    Passport is dead!

  2. Re:What next? on CA Court Strikes Blow Against Hidden EULAs · · Score: 1
    Bad assumption that you are the customer.

    YOU are the USER. The USER always gets the bum deal. The CUSTOMER is the OEM who bought the installer kit, or the reseller who bought the case-lots of Win-Whatever.

    You, the USER are already down that slippery slope, because only the First one is free.

  9. Beowulf cluser of playback devices? on Big Bang of Convergence · · Score: 3, Insightful
    It seems to me this "convergence" thing is about making every *smart* piece of equipment a playback machine for some *drm controlled* content.

    a hole in the "people write virii for it because it's the biggest target" argument for the proliferation of Windows virii?

  12. from the "WTF?!?" department on Tongue-Controlled Gameboy Advance SP Launched · · Score: 1

    'nuff said.

  13. I misread the header... on Alan Turing, the Inventor of Software · · Score: 1
    and had to do a double take. Alan Turing; most certainly one of a handful for which "inventor of software" could be applied.

    Darl McBride, on the other hand...

  14. Re:Time to get to the Library? on Putting Google to the Test · · Score: 1

    Matter over IP: doesn't it have the Packet over Air problem?

  15. Technological Advances on Estonia Embraces Wi-Fi Wireless Internet Access · · Score: 0, Troll
    I didn't think Elbonia's technology base was that advanced. What happened in the last 7 years?

    Nevermind...

    Why play softball. Call their friends at AOL TopSpeed and sic Paul (Sr.) Teutul after them.

  20. Re:In a warehouse on Researchers To Climb Ararat To Seek Noah's Ark · · Score: 1

    Nope. That's the Ark of the Covenant. Saw the documentary. Harrison Ford was great.

  21. Didn't Torvalds solve this problem? on The Myth Of The 100-Year CD-Rom · · Score: 1

    Real men don't make backups. Real men post to the internet and let the world mirror ir. Or something like that.

  22. Re:Can't see the Darl from the cheese on BayStar Interviewed Regarding SCO Investment · · Score: 1

    >>Remember, unless it is an outright lie there's really no quantitative measure for "misleading". Once you are in the grey area between factual truth and bald lie, it's all subjective Your spokesman makes or breaks your credibility with his language and delivery. DMB has been carrying on like Vince McMahon. Or Ballmer. Or both. Still, the Baystar request to change top level management seems like a slapdown many here have been waiting for...

  23. No Confidence. on BayStar Interviewed Regarding SCO Investment · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Regardless of the language, to me it looks like a no-confidence vote.
