  1. Re:VM Software on Linux Distros for a Windows Software Developer? · · Score: 0

    You Could Try Bochs. I tried it and it works.

  2. Re:What Else? on Windows Update v5 Gathering Too Much Information? · · Score: 0

    Well, if Microsoft don't do it, they have put the tools in the OS so anyone could do so.

  3. Re:Gentoo on Software for Hardware Demonstrations? · · Score: 0

    only 12 hours? thats a lie. we all know that Gentoo least takes about 24 to GUI

  4. First Book On My List on Books that Changed Your Life? · · Score: 0

    would be "Linux Power Tools". that was what made me more productive in Linux. and only 49.95, thats not bad for as useful as this book is. least thats my opinion.

  5. What Else? on Windows Update v5 Gathering Too Much Information? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Ain't they forgeting a few things. we know that they would collect your machine info, but they are missing something. they forgot to add what they also take. they also take:
    all stored passwords
    all cookies
    all programs installed
    your name
    your email
    your financial information

    that is just a draft of what they forgot to add to the policy.

  6. Re:If it's broke...well....we'll fix it later on Dept. of Homeland Security Says to Stop Using IE · · Score: 0

    Ain't Microsoft still fixing a bug they were suposed to fix about 4 years ago?

  7. Re:Maybe They're Testing the Waters... on MSN's Slate Recommends Firefox over IE · · Score: 0

    they may. they did it before and what is going to stop them from doing it again. They are just going to get the source for Firefox and change the title from "Mozilla Firefox" to "Microsoft Internet Explorer". dont forget the credits. Microsoft will also have those changed too. Here Comes Internet Explorer 7 (just as good as Mozilla Firefox because it is Firefox)

  8. Re:Microsoft money.. on Show Me The Money - Microsoft Money Vs. Quicken · · Score: 1

    ...now with 95% MORE corruption!

    that was the old version. the NEW version outperforms all others in the corruption. even the corrupted old version looks Ok compared to NEW version. Buy it NOW!

  9. Re:Cookies in the psu on What Was Your Worst Computer Accident? · · Score: 1

    maybe it has to do with MS? MS = 4 years and still counting for fixing a hole.

  10. Re:Security on Missing Open Source Security Tools? · · Score: 1

    or least the holes are buried very deep. least the holes are fixed. look at microsoft and the vulnerabilities from 4 years coming to bite them at the cost of the consumer that has to deal with security patches that just disable the problem instead of fixing it. and they call that fixing the problem. heh

  11. Re:Honest on What Was Your Worst Computer Accident? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    hehe. i made the biggest mistake. i bought Win98, Win98SE, WinME, and stupidly enough i also bought WinXP. i must have had a 1/10 of a brain cell working at that moment. A Damm Good thing theres Gentoo Linux. :)
    Linux. No BG. No BS. No Price Tag. No Windows!

  12. Re:obligatory on First Experiences with X.org's X11 Server? · · Score: 1

    Use emerge xorg-x11 and that was it. KDE worked from first shot at it. I used a old XFree86 Configuration File. Emerging KDE was harder then xorg :). Well I Guess that some don't have as good luck as some of us do. I think it is just the aroma in the air causing the confusion. Use an Air Cleaner from Now On.
