  1. Re:Copy on Linux Annoyances For Geeks · · Score: -1, Troll

    >Nothing wrong with copy & paste. My system has three different ways to do it. ... all incompatible

    You must be a Windows user.

  2. Re:Didn't RTFA on Peter Moore Talks PS3, Wii, Portable 360 · · Score: 0

    All I needed to read was the first three words "Microsoft's Peter Moore". I can infer what the rest of the article says.

  3. Re:Maybe Not So Fair? on Vista Beta 2 has Major Problems · · Score: 0
    You don't have to do a scavenger hunt on Linux. If there's a driver available, it's included in the kernel or in the distribution.

    It wasn't always like. I remember installing my first version of Redhat (version 4 something). It took me a month of debugging interrupt conflicts to get the CD drive to work. Thank God we're way beyond that.

  4. Forget it on Microsoft Offers Phone Support For IE 7 · · Score: 0

    The only numbers at Microsoft that they actually answer are the sales and piracy hot lines.

    Yep, I know how it is from experience. That's when I started hating lawyers.

    And thats mainly because transfering files from windows pc's is retarded.. you will see about 50% of the files the rest is just not there.

    Ok, you convinced me. Windows is great, Macs are crap.

  7. He a freakin lawyer? on Former BSA VP Confirmed as Tech Undersecretary · · Score: 1, Informative

    In addition to his role at the BSA, Cresanti is a former senior vice president and general counsel for the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA), as well as a former staff director of the Senate Special Committee on the Year 2000 Technology Problem, FCW reports.

  8. Re:do they care? on Climate Researchers Feeling Heat From White House · · Score: 0
    It doesn't appear that US citizens even care about global warming. Maybe work on this first, or is the Federal goverment responsible for public morals?

    Actually it's Republicans who don't care. Democrats do care.

  10. Re:Nokia 770 on Microsoft Origami Unfolds · · Score: 1, Insightful
    The biggest problem for me is the 770 doesn't have the storage to say, watch a video. It's completely for internet use, which limits it's usefulness for me. iPod videos and PDA screens are just too small for video. This could be a good fit for that.

    What you want is a laptop. The 770 on the other hand is perfect for browsing your email at your local coffee shop.

    Yes it does.. but this one is gonna run Windows.. so its gotta be better!

    That was meant to be funny, wasn't it?

  12. Who cares on AOL Won't Budge on Email Tax · · Score: 0

    Isn't AOL quickly becoming irrelevant anyway? It seems like I rarely see an aol email address anymore.

  13. Pianos on Japan to Discourage Sale of Old Electronics · · Score: 0

    I heard for years that it's also illegal to sell used pianos in Japan. I think that a lot of used pianos are shipped from Japan to the US to be sold.

  14. This is old news on Segway Inventor Turns To Environment · · Score: 0

    Years ago, long before the Segway, I saw a TV show about Kamen where he touted his water purification system. Are they still trying to perfect it? How long does it take to produce it?

  15. Re:Google earth?? on Google Windows Apps Coming To Linux · · Score: 0

    Personally I'm thrilled to see Picasa on Linux. I'm mostly a Linux user but I love Picasa and this will be one less reason to run Windows.

  16. Re:FINALLY! on GnuCash 1.9.0 Released · · Score: 0

    Why would anyone stick with Quicken if there's an open source alternative? I got tired of the calls and emails from Quicken asking me to upgrade every year or two to get features I've never used. Besides, I would rather have something that runs on Linux. Running Quicken on Linux with wine just wasn't good enough.

    Now, the only reason for me to ever run Windows is to use TurboTax or TaxCut.

  17. Re:Nice. on US Missile Shield already Defeated? · · Score: 0
    The missile system is designed to protect the US against rogue states that might like to buy their missiles...if we don't pay up our protection money.

    You mean rogue states like New Jersey?

    > Also, will having left here after a year seem like a real black > mark on my resume?

    No.

    It depends on how many other jobs he has left after one year. I interviewed a guy once that had held a dozen jobs in ten years. I was convinced that he was just trying to up his salary or find a quick way to get ahead. Of course, I passed on hiring him.

  19. What powers it? on Warp Engines In Development? · · Score: 0

    Even if this idea with the intense magnetic field worked, how would they power such a thing? It would probably require a massive nuclear generator on board.

  20. Re:KISS on Wisconsin Requires Open Source, Verifiable Voting · · Score: 0

    In addition to the paper ballot or receipt, a listing of all votes cast in a precient should be available after the polls close for the voters to verify that their voters were recorded properly. Of course, the paper receipt would have a randomly generated ID number which the voter to use to look up and verify their recorded votes against.

    Maybe eventually we'll have a fair election. The last two were complete farces.

  21. Re:Digital Photo Frame on A CES Preview: CES Unveiled · · Score: 0

    An even more important question is does it run Linux and can it be hacked to host a website.
