  2. Re:Yes, I received the same notice. on Netflix To Eliminate Profiles Feature · · Score: 1

    I use he same plan. 3 at a time unlimted. 2 for me, 1 for my wife. Keeping one account at 3 at a time with my tastes and my wife's i would be a mess. Switching to two accounts costs more.

    Not thrilled

  5. Re:What are Aquantive's domains? on Microsoft Buys Ad Firm for $6 Billion · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sorta suprised you would need to block an advertising firm just because MS bought them. Would think most ad firms would already be blocked as a matter of course

  9. Re:Post Sale Restrictions on Mac OS X Cracked For PCs Again · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So you buy your copy of OS/X and take it home and open the box and suddenly find out that you need to buy a Mac to go with it?

  10. Re:As the world changes... on Why Johnny Can't Code · · Score: 1

    A little bit of both, actually. The imprvment in tools has lead to some stuff that used to be hard being a lot easier, and with that the emphasis has shifted more from pre coding into business analysis of the problem space rather than tthe nuts and bolts of the implementation.

  11. As the world changes... on Why Johnny Can't Code · · Score: 3, Interesting

    As coding goes from being an elite craft that few can do into a blue color job that few bother to want to do

    As hand made articles become assembly-line products

    we wonder why the world has changed and our tools with it

    Take a look at the average newspaper or magazine

    No, the wealthy just have more resources and advisors to build walls of plausible deniability as to make prosecution very hard.

    If you wanted to use wxPython, why would you be using .net anyway?

  19. Re:Will it work on Linux/Mac? on Microsoft's 'Naughty or Nice' Patent Application · · Score: 3, Insightful


    What happens if a lot of Linux/Mac users give Microsoft a bad rating.


    I don't think enough Linux and Mac users could give enough bad rating to MS for it to matter

  20. Easier ways to do it on Defeating Google's Perpetual Search Logging · · Score: 1

    Or if you're using FireFox you could just put google.com in the list of Exceptions for Cookies...or just delete the Cookies google sets or... ...what's the point of this?

  23. Re:The real reason it's not a threat on Microsoft Says Firefox Not a Threat to IE · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you drive your car into a tree because you don't know how to steer, you are dumb

    If your car comes to a halt because you don't know to put gas in it, you are dumb.

    If you cause a lot of damage to your car because you burn it out because you never replace the oil, you are dumb.

    There is a certain minimal skill and intelligence level required to simply drive and maintain a car safely. Most people have it.

  24. Re:Isn't it the least used? on Study Recommends Mac OS X as Safest OS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Windows and Unix come from completely different histories and completly different design philosophies with different views on multiuser systems, networking, etc..

    I don't think it's possibe to really say that Unx (or Linux or OS/X) would be just as vulnerable as Windows if they had more users and were therefore bigger targets.

  25. Re:Do NOT vote for them on Third-Party and Independent Ballot Status · · Score: 1

    some studies indicate that many of the people who vote third-party wouldn't have voted otherwise. (Sorry I can't point to a web site to back this up). We should never punish Americans who vote their conscience, who aren't willing to settle for the "lesser of two evils" when a good may exist

    Like me.

    I'm a fiscal conservative who won't vote for Kerry and can't bring myself to vote for Bush. I'm voting Constitution Party this year, but if not for t hat I wouldn't vote at all
