    "De Tocqueville Institute president Ken Brown and chairman Gregory Fossedal refused to comment on whether Microsoft sponsored the report."

    "GE Medical Systems will demonstrate a prototype medical technology designed to give surgeons access to patients' data while operating, without having to touch a computer or other object that would require them to re- sterilize their hands. The technology, being developed with Microsoft..." I don't think my insurance covers BSOD.

  4. Smart Road on Road Marker Marks You · · Score: 1, Informative

    This all ties into the "Smart Road" which has been in development at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA for several years. Including monitoring of road and weather conditions along with sending advisories to drivers.

    install a 120gig drive and a 1.4 processor total cost is still under $300

  10. For the $149 Price... on Modded XBox The Ultimate Multimedia PC? · · Score: 0

    It's the most powerful "new" pc that you can get for the money. With using EvolutionX and a few more tweeks, you get a great entertainment system. especially when you have some er..backup copies of games.

    Makes sense for the Modding community. They always push the limits for effects.

  16. Bible Game on On Religious Violence And Videogame Violence · · Score: -1, Redundant

    If they turned the bible into a 1st person adventure, I would be willing to bet it has a Mature rating (due to excessive violence, vice, etc).

  18. ease of Install on THG On Migrating To Linux · · Score: 0

    For the new user the best distro that I have found is XandrOs 2.0. This is a debian based. Although a lot of hardcore linux users may not like it. It's probably the best to convert users to linux.

  19. Not the brightest pres on The Wrong Stuff · · Score: 0

    This coming from a man who thinks you have to write a letter and stick it to the monitor to send an email. For that matter if we find life outside of our own universe, it'll give us someone new to start a war with.....

  20. Re:The Microsoft Damage. on New Documents Shed Light on Microsoft's Tactics · · Score: 1

    Thank our lucky stars that we live in a world where we do have a choice in OSes. I still firmly believe that the greastest innovations will come out of someone's garage or room. Where they have gotten an idea and ran with it. Regardless of which OS you run, At the end of the day it's still all about choice.

  21. Re:the old cliche on From School to Work to Working at School? · · Score: 1

    If you would have actually read the entire post then you would have realized that I support a position in higher education. But the cliche is just that a cliche, just because it's stated it does not necessarily mean that it is true. Next time try to read the entire post before assuming anything.

  22. another thing on EU Fines Microsoft $613 Million, Officially · · Score: 1

    so if I payed for a license I should be entitled to the souce code right? That's exactly what Microsoft did with the SCO so the could use the source code for SCO's version of UNIX. But I guess you believe that the whole "license" should only apply for code that M$ want's.

  23. Re:It's About Time. on EU Fines Microsoft $613 Million, Officially · · Score: 1

    They have taken linux code(Now they call it Longhorn) I guess you work for M$, Maybe you should read the Windows history and see how they started to begin with (xerox-> Apple-> M$), If you have done any reasearch on the matter you would see that Longhorn contains many of the feature of Linux (FileSystem, desktop manager, etc) the only reason it hasn't been released yet is that they are trying to find a way to upgrade a windows xp box to their version of Linux.

  24. the old cliche on From School to Work to Working at School? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I hate to say the old term but: "Those who can do, those who can't teach.." With that said the some of the best IT people are out of work and the is some great talent walking around with no where to go. I personally would choose the Academic world over the Professional world for the following reasons: 1. Tenure. 2. People in your department actually know what your talking about. 3. Not having to tell the VP of Accounting why you need a new system and him telling you to spend only $40 bucks. 4. super-computer (ex. Virginia Tech) 5. Development of new "toys" (Defense Contracts) So over all My choice would be higher education.

  25. It's About Time. on EU Fines Microsoft $613 Million, Officially · · Score: 1

    We all know how much foward thinking is in the EU. Now lets see how long it takes before we can get our hands on the source code. Although it will probably be released much like the FBI documents (with half of the important and interesting stuff blacked out).
