  1. In a related study... on Tall People Earn More · · Score: 1

    Men pay more attention to women with large breasts than women with small breasts.

  2. I say support them on Intuit Apologizes to Turbo Tax Customers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They're showing that companies can actually listen to their customers. Support them and maybe other companies will take notice.

  3. audio out - audio in == ripped on New Anti-Swap CDs Hit Shelves · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unless they can encrypt the audio up to the point that it enters the ears, it can be ripped with a soudn capture card or d/a io. Any of these schemes just causes a speed bump for creating mp3s and hurts the music industry by causing incompatible media.

    Just make MP3s easier to buy. I'm more than happy supporting the artists!

  4. Stupid question... on Samba 3.0.0RC1 Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    Has samba ever been such a good implementation of M$ that it's fallen victim to viruses that are targeted at one of the M$ variants?

  5. Re:Mac versions? on Microsoft Tries a "Switch" Campaign · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm wondering if this is a sign that MS might be planning on dropping support for OS X?

    Just a conspiracy theory....

  6. Nice! on Send Some Mo' Zilla · · Score: 1

    I've bitched about the other versions and said they suck. But, M18 is very nice on my Win2K laptop (haven't had a chance to test linux yet). Just wanted to give a kudos when it is well deserved.

  7. I'd hate to be in charge of Sony's security... on Sony VP On Stopping Napster · · Score: 1

    Imagine the lack of sleep after a Sony official made a comment like that. "Oh no, here come all the linux hackers!" And I was seriously considering the CD-R camera. There's $1200 that's not going to be converted to yen!

  8. What about this the iRon? on iMac Look Protected by Copyright · · Score: 1

    Think this was posted awhile back, but this iron - Rowenta Sufline - was around before the iMac. I'm sure there are other similar looks. What's next? Rectangular computer copyrights? Inovate, and build a good product. If you do it well you won't need the lawyers.

  9. Re:is he wrong? on Dvorak On Linux And "The Big Time" · · Score: 3

    Truthfully, I think he was taunting the slashdot crowd to come on over and post your flames. The more feedbacks they get the higher their ratings. Just like the Neilsen ratings. Show alot of swimsuits, flame Linux -- same thing.

    Just an opinion.

  10. Re:This is dumnb on NCR Sues Netscape For Patent Infringement · · Score: 1

    I think Nike had a quote about 2nd place being 1st loser. You you can use that to claim 1st post.

    ;-)

    Seriously though, the lawyers can screw up anything. No legal expert here, but the patents are generally written so vaguely that they simply can't keep up with the rapid change in the 'Net.

  11. Re:Macromedia on Macromedia Flash for Unix out soon · · Score: 1

    I think it was in beta before. Must be the official release. Now I want Dreamweaver for Linux!!! Then I have much less of a reason to ever type "win98" at the lilo prompt!

  12. Doubtful this will happen... on Tivoli Thinks About Linux · · Score: 1

    Tivoli is a very expensive package, which usually means that it is used in large shops that have large operating budgets. I have no hard stats, but I'd be willing to bet that it is these shops that have higher beauracracy and unwillingness to commit to an "unsupported" OS for mission critical apps yet.

    I'd be very happy to just see Tivoli support Linux as an endpoint / managed node. Still an interesting development in Linux's preogress to world domination!!!
