  1. Re:Cashing the GNU on Why Microsoft Cozied up to Open Source at OSCON · · Score: 1

    Isnt that what Billo did the first time around to make his M$ fortune. Sell a crappy version of an existing product. This is not new, anybody who has followed M$ knows exactly what Ball mer is trying to do.

  2. Information Rights Management on How Do You Deal With Sensitive Data? · · Score: 1

    You could use products like Authentica to manage sensitive information.

  3. Sage on Modern LaTeX Replacement? · · Score: 1

    Well we used Mathematica for the formulas. But Doesnt sage help with the mathematical formulas which can be then exported to Latex.

  4. Not the same people playing agmes on Have Modern Gamers Lost the Patience For Puzzles? · · Score: 1

    I guess the IQ level in Gamers has fallen. Or the IQ level in Game makers has fallen and they forgot how to create interesting Puzzles....

    Cool I have a Dell Poweredge 1950. Yipee, Now only if I could gather all the other information needed to set this thing up....

  6. Re:Here we Go.... on What Gore Didn't Say About Solar Cells · · Score: 1

    Evidence..... have you not seen An IN-convenient Truth...the melting glaciers should be proof enough... Accept Gore's claim or they might award him the Nobel prize again.....

  8. Should have chosen Apache products on Alfresco-Adobe Pact Continues To Strengthen Open Source · · Score: 1

    Adobe should have gone with Lenya. It seems that Apache is making huge strides towards Content Management with Lenya, Jackrabbit and Sling.

  9. Re:Bad air... on The World's 10 Dirtiest Cities · · Score: 2, Informative

    They are getting polluted for you. Bcoz of stricter pollution control in the US. China is getting polluted bcoz it is the manufacturing hun for all things bought in the US. How deep are US pockets, looks like you have not noticed the hole Dubya has created. Besides the UN is run by Washington Bureacrats, so your ire should be pointed towards them.

  10. Re:Then STOP releasing the product! on Bill Gates Chews Out Microsoft · · Score: 1

    "He's not a stupid guy that way," He is a billionaire and did not inherit his riches, definitely not stupid, he is a lot smarter than he is given credit for. A lot of the smarter folks wished they had his kind of money, I wonder whether Bill ever wishes he had their kind of smartness. Ethics that may be questionable. But then again the stock holders never complained.

  11. Can dissertations really be outsorced on IT Students Contract Out Coursework To India · · Score: 1

    I can understand how students can get code written by someone from India. But dissertations, Are these dissertations made to professors from "University of Phoenix". If out sourced work can generate dissertations, how come the people who write these dissertations for £5, do not publish their own work. If professors cannot differentiate between dissertations that undermines their credibility. If you are outsourcing the code that you need to write that means the person is just lazy, how much time does it take to type something into google, and find your answer, thousands of Indians that provide code do it exactly that way.

  12. Risk of offending on Homer Becomes Omar · · Score: 1

    "But in order not to risk offending an Arab audience" If one wants to avoid the risk of offending Arab audiences then the best step is to let them watch their camel cartoons. The simpsons are not their cup of tea or should i say glass of camel milk. if Homer is omar...what do you call Ned and will they show the reverend or some mullah. Whatd be really cool is South Park for the arabs with Cartman screaming obsenities in Arabic...

  13. Re:I'm kinda shocked... on Intel Dual Core Xeon Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    Well why is it that people are shocked... its a common phenomenon..once you have vendor lock in what purpose does one have to actually spend on R&D. In Intels case it does not matter that they are actually lagging behind..they know it will take a long time for AMD to come anywhere close to put a serious dent in their profits. It s like MS, they maay be better products than some of theirs but for the innocent many, the technologically challenged, brand matters more than anything else, and intel aldready has that...heck I have a hard time getting my friends who were in school (VLSI majors) with me to buy AMD. so we can only hope that AMD gains more popularity faster

  14. Re:What's changed? on 20th Anniversary of Windows · · Score: 1

    well for one now it is the most talked about and OS. also yeah it is among the leading OS's in the most hated category. The dropout that marketed it has turned to be the richest man... So windows did change a few things. and windows has changed earlier it crashed every time I blinked, now it crashes only when I turn around...maybe in another 20 years it will get better. So am waiting for windows 2025.

  15. Re:AMD has nothing to lose... on AMD Takes Case To Public, Japan · · Score: 1

    They waited till they had a better product than Intel... now they dont look like a bunch of whiny babies...their products have been superior for a while now and still Intel has manged to hold OEMs against supporting AMD chips...
