  1. Advice on How Long is Too Long to Update? · · Score: 1

    Unplug the RJ45 and alwayss wear a condom.

  2. DNS; not so hard really on Secure DNS a Hard Sell · · Score: 1

    I will admit that a first glance DNS is a real PITA, but a little persistance like with most things and you'll come out smelling of roses. Watching the first AXFR is quite something.

    I thought about doing Secure DNS but seems highly irrelevant on a private home network.

    at the end of the day, it is lazyness, lack of understanding the Whole PictureTM and the old mantra of "Why change what works already".

    Burns: This is a thousand monkeys working at a thousand typewriters. Soon, they'll have written the greatest novel known to mankind. (reads one of the typewriters) "It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times"?! you stupid monkey! (monkey screeches)
  4. Pro Words on Searchable C/C++ DB surpasses 275 million lines · · Score: 1

    Obviously we geeks really want to know is, how many "F" & "S" profanity words there are, amongst other useful and descriptive comments.

  5. Inspire the Next on Web Based Rhapsody Targets Linux · · Score: 1

    Really should of been Googles tag-line, not Hitachis.. did anyone notice the BETA word on the page? (next to the Rhapsody logo)

  6. Re:What will happen to the Netscape Divison ? on Time Warner To Be Split Into Four Parts? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Netscape still has an after-life in the form of Mozilla, which if above does become true, maybe Mozilla could take a name change and become Netscape once again.

    Still, I am just thinking aloud.

  7. Also on Earliest Bird Had Feet Like Dinosaur · · Score: 1

    Surprisingly... they tasted just like Chicken too (or KFC, maybe)

  8. Re:Oakley Thumps on Next Generation of MP3 Glasses · · Score: 1
    All this technology is wrapped in some of the most revolutionary eyewear sculpture on the planet. Oakley XYZ Optics® gives you virtually distortion-free vision, even at the sides of raked-back lens contours. Plutonite® lens material blocks 100% of all UV, and Iridium® lens coatings optimize vision in any light. When it comes to impact resistance OAKLEY THUMP exceeds ANSI Industrial Standards. Models are available with premium Oakley polarization for glare filtering without the haze and distortion of conventional polarized lenses.
    I'm bought.
  9. Re:this country is strange on Driving Away Teens With High Frequency Noise · · Score: 1
    They don't buy enough CDs or go to enough movies.
    Be alright if half the stuff was worth listening to or worth watching.

    So fed-up with tired old re-makes/re-releases of old classics.

    You're not alone as there are plenty of people on the net that would pay top $ to see the action.

  11. 3.5 on KDE 3.5 Released · · Score: 0

    now, why is that precisely 3.5 days ago, I built 3.4.2 from ports? oh well, back to portupgrade for me :(

  12. Re:Windows 2003 is solid on A Look at Windows Server Outselling Linux · · Score: 1
    It has the solid NT kernel without all the extra cruft of XP
    A liitle bit of web earching via google or yahoo maybe msn would reveal that 2k3 could infact be just like XP, only better thanks to the defaults that should of been included with The original XP.

    but I use Opera as IE needs lots of locking down
    although I agree IE6 is bad but the "locked down" version is actually quite good if just a wee bit of a skeptic.

    Oh, and MS OSs are finally remotely administrable
    so is 2k, even a newb that bought a dell back in 99/00 could do just that, only the 2k3 improved it significantly. A newb that bought a HP could do it today.

    [ps. sorry about the last pun, had way too much fun & drink :( ]
  13. Re:Irresistable on Cray Co-Founder Joins Microsoft · · Score: 1
    And that's some very interesting logic - if you are not no1, just give up.
    tell that to Microsoft who will happily throw millions away to just be no1(sic).

    Are you suggesting that the beloved Linux is proprietary?

    Shame on you.

  15. Re:when you want cheap Microsoft software on MS Has Free Software Removed From U.N. Paper · · Score: 1

    Well, that is kinda no suprise considering, but penultimately markets that have only a single solution, just stagnates, much like Adobes Photoshop & Illustrator, Microsofts Office, Discreets --now Autodesks-- 3D Studio Max to name a few.

    I live in a basement, not under a rock.

    I wince at the thought. The sick f*ck(s) deserves a pat on the back and a six-pack at least. Oh and a pay raise.

  24. Dell + AMD on Dell Finally Goes for AMD · · Score: 1

    So if Dell are going to be using AMD chips and stuff, does that mean each one of us geeks can get a girlfriend/boyfriend??????

    really, i'd like to know..

  25. Xbox on Prepping For The 360 · · Score: 1

    I actually purchased an original Xbox and thing died after 6 days.. can never forget the green & red flashing :( and the fact I never saved my game of halo. This was two years ago to the date conicidently.

    Anyway, with that in mind, and already owning a PS2 since the silver one was released on October 3rd 2003 --forget about the rootkit biz-- I am quite diappointed in all but two of Sony's products, minidisc being one and an old VCR. Sony always seem to be missing something and charge an extra 5% --give or take-- brand tax on anything that says "Sony".

    I purely do not like Microsoft I admit, but the Xbox when I had it was GOOD and I loved that menu system it had. This generation of games consoles M$ will have my £££ also very likely Nintendo will too have some of my £££.

    Either way, I am waiting atleast two years before buying another console.
