  1. why do you think they call it programming.... on National TV Turn Off Week · · Score: 1

    if you watch a tv news program (most of whichis junk anyways) you dont have time to think about what you've seen and the opinions you have heard, so often one will accept it, when you read something in the newspaper or in a book you can stop and think about it, and formulate your own opinion in the matter.

  2. Re:Nice, but I feel like it's hopeless... on National TV Turn Off Week · · Score: 1

    i'm the same way, for me tv mainly consists of idiots being obnoxious and professing their stupidity and commercials that make me question the future of the human race, kind of like slashdot. i'd take broadband over tv anyday

  3. Re:The report and it's value on Linux Distributions Respond to Forrester · · Score: 1

    There is no chroot() in Windows, to the best of my knowledge
    one can change the enviornment variables in windows, not recomended but can easily be accomplished. For windows xp, go to system properties > advanced > enviornment variables. then you can change among others, the tmp and windows directories.

  4. Re:wow on Pioneer Electron Beam DVD · · Score: 1

    yes but asuming this is released in ten or so years, hard drives will be considerably larger than they are now meaning that ghosting a drive to a single one of these babies probably wouldnt be possible.

  5. Big Brother is Watching You on HP Experiments with 'Always On' Camera · · Score: 1

    big brother is watching you. remember, if you see anyone who even remotly looks like they could dare oppose the party, immediatly report them to your district thought police manager.

  6. apple's april fools joke on PC Case For Hamsters, EZ Bake Oven in a Drive Bay · · Score: 1

    its right on the front page of their website, claiming the g5 is the fastest prossesor.

  7. woah on Google's Gmail To Offer 1GB E-mail Storage? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    well im all for peace love and happiness, but i serisouly have no clue how that could remain profitable, unless of course that 1 gig is space on your own hard drive

  8. aol needs to teach their users! on Dealing with False AOL Spam Reports? · · Score: 1

    if aol were to give a short explination as to what spam really is, unsolicited mail, then maybe the accidental spam reporting rate would drop, a confermation from an online purchase is not spam, and if clarrified would help greatly.

  9. Re:To me... on The Worldwide Domain Battle · · Score: 1

    yes but what about whitehouse.com ?

  10. Spyware Blaster on Protecting Our Parents' PCs? · · Score: 1

    This thing can be an ie users best friend, Spyware Blaster it blocks malicious active X scripts while allowing good ones through, which makes it less frusterating than just turning off active x all together (just remember to update often!). If anything does get through its nothing that a good spybot scan wont get rid of, just teach em to update and scan monthly and theyll be cool but not fools.

  11. Re:It looks really nice... on Unreal Tournament 2004 Goes Gold · · Score: 3, Informative

    Could be that you set your direct36 settings to max preformance, or set your textures too low, happened on me mates box, try nudging up the texture quality a bit and compensate with lower values on other settings, that should help some. Good luck!

  12. Re:Shameless... on MSN Search Blocking Results For XFree86? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Or maybe its just a bug, given the average quality of microsoft products, would it really be that surprising?
