  3. Re:This is not a great case... on High-End Aluminum PC Cases Make A Comeback · · Score: 1

    The coolermaster cavalier series is also an excellent set of cases. While not constructed of 100% aluminum, it's a great case for $60-80 (newegg)

  4. Re:Donation on Gates On Future of CS Education · · Score: 1

    indeed. i'd appreciate a free copy of vc, but i already have 2 copies of vb that i rarely touch. one copy was free, the other came with the book i needed for software development 1 (CIS course).

    and i'm not even a cs major, i just enjoy taking some of the classes (java/unix).

  6. Re:It should be part of the OS! on Microsoft To Offer Virus Defense · · Score: 4, Insightful

    *nod* i was hoping that it would have been free like the anti-spyware software that they bought from giant. I suppose i'll just keep using AntiVir on the windows machine.

  7. Re:Burnett on Security for the Paranoid · · Score: 1

    very true, my old job was operating a VM mainframe... it took the first month just learning all the commands.

    it took just as long to remember my password and mask code for CICS/E

    *raises hand*

    i've done it, and killed a redhat box. wasn't much of a loss, i threw debian on right after.

  11. Re:so 30 minutes in and on Mandriva Linux Limited Edition 2005 Released · · Score: 1

    i'd take a look at it if they included the latest gnome... good to see ooo 1.1.4 and firefox 1.0.2 though.

  12. Re:Surprised. on New Debian Project Leader: Branden Robinson · · Score: 3, Interesting

    look at the top 10 hits at distrowatch, and count the number that are either debian or based on it. i'd really like to see more cooperation between them, and the eventual release of sarge as a solid base.

  13. Re:GameSpot page renders badly in firefox on Alternate Reality Game for Xbox 2 E3 Unveiling · · Score: 1

    i might be the only one, but i'm not seeing any problems. running 1.0.2, windows xp, no extensions.

  21. Re:Laptops? on Avalon Preview Released for XP · · Score: 1

    i'm typing on a thinkpad right now... and one with an intel 855gme...
    this having been said, i'm planning on getting an apple laptop next time.
    this machine can play ut2004 at the lowest settings with a good enough framerate that i don't mind it.

    the icons look a lot better now, the old ones didn't look nearly as polished.

    the funny thing about the letter is this line:

    "Who can afford to do professional work for nothing? What hobbyist can put 3-man years into programming, finding all bugs, documenting his product and distribute for free?"

  24. Re:Was there any reason- on Half-Life 2 Deathmatch Confirmed · · Score: 1
    yep, that's most likely the reason.

    once the unofficial DM was setup, valve probably felt the need to release an official version.

    i never tried the hacked DM, i had hoped this would happen and behold!

  25. vaio u on Digital Music Player Overview · · Score: 1

    The Sony Vaio U weighs in at 1.2 lb - light for a PC, heavy for a digital media player - uses a 20GB 1.8" drive and plays audio, video and anything else. The cost is $2000, far more expensive than an iPod and more than most laptops, so the premium priced Vaio U is not the most cost effective if you only want an entertaiment device. For road warriors whose company is picking up the tab. i'd be happier with a $2000 laptop, i wouldn't risk the chance of losing/smashing such a flimsy looking player.
