  1. Great ! send out cd's to schools.... on Price-Fixing Settlement Checks in the Mail · · Score: 2, Insightful
    In addition to the cash settlement, the defendants in the suit are also giving 5.6 million CD's to educational programs

    Anyone know what kind of cd's these will be? I don't care for 5.6 million Ludicrus cd's with "Sticking up" or "Freaky Thangs" going to my daughter's school, or yours for that matter...

  3. Re:that sounds right on Apple Now Debt Free, Says Internal Memo · · Score: 1
    according to their last sec filing, they had 300 million in debt and about 5 billion cash.

    That sounds about right, since then I'm sure a few hundred users have paid for battery replacements in thier ipod...

  4. Re:They still don't get it on Microsoft, Monocultures, Security FUD & Other Fun · · Score: 5, Interesting
    >>Microsoft still want us to believe that the only way to integrate is to run One System (theirs) everywhere. They don't get (more precisely: don't want to) common open standards and protocols.

    And not only do they want us to run thier OS, they want to make sure you are integrating thier Office, and collaboration (think .net) programs. To get the full value of Windows. I think I got enough "full value" of windows on my users machine affected by Blaster last fall...

  5. When they are almost out of numbers on Portable Phone Numbers = Market for Cool Numbers · · Score: 1
    and they start having to assign the 555- numbers like are always used in the movies and on TV, that's when I'm getting a few to sell.

    3) PROFIT !!!

  6. How sad it must be... on Sim City Inside The Sims - Russian Doll Effect? · · Score: 5, Funny

  8. Re:Jaron Who? on Intuitive Bug-less Software? · · Score: 2, Funny

    We can finally get Clippy integrated into OpenOffice?

    Heck just go for it and make it part of KDE and Gnome !

  10. Re:There is no Constitutional right to privacy on US Congress Committee Talking About Privacy · · Score: 2, Informative

    >>The right to privacy may be implied in the 9th amendment, but it's a logical extension of the right of property which is protected by the 5th amendment. Unfortunatly if you've paid attention to the news the last few years you have seen how the government takes away much of your property ( or won't let you use it in a certain way- like to build a house, effectively taking it away) for thier own use under the guise "the public good or use" It's one of Neal Boortz's ( www.boortz.com ) hot buttons. >>People act for their self benifit, and when they can to help their friends. Look at Bush and the oil industry or Cheney and Halliburton. Cheney will make millions from them when he leaves the white house. The temptation is too great. That is why we need rules in place to protect those in power from abusing the power we give them. The poster of this info may not rememeber (or may not want to) that Dick Cheney sold all his interest in Haliburton before he was Vice-President to asuage any fears of improprieties in future government contracts. He gave up a lot of future material wealth to serve this country, hate blinds a lot of people to that, maybe people who cannot understand good motives.

  11. Re:SCO Is Legally A Cucumber on SCOoby Snacks · · Score: 1
    SCO UNIX(R) has been a dependable platform for thousands of McDonald's restaurants over the past 10 years and we're looking forward to migrating our restaurants to the current version.

    Step 1: Wait for SCO to implode (should happen soon)

    Step 2: Sell (eeechh) Windows to all McDonalds to replace unmaintainable SCO driven devices.

    Step 3: Jobs for everyone supporting McDonalds terminals. I estimate one person per terminal.

    Step 4: PROFIT!

  12. I hope it's not because on Good Demo System For A High-Bandwidth Link? · · Score: 1

    "My company is planning on demonstrating a 2.5 Gigabit per second link to some potential customers..." I surely hope these "customers" are not the same vacuous sort of ilk who are currently using bandwidth to try to sell me "enlarging cream", or sell me a mortgage ( for my future ex-wife to enjoy later). No, I'm not bitter.

  13. Not in Amerikka on Curse Your Way to Live Support · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia automated attendant curses at you !!! and then tracks you down for re-education in gulag...

  14. This is going to catch criminals? on DARPA Funds Internet Tracking Scheme · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Not trying to be too cynical here, but let's be realistic... I can't count the number of criminals I read about who police caught and had prior warrants for thier arrest, but they have never checked thier last known address. Getting another database of that information will somehow help?
