  1. Ouch! on Jet Engine on a Chip · · Score: 1

    And here I thought it was only money that burns a hole in your pocket. :)

  2. Lesseee... Amateurs On Line using IE - Perfect! on AOL Builds New IE-Based Browser · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What could be better? Someone that doesn't know what they are doing... Using a browser that doesn't know how to protect the user. There is a god; He just doesn't like stupid people :^)

  3. I love Firefox! on The Browser Wars Are Back? · · Score: 1

    It is clean, lightweight, and fast. I've been running it since RC0.9, and recommend it to all of the WIN users. The only problem is that I can't tell whether I am on SuSe or WIN unless I look at my KVM LEDs :^)

  4. Re:Linux? on Inside Wal-Mart IT · · Score: 1

    22,000 MIPS of Z/OS 1.4, plus GOD knows how many custom patches for them... Yes, they have a lot of *IX (A fully racked LAB).

  5. Re:Oh, yeah - they have it together! on Inside Wal-Mart IT · · Score: 1

    So... You're doing the Dog Year exponential thingy? Got to tell ya' kids - Last I heard, ISD has 380+ openings, AND I AM NOT APPLYING!

  6. Oh, yeah - they have it together! on Inside Wal-Mart IT · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've been on contract at Wal-Mart for six months. It just seems like 60 YEARS! The ISD organization is a mess, and it IS a CULTure all its own.

  7. Re:Can't treally blame them... on Report Claims SCO Intends to Charge IBM with Fraud · · Score: 1

    Screw that - "Cogito Ergo ZOOM" "I think, So I drive Fast!"

  8. Well... Ya' know... on Longhorn Will Have Ability to Ban External Storage Devices · · Score: 1

    I remember rolling out PCs in the 80's at a bank. Those damn floppies were going to let workers STEAL all of the mainframe data! And yes, I have always considered a floppie to be an external storage device.

  9. Re:Hmmm on Making Stuff Out Of Broken Computer Equipment? · · Score: 1

    NFW this is worth the cycles to digest it. Hey! Let's do a papier mache CASE MOD!

  10. Nah... I only log in as root:) on When Does Usability Become a Liability? · · Score: 1

    And I don't run backups, cuz' Im a perfessional! I don't care what Billy G. says, computers are never going to be easy to use for the mere mortal... ESPECIALLY the ones that like to "futz" because they think they are power-users. Until we get to the movie world... Where the system says, "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that"

  11. Ya' lmow. a button would work:^) on Real Problems · · Score: 1

    On my web site, I have a button, fomr real, to go get the player... CONCEPT!

  12. Re:Backpedaling faster != going back in time on SCO Changes Tune, Again: Linux Now Just a Riff on Unix · · Score: 2, Informative

    Take a look at the quotes DB on Groklaw:^)

  13. John Dvorak on Is the Key to Linux a Games-Based Distro? · · Score: 1

    This week's article compares Windows and Linux, and he concluded that GAMES are what's keeping Linux from going mainstream...

  14. You could always try... on Cooking with the Internet? · · Score: 1

    Foodtv.com (BAM!)

  15. Ummmm... on Judge Orders SCO, IBM To Produce Disputed Code · · Score: 5, Informative

    The order says SCO has to identify UNIX code in Linux Within 45 days... IBM has 45 days to make AIX/Dynix available to SCO. BIG DIFFERENCE!

  16. The RIAA minset is the real problem... on 20 Year Anniversary of Home Taping Decision · · Score: 2, Interesting

    John Dvorak had a commentary a few years ago that I remember whenever I see this topic: People want choice! That is why there were 45RPMs in the fifties and sixties. Why buy a whole album, when all you wanted was one or two songs. The industry wants $15 for thirteen bad songs, and the one you want - They won't learn:^(

  17. YUP! I Bought RH9 (What a dope!) on End of Life for Red Hat 7.x, 8.0 · · Score: 1

    I got the E-Mail. EOL in April(?)

    I am looking for a new DISTRO... I am ashamed to admit it but I am an XP guy - Suggestions?
