  1. Re:700 pounds -- goodbye safety standards! on Open Source Car — 20 Year Lease, Free Fuel For Life · · Score: 1

    You probably would have to license it as a motorcycle. But I could see it in the US.

  2. Re:Fixy Linky Please? :) on Sun Puts Data Center Through 6.7 Earthquake · · Score: 1
  3. Re:Videos will be disabled on Time Warner Recommends Internet For Some Shows · · Score: 1

    I just tried to go to noggin.com from my Internet connection, and I got the pop-up. I am not on a time wanner connection, I am on an Integra connection. It might not filter by carrier, or if it does it doesn't do it very well.

  4. Re:Bah.. it was the weather on Karl Rove's IT Guru Dies In Small Plane Crash · · Score: 1

    It has to be caused by all this global warming.

  5. Re:Cameras at every toll booth on California's Wireless Road Tolls Easily Hackable · · Score: 1

    All you need to do is find a way update the ID wireless. You then can update parking lots, and highways full of cars with them, and then they wouldn't know who is the one doing the copying.

  6. Re:think people on $399 Mac Clone Most Likely a Hoax · · Score: 1

    Is that why people stick the stickers that came with their ipod on their laptop?

  7. Re:Throttling on Comcast Blocks Web Browsing · · Score: 3, Informative

    I wish Fios was coming to my area any time soon, and DSL is not available. So unless I want to go with one of the wireless providers or dial-up Comcast is the only option.

  8. Re:Industry move on P2P Fans Pound Comcast In FCC Comments · · Score: 1

    Probably most do, I know of the people I work with more then half do.

  9. Re:Encryption on remotes? on Long Term Effects of Gizmodo CES Prank · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't say most TV's. This is only found on higher end TV's. I bet you there are a lot more of the WalMart $100 TV's then TV's with a serial port.

  10. Re:I really like this idea. on BUG - "The LEGO of Gadgets" · · Score: 1

    With a name like Bug Labs, they probably will have a lot of copyright issues. I think Micro$oft has that name copyrighted.

  11. Re:vcr timer recording? on Official DTV Converter Box Coupons for Americans · · Score: 1

    or you can get a new VCR with a digital tuner. That would be easyer then a IR blaster, setting alarms or any of the other fun stuff you have to go through with the separate boxes.

  12. Re:Software as a Service? Sort of... on OpenOffice Online Goes Beta · · Score: 1

    It doesn't look like it is the standard VNC ports, so they did do some setup. I did a netstat and it looks like it is over port 40001 (us-connectme2.ulteo.com:40001)

  13. Re:Microsoft will not bleed ink on Linux To Take Over The Low-End PC Market? · · Score: 1

    "All those people complaining about 'not being able to run their games' forget one thing: Computers were not designed to be game playing machines, they were designed as productivity tools. That the gaming market was able to flourish on the back of the roll out of the PC was a side effect, not the main cause." The Apple I and II, witch were the first personal computers, was designed to play games. The first programs for it was games (Breakout, etc) that came out long before productivity software for it was written.

  14. Re:Is this really needed? on Dell's World of Warcraft Laptop · · Score: 1

    The reason to "spend such a ludicrous sum of money on a laptop to play it with" is because I can. I don't need so spend half as much on computers as I do.

  15. Re:PDF works on PDF Is Now ISO 32000 · · Score: 1

    It is also important to not assume that something was not edited because you put it in PDF, Still read over those contracts when you get them back, as it is possible to edit PDF's.

    No, they will just take the Batteries out of dell laptops.

  17. Re:Contact the users on Storm Worm Strikes Back at Security Pros · · Score: 1

    I don't have root enabled, so I know that if any one attempts to log in as root, it isn't me. Therefore, I won't get baned if I type in the password in wrong once.

  18. Re:Contact the users on Storm Worm Strikes Back at Security Pros · · Score: 1

    I use Denyhosts (http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net) so they have a much lower chance of being lucky in guessing a login. After 1 bad attempt of root, or 5 of any other user, it locks out that IP, until I remove it.

  19. Re:Visio would be better on OpenOffice.org 3.0 Wants to Compete with Outlook · · Score: 1

    If all you want is a commercial Exchange replacement, I believe you would be better of with Postfix (http://www.postfix.com). There is no connectors required. And it interacts with other exchange servers, as an Exchange Server. It is a drop-in replacement, that runs on Linux.

    Yes they are FTA "We're in the process of reaching out by phone to these members to, so that if the information is valid somehow -- regardless how this fraudster acquired the information -- these members can take the steps they need to take to protect themselves." And it looks like the Credit Card Info May not be valid "The posts ALSO appeared to contain credit card information -- however, these credit cards are not associated with financial information on file for these users at eBay or PayPal.

    Yes you can run it in Windows XP, but it has a couple of problems, such as the mouse disappearing when you are over a document. Also it has no support for long file names (At least the version I run.)

    > First, word processing of 2000 compared to either Abiword or OOo is equivalent in all regards. I see no advantage to either, > except for the fact that both Abiword and OOo will still be supported long after 2000 is not.

    Except OOo Doesn't have some features like Grammar Check, you may have perfect grammar, but I like having a check. (I still use OOo Many times.)
