  1. Re:This is not news. on Dell Sells Open Source Computers · · Score: 1

    386 Enhanced mode, not the chip. You know? I've never tried it on a Pentium yet(the floppies got all moldy before I copied them), but I bet it will boot pretty fast if it does work. Did you find "Snowball"? I'll give you the answer tomorrow if you haven't by then :-Q~

    I'll give a you a hint. It only runs in 386 Enhanced mode.

    An acquaintance just bought a Compaq loaded with freeDOS. Looks like a trend is developing. I'm going to install "Snowball"(look it up). I just have to divide the drive into 40 partitions.

    ...but I'd be willing to bet that the majority of people here get as much sex as any other married person.

    Be careful. You're getting awfully close to making his point.

  5. Re:Why haven't these fascist assholes been impeach on US Attorney General Questions Habeas Corpus · · Score: 1

    Or is it just that gun nuts are too poor these days to afford bus fare?

    Ammo ain't too cheap neither.

  6. Re:old-Right to bare arms. on US Attorney General Questions Habeas Corpus · · Score: 1

    Heh. That mechanized army would wipe them out in a "New York second" if there wasn't a million cameras watching over them. The second amendment or any other rights to carry small arms don't face up too well in front of the nuclear option. And the economics of modern warfare indicate that there is no end in sight. I thought that petroleum would provide a better cash flow than the arms trade, but I could be wrong. Does the US spend $2 billion a week for gasoline?

    Well, it's not. And move out of the way, I'm trying to see the TV.

  9. Re:Fantastic! Until... on The Replacement For the Battery? · · Score: 1

    If the battery works the way they claim it does for as cheap, etc., then they stand to make much more money letting the company flourish then selling it to Shell.

    And Shell will make an offer they can't refuse. "Either their signature or their brains will be on the contract."

  10. Piracy on One In Five Windows Installs Is Non-Genuine · · Score: 2, Interesting

    put 50 billion dollars into the man's pockets. What exactly is his complaint again? Piracy has also insured that Apple only gets 5 percent of the market. Why? Because it's rather difficult to bootleg the giant "Macintosh" dongle that apple attached to its software. Draw your own conclusions about the subject of piracy. For me, the numbers speak for themselves, quite loudly. Just adding to the chorus of voices in my head.

  11. Re:This won't kill DRM on Blu-ray Protection Bypassed · · Score: 3, Funny

    But from what I understand you don't have to for an update - the movies themselves now include them I think.

    Updates? Is that the new name for rootkits now?

    Now, or you'll die waiting for the "perfect" system. You don't have to do it all at once. Start with some small panels to just run the pump for now.

  14. Re:Ba-Ba-Babbster on FCC Nixes Satellite Radio Merger · · Score: 1

    Around 40-45min/hour. It's still the standard throughout most broadcasting. He just played all of his spots in one big block every hour.

    He was really hamstrung by terrestrial broadcast rules. For me, it was like hearing someone saying "damn" for the first time on the TV. Of course it going to sound tame(lame?) now, but at the time the stuff he pulled still gets other DJs fired. His show is very serialized. You almost need to listen to them in sequence. I never could stand the "best of..." shows on Friday...or was it Monday? Yeah, I think it was Monday...definitely Monday.

  15. Ba-Ba-Babbster on FCC Nixes Satellite Radio Merger · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but he seemed to have a real high ground while he was married. Howard Stern the "Family Man" was the best thing he had to shoot down the critics.It made his edginess a bit more pointed(huh?) Now he's just another funny guy. Albeit a good one still.

    So the companies can't merge. The recievers can. So let's have one that pick up both signals. They did it with AM stereo. And they're doing it with our fancy new disk players. Am I being redundant here?

    No coke parties?! We need DRM to prevent the collapse of the "controlled substances" industry. The whole economy will fall apart without it.

  22. Re:You must be a terrorist! on The Failing Right of Laptop Privacy · · Score: 1

    I doubt smoking in a building could be considered "acts dangerous to human life". Although the smoking nazi camp would like your to believe it.

    OMG! That's so funny. I completely forgot that you people have virtually banned the use of tobacco. No, the smoke-ins of the sixties were a somewhat different matter.

    In order to belive it was all about oil...

    It's not about oil. It's about the lust for power.

    I see no reason to believe the government, if they did lie in the past, wouldn't have learned thier lesson by now. emphasis mine

    IF?! Please! There simply is no incentive to learn anything other than doing a better job of covering their tracks. Hence, all the new secrecy. Nobody's being punished, except for the bit players. The voters provided a brief interlude after Nixon, but then threw it all away with Reagan, leading us to the present spate of lies and deceit.

    And they gain support when we only look at the limited history of after WW2 compared to the history of the area 100 years before.

    They gain more support as it becomes more obvious that Israel is an aparthied state.

    There is absolutely no moral basis for our actions in the Middle East. And there wasn't any in Vietnam.. Like all wars, these are colonial wars, replacing one empire with another. And if it wasn't for all the cameras, we'd be wiping them out like the Mongols would. You can bet on that. It's high seas piracy in the desert.

  23. Re:That's Hot on British Cops Hack Into Government Computers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Heh, no joke. Our local papers have stories about cops from two different jurisdictions getting into actual gun battles occasionally. I also get a kick out of watching the elephants battle it out. Too bad we never learn anything from it.
