    please! its called a PAC political action C-mthing or other and its legal in the US to accept bribes that get washed through these PACs.

  3. Re:Why is the box smarter than me? on New Parental Controls Limit Xbox Time · · Score: 0

    when i first read the headlines. first thign that came to my mind was that some body was going to post something exactly like this. "its my right, i should do what i want with it!"

    and i say this:
    1. u dint buy it, even if u did buy it
    2. parents know best
    3. now go to your room!

  4. real life intrudes on MIT Offers City Car for the Masses · · Score: 0

    while the concept is extremely interesting and very laudable i cant help but feel that real life was not taken into account here.
    wont stacking the cars scratch the paint?
    wont stacking the cars mean the car in the middle cant move until the cars in front or behind that car has moved out of its parking spot?

    plus, where's the bumper? that car wont last a day in cairo traffic

  5. Re:Overpriced on Dell Buys IPO-Bound EqualLogic for $1.4 Billion · · Score: 0

    you are half right. san is required for blade servers. but dell? hell!

    dell's blade servers are like 2 years behind the rest. they have had only one generation unlike hp or ibm who are not on their third or 4th generation.

    their blade design is not fully redundant and bigger than the competition while using up more energy. i have no idea why anybody would consider dell blade systems!

    so unless dell is thinking of selling the san storage independent of thier blade systems, it isnt going to move much

  6. Re:nope, doesn't hurt RH on Is CentOS Hurting Red Hat? · · Score: 0

    good points but you forgot one though:
    if a company wants an SLA that basically means they have production critical need for support. which also means they have to be within the support matrix ergo. they need redhat.
    for example. to stay within the oracle support matrix, you need a certified linux distro like redhat AND certified hardware.
    so their want is actually a need for redhat

  12. hmmmm on Microsoft Offers IE7 to All, Pirates Included · · Score: 1

    hmmm .. if i remember correctly, last month, windows update had a secret forced update to our local windows update.exe. perhaps microsoft is now bundling this secret update into ie7 so as to get it installed on to those boxes it missed?

    anybody got an old version of ie7 to compare with the current version?

  13. useless map on A New Map of the Internet · · Score: 5, Interesting

    in my opinion, this map is useless UNLESS it is overlaying a map of the world. i for one, cannot find the capital city, cairo, of my country, egypt in these maps, only vaguely, but then again, it could also be tel aviv

  15. Re:"Here's your problem" on Science In Islamic Countries · · Score: 0

    i m sorry how was that insightful?

    was there any facts in it? all i can see is some ignorant person insult my religion. someone with hatred in his heart trying to alter facts. furthermore, he obviously has a bias against any culture that is not his own.

    did he visit a muslim country? did he sit down with a muslim imam (available at your nearest mosque!) to ask about islam before condemning the religion?

    to paraphrase the quran: i have my religion you have yours

    and then you wont see a muslim insult the prophet jesus. why do u do that to prophet muhammed? and why do u insult the prophet abraham? i pity you with the heart of stone, o blind one

    i am a muslim and islam means peace. the only reasons for war in islam is defence of religion, state, self and other muslims. all other reasons are not reasons for violence.

    aix is an amazing Operating System. i m more familiar with linux but i have used aix and its admin tool smit or smiTTY does just about everything you want to do the OS. linux is way behind in that department.
