  3. Whats the point? on Vista Capable Lawsuit Loses Class-Action Status · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I was part of one of the previous class action suits. After years of waiting all I got was a coupon for a $15 discount on windows or office.

  4. less? on Washington Post Blog Shuts Down 75% of Online Spam · · Score: 1

    Seems like every time there is a story about a spammer getting shut down , the amount of spam that I get increases.

  5. Isn't this already happening? on Geoengineering To Cool the Earth Becoming Thinkable · · Score: 1

    Burning all this coal and oil creates CO2, plus creates a lot of soot in the air which is blocking the sun. Otherwise we would have cooked a long time ago?

    Money aside, sounds like they do a good job. Everyone is complain because they are used to getting the paper on time. When the don't complain becasue it's allways late is when you should start worrying.

  10. Sun going out of business soon? on Sun COO Schwartz Promises Open Source Solaris · · Score: 1

    First they say hardware will be free. Now they're going to Open Source Solaris? Maybe they will adapt into a service company.

  11. Not true, there are security releases. on FreeBSD 4.9 Released · · Score: 1

    I'll take your post seriously.

    They probably mean it includes security fixes compared to 4.8-RELEASE. However security releases do exist, they are versions with a p# in them. e.g 4.8-p13. These contain 4.8 release plus any security fixes.

    Also there are release engineering versions (aka releng) that have the update that have a version number like 4.8-20031010. These contain secuity updates plus system and driver updates.

  12. Israeli attacks on Israeli Government Suspends Microsoft Contracts · · Score: 1

    I wonder what the range is on Israel's fighters? Maybe they have some old missiles around to send to Redmond? Israel _has_ been in a really pissy mood lately.

  13. murder on Disgruntled Fan Arrested, Indicted For Spam Attacks · · Score: 1

    Could have murdered them all and got less jail time!

  14. maybe.. on Smart Sofa Recognizes Occupants by Weight · · Score: 1

    When it senses you gaining too much weight, it will lift you up like those grandma chairs, kick you in the butt and make you go for a walk.

  15. Re:Rio Volt SP250 on Portable MP3 Player w/ Unix Support? · · Score: 1

    Rio Volt 250 is great, just not usable for running. Yes is has 8 minute skip protection, still not usable for running.

    However running on a treadmill has been okay for me.
