  1. Re:Getting lots of OSes running on Boot Linux, BSD, and OS X from Vista · · Score: 1

    I haven't figured out how to make a pretty boot splash page for grub, so I still use lilo to boot my XP/Ubuntu box.

  2. Re:Steps for getting bandwidth on Limiting Bandwidth Hogs on Public Wireless Nets? · · Score: 1

    but if he's already got IP/GW/DNS info, changing DHCP settings won't affect him until he needs to reacquire that info. You'd have to change the DHCP info, remove his dhcp lease and then disconnect him from the network somehow.

  3. Re:Paper is for old people on Deprecating the Datacenter? · · Score: 1

    BURN!

  4. Re:Puppets making prank calls.. on The Daily Show as Substantive as Broadcast News · · Score: 1

    it's a quote from Jon Stewart's appearance on CNN's Crossfire (i think)

  5. WTF is BT? on BT Futurologist On Smart Yogurt and the $7 PC · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Tip the United States on its left, and everything loose lands in California.
    Now THAT's funny!!!
  8. Doesn't work on MySpace Music Player Hacked · · Score: 2, Informative

    I tried it on four or five differnet artists, none worked.

    Maybe MySpace devs fixed the hole

  9. Re:Please define "no oversight" on Senate Committee Votes to Authorize Warrentless Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    Well, then you're retarded or have no sense of what we like to call "words"

  10. Re:I guess... on HP's Dunn Stepping Down · · Score: 1

    That was almost funny but Dunn is a "hers" not a "his"

  11. Re:so, is MS okay to bundle now? on Business 2.0 Says 'Boycott Vista' · · Score: 1

    I'm responding to this on Vista Beta 2. There are a few things I need to get used to, but that was the reason I installed it. I know I'll have to buy new machines for my company and I'll need to know how to get around. Configuration screens are in different places now, so any windows sys admin or it tech will need to get familiar with them.

    It does seem pretty stable (afa windows goes) and I like some of the eye candy. I'll be trying out RC1 in a week or two to see if there is a difference.

  12. Re:A Fine Example... on YouTube Used for Whistleblowing · · Score: 1

    Any time someone feels the need to say they are a "good guy," I think they are lying

  13. Check out this old 60 Min report on Reuters Admits, Pulls Doctored Photos · · Score: 1
  14. Re:Pictures on Humanoid Robot Serves Beer · · Score: 1

    Who determines what a proper pour is?

  15. Postcard From Louisiana on Jack Thompson's Game Bill Moves Forward · · Score: 1

    It is illegal to sell alcohol to a minor (21) in any state, but, in Louisiana, I've sat in bars and had a pint or 4 since age 16. Make it illegal - people will still buy it

  16. Re:Pictures on Humanoid Robot Serves Beer · · Score: 1

    If you look at any guinness ad, you'll see at least an inch of head. Look at the end of this commercial:

  17. Re:Pictures on Humanoid Robot Serves Beer · · Score: 1

    Beer should have a 3/4 to 1 inch head on top, but I usually enjoy more.

  18. Re:I would say IDEs on Should Students Be Taught With or Without an IDE? · · Score: 1

    I agree that programming IS separate from software development. My curriculum taught me 3 semesters of c++ before I saw assembly. I think I would have been better served learning assembly first, then abstracting it to c or c++.

  19. Re:Yay! For the USA! on Americans Not Bothered by NSA Spying · · Score: 1

    You CAN FREELY SPEAK. Just not as privately as you think. BTW - they aren't listening in, just logging what call went where. IMO, that does not take away my right to freely speak

  20. Re:So you don't have to wait to load the link... on Americans Not Bothered by NSA Spying · · Score: 1

    read more carefully, or look up the word "essential"

  21. Re:Yay! For the USA! on Americans Not Bothered by NSA Spying · · Score: 1

    Notice Franklin has an important word in that quote - "essential"

    How essential is the liberty to talk privately over wires you lease, but do not own?

  22. Re:Can you say "System Integrators?" on Dell Cheating on the Direct-Sales Model? · · Score: 1

    You should have called that asshole's manager and told him you wanted a different rep. The Dell reps work on a funny commision system, but it's still based on what they sell.

  23. Re:Can you say "System Integrators?" on Dell Cheating on the Direct-Sales Model? · · Score: 1

    I'm a sysadmin and if you're a company buying direct from Dell, you skip the Level 1 support. I don't like dell's "home" product line, but their "enterprise" line is pretty nice. They keep everything standard, so I've been able to run any linux I've wanted on them.

  24. Re:well duh on Canadian Music Stars Fight Against DRM · · Score: 1
    That's what I thought. You quote an article from a site with a "Progressive Guide".

    From that page :
    The Progressive Guide offers an extensive listing of progressive organizations and businesses, as well as links to other activist organizations and information on the net . . .
    Why can't you find that info from objective sources?
