    Maybe this version will actually have some decent support for wireless and WPA...

    Mount Vesuvius's famous eruption in 79 AD. Insert your own "buried in..." jokes here. ;)

    If a software package falls in the GPL, and no one pays for the use of the code, will the company make any money??

  13. Nostalgia on Google's Impact on the Internet · · Score: 0

    Remember "back in the day", around 1994, when there was Webcrawler, and every query brought back only 12 hits? And none of them were pR0n? And you had to go to a BBS via modem to get drivers? Gettin' old...

  16. Change of perception on How Much Respect Do You Get? · · Score: 0

    In the "Olden Days" of IT, an IT "Geek" had all the keys to the kingdom and was seen as a technology doctor. Nowadays, an IT "Geek" still has all the keys to the kingdom, but its viewed in more of a "janitorial" capacity. "Wow, big keyring Bob!" Old days: "Thank God, our "Geek" is here to save us. Have a brownie!" Now: "Yo, geek-boy, do something about the nasty hair clog in the router. And I want that web interface to sparkle!" I think it's partially due to computing becoming more mainstream. No one sees it as "magic" anymore... *SIGH*

    Speaking of Hillary, how about that video game where you murder someone and make it look like suicide in a park? Oh, wait...

    "Marketing are bad for brand big and small. You Know What I am Saying? It is no wondering that advertisings are bad for company in America, Chicago and Germany. ... McDonald's and Coca Cola are good brand. ... Gates do good marketing job in Microsoft." Sounds like they used "offshore" labor to code the grammar checking module... ;)

  21. Area 51 and Google? on No Secret Plan at Google? · · Score: 0

    I don't believe we quite have a conspiracy theory here...

  22. As opposed to millions of "Zombie" users... on Over a Million Zombie PCs · · Score: 0

    Brought to you by AOL. ;)

  23. CD Burning on NeroLinux vs. K3b · · Score: 0

    I imagine NERO Linux must have quite the CD burning capability...

  24. Donate the old phones on Repurposing Old Usable Cell Phones? · · Score: 0

    Battered women's shelters will take these phones. They are useful, as they can still dial 911.
