use more then email then you need outlook, plain and simple. There is no single app that can replace everything that we use outlook for.
    My company does everything with Novell's GroupWise.

  2. Not that odd... on Digital Packrats · · Score: 1

    A survey by Toshiba found that 60% of Brits keep 1000-2000 music files on their portable electronic devices.
    Heck, I've got 1300+ music files just in one PLAYLIST. I've easily got 2000 music files on my Dell DJ. I never know what I'll want to listen to, so I carry most of my collection with me.

  3. Re:Nice... on MPAA Sues Movie-Swappers · · Score: 1

    And no-one ever moves the files from there? Yeah, right.

  4. ARG! on Winamp Down for the Count · · Score: 1

    I LIKE WinAMP... it beats the pants off of MusicMatch's Jukebox and Windows Media Player. I'll have to make sure I burn my 5.0 install to a CD and put it in a safe, secure location.

  5. This is not the webpage you are looking for on Detailed Changes In Star Wars DVD Release w/Pics · · Score: 1

    We are free to pass.

  6. See original first? on Ghost In The Shell 2: Innocence in Theaters · · Score: 1

    Considering the nearest theater showing the film is 4 hours away, this may make or break my getting to it. Do you need to have seen the original movie to understand this one?

  7. Oh well on Infineon To Pay $160 Million For Fixing RAM Prices · · Score: 4, Funny

    Guess we won't be getting our $13.50 checks. :-p

  8. Getting yourselves known on Ask Libertarian Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Here is South Carolina, you cannot depend on the Internet to get your message out. How do you plan to let the general public know about you in places were the Internet is not as possible?

  9. They talked about this at Dragon*Con on Star Wars DVD Set Previews/Reviews · · Score: 1

    It'll be a 4-disc set, with the 4th disc having a 2 1/2 hour making of the trilogy special, as well as other stuff. The making of looks interesting, because it'll have clips of the original casting calls and try-outs.

    LucasFilms also will be released the old cartoons and Ewoks specials on DVD this month.

  10. Simple solutions on Winamp Skin Exploit in the Wild · · Score: 5, Informative

    Don't get your skins from anyone but WinAMP.

    OR

    Don't use skins at all.

  11. Amazing... on Broadband Majority in US · · Score: 1
    Broadband was most prevalent among people ages 18 to 20.
    And why is that? Because they're getting it for free from their college/university. They're certainly not paying for it themselves.

    Sorry, dial-up is still the way of the average citizen. Cost and perceived degree of difficulty of the hardware still keeps many away.

  12. Re:Oh, and one more thing. on Microsoft Lists SP2 Incompatibilities · · Score: 1

    I don't just fix it for them, I make sure they understand exactly what they did wrong, and how never to repeat it.
    I do that several times a day here at the law firm. The same people call me a week or two later with the same exact problems, gotten the same exact ways.

  13. Re:What's the point? on Attracting Women Into Computer Science · · Score: 1

    Sheesh, I need to go check my gene code... I act too male. :-p Thanks.

  14. Re:What's the point? on Attracting Women Into Computer Science · · Score: 1
    Hmm, you seem to have all these worries about people doubting your abilities and yet you chose to go ahead with it anyway. Please explain why you did so if you think this is such a barrier to entry for women.
    I'm not sure about her, but for me it's because I was brought up to fight against people who thought that way. Too many women, however, are told to not stand out, not be different, accept what the lead male says, etc.

    They are differently abled, with men, on average, having greater mental facilities for math and science due to thousands of years of genetic evolution imparted by the roles that men and women have naturally assumed.
    You keep saying this... can you point me to some scientific research that shows this, please?

  15. IBM won't do it yet on Windows XP SP2 In Release · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ComputerWorld magazine says that IBM has told it's employees not to install it, because it hasn't been tested enough.

  16. Re:Security concerns aside on Windows XP SP2 Still Rough Around the Edges · · Score: 1

    Heck, I won't install SP1 on my XP machine. I'm still waiting to hear about all THOSE fixes...

  17. But... but... but... on System Administrator Appreciation Day · · Score: 1

    ...my two sysadmins are complete idiots! What if I don't want to celebrate them?

  18. Re:to determine when you signed up for a PP accoun on PayPal Settles Class Action Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    THANKS! I went looking everywhere and could not find that info. I don't think I qualify (I haven't had enough money in that account to lose anything), but it's good to know.

  19. Actually on I, Robot Hits the Theaters · · Score: 1

    "Bicentennial Man"'s first appearance is in Stellar 2, a collection of Sci-fi shorts. It's one of the better stories in the collection.

  20. Not much on What Magazines Do You Read? · · Score: 1

    I read the local newspaper, and I get the GameStop magazine to keep up with new games. That's it.

    Everything else I get off of the internet.

  21. New poll on CNN.com on Supreme Court Rules Against Anti-Porn Law · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Asks "Should the United States police pornography on the Internet?"

    Um, no? But it's split about 50/50.

  22. Re:MOD ME DOWN on Ghost in the Shell 2 in Theaters Late This Summer · · Score: 1

    Sorry, misread the title and thought this was about the news that another Final Fantasy movie is being released...
    You mean Advent's Children?

  23. Happened here in South Carolina on RIAA Dumps Unsold Inventory to Settle Anti-Trust Case · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The public library system got a bunch of CDs dumped on them, but the district attorney said that they're not allowed to put out the ones by Eminem or other profane artists. So not even adults could borrow them. God forbid we be allowed to decide for ourselves... (and down here in the South, they decide that God does forbid quite a bit of free-thinking)

  24. My main thing on Building a Better Office · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Windows.

    I want to be able to see outside, to see sunlight/weather/moonlight/whatever. No "sun-like lamp" is ever going to replace that.

  25. Attitude problems? on SpaceShipOne Flight Not as Perfect as it Seemed · · Score: 1

    So get someone less cocky to do it next time!
