  1. Re:New business model on eBay Seller Sues Autodesk for $10 Million · · Score: 1

  2. Re:This DOES make a bit of sense on Microsoft Installs New Software Without Permission · · Score: 1

    I am thinking that MS botched the last (before this one) windows update engine rollout and had to do this to restore normal function to Windows update. I have seen many posts on forums about windows update not working last month. We will never know for sure. From the Article "Windows Update Software 7.0.6000.381 is an update to Windows Update itself. It is an update for both Windows XP and Windows Vista. Unless the update is installed, Windows Update won't work, at least in terms of searching for further updates. Normal use of Windows Update, in other words, is blocked until this update is installed."

  3. Easy Fix for this. on Microsoft Installs New Software Without Permission · · Score: 1

    Disable BITS and Windows Update in Services. Turn them on when you want to update. Turn them back off when done. Remember to reboot when disabling them.

  4. Linux OMG on Retailer Refuses Hardware Repair Due To Linux · · Score: 1

    And I thought Windows BSOD's were bad for hardware!!!!I have always heard Linux is Powerful software, now it has been prov-en. I believe what they are trying to tell you is, their hardware is not strong enough to contain a Powerful software like Linux, quick revert it back to Windows before it explodes, or was that the batteries doing that....

  5. This is where he should have put them on Police Busted When Tracking Device Found On Car · · Score: 1

    He should have put them in Steve Fossett's plane. I know a bit tacky. I could not resist temptation.

  6. I don't know about you but.. on House Passes Patent Overhaul Bill · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think us little guys just got screwed. "supported by several large tech vendors including Microsoft Corp. and IBM Corp" Nevermind, we have always been screwed. ;-)

  7. Re:No flight Plan? Doh! on Steve Fossett Missing · · Score: 1

    Like I said, "think outside the box" and file a non-FAA flight plan with your loved ones, man you are thick today.

  8. Re:No flight Plan? Doh! on Steve Fossett Missing · · Score: 1

    If your that stupid.........nevermind. So you have to use the FAA flightplan form?? Or you can be intelligent enough to make one for your loved ones. See that is the problem with Pilots, they rarely think outside the box, like you. 99.9% of plane crashes are Pilot Error, wonder why that is?

  9. Re:No flight Plan? Doh! on Steve Fossett Missing · · Score: 1

    "There were plenty of people that knew where he was going" Your nuts, they don't even know where to begin the search, they are guessing. He was scouting for a new dry lake bed to use, and that Desert is full of them in all directions, "knew where he was going"? Too bad that was not you that got lost, I bet nobody would be looking.

  10. Re:No flight Plan? Doh! on Steve Fossett Missing · · Score: 1

    Driving to work is a repetitive task and requires you to stay on the pavement most of the time, and yes anyone I love knows my route or where I am going. Flying an airplane on the other had is not a repetitive task unless you work for an Airline. I NEVER said anything about a flight plan increasing the safety of a flight,I bet the people who love him wish he had filed one. I would never get on an airplane you are piloting by the way.

  11. No flight Plan? Doh! on Steve Fossett Missing · · Score: 1

    No so smart after all. This is a big No No for any pilot. I think he is moving yellow cake for the NSA.

  17. Re:I call bullshit. on US Government Checking Up On Vista Users? · · Score: 1

    1. They have a beta version of PG2 for Vista, running it right now. Maybe he is using ICS through a XP box. 2. I agree using PG2 to support a theory is silly, I get the same results, but I have to visit a Government website first, like whitehouse.gov, then I get all these requests blocked by PG, even after IE is closed, and continues for some time. 3. Agree

  18. I'm Glad on FBI Used Spyware for Online Search · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    They nailed that little terrorist bitch.

  19. They are such Retards. on Microsoft Patents Process To "Unpirate" Music · · Score: 1

    They should have embraced this Idea way back when Napster was first started, don't fight it, but instead, "Make it Pay" Boy are they slow on the uptake. If the Music industry dies as we know it, it will be due to their own greed and stupidity. It is a cartel anyway, no big loss if it does.

    "I have nothing to Hide, but Everything to Protect"

  21. Re:Please retaliate. on Music Industry Attacks Free Prince CD · · Score: 1

    "but I'm inclined to buy a CD just to support him" Actually this would be supporting the industry that is trying to stop the Free CD.
