  1. Re:The 50 millionth person on Firefox Breaks 50,000,000 Barrier · · Score: -1

  2. Ed Mcmahon is on his way to the dude's house on Firefox Breaks 50,000,000 Barrier · · Score: 0, Funny

    with a big fake check and a camera crew right now.

  3. We were going to try something like this... on NetBSD - Live Network Backup · · Score: -1

    Using a product by Riverbed called a Steelhead. Basically a caching device, the company promised that we would get almost LAN speeds over out WAN. It's currently on my counter in my office waiting to be boxed up and sent back. In a pure MS environment it probably would have worked great, and delivered the speed increases. We however are running a MS/ Novel environment... with only Netware servers at the remote locations.

  4. Awesome Review! on Kevin Smith Previews Revenge of the Sith · · Score: 0

    I can't wait to see III.
    - Did anyone else instantly think of the "Empire" scene in Clerks when you heard that Kevin Smith wrote the review?

  7. Re:Hard one on OpenOffice vs. MS Office for Education? · · Score: 1

    Still it's $20 or $30 per license... times thousands of computers.

    - at the same time you have to factor in the IS time to uninstall MS Office and install OOo. (not cheap!) Unless they are using Zenworks and have the ability to install or uninstall at the flip of a switch. (any Netware geeks out there?)

  8. Hang on, I have to call my Virtual Realtor... on Sony Online To Sell Virtual Property · · Score: 1

    I need to unload a few hot properties...

  9. Re:New product in the works? on Microsoft's 911 Patent · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    They already hijack computers. (it's called spy-ware). And they crash. The only real difference is that the Hijackers in this case are not trying to bring down America, they are trying to make a quick buck or just cause trouble. (that and when a computer crashed it only rarely causes death and mayhem)

    Just wait until the "Down with the American Pigs" hijackers get more computer savvy... probably sometime next week.

  13. Re:critical mass eh? on MP3 Market Approaching Critical Mass · · Score: 1

    "When will the quality of music reach tolerable mass?"

    - Too true, I really hate it when you actually BUY a new CD and all the songs except the one that you bought the damn thing for are really bad. I still love hanging out in music stores and I'll continue to buy music - lately I have been just buying old stuff to fill in my collection.

    Oh, well...

  14. Speaking of the DarkSide and iPods... on MP3 Market Approaching Critical Mass · · Score: 1

    George Bush's list of iPod songs was released... http://www.thenation.com/edcut/index.mhtml?bid=7&p id=2321...

    Georgie only has around 200 songs loaded up, I like the list of suggested songs to fill some of the thousands of empty slots.

  15. Re:Bush supports freedom, Slashdot silent on Blogs Latest Source of PC Infection · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Bitter? Off Topic?

    Sounds like there is a Fox Network blog that you should be writing somewhere.

    We use Erado (www.erado.com) for spam filtering (and content/ virus filtering) We are up to 97% of the messages being blocked. 87% of those messages are to non-existant users (wrongname@domain.com).
