  1. Re:Versioning is a joke on Java 1.5.0 Now Officially Java 5.0 · · Score: 1, Insightful

    As long as you can differentiate between different versions I don't see what the problem is. It's not like they went backwards or anything.

  2. Re:Almost... on They Might Be Giants Open Their Own Music Store · · Score: 1

    Yeah. They should do that with CDs too, say, if I 'lose' one I should be able to get another one for free. Them sending you the song costs money (see: bandwith) I see no reason for them to have to cover for your losing the mp3.

  3. Re:Yes, its ILLEGAL on Moore Approves Fahrenheit 9/11 Downloads · · Score: 1

    Well, if you really like it the first time I wouldn't see it again. It might leave you with a bitter taste. MM's movies are made for first viewing, the logic doesn't stand up a second time through. I did, however, enjoy it so I'm not just being negative here.

  4. Re:Great gamer machine. No latency! on FourHead: One PC, Four Users · · Score: 1

    How would you connect to eachother though? Would it be a LAN game? Cause you're not connected over a 'network' per se. Or is there some local game setting where it finds people on the same processor? It sounds like it'd be a lot of fun, but I'm just skeptical.

  5. Re:Is this the same China... on China Will Monitor, Censor SMS Messages · · Score: 1

    I think there is more than just spam in those boats!

  6. Re:Get the fix early here. on IE Download.Ject Exploit Fixed · · Score: 1

    That's awesome. However, it didn't have the one password I was really interested in. I am confused.

  7. A Night In Paris (The Sequel) on New Radar Sees Through Walls · · Score: 1

    Coming soon! I think one good turn deserves another. This technology is perfect for something like that.

  8. Re:Get the fix early here. on IE Download.Ject Exploit Fixed · · Score: 1

    I definitely agree with you. I switched a few weeks back and I really have no reason to go back to IE. Except for a few passwords I have stored in IE that I have no idea what they are... grrr!

  9. Re:There are other ways of getting the money... on WA Bans Gift-Card Expirations, Fees · · Score: 1

    I recently received one of these Simon Gift Cards. I must say, I am very pleased. It works just like any credit card and you can look at the balance/where you spent your money online. I haven't noticed the inactivity fee, but let's hope I don't.

  10. Re:Server already melting on 2004 U.S. Puzzle Championship Winners · · Score: 1

    Thanks a lot. Even though I feel a lot dumber now having looked at those puzzles.

  11. Re:Patience, My Pet... on Fahrenheit 9/11 Discussion · · Score: 1

    You must be new here.

  12. Re:Define truth. on Fahrenheit 9/11 Discussion · · Score: 1

    I think some philosophers have been trying to answer the question "What is truth?" for a couple thousand years. I don't think any response you're going to get will be complete.

  13. Re:SBC on Hotmail, Others Follow Gmail's Storage Boost · · Score: 1

    I have an @sbcglobal.net and they only said about the 200mb. Hmmm.

  14. SBC on Hotmail, Others Follow Gmail's Storage Boost · · Score: 2, Informative

    Even the DSL provider SBC is going to boost their storage to 100mb for mail accounts. I'd still rather have a gmail invite though.

  15. Re:One word: Ether... on Organizing Home Network Cables? · · Score: 1

    If you have a 7000 sq foot house I think you can just afford to have someone install all of this for you!

  16. Re:Cheaters on Become a Professional Gamer · · Score: 1

    Most professional gamers play in servers where the people in them would not suspect them of cheating. I guess it'd be worthwhile for them to play in public once in awhile, but not really.

  17. Re:Microsoft linux offerings on Bob Muglia on Longhorn Server, Linux and Blackcomb · · Score: 1

    I agree with you, somewhat, that this would be a great thing. With the manpower that Microsoft could dedicate to something like this, there are some great possibilities.

  18. Re:Microsoft linux offerings on Bob Muglia on Longhorn Server, Linux and Blackcomb · · Score: 1

    One question I have, since I am not very familiar with the licensing. Can they use the kernel, package it up in a distribution and then profit from it? Or would this violate it somehow? That's assuming they want to get into this sort of thing.

  19. Re:Here's my plea/beef with linux artwork. on Everaldo and Jimmac On Linux Art and Usability · · Score: 1

    "Why is it that most of the skins/themes that I find on sites like www.kde-look.org all try to emulate MacOS ?" Because icons bounce in MacOS. 'Nuff said.

  20. Re:Art / os on Everaldo and Jimmac On Linux Art and Usability · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree. I think, in art especially, the technical aspect can take you only so far. Creativity is much harder to find, I wouldn't know I'm still working on stick figures.

  21. Re:Lemmee lone!! on Accused Spammer to Debate SpamCop Founder · · Score: 1

    I agree with you that we have the right to be left alone. I think if we are watching TV or listening to the radio, we do not OWN these things (the tv/radio we do, but not the stations) and therefore 'agree' to see advertising. I think the difference is that we do own our inbox and that should protect us from getting spam.

  22. Re:The Big Question I Haven't Seen Answered... on Towards Silent Supersonic Planes · · Score: 1

    You could just say 'change' instead of delta. Oh, look at the t, I should get going...
