  1. Actual Email From My Dad on What Should People Understand About Computers? · · Score: 1

    Hi Dwayne,

    Hope you're having a great day. I tried to put pictures into a folder
    and ended up with a screen full of icons on the "desktop".

    So, please call this evening before '24' and get me cleaned up.

    Thanks, Dad

    He does not need to know what an internet is... he needs simple exercises with moving files. Getting them comfortable with moving files and how to open programs/etc.

    I saw it last night during 24... good stuff. If anyone finds a link or a torrent, please post.

  3. Re:Poor Man RAID Array on Home Network Data Storage Device · · Score: 1

    I think it was:

    xcopy c:\*.* d: /s

    else you would only get your autoexec

    If I had mod points... you would get 'em. I am such a person (want WINE to work with games and accounting software prior to switching.)

    Where can I sign up... If it means less spam, I am all for it.

    Good thing the DHS is giving them a grant

  8. Re:Slashdot: any anti-ID article is auto-approved! on Scientists Figure Out How Bees Fly · · Score: 1

    Don't worry... these aren't real scientist. They are the Bigots. The real scientist (id'rs and not) will continue to do good research and discover fascinating things about our World with the end result of bettering our lives as a species. The fanatics (few as they may be, and on both sides) will continue to rant and /. will continue to post their articles.

  9. Re:decidedly unscientific on Scientists Figure Out How Bees Fly · · Score: 1

    It would have to be disproven... this is not possible.

  10. Re:Why this is important on Scientists Figure Out How Bees Fly · · Score: 1

    A agree wholeheartedly... as do most believers I know. The conspiricy theorists are VERY onesidded on this... and it ain't ours.

    "The bees flight dynamics are so complex that only a creator could have designed it."


    Exactly.
  12. Re:Who cares about ID? on Scientists Figure Out How Bees Fly · · Score: 1

    that is because these scientist's thesis always end in " ... which refutes ID."

    "To prove the earth is round... which refutes ID."
    "To prove the sky is blue... which refutes ID."
    "To prove my crap is brown... which refutes ID."

    It is a very un-scientific obsession.

  13. Nothing to do with ID... on Scientists Figure Out How Bees Fly · · Score: 1

    OK... so there are people who site science as not being able to explain everything. Duh. That is obvious. We are still learning. The fact is ID is NOT BASED ON THIS.

    Whether science is able to understand how everything in the universe works TODAY, they have still not undermined true ID theory. They have only explained how $diety did what He/She/It did. Origins of the earth have nothing to do with figuring out how Bees fly, but of course to those wanting everything to be a fight against Christianity, I suppose it does.

  14. Re:Next book is coming soon... on Landing the Internship or Full-Time Job · · Score: 1

    That's just a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.

    What a rip off. It is ashame noone can have an original idea anymore.

  16. Re:threat to MSFT on Microsoft Sees IBM as Biggest Threat · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Do you really think Dell is paying the $80 for a home license... no. There is very little price power in the MS license. The only thing that will make home users drop MS, is when they stop using it at work.

  17. With Justin Timberlake there... on Microsoft Unveils 'Urge' Music Service · · Score: 1

    ... lets hope Bill does not have a "wardrobe malfunction".

  18. Re:Why go with Walmart? on Google PC to Hit Walmart? · · Score: 1

    WHAT!!! You missed the memo. Walmart is the King of distribution. If you want your product in reach of 98% americans using only 1 retailer... Walmart is it. Think Garth Brooks. Is he going into Bankruptcy?

  19. 24 on Time Names Battlestar Galactica Show Of The Year · · Score: 1

    24 should be there. It is a great show. (Does Fox count as a big network?)

  20. Re:what about pricewatch on Pricegrabber Purchased for $485M · · Score: 1

    Although I use Pricewatch all the time, I am not sure why it does not have the popularity that pricegrabber got. Perhaps it is the annoying ads that pricegrabber gives. People need to think they are on a flash exciting page. Besides up till a few years ago, pricewatch was lacking in the eyecandy realm. It was pretty ugly.

  21. Re:There are two different VOIP markets... on Yahoo! Joins VoIP Throng · · Score: 1

    Great post. This is the key. I have Lingo (which SUX btw), but at least I do nto have to sit in front of my PC to make/receive calls. If someone made an adaptor that would use a modem port to talk to the phone and basically function as a VoIP PBX they would be king.

  22. Other OSs is the Key on Yahoo! Joins VoIP Throng · · Score: 1

    Think about it. The person who supports more OSs then MS, gets the tech croud. The tech croud is the one telling the not-so-technical people what to use. The "shakeout" will come as soon as someone releases a good cross platform client. Simple as that.

  23. FREEDOM! on Flushing the Net Down the Tubes · · Score: 1

    We are not starved of it... we are addicted to it. We really like it. We think that freedom and the free flow of information is a pretty good thing. Quite frankly, we are curious why others like their dictatorships and cencorship. Here's a secret, they DON'T! They just get shot if they say so. Are you a communist?

  24. Re:Uh, hasn't it been out since August? on Google Desktop 2 Live · · Score: 1

    Yes, It is called 20% time. They can do anything they want, no questions asked as long as it "betters the company". Companies like google will take over the world, and the should with that type of attitude.

    They will... It is a class action law suit. Apple will settle for say 5 mill. Liers will take 1/2 of that. the other 2.5 mill will go to the 2.5 million people who joined the suit. When it is over, they should be able to by a pen, or a pack of gum or something.
