  1. Re:It's amazing anyone employs him on Father of Java, James Gosling Unloads · · Score: 1

    Three rules to live your marriage by courtesy of Craig Ferguson. 1. Does this need to be said? 2. Does this need to be said by me? 3. Does this need to be said by me now?

  2. Voter fraud charge? on Kentucky Officials "Changed Votes At Voting Machines" · · Score: 1

    Given one of our greatest rights as U.S. citizens is the right to vote, those who tamper with such a right should be charged with treason.

  3. WWW already provides free porn for all.. on Case Against Video-Sharing Site Dismissed · · Score: 1

    WWW already provides free porn for all. Before that, there was usenet. Before that...?

  4. Homeland Security Impact? on Judge Rules Man Cannot Be Forced To Decrypt HD · · Score: 1

    I'm interested in how this affects U.S. Customs with regards to inspecting laptops of U.S. citizens returning from travelling abroad. If the courts decide that revealing the key is a violation of the 5th amendment, then perhaps it could also apply to individuals not accused of a crime? In other words, you can take my laptop, but I don't have to give you access to the data /pfffffft

  5. Re:who pays a cultist? on Apple Sued For Turning Workers Into Slaves · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of Pirates of Silicon Valley where they showed a T-Shirt Jobs was handing out to his employees as part of the MAC roll out. "Working 120 hours per week and loving it" or something like that.

  6. Not so much Vista, but 3rd party apps. on Microsoft Admits Vista Has "High Impact Issues" · · Score: 4, Interesting

    -Vmware still has yet to release a new VMWorkstation (6.0 is in beta) designed to run Vista as the host O/S
    -Novell has yet to set a timetable for a Novell client capable of installing on Vista.
    -AutoCad 2007 no timetable yet
    -Lotus Notes client 7.01 (no Official support from IBM, though seems to work fine)
    -Symantec Antivirus (need to upgrade to version 10.0)

    Those are the biggies for our campus (that we've found so far....)

  7. What about CEO rewards? on Novell Gets $348 Million From Microsoft · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Indeed it is worth 10x as much. But then you have to factor in an extra compensation package for CEO, CFO, CIO, and any other C*O in the company totaling a measly $81 million dollars as a way of saying thanks for putting the Microsoft deal together.

  8. Not a good customer retention idea... on MSN Music Purchases Not Compatible with Zune · · Score: 2, Interesting

    One would think Microsoft would do their best to retain their customer base from MSN Music.

  9. Over 50+ updates and still going... on Windows XP SP3 Postponed Until 2008 · · Score: 1

    Brand new WinXP installation w/ SP2 slipstreamed finds over 50 critical updates needed (not including upgrading WMP or adding .Net). Of course that's all after you connect to the Internet,download the Genuine Advantage Tool and updated Windows Installer, reboot and reconnect to Windows Updates all in the hopes of not being compromised while doing so. [sarcasm]But year, why provide a SP to help out your corporate customers. Just doesn't make sense.[/sarcasm]

  10. Doesn't seem to benefit the enduser... on Vista Licenses Limit OS Transfers, Ban VM Use · · Score: 1

    I "guess" I understand the motivation for restrictions at lower levels, though once again, this makes alternatives more attractive.

  11. Re:Dual-Booting Can Go Take A Freaking Hike on No EFI Support for Vista · · Score: 1

    I would rather get OS X running on VMware (legally). Currently, no product offers this. We can already run Windows on OS X using Virtual PC.

  12. Re:Hole With No Bottom on Office 12 Exposed · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I've had no troubles w/ Word documents printing. 3mb or 40mb, they all print just fine on all of our various HPs and Xerox' Now PDF from Acrobat, well now..that's a whole nother story. For every mb over 3mb, add another minute onto your print job. I've got faculty printing 300 page research papers in pdf format, yet only the first two pages will come out before the job dies.
