  1. Re:A possible merge in store, perhaps? on KDE 4 to Support Apple Dashboard Widgets · · Score: 1

    Is that in terms of units sold or how much was spent on them? Notebooks tend to be pricier than dekstops.

  2. Re:Seems like a fair, user-friendly policy on 360 Disc Scratching Serious Problem · · Score: 1

    Indeed. They could probably take the hit themselves and get the replacement themselves for *one* disc from the fees they collect from the user alone, but when they 3 more than that suddenly they have $200+ of scratched product that will take a long long time to collect from that single user in fees...

  3. Re:update antiviruses on New IM Worm Exploiting WMF Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    For the most part the AV software will block the exploit if it's carrying a known viral or trojan payload.

  4. Re:Losing customers on 2005 Good Year for Power Architecture · · Score: 2, Insightful

    just because Apple is selling their stuff at inflated prices, it doesn't mean that they're passing it on to IBM...

  5. Re:rest of the article on Cash Pours in for Student with $1 Million Web Idea · · Score: 1

    You only have to get a bit more specific and then it will be patentable.

  6. Re:er? on Apple Revolutionizing Retail · · Score: 1

    I can't wait till some "poor" looking person gets beat with nightsticks in the Apple store after a new employee fails to find the ID number in the computer and the salesperson who did the sale is on break :) The resulting lawsuit would be classic.

  7. Re:15 minutes? on First Military Exoskeleton Reaches Prototype · · Score: 1

    These things are for hauling stuff around. They aren't intended for combat.

  8. Re:Legalize or illegalize illegalization? on Free P2P In France? · · Score: 1

    SCOTUS could decide that a previously legal activity is covered by an existing law setting precedent that the activity is now illegal (since they can be prosecuted under an existing law).

  9. Re:Crappy business model... on MySQL Beats Commercial Databases in Labs Test · · Score: 1

    "less than 200" and most employees would probably be min wage and no benefits whatsoever.

  10. Re:So, how much did MySQL AB pay for this? on MySQL Beats Commercial Databases in Labs Test · · Score: 1

    They probably should've went with SQL Server Standard instead of Express too.... They probably just went with Express so they could say they tested 2 free and 2 non-free and dismiss SQL Express outright...

  11. Re:morons... on Microsoft Set To Be Fined $2.4M a Day · · Score: 1

    The United States via the treaties it has with the EU. And don't think the EU can ignore that without sending everyone into a depression after the backlash.

  12. Re:ARRGH on MSIE To Adopt Firefox Feed Icon · · Score: 1

    The owners of the particular artwork apparently gave their blessing to MS.

  13. Re:The truly amazing part is that we elected him.. on Bush Backed Spying On Americans · · Score: 1

    The Supreme Court appointed noone. They just told Florida they couldn't waste any more time on recounting since their needed to be an answer immediately (which was perfectly fine). Since Bush was ahead at the time, he was certified as the winner of Florida and thus won the election as a whole.

    http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/florida.ballots /stories/main.html

    Please keep in mind the Supreme Court is ulimately the governing body on what is and is not Constitutional so they had every right to decide on the dispute over the recount.

  14. Re:Actually, 52 in favor on Bush Backed Spying On Americans · · Score: 1

    Thank god for the filibuster or the tyranny of the majority would've steamrolled all of us by now.

  15. Re:Well, that's a big shocker. on Bush Backed Spying On Americans · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Hint: It's in the Bill of Rights. The problem is that often the government will block anyone from taking it to court if they haven't actually been affected. The people who are affected probably don't know it or if they do, are in prison without access to the courts.

  16. Re:Filesystem? on Vista's Graphics To Be Moved Out of the Kernel · · Score: 1

    How the hell does appending extra stuff fix the drive letters?

  17. Re:Tech Novice? What's screwed up about this is on Paramount Sues Ohio Man For $100,000 · · Score: 1

    You're lucky you didn't have any "threatening" looking animals. They have a tendency to start shooting the place up when they see dogs during a search.

  18. Re:Use a hammer and be done with it... on Paramount Sues Ohio Man For $100,000 · · Score: 1

    And then they use whatever other evidence they had against you, charge you with destruction of evidence (whether something was there or not) and then take you to court for the original charge anyway and use the evidence destruction against you. That's if you don't get shot by an officer that comes in while you're holding the hammer...

  19. Re:Tech Novice? on Paramount Sues Ohio Man For $100,000 · · Score: 1

    Because last time I checked Paramount doesn't have a private police force that can seize stuff under court order...

  20. Re:bad news dude... on Google Users more Wealthy, Net Savvy · · Score: 1

    I've never heard of this trojan. Which one is it?

  21. Re:A Suggestion on Tulane University to Reduce Engineering School · · Score: 1

    That doesn't mean 30 hours of total work. That's 30 "credit hours" which means 30 hours of lectures/whatnot PER week over the course of a semester. Ofc, that 30 hours is probabably going to be split over multiple semesters in order to be managable since the "30 hours" doesn't include the massive workload that professors expect to be done or studying or anything. In short "30 hours" in this context probably doesn't mean what you think it does.

    You mean laid off when the product goes into maintenance mode in India?

  23. Re:I'm not sure I get it on Big ID Thefts Not To Be Feared · · Score: 1

    That's nice. What if you do everything humanly possible to protect your personal information and someone gets it through negligent corporation? We're not even talking about credit cards here. We're talking about identity theft. If they manage to steal your identity, they won't need your credit card.

  24. Re:Refund on Marquette Dental Student Suspended For Blogging · · Score: 1

    They are still bound by the laws of the United States and the local government. People are not allowed undue control over another person. If a judge feels that the school is over-controlling and their contract is too broad, he can smack them down for it. I can't imagine a judge would allow the school to control every aspect of a student's life and their ability to communicate with others. That would smack of imprisonment or even slavery!

  25. Re:How did they fix it w/out updating Google Deskt on Google Fixes IE Bug · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The fact that a change to Google's site closes a security risk for their offline software tells me Google's product design must suck donkey nuts.
