  1. Oh really now? on A Public Library's Linux Success Story · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Library management is happy because of the money it is saving. Those savings come from reduced administration costs and from hardware savings.

    Bout time someone actually tested the fact that the admin costs are cheaper. I agree. But many others dont:

    And much more...

  2. SWEET! on Mono Project Releases Beta 1 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is great! I've had to turn down a few customers because I cant run .NET applications on my web hosting, this will give me that ability! Perfect!

  3. Overclockers heaven on AMD Beats Intel in CPU Sales · · Score: 4, Informative

    How much you wanna bet that 25% of the sales were people buying 2200+'s or the likes, and overclocking to 3100+?

    I know I was one of them.
    That factor alone may be why AMD was on top.

  4. Re:Yeah! on Sony Connect Online Music Download Store Launches · · Score: 1

    And I'd rather put up with apple's easily broken rights management so that my data is really MY DATA than Microsoft/Sony/Whatever's DRM stuff.

  5. Blinders! on Sun Java Desktop System Release 2 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Lockdown of the user desktop: In the context of configuration management, lockdown plays a significant role, as it prevents users from changing their default environment and helps administrators provide and mandate simpler desktop environments, which in turn can help prevent users from being distracted from their core work. In the competition with other desktop systems, lockdown plays an important role.

    Sun's software now includes blinders! Why wont my opponet debate this issue? Is it because he's a horse... or because he has BLINDERS ON! No periphial vision! *snap* *snap* *snap*

  6. At least you can use Apple's stuff.... on Sony Connect Online Music Download Store Launches · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Sony's stuff is restricted to Sony's patforms. At least Apple's iTunes software is multiplatform, openly usable (there are cgi scripts that will query the database and get songs for you) - I dont think Sony will get very far with their online music store.

  7. Re:Please.... on Snap Appliance Snap Server 1100 NAS Device · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Short answer - yes. The shipping department is sometimes almost as important as the product. It lets you know if you're likely to get the product in one piece. it lets you know if you'll end up with moving parts that... arent supposed to be moving. Apple's laptops, for example. Check out the packaging on those. My guess is the boxes and all will withstand a 20ft drop and the laptop will still arrive in pristine working appearance.

  8. Wi-Fi? on Review: LinuxCertified LC2210 Laptop · · Score: 1

    They act as if this laptop is any worse than any other when it comes to Wi-Fi. It's just the way Linux is... Wireless is such a PITA in Linux - missing simple features such as the ability to scan for SSID's that are broadcasting.

  9. Noooooooooo on What Happens To Your Data When You Die? · · Score: 1

    My precious pr0n is coming with me, biatch!

  10. Re:No, DeImidazole2 on Core CSS (2nd ed.) · · Score: 0, Offtopic

  11. Re:CSS sucks on Core CSS (2nd ed.) · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    How about DEAnonCoward? CSS r0x0rs your s0x0rs

  12. 800k? on Bill Gates Fined $800,000 Over Stock Purchases · · Score: 2, Funny

    Guess he'll have to sacrifice for once in his life...

    No new golden toilet bowl seat this month.

  13. Re:This is nothing new. on Comcast Warns Infringing Customers Of Abuse · · Score: 1

    lol... *shrug* I dont care if people know who I am or where I'm from, or what I do. I've got nothing to hide. The position I'm in is a bit odd, because of my l33t h4x0r background, I strongly disagree with many of the practices we're foreced to uphold... I believe in free software, free internet, and all that jazz ;)

  14. This is nothing new. on Comcast Warns Infringing Customers Of Abuse · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I work for Cox Communication's Network Security department, and we handle hundereds of these issues a day.
    You are found to be sending out copyrighted material over P2P networks, we get the complaint, and turn your service off. You call in, we tell you you were distributing the copyrighted gaybarebackporndivx.avi - and you promise to disable your outgoing filesharing.
    We turn you back on, close the ticket, and all is back to normal.

  15. Just one comment. on Super MP3 Will Feature User Tracking · · Score: 1

    OMFG! IEI? TISL!

  16. No shock. on US Losing its Scientific Dominance · · Score: -1, Troll

    I knew we had no chance in scientific dominance the minute I heard of russia competing in the space race. Its nothing new.

    Its simply because we have the highest standards of security and safety, and they dont care who dies in the process.

  17. I own a 2002 Camaro SS... on A Camaro That Leaves A Wake · · Score: 2

    And 125mph is nothing. I take it up to 155mph (Where the speedo cuts off) at least once a week. I'd hate to have my 5.7l V8 gutted for a 4-banger. Thats blasphemy..
