  1. Virginia Tech on STriDER, a Three-Legged Walking Robot · · Score: 1

    There's no such thing as Virginia Tech University... it's Virginia Tech or Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

  2. Hopefully... on The Uncertain Future of OpenOffice.org · · Score: 1

    Hopefully having 35 full time developers at IBM contributing code back to the project will really help this situation. OO.o is great software and I'm quite happy with it

  3. Re:Hidden costs on $99 HD-DVD Player Coming Soon? · · Score: 0, Troll

    That sounds like the comments of a poor person. A 32" LCD TV is $400-$500, an Xbox is $400, and the HDDVD drive is $200... Altogether a little over a thousand dollars for an HD DVD setup. If you don't have a thousand dollars in disposable income in a year, you need to change jobs.

  4. Re:Who cares..? on Firstborn Get the Brains · · Score: 0, Troll

    Sounds like someone has a little resentment... WIPE YOUR TEARS WIMP

  5. MP3 on Apple's Move May Make AAC Music Industry Standard · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What exactly makes this different than .mp3? Other online music stores have had the option to sell unrestricted .mp3 files for plenty of time and still haven't decided to do that. Yes, AAC is arguably better than MP3, but both are quite "iPod compatible".

  6. SURRRREEEE on Gadgets You Backpack Around the World With? · · Score: 1

    I brought my old, trusty iBook on a trip to Japan for 3 weeks (when the iBook was new and fancy). It was super-handy to have, for all the reasons you mentioned. You do need to be aware, and hide it. Be careful what hotels/hostels you stay in. Always be aware of your surroundings.

  7. Re:Its been a while, but... on Active Directory on Win2k or 2k3? · · Score: 1

    just wanted to throw in a resounding Windows 2003. I am a sysadmin at a major univ (guess which one from my name...) and just completed a massive migration of the Student Programs Department to 2003 from 2000. I couldn't be happier. 2003 is responsive and stable... and SECURE, something 2000 leaves a lot to be desired about.
