    What if something comes up in the mean time?

    If something comes up in the mean time then that story will most likely be /.ed too.

  2. Re:The real question is.... on Gentoo Officially Not-For-Profit · · Score: 1, Funny

    Your Answer:

    The process of becoming a Federally-recognized not-for-profit entity, which will take about six months for approval, can now begin

  4. training on Infected Windows PCs Now Source Of 80% Of Spam · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Schools need to start teaching security. Just the idea and what you do. Kids will go home and teach thier parents. And slowly more people will become educated. How else can you educate the masses?

  5. An Idea on Infected Windows PCs Now Source Of 80% Of Spam · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Here's an idea to help block spam from these. Don't accept any mail from a block of IPs for residential use. Like all of comcasts home subscribers. Same for ameritech, Road Runner and all those other residential networks. They are under a license agreement to not run a mail server anyway.

    I admitt it would be an inconvienamce because I run a mail server like that but it might be worth the pain for less spam.

    Building something like this could be a really cool high school science project.

  7. Re:Should be a time limitation! on Blackberry In Court Again Over Patents · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why is this kind of delayed lawsuits even permitted?

    It's simple. They are allowed because they make lawyers and the court system a lot of money.

  8. blue tooth on Apple Rolls Out AirPort Express, AirTunes · · Score: 1

    If you have blue tooth on your pc and a blue tooth phone or other device you can control the songs via remote.

  9. Re:ipod on Apple Music Store Coming to Europe & iTunes in China · · Score: 1

    With the increase in living style in China it wouldn't suprise me soon. There are many cell phones and computers poping up all over the place. Why not ipods? Maybe not this year but in the next couple I could see them selling decently. If a half percent of the population buys then then that's more than 5 million of them sold.

  10. like porn on Webmasters Pounce On Wiki Sandboxes · · Score: 4, Interesting

    These seems similar to the system all those porn systems used to get such a high rank in google.

    Kind playing the system with the content not being quite as desirable.

  11. Re:World’s Best Digital Music Experience on Apple Music Store Coming to Europe & iTunes in China · · Score: 1

    Why does Apple insist on calling iTunes/Pod the "World's Best Digital Music Experience"?

    It's called marketing. They are using "buzz" words to attract the attention of more people. the jist is that more people intrested drives up sales, then they make more money.

  12. ipod on Apple Music Store Coming to Europe & iTunes in China · · Score: 4, Insightful

    iTunes store may not be accessible but there are over 1 billion people there and iTunes syncs with the ipod so imagine how many ipods they could sell there.

  13. Re:double standards? on Apple Music Store Coming to Europe & iTunes in China · · Score: 4, Interesting

    not quite. Are they running OS X with iTunes? Nope, it'll be a M$ based system with iTunes as a 3rd party software. That is the difference.

  14. women on Digital Photography Composition 101 · · Score: 1

    as they were talking the rules of thirds i realized that a womans breasts are about 1/3 the way down from the top. that's why we guys are always looking and attracted to them so much. it's not our fault. it's just nature

  15. Re:bandwidth vs quality? on Mercora - New Radio P2P Network · · Score: 1

    It would suck your upstream bandwith. You'd have to have a super fast conection to really stream just like any other streaming service.

  16. Re:In other words... on Mercora - New Radio P2P Network · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Let your friends stream all their sound to you, rip it from the source, tear it apart and create a legal song archive. No, no profit here ;)

    If they are my friend why not give them a special ftp account or web access to do so. Or why not burn them to cd or dvd and give them that. Seems to much easier and they get the songs they want

  17. and the winner is.... on Microsoft's EU Appeal is Ready · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The lawyers who manipulate this system of constant appeals.

  19. Re:one small problem with to many free wifi access on NYT: Making Free Wireless Wi-Fi Internet Pay · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Then look at it from a security standpoint. Because it's your home and church you need to have the security because of liability. What if someone searches for kiddie porn, or shares music and the RIAA comes after you or a million other things.

    If the US at least if its yours then you are liable. That's why those places that offer it free have an agreement first.

  20. Re:Start your day... on Mozilla, Opera Form Group to Develop Web App Specs · · Score: 2, Informative

    The one noted difference between the previous post about this and this one is that before it was being taken to W3C and now it is being done outside W3C.

    Looks like W3C rejected this.

  21. So, if on Linux Today Founder Calls for Boycott of Linux Today · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So, if /. has these adds too (which they do) should we boycott /. too? As I am typing this I am reading a M$ ad on the submit page.

    But what about those who are just venturing into the Linux world and are just getting thier feet wet. There are a lot of those and they don't understand it all yet.

  23. updating on Windows Users Fear Korgo Virus · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Since only legal users of XP can install the updates, does this mean that all those people using illegal copies can't get the update?

    Figuring so, a lot of people could get screwed.
