    jsmillikin (a)t aol dot com Every time somebody has to visit aol.com for webmail, god kills a techy.

  2. Re:Microsoft and Mozilla on MSN's Slate Recommends Firefox over IE · · Score: 1

    No, because everything payed for by Microsoft, running on Microsoft's servers, and serving ads provided by Microsoft is probably already a shill.

  3. Re:Microsoft and Mozilla on MSN's Slate Recommends Firefox over IE · · Score: 1

    Slate would lose its (generally) good reputation in an instant if it was seen to be shilling for Microsoft.

    You mean, if it's url was slate.msn.com?

  4. Re:Because you can kill any 2.6.x kernel on Why Learning Assembly Language Is Still Good · · Score: 1

    Perhaps because that's NetBSD, and it crashes Linux?

  5. Re:Compatability checklist. on Microsoft's Magical 'Myth-Busting' Tour · · Score: 1

    If you're just talking popularity, ".jpg" and ".gif" are more common than either of the ones you mentioned. I don't think MS is after the pimply porn viewer market.

    Actually, you still have to maintain Linux boxes (new versions, patches, new features, etc). The only difference is you only need 1 guy for 10 boxes, rather than 10 for 1.

    4-6 hours on what? If that's for a 486, then it would just be a few minutes on a modern computer. However, if those numbers are about a dual Xeon with 2G ram, I think my webserver is safe (unless they want to spend days on it).

  8. That's an awful lot of money on OQO Examined · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's a lot of money for what is essentially a miniature laptop. Is it really worth it, when you can buy a 2ghz laptop with 256+ MB of ram for less than $1000?

  9. Re:Damn, what a bad summary. on Bioterrorism Charges Brought Against Professor · · Score: 0

    Actually, he will not "be fine". As stated earlier, being indicted by a Grand Jury can ruin somebody's life.

    It's not for their protection, it's so if somebody falls off of one they won't sue the city for "improper protective devices" or some such.

    ...how long until the Mayor falls off of one?

  12. Re:No thanks on Gaming PC Makers Take Aim at Lucrative Niche · · Score: 1

    If your willing to pay less to get less, why stop at an XBox?
    Because some people (me included) are willing to pay less only when you're getting nearly the same quality. For example, I don't need to see people's shadows in games...it's just not important to me. Same goes for FSAA and whatever else is cool. Why buy an ATI X800 when a 9200 fits your needs?

    Where? I don't see "blathering idiot" anywhere in there.

    No, this just means it's possible to force Linux to be insecure.

    We really need a "-1, wrong" moderation. My Linksys router works perfectly. SSID boadcasting is turned on and off correctly, Nothing is open to the net unless I tell it to be (it's disabled by default).
