  1. Re:Interesting? on New Debian-based Enterprise Linux? · · Score: 1

    The RPM's for apt are for the apt package manager. Not the .deb file format. I don't know about the deb's for RPM.

  2. Harry potter Books on Old-Fashioned DRM Protects Harry Potter Book · · Score: 1

    I knew someone who worked for a bookstore for many years. Even since book 4, there have been lables on the boxes that the stores get that say "Don not open by blah blah midnight." Every year we opened the boxes just to see what happened. Also, I finished the books before they ever came out. Its nice have bookstore friends. Its also nice to know that "social engeneering notes" don't work on me.

  4. Re:analog is not standard is not hd.... on Who Cares if Analog TV Goes Dark? · · Score: 1

    Because my cable company charges $50 for standard Analogue cable, another $50 for digital, another $20 for HDTV and another $10 for the box....per month. Don't even get me started on internet and phone services form Time Warner. It is a hellish greedy cable company that is trying to turn CNN into an advertising agency.

  7. Re:Windows 98 SE is so brilliant on Microsoft Developing Windows for Low-End Machines · · Score: 1

    98SE is possibly the only good MS OS since DOS. My old desktop that came preinstalled (no CD drive so no linux) with a little tweaking still runs very fast with modern apps.

  13. Re:Who's copying whom on Jobs Claims Microsoft Is Shamelessly Copying · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    >XP already contains a scripting host (so it's not "front end".. wow, big deal), it already contains Windows Messenger (video capable) and MS have released several different 64-bit OSes already. Windows also includes a local machine search engine already. Apple Alreday had a scripting Host, now with a frontend... iChat AV alreday had Video, better now OS X was already 64bit Compliant...Better now. Spotlight will be real-time updating Metadata and File name search, not the POS that XP uses.

  14. FLL on LEGO Junior Robotics Competition This Weekend · · Score: 1

    I participate in First Lego League every year and it is really fun. You and your team builds a robot, programs it in "MindCode" or "RoboLab" and runs it against various challenges. If you are luck enough to live in a state that does A "Division 3" highschool special tournament, you can program in any language you like. It's fun

    Flash block loads the file, just stops it from playing. No bandwidth saved.

    Ubuntu is no-longer a LiveCD distro anymore. It is mainly desktop. It still runs liveCD but most install it. It is big because it just works. I installed it on my machine in 30minutes and it detected all of my hardware, except for my sound card that even windows failed to detect. Also first non-BSD to get my vid card info on the first try.

  22. Re:Warning on Novell's Race Against Time · · Score: 1

    Novell Does not want to be a home Distro. They want to keep the server market, and add Desktops that will connect to their servers. They want to have the whole office, not just the icebox.
