  1. Re:Windows is well docuements on Andreesssen: Why Open Source Will Boom - in 103 Words · · Score: 1

    15 years! How did you get access to http://msdn.microsoft.com/ before it was on the net?
    I had to buy MSDN CD-ROMs before the net became popular.

  2. Not really ultimate on Ultimate Cooling System · · Score: 1

    A system that cools to -110C does really seem "ultimate" to me since absolute zero is -273C.

  3. old folks on Six Months Old, Eight New Organs · · Score: 1

    I would think that while old folks might be weak their immune systems would be strong (more "memories") than a middle-aged person.

  4. Re:Still using PCs on 1,028,000 Digital Photographs · · Score: 1

    Good point. The next picture image could be
    displayed in a small window and perhaps the
    human editor could subconsciously get an impression
    of it before it was "officially checked" further
    speeding things up.

  5. Sports is the opiates of the masses on 1,028,000 Digital Photographs · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    What a lot of trouble for pictures of silly game that doesn't matter at all.

  6. Other states on Massachusetts Builds Open-Source Public Repository · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I wonder if other states could use it.
    If so it would make it easier for them to
    move to open source.

  7. Re:the double standard on Microsoft and EU Talks End · · Score: 2, Insightful

    DuBeers has a near monopoly in diamonds while Microsoft has a near monopoly in desktop computers.
    I donno about you but I use my computer more than diamonds!

  8. Don't forget IM on Microsoft and EU Talks End · · Score: 1
    Just like Microsoft is doing with their MediaPlayer they are doing with Instant Messaging. MSN should not be bundled with the OS. (Same with the nags to sign up with Passport.)

    If the EU decision forces the commercial MediaPlayers to be included with Windows. I'd like to see she open source players too. And some commercial and open source IM clients (Miranda with Jabber is my fav).

  9. What about MSN? on Windows Could Lose Media Player in Europe? · · Score: 1

    Microsoft is using their monopoly to hook people
    on MSN IM. They should be forced to include some
    alternative IM products too.

  10. Like Look TV ? on USDTV Announces Low-Cost, Localized Digital TV · · Score: 1

    Is this like Look TV?
    Available in a few Canadian cities.

  11. Re:What Microsoft would like to happen. on Microsoft Facing European Sanctions · · Score: 1

    I agree completely. They are obviously trying
    to extend their monopoly!!!

  12. Please called it MICROSOFT SQL server on New SQL Server Release Slips to 2005 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just calling "SQL server" suggests its the only
    program that serves SQL.

  13. Tech bucks only to the military on DARPA Aims to Redo the Internet Protocol · · Score: 1

    I wish we (The USA) weren't so military focused.
    Why does this have to come out of improving
    the friggin' "Battlespace". If 10% of the money
    spent on the military was spend on civilian research we'd have some pretty cool stuff!

  14. horrible on Making IE Standards Compliant · · Score: 1

    What a horrible job... He'd have to know every foible and gross quirk of IE in order to convert the page into decent HTML. And the very next version of IE will have different oddities. Yuck.

  15. "Network Neighborhood" - what's that? on Implementing CIFS · · Score: 1

    Didn't Microsoft rename "Network Neighborhood" to "Computers Near Me" in XP. That kills me?
    Was "Network Neighborhood" too technical. Of course the computers might not be physically near you.

  16. Re:NAT and Firewall support (Jabber) on GnomeMeeting 1.0 Videoconferencing/VoIP Released · · Score: 1

    Perhaps if you already have a Jabber connection
    with the guy on the the other side... that would
    be a nice starting point. You have Jabber Client --> Jabber Server --> Jabber Client. Perhaps the Jabber client could be enhanced to figure out how to get thru the NAT and launch GnomeMeeting with the necessary settings.

  17. Re:this is very good.... on Cities Building Own Fiber Networks · · Score: 1

    Maybe they'll invent ADSL that will take broadband over phone lines. That would be great. I can hardly wait.

  18. Postfix doesn't require a book on Postfix · · Score: 3, Informative

    It has no impossible-to-understand langauge, the options have reasonable names, they do what they suggest... it just works.

  19. ZeD - "Open source television" on Open Source Spreads Beyond Software · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, it almost is.
    ZeD

  20. Re:Is XP selling that poorly... on Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks · · Score: 1

    Don't you think XP is mostly Windows 2000 code?

  21. Re:TGZ is a package format on Building A Better Package Manager · · Score: 1

    OK, I admit I am wrong.
    I learned something today.
    Maybe they should use different file extension
    like JAR.

  22. TGZ is a package format on Building A Better Package Manager · · Score: 1

    It doesn't have any metadata like what other packages this package requires, etc. Its fine
    for what it is but it ain't no package format.

  23. Its too bad the names are all unrelated on Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name · · Score: 1

    Its seems like basic branding to have some part of the name common for all an enterprise's products.
    MozBird, MozFox MozCam sound good too me.

  24. AOL and video on Audio/Video Conference with iChat and AIM · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Wasn't there a ruling that said AOL would need to allow other IM systems to connect once they got video going.
    Or did they slime out of that?

    Why can we just all go Jabber.

  25. Negative knocking on "Port Knocking" For Added Security · · Score: 3, Informative

    Let's say the correct squence is ports 2000, 2002, 2004. You could add a check that says if there is a knock on port 2001 or 2003 then this guy is locked out for a while.
