  1. Re:Don't just send them empty! on Spammer Gets Spammed · · Score: 1

    I worked for a place that did bulk emails with PP envelopes. One guy ticked that he couldn't get off the mailing list would fill the envelopes with old fishing weights and send back. We would have to pay for the excess postage per ounce.

  2. You become what you critize! on Making Linux Booting Pretty · · Score: 1

    You beome what you critize is what I was told all the time as a kid and it looks like that is what is going on with Linux. You bitch about Windows while you make Linux look like it.

    If the sceen would speed up boot then I'd say its a nice option (note option) to have. In Windows leaving the boot sceen up does speed booting some because it doesn't use cycles up outputing all the status messages.

    So if you're going to do it, please make this an option I can turn off.

  3. Re:Technically No, but.... on Can the BSA Investigate Your office for Piracy? · · Score: 1

    What I find is BS is if they are for real they should got for the throat when they find violators. I've worked for two companies that were audited, one very large other small. Both were treated the same way. First they warn you they want to do an audit. So everyone cleans up there machines in general. Then they do their audit and list the violations. Do the bust you, no they negociate a settlement. Both companies brokered a deal for buying x number of copies of software in violation and n dollars of fine. If we broke the law how come we still didn't have to buy enough licences for our business. I say its just another scam to make money.

  4. Vote to support Free Software on Should You Vote? · · Score: 1

    A Republican congressman came out last week and condemed the Clinton administration for seeking the breakup of Microsoft. On Yahoo yesterday an article with Bush talking along the same lines. People should vote if Free Software and Open Source are important to them.

  5. Re:Bladder Police on Cobalt Networks Could Sue Apple Over Cube Design · · Score: 1

    Exactly! Didn't the first Next Cube come in the late-80's. Cobalt needs a history lesson.

  6. Re:ASUS K7M + Athlon on Athlon Motherboards And Chipsets Under Linux · · Score: 1

    Ditto here... I have a K7M with a Athlon 750, 128MB RAM, RH 6.1 and it is a slick box. Toaster Tester
