  3. how is this the fccs business... on FCC Rules Telcos Need Not Provide Naked DSL · · Score: 1

    in some states dsl is the only show in town and this makes it impossible for people to use voip providers for their voice service (and save)... how can the fcc know what's best for every state?

  4. i'd say... on How Open Source Drives Down Startup Costs · · Score: 1

    when you're a small company and you can use off the shelf hardware to creat your own pbx instead of spending thousands, it is of benefit...

    what will be interesting is if there is a new generation of companies that continue to use and help develop these tools that benefit them as they grow, or just move on to proprietary software and hardware solutions...

    does it have a defibrillator mode for when it tops someone's heart?

  6. real computers... on Low-Cost Simputer Fails to Win Indians' Interest · · Score: 1

    with all the millions of spare parts (warehouses filled with PII chips) in the world do third workd countries really need to settle for custom stripped down machines when they could build full machines that are a few generation out of date for about the same price...

    there must be loads of inventory that companies would love to have a tex-efficient way of getting rid of...

  7. in communist san francisco... on San Francisco Attempts to Regulate Blogging · · Score: 1

    freaks can do whatever they want... but "normal people" with opinions need to fill out disclosure forms...

    but how are they going to get the dev community on board with this?

  12. not to be cynical... on Sony to Make an "iTunes for Movies" · · Score: 1

    but knowing sony it will cost just as much / only marginally less to dl a movie than it would to get the dvd...

  13. not enough oversight... on British Goverment to Reshape BBC Governance · · Score: 1

    it's not like they're taking it public...

  14. price or performance... on Debian to be Marketed to Japan and China · · Score: 1

    debian can't win on price in china... you can pick up a copy of xp for about the price of a blank cd, so it'll have to win on it's other merits...

  15. ok but... on New Round of Lawsuits in Preparation for Oscars · · Score: 1

    are the going to announce the names of the people that they are suing during the show... that's one way they could get me to watch...

    You've had your idenity stolen the gov has decided to waste some of your tax dollars on giving old people a crash course in technology...

  20. security? on Cisco Evolving Into A Security Company · · Score: 3, Insightful

    do you really have to evolve into a security company in order to ensure that your products are secure... isn't it a fair expectation that when you buy an expensive router etc. that it won't have enormous flaws that allow for numerous exploits? regardless of who you buy it from?

  21. ya but... on Server Inside a Suitcase · · Score: 1

    i heard of these things called laptops; they fit in smaller cases and they won't make you look like a fool...

  22. windows - wmp on Inside Windows XP Reduced Media Edition · · Score: 1

    i don't see how getting windows to do less out of the box is good for competition... the people who are not savvy enough to uninstall wmp and add a third party player may not be able to figure out how to get their music to play on windows without calling for support... allowing the user to excude (during installation) wmp, ie, paint, notepad, or whatever app you don't fancy is a much better route. If users don't want to be "forced" to use microsoft applications they should step away from the windows box...

  23. hold on... on The Death of the Music CD · · Score: 1

    you mean those shiny coasters we have contain a primative form of music on them?
