  1. who posted this? on The End Of Books As We Know Them? · · Score: 1

    michael? hmm that must have been a jon katz article, surely by now he has a patent on the 'end of as we know it, new digital age' article.

  2. Re:Name suggestions: on SSH Claims Trademark Infringement by OpenSSH · · Score: 1

    or nortel

  3. Re:I feel better already! on Privacy Invasion By Any Other Name · · Score: 1

    they should have named it barney and got a big yellow dinosaur as its logo.

  4. Re:Wait... you mean this part isn't true? on Privacy Invasion By Any Other Name · · Score: 1

    the government derives its power from the people in the way you get energy from gasoline. people are just fuel for the rich and powerful and thats how its always going to be. this idealistic ranting that goes on among young people is a waste of energy. just accept that this is the way things are always going to be and the best way to deal with it is use it to your advantage (make money off it).

  5. Re:Can you not give trolls accounts? on Ask the Man Behind the Legend - Cowboy Neal · · Score: 1

    it doesn't change the fact that you're a troll.

  6. poll reversal on Ask the Man Behind the Legend - Cowboy Neal · · Score: 1

    if the question were "CowboyNeal?" what would the answer be?

  7. Re:I hope this is a Good Thing (tm) on Google Acquires Deja · · Score: 1

    why is it that trolls always have two names, like anne marie or dan hayes(or patrick mcrotch)? and just so its on topic geeks have to eat so this isn't bad.

  8. Re:Fabbers on Just Slightly Ahead of Our Time · · Score: 1

    if you could fab hardware like this, manufacturers would do it. you can't, and never will be able to.

  9. call the better business bureau on Why Are Software Rebates Being Rejected? · · Score: 1

    and file a complaint. doesn't cost you anything.

  10. Re:And Motorola on Turbolinux Layoffs · · Score: 1

    in the case of a 'merger' (buyout) the buying company is purchasing the company--union contracts not included. thus a union wouldn't have protected any turbolinux employees, unless it somehow gave them the power to prevent the merger.

  11. Re:Cauality on Spidergoats · · Score: 1

    ive got a friend who started off drinking a lot, went to i think dxm first, than a lot of acid and mushrooms, then coke. never smoked the tiniest bit of pot through all of it.

  12. Re:Bullshit on Spidergoats · · Score: 1

    of course there's also no evidence that shows marijuana is a gateway drug

  13. Re:I feel ill on Spidergoats · · Score: 1

    legal abortions can help people. heroin doesn't hurt people that much more than cigarettes and booze do, statistically. if heroin was illegal but opium was legal it would hurt much less people.

  14. Re:netscape! on W3C On How To Fix Browsers · · Score: 1

    depends on how you define non techies. my dad works on the business side of a company that does supply chain software and might bother checking. my mom, probably more of a typical user, wouldn't know what to do. hell she doesnt even use ie in the typical sense, she uses the '@home browser' thing.

  15. Re:netscape! on W3C On How To Fix Browsers · · Score: 1

    joe sixpack would never know that it works in one browser and not in another. he wouldn't check.

  16. Re:In order for it to be slander, it has to be fal on Can Companies Control What You Say After You Leave? · · Score: 1

    this is the naive thinking that gets us shit like like the dmca. just because it *used* to be that way, doesn't mean in the 'new digital age' that the claims have to be false. it all comes down to who has the most money and influence.

  17. Re:ZIPs nearly made it? on Forget SuperDisks -- Try 32MB On A Floppy · · Score: 1

    i agree. on my campus 1/4 of the zip drives were bad, and disks routinely failed. they are incredibly unreliable.

  18. Re:More on 'Le Reg' on X-Box Name Dispute In The Works · · Score: 1

    they are a software company. microsoft could potentially expand into their market (it's not a stretch at all)

  19. Re:Why the shot at religion? on Technology And The XFL · · Score: 1

    i dont get it (have they fear?). is this supposed to be funny. sorry its been a bad day. and i dont have any xanax.

  20. Re:To prosecute or not to prosecute on Canadians Hang Bug Off Golden Gate · · Score: 1

    the better question is why the hell did it take 4 damn hours for them to decide to cut it down? i could have made that decision in 20 minutes.

    i dont know where you live but those were pretty damn hot for ex strippers

  22. Re:Why the shot at religion? on Technology And The XFL · · Score: 1

    personally i think its kind of funny that they actually believe in god. since he doesn't exist.

  23. Re:A Better Reason . . . on Are Computers Stealing Your Memory? · · Score: 1

    theres no evidence that reefer causes loss of long term memory. short term yes. and also this article is stupid. this is a causal fallcy. people who who use pdas are more likely to have bad memories. people with good memories don't need them.

    how are you going to pop up that link? using your browser? thats exploitable.

  25. Re:Interesting on Can You Suggest Any Non-Zero Sum Games? · · Score: 1

    never hear of the mongols? also the ottoman empire. both were larger than rome sizewise. at the time, most of europe was considered too primitive to bother with. the rest of it was conquered
