  1. ms livecd on 18 Live Linux CDs -- In A Row · · Score: 1

    microsoft should make a livecd... that way getting un-pwned would always be a reset button away for n00bs

  2. history of computers... on The History of Computing Auctioned at Christie's · · Score: 2, Interesting

    wouldn't it make sense to put it on ebay?

  3. cash on EFF Asks How Big Brother Is Watching The Internet · · Score: 1

    the money might be better spent trying to get government under control rather than for finding out just how insane they have become...

  4. hold on a sec... on Skype For Mac OS X and Linux · · Score: 1

    time to cancel the phone line... skype + a minimal voip service to get incoming calls can cost less than $20/mo. as opposed to $40+ for a landline... the bells better get fiber to my house before skype fixes their incoming call problem...

  5. too much risk... on Google Rewards Employees With Millions · · Score: 1

    if employees are trying to win prizes, won't their appetite for risk increase in order to be competitive? is this a good corporate strategy?

  6. puzzles are hard... on Ubisoft to Publish Puzzle Pirates · · Score: 1

    i haven't even figured out how to use this compu

  7. spam is annoying... on Can-Spam Increased Spam · · Score: 1

    but what is rediculous is that taxpayers money (who knows how much) was used to create legislation that had the exact opposite effect it was meant to have... write your member of congress, tell them to go home, less will "get done" and more will be achieved...

  8. how many cases? on New Legal Center for Open Source Projects · · Score: 1

    cases dealing with software (ip, facilitating piracy, and patents) can be extremely complex... how much can these guys possibly handle at one time?

  9. efficiency on Solar Super-Sail Could Reach Mars in a Month · · Score: 1

    how many miles per gallon is that? maybe i'll rtfa...

  10. activex on Netscape 8 to Emphasize Security · · Score: 1

    trying to achieve a secure environment is really pointless if activex support is present in any form... does anybody really believe the folks at m$ have not been trying to solve their activex problem for the past decade... (don't answer that)

  11. n00bs on 3D Sphere Interface for XP · · Score: 1

    this could become a good tool for people who do major multitasking (i would perfer a cube) but this is the kind of thing that could potentially scare the life out of a pc n00b...

  12. good start... on MSN Search Has Arrived · · Score: 1

    competition will spur innovation, so it's good to see more players... now the folks @ google can't rest on their laurels since big money is competing with them...

  13. new buzz word... on Microsoft Office Formats Not Really Being Opened · · Score: 1

    so now the word open can be used to describe things that are not really open but purported to be open... good job ms...

  14. wmv? on BBC Bill Gates Interview Part 2: Security · · Score: 1

    real media and no wmv? heads are gonna roll!!!

  15. hope? on Solaris 10 Released · · Score: 1

    is there any hope for solaris at this point... they really missed the "windows alternative" marketing angle that linux vendors were using, and adoption of their products has slowed significantly now that linux is a viable alternative to expensive unix machines in the corporate environment

  16. in bed with sco? on IBM Subpoenas Intel Into SCO Fray · · Score: 1

    hopefully sco will go bankrupt or reach its legal spending cap and just disappear like a "good" pos company

  17. "sold directly to governments only." on The Hundred-Buck PC · · Score: 1

    and we all know that governmanets are so efficient that by the time it gets to the consumer it will cost them (or the tax payers) thousands...

  18. competition on Google Still Ahead In Search Competition · · Score: 1

    it's good and i'm sure it'll last... as long as search is profitable...

  19. what's next on Man Reportedly Jailed for Using Lynx · · Score: 1

    lynx + whitehouse.gov = gitmo scary times...

  20. tools on MPAA Releases Software For Parents · · Score: 1

    so they're giving parents a tool that will return a list of *.mp3 and expecting what?piracy to drop off significantly or parents to engage their children in a debate on copyright issues... people with free time don't waste it trying to help the riaa/mpaa

  21. slow news day... on Norwegian Student Ordered to Pay for Hyperlinks to Music · · Score: 1

    offering pirated music over http is begging to get caught... where's the news?

  22. details on Samsung's Linux-based Diskless Camcorder · · Score: 1

    right, most people want products that "just work" the people who want every last detail are the minority however they drive the change and adoption of these products

  23. i forget... on The Dot Com Super Bowl · · Score: 1

    was that the "good old days" or the "bad old days", either way they were amusing times...

  24. region free... on All Three Next-Gen Consoles at e3 2005 · · Score: 1

    it's nice that they'll all be available at about the same time, and i'm sure each will have some good titles to play but i'll probably buy the one that lets me watch media (hddvd/blueray) from other regions by default... oh wait, none of them probably will...

  25. nice on Microsoft in 2008 · · Score: 1

    interesting read, not very plausible but interesting nonetheless
