    they're also going to make a marketing push towards customers they think want more reliability. i expect lots of FUD

  4. Re:Gotta love Dell! on Same Part, Same Supplier, Different Prices · · Score: 1

    this is nothing out of the ordinary. then i worked at APC one of my projects was to build a front-end for their massive pricing database, which had separate prices for each channel.

    now this was only seen by salespeople, which means that dell screwed up

  8. Re:Fark. on Computer-Edited Photos Lead To Child-Porn Locale · · Score: 1

    there are separate tools for skew and perspective. skew would probably be easier for what you describe

    No, the clone brush would screw up the perspective

  10. Re:Brilliant site on MP3tunes Offers Music Service Without DRM · · Score: 1

    It's not just a problem with the artists. Labels are all too willing to screw over an optimistic, naive young band with a bullshit deal.

    That excuses him instaling keylogger how, exactly?

  12. Re:No teaching/learning languages? on A Brief History of Programming Languages? · · Score: 1

    In addition there was a little-known compiler called FutureBASIC for the Macintosh which never really took off.

  13. Re:No teaching/learning languages? on A Brief History of Programming Languages? · · Score: 1

    This is actually a program which implemented the pascal programming language, and on the chart the languages are listed, not programs or IDE's which use them.

    Then why are so many different releases of PHP and perl listed? Very little of the language changed; just the libraries and interpreters.

  14. Re:What's the big deal? on iPod Most Popular Music Player on Microsoft Campus · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Well, I'm glad this popped up quick.

    The answer is: NO. MS bought $150 million of Apple stock. Not even enough to be a voting share.

    The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
    Your question was:

    > Hehe, let's see you finish this one, Mr. Smarty-Oracle!

    > There once was an Oracle from Valhalla....

    And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

    } There once was an Oracle from Valhalla....
    } Who's poetic syllables were incorrect
    } They neither did rhyme
    } Or make anyone impressed
    } Because he was just a fake

  16. Re:You have Cleverly Proved What You Stated on Bill Gates Talks about Belgian eID Card · · Score: 1

    Give me a break. GP could have made a well-reasoned argument, but instead chose the path of fear-mongering, xenophobia, and yellow journalism.

  17. Re:Belgium Population Explains eID on Bill Gates Talks about Belgian eID Card · · Score: 1

    Great, but can the National Front rhetoric and maybe you won't get marginalized by non-psychos.

  18. Re:Belgium Population Explains eID on Bill Gates Talks about Belgian eID Card · · Score: 1

    There is nothing wacko about modifying immigration policies to reflect the current state of the country.

    You have a very good point, and the reason you have the voice of reason is that there is a very big difference between an economic argument and spreading fear about the destruction of Western values by letting those damned foreigners.

    Dig?

  21. Corrections on Top 10 Apple Flops · · Score: 1

    The Macintosh TV was first envisioned as a tenth anniversary Mac, but it was eventually cancelled. After the unexpected success of the Color Classic, John Sculley requested that a machine comparable to the Color Classic be made with a CD ROM drive and a 14 Trinitron CRT. The logic card was a slightly modified IIvx, Apple's midrange 68030 machine. The Macintosh TV was released on October 23, 1993, shortly after being resurrected.

    This isn't quite right. The Mac TV was based on the LC 520, which was only sold in the academic market. This machine actually achieved price parity with an equivalent Windows box (after educational discount).

    Microsoft didn't just resell copies of MS Word 5.1. You actually had to buy Word 6, then DOWNgrade (for a fee) to Word 5.1!

  24. Re:this leaves me perplexed on Red Hat Opens Lobbying Office Near DC · · Score: 1

    Just who do you think paid for all of Bush's pricy relection ads?

    Which were aimed the constituents, not at the government.

    There are plenty of citizens-based lobbying groups out there. Try giving them a hand isntead of watching from the sidelines.

  25. Re:this leaves me perplexed on Red Hat Opens Lobbying Office Near DC · · Score: 2, Insightful

    lobbying by corporations seems to have made lawmakers more responsible to the lobbyist rather than the constituent

    that's because the constituents don't get off their asses and make their voices heard.
