  1. Inhouse Win apps and .NET? on Why Consumer Macs Are Enterprise-Worthy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Mac supports neither. Why would corp. buy computer with limited to no use? Even new versions of Office for Mac won't support VBA and macros. And I didn't even mention how difficult is to support two platforms with one set of IT support personnel that is comfortable only with Windows.

  2. Re:Timeline 1997 on Microsoft Wanted To Drop Mac Office To Hurt Apple · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... hence the Steve Jobs middle nickname "Blow"

  3. Again journalists make story from nothing... on The Death Of CS In Education? · · Score: 1

    ... to make money for living. At Lockheed Martin information session they said they're hiring 800 CS graduates this year only.

  4. Just wondering... on At Least 25 Million Americans Pirate Movies · · Score: 1

    Did they include me?

  5. For those want pseudo legal code on One In Five Windows Installs Is Non-Genuine · · Score: 1

    Mod all my posts Interesting AND Funny, and I'll see that you get ehm... legal.

  6. Pixel on Researchers Developing Single-Pixel Camera · · Score: 1

    Sigle pixel on my laptop screen looks pretty small.. I'm not sure that I'll be able to enjoy my pr0n sessions as much with this camera.

  7. In other news.. on Sun Is Giving Away Solaris 10 DVDs · · Score: 1

    AOL exec works for SUN now.

  8. New name for bundle on Fedora Core and Fedora Extras To Merge · · Score: 1

    Fedora Joke

  9. Nobody cares on Mac OS X Versus Windows Vista · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    ...about OSX beside MAC fans and people doing reviews for living.

  10. Rogue **AA law-breakers on Details on San Francisco's Free Wifi · · Score: 1

    Buy WiFi card without giving out your identity and use SF free network to get even with **AA

  11. PowerDVD on HD-DVD and Blu-Ray AACS DRM Cracked · · Score: 1

    That particular copy/edition of PowerDVD is going to be very popular...

  12. Re:What about Intel? on The Battle for Wireless Network Drivers · · Score: 0, Troll

    I think there are still some binaries used in intel's driver. There's 'regulatory daemon' and 'firmware' for intel 3945ABG cards,and both are required for WiFi card to work. At least firmware is not open source.

    Putting everything as open source hurts companies, because competition gets free reverse engineered sample. And more and more of these devices relies on software side, not on the hardware. Why would they hurt themselves and release source code for minor market?

  13. Re:This might have something to do with on Red Hat Sales Surge · · Score: 1

    Yes, but RedHat haven't released new version in 2 yrs. Nothing beats that. By now so old kernel 2.6.9 should get in the way for many apps and hardware.

  14. Tomorrow's zero day exploit on Zero Day Exploit Found in Windows Media Player · · Score: 1

    in.... Linux

  15. Middle East on Solar Cell Achieves 40% Efficiency · · Score: 1

    good news for them... after oil is gone they'll still have couple aces in the sleeve.

  16. What about... on Corporate America Not Ready For Vista · · Score: 5, Funny

    Corporate Africa? Are they ready?

  17. Re:Surley we will not see Vista viruses for some t on Vista Hackers Get Busy · · Score: 1

    I don't think so. As almost all older apps work with Vista, so will the viruses. Except ones that target specific vulnerabilities in OS and Internet Explorer.

  18. Fedora for Enterprise? on Fedora Linux · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What a joke. FC6 on day of release had already 20MB of software updates. Day later - 100MB. So called great updater has to download whole RPM package for a minor update.

    I can't imagine anybody in large corporations wants to spend all their time and bandwidth propagating bleeding-edge software updates.

  19. Mark the astronaut is simply jealous on Mark Shuttleworth Tries To Lure OpenSUSE Devs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ..of SuSE. SuSE looks good, mature, polished, professional, industrial, etc. It is not secret that SuSE always looked darn good. Unlike some other distros. Strongly IMO the GNOME themes that come with SuSE are very polished and not lacking in any department, an evidence of professional work.

    Remember when Mr. Shuttleworth was calling for developers to improve the looks of Ubuntu? Well this is the same call. Let's get them when they are pissed. They got evident skills.

  20. Re:So in other words on GoogleOS Scenarios · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Only thing they ("analysts") understand is that unless they put out baseless claims frequently, they are out of job.

  21. Re:Upgrade on Vista's EULA Product Activation Worries · · Score: 2, Insightful

    On contrary, this is why I would never pay a penny for it.

    Seems that being a pirate there's really nothing to lose. In all other situations, you lose.

  22. Re:From what I've seen on Egypt Arrests More Bloggers · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Islam is the trouble. Please refrain from excuses.

  23. You have to live in order to... on Samba Team Urges Novell To Reconsider · · Score: 1

    fight tomorrow.

    It is wonder that Novell has survived this long without distinctive product, and with every other major IT business providing similar solutions. This deal allows Novell to live as company, and perhaps invest this cash into something for the future.

    Is Novell business to protect GPL for free, or to profit?

    Finally acquisition of SuSE paid off for them. Conspiracy theorists could claim that this was planned from start by Microsoft and Novell.

    I would too sell somebody else's property for hundred millions of dollars.

  24. nano wireless sensors? what is that on Wireless Sensors To Monitor Power Grids · · Score: 1

    Is battery nano too? There's no valuable information in the articles at all. As far I know, wireless sensors aren't that small, and battery makes them very bulky. If they are using some new technology, where's proof?

    Who's gonna change battery in nano device?

  25. The real ./ questions is on Antarctic Microbes Could Live on Mars · · Score: 1

    ...whether they can live on Linux?
