    Sorry, HD-DVD drive. woops.

  2. Minux the HD Drive too on Xbox 360 for $300 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't forget that you will need to upgrade later to get the HD drive and higher def games.

    Take my love, take my land
    Take me where I cannot stand
    I don't care, I'm still free
    You can't take the sky from me
    Take me out to the black
    Tell them I ain't comin' back
    Burn the land and boil the sea
    You can't take the sky from me
    There's no place I can be
    Since I found Serenity
    But you can't take the sky from me...

  7. Re:Arghh on Leo Laporte On UNIX As the Future · · Score: 1

    But computers change much faster than bicycles do. And cmoputers rely on software and not just hardware. In a bicycle, the frame and wheels are like the hardware of the computer. While the gears and the chain is the software of a computer. You can change the gears, which some people in the Tour de France were not just changing gears but using a new oval sprocket that the peddles connect too (suppose to help the rider start the peddle downwards when the foot reaches the top of the stride), to change how the bike works. Change the computers code, change how it works.

    Like any mother would, scream, "Get down here this instant Shuttle NASA Discovery!" Note, use of the middle name, looks like someone did something wrong.

    So, if everyone ran Linux, or used Macs. We would save the same amount because "Hey, were all the same so were compatible!", plus what it costs us every time there is a virus running loose, cost of spyware, etc...... Your point is not a good one.

  11. Re:Blatant Example of Microsoft Monopoly on Annual Cost of Microsoft Monopoly: $10 Billion · · Score: 1

    Well, if you can find the figures for how many computers Dell sold last year (or projection for this year), multiply that $20 by how many they sold. Then find out how many PCs every other company has sold, do the math. Comes out to be quite a bit I believe.

  12. Re:Dropping... on Annual Cost of Microsoft Monopoly: $10 Billion · · Score: 1

    Which has also been MS's downfall, badly written drivers since Windows must support every piece of hardware there is. Where as OS X only needs so many drivers, and Apple helps maintain them so they don't cause problems.

  13. So.... on Microsoft To Begin Checking For Piracy · · Score: 1

    If I'm running their Windows Server Update Service, does it check to see that all the computers on my network are in compliance. Since it is just one server that gets the updates and distributes the updates to the computers that need them.

  14. Re:Complaints! on Shuttle Discovery Lifts Off · · Score: 1

    I saw it on CNN I think. A bunch of people here at work watched it from t-1:30 until the commercial break. Which the commercial was the Windows self help guy, with his CDs to help you learn how to use Windows. At which point everyone walked away and went back to work. The obital saparation from the fual tank was spectacular though. Never had shots like that before, so it was a very nice first.

  16. XOsoft.com on Online Backup Solutions? · · Score: 1

    They have some nice tools you might want to look into. The company I work for uses WanSyncHA for Exchange, and so far the clients have not noticed that the main Exchange server has had a drive blink out a few times. At which point I take the server down to swap the drive out, everyone just went about their business on the secondary Exchange server. Then when I was ready, brought the main one back up, and failed it back over to the main server. All done. www.xosoft.com They have stuff for replicating between two sites so if one gets knocked off, the other keeps serving up what you need.

  17. Re:MS Business Plan on Computer Demand Boosts MS Profits · · Score: 2

    Better list:
    1. Design operating system with poor security.
    2. Lock all PC makers into shipping Windows.
    3. People throw away computers with malware and buy another one that still runs Windows.
    4. Profit!!!

    5. Rince and Repeat

    Just imagine if Apple did open up OSX to the PC side. How quickly this plan would put them into debt, but its the #2 that keeps them going.

  19. Re:It's not the VOIP providers.. on New Study Finds VOIP is Getting Better · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but they are building into the network that VoIP gets priority over all other data connections, right. So, quality should become as high as anyone can make it without giving a dedicated line for the phones, which is basically what we have now.

  20. Re:Downtime on New Study Finds VOIP is Getting Better · · Score: 1

    Wrong math. I think its more like out of 100 calls you make, 5 would get dropped. Since you can really be on the phone every second of the day.

    And if my math is right, 99.999% would be 1 in every 100,000 calls would get dropped. So yeah, it is very bad service.

  25. Re:More Secure? on Full Debian ARM for Under $200 · · Score: 1

    No. Because its still Debian, just a different architecture. So if there is a flaw in the x86 version of Samba that Debian is using, then that flaw will most likely be in the ARM version too. As well as all the other architectures that Debian supports.
