  1. Mandrake 10 CE on Mandrakelinux 10 Official Released · · Score: 1

    just mostly froze up on me, I liked the way it was setup looks wise but don't enjoy it not working. I installed Fedora and not a single problem.

  2. Sounds like a bad idea on Paid To Spam · · Score: 5, Funny

    and plus I'm still waiting for my check from All-Advantage!

  3. My question is on Five Fundamental Problems with Open Source? · · Score: 1

    the software is free, how can you complain? Pay for it if you want X feature.

  4. beep! on RFID for Automobile Tracking · · Score: 2, Funny

    warning a driver that his vehicle is going too fast to safely negotiate an upcoming curve

    I hope it doesn't beep, that could get annoying real fast. :)

  5. My first time on THG Linux Migration, Part Two · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I just recentally installed Fedora with out a problem. Every thing works great except my 3d card. I have installed WineX and am able to install games but they run slow due to the fact my card doesn't seem to be supported. I have had a good linux experience so far and hope to never have to use Windows again. I wish this guide would have been around before I got started to answer some of my questions. Escpecially on installing applications.

  6. No on Are You Reporting Your Internet Purchases? · · Score: 1

    No

  7. Adware/Spyware makes me mad on The Pure Software Act of 2006 · · Score: 1

    I hate this stuff, I'm glad I switched to Linux. I've had to completely wipe out pc's at work because of adware/spyware. Some program called "Hotbar" is the worst.

  8. Driving fast != more danger on Stoplights to Mete Out Punishment? · · Score: 1

    Higher speed limits haven't increased deaths because speeds have not increased significantly on the highways. People were already driving well over the posted limits even when we had 55 mph limits. The 55 mph speed limit law was probably the most disobeyed law in American history.

  9. So what on Cisco Products Have Backdoors · · Score: 1

    my apartment has a front door and that doesn't suprise me, but seriously...
    I can't say that I'm shocked by this I'm sure they just wanted an easy way to help users with their hardware if the really screwed it up but it looks like Cisco has screwed up.

  10. Linux in Canada, eh? on Linux in Canada · · Score: 1

    Well I say Linux in every where! I just installed Fedora, with out a hitch, and am excited to see how easy it has become (I tried once and failed greatly in '95 or so). Viruses? Well of course, but I can't imagine any thing like Windows OS has experienced. Before downloading the ISOs I installed W2k and less than 10 mins had a virus that was rebooting my pc. (blaster!) Right now the only "virus" I'm afraid of is when I am root.

  11. Re:Price Drop? on Sony Hints on PS3, PSP, and PS2 Plans · · Score: 1, Troll

    Frys is having a sale on XBOXs for 89.00 (refurbished). LIMITED QUANITY!!!

  12. Beh on Sony Hints on PS3, PSP, and PS2 Plans · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Game consoles are supposed to be simple, turn on - insert disc - play game. Sounds like you might as well just buy a computer.

  13. Setup Cost on Court Ruling Points Way To Broadband Regulation · · Score: 1

    I just want to know when they are going to stop forcing customers to pay 50 bucks to come install it on your pc and when they are too dumb to understand your OS (when w2k was new, I can't imagine the look on their face if your running Linux) and don't know how to renew an IP address and still charge you, man that pissed me off.

  15. Cow Doodo on Omniscience Protocol · · Score: 1

    Something smells and for once its not me. Here are some articles by the person that is supposed to have written this.

  16. Gotcha! on Google's Gmail To Offer 1GB E-mail Storage? · · Score: 1
  17. Re:Move to Mississippi! on Study Says Massachusetts Best State For Technology · · Score: 2, Informative

    "if I move to Jackson, Little Rock, or Bowling Green, that my skills will be in higher demand?"

    I just left Little Rock, AR. There are very few tech jobs in Arkansas. Most of them would be in North West AR around Fayetville. I tried for 3 months to find a job. I moved to TX and a week later had a job.

  18. Well Arkansas on Study Says Massachusetts Best State For Technology · · Score: 1

    is where I used to live, it is probably the worst state, and moved to Dallas. Every other business here has "tech" or "net" or such in its name. Plano is covered with Tech companies including Microsoft, Intel, IBM. I don't see how TX could be 26th.

  19. Thats great on Third Space Tourist is Set · · Score: 3, Funny

    but where is my flying car!

  20. But where is the study on Study: MP3 Sharing Not Serious Threat To CD Sales · · Score: 2, Funny

  21. Not everyone will notice on Major UK Comms Backbone Bunker Burned Out · · Score: 5, Funny

    "while AOL said its customers in the area, who are connected to the BT network, would also experience problems."
    ...and they were so close to figuring out how to use internet...

  22. My thumb thanks you on Congress To Force Cable a la Carte Plans · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I've been wanting this for so long. I hate paying for things I don't need.

    "Besides adding to the cost, cable companies say, selling channels individually might make it difficult for lesser-watched, niche channels to survive."

    This is bad how?

  23. Simple on Six Barriers to Open Source Adoption · · Score: 2, Insightful

    *drum roll please*
    And the number one reason to Open Source use by the masses.....*ba da ching!* Users! If a user has trouble hitting "Ctrl-Alt-Del" to log in its gonna be a while untill they will be handed a new operating system.

    Disclaimer: I didn't read the full article.

  24. Don't lose it on Mobile Wifi Backpack · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "...a small backpack containing an adapted 802.11b access point, RF amplifier, custom power supply and a PowerBook G4..."
    It seems kind of risky to carry all of that in a backpack. Not only if you drop it, water spill, but for some one to steal.

  25. Gambling, shmambaling on WTO Wants USA to Gamble Online · · Score: 0

    I've never gambled and I don't see the appeal of online gambling. If I'm gonnna throw my money away I at least expect some "free" liqour.
