  1. Re:Shorthorn? on Windows Longhorn Beta for June Release · · Score: 1

    but that's not how they maintain dominance. They make your box into a Microsoft repository. Remember their vision - the only software you need somes from them. or as I like to say "If it ain't from Microsoft, it ain't good for ya".

  2. what? on UPN Officially Cancels 'Star Trek: Enterprise' · · Score: 1

    haven't we joked about us earthlings being a set of tasty treats for our alien overlords?

  8. returning to do grad work on Advice for Returning to School After Long Break? · · Score: 1

    I too am in this situation.

    Just remember two things:
    1) be diligent - study hard and do your work

    2) the level of excellence you should expect the professors to expect is higher than you're expecting :-)

  9. Re:it will die... on Harrison Ford Confirms Indiana Jones IV Production · · Score: 2, Funny

    the main indicator will be if Indy 4 is a prequel. We can meet Indy's dad as a youth learning the ways of the For... err.. archeology.

  10. Re:Top Five reasons why the space program should b on Apollo 12 at 35 · · Score: 1

    and space is alot sexier than researching cow farts

    or your TV suddenly shutting off, freezing up, require hardware upgrades/service packs to watch certain TV shows.

  12. Re:Disney's Track Record.... on Disney to Make Toy Story 3 Without Pixar · · Score: 1

    they'll also alter the ending of the original 3 so Buzz i shoots and Zurgg first. and of course, digitally replace footage in the orginals with those that better fit the new sequels. or maybe we need to see prequels? When did Andy get Woody? Where's that backstory?

  13. Re:hard and soft on Bill Gates Proclaims End of Passwords · · Score: 5, Funny

    Bill's right, though. He knows if you use M$ products you don't need passwords. You'll still get 0wn3d.

  14. Re:Novell has a heartbeat?? on Novell Swings Back at Ballmer · · Score: 1

    sat in on a seminar of their's the other week. it boiled down to "our Linux is the best Linux".

    awwww neural net cluster..... droooool

  18. Re:Fire Ron Zook on Flying By Brain · · Score: 1

    I hate to feed (mostly) offtopic banter.. but isn't college about learning? I realize those people out on the football field are learning things about the sport... but geez people - its just a game. Hit the showers and get back into the classroom.

  19. Re:Unless we spend more on education... on Medical Care Gets Outsourced Too · · Score: 1

    I hate to agree to this because I love this country. I see waaaaay too many people regard higher education as uncool, a means to some end, or something to do. I really would like to see more people seeking (and enjoying the pursuit of) technical degrees with a specific career paths in mind. There are too many college grads bagging groceries and delivering pizzas.

  20. Re:How to put this... on If Windows Came to PPC, Would You Switch? · · Score: 1

    i've already resolved to start writing my own OS should Linux (and all other open-source) suddenly die.

    if Windows came to breathing air I wouldn't switch.

  22. Re:When people stop watching them? on William Shatner to Star in New Reality TV Series · · Score: 1

    so you're saying it goes: 1) exploit the public 2) put it on TV 3) profit I have to admit I'm becoming skeptical about the quantity of "reality" in modern reality TV....

  23. Re:800lb Gorilla on Gates on Spyware and OS Competition · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that the company who knows the most about putting spyware in its products would know the most about how to block them. It makes sense, in M$'s world, that any other competition (including those that spy on a user) be stifled by "creating" a similar product.

  24. Re:Let me be the first to say: on George Lucas Speaks on Trilogy Changes · · Score: 1

    so the Rebellion Strikes Back?
