  1. Lycos is still around? on Lycos Deletes Emails and Says 'Too Bad!' · · Score: 1

    I thought they went the way of web rings and personal homepages.

    Hello? 1998 called. They want their portal back.

  2. I thought North Korea was the bad one of the two on Why South Korea Is Shackled To Windows · · Score: 1

    Perhaps some super-informed /.er can let us know if Mr. Jong II allows the use of Firefox and SSL for banking transactions in his country.

    Like my home state: Nevada.

  4. Re:um... on Sun Is Giving Away Solaris 10 DVDs · · Score: 2, Funny

    I want to know why they are only giving out 10 DVDs. If their software is popular, they will need to give out thousands - not 10. Someone messed up in their PR dept.

    Agreed. I think email should be plaintext only. If you want people to look at your fancy web pages, send them a link in a plaintext email.

  7. Re:In one word... on Man's Vote for Himself Missing In E-Vote Count · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter who you vote for. Either way taxes will go up and your civil rights will be diminished. Another "Lewinsky" style scandal that eats up all of the govmt's processing time would be the best thing to happen to the US-of-A in 6 years

  8. Re:My prediction on CCP and White Wolf Games To Merge · · Score: 1

    EVE has been going downhill since Tuxford took control of the Nerf stick. His latest changes to the game suck. This is merger is a waste of time and only delays the inevitable...

  9. Re:Nothing will change on Democrat Win May Be Good News For Internet Policy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hopefully, we will have political gridlock. Dub'ya won't be allowed to run unchecked any longer. I was no Clinton fan, but I would be glad to see life return to the way it was back in 1996-2000. Those were very prosperous times for all of us.

    Demo's controlled the president and Repub's controlled the House and Senate = gridlock. The Lewinsky affair took up all of the government's processing power, allowing the economy to flourish. Now that the Demo's control congress, we will probably see some charges brought against Bush (you know Iraq, etc...) They won't have time to pass economy hindering regulations!

    Sounds intentional to me. Very good analogy.

  12. Re:Improved animations on What's Different About Vista's GUI? · · Score: 1

    Hmm... do you mean one client to multiple servers (already works) or one server to multiple clients (business decision to limit to server OS.)?

    I am referring the the business decision to limit the number of incoming remote desktop connections. It would be great if Microsoft would make an exception to this rule for the Ultimate Edition (since Ultimate seems to be geared towards techies who would greatly appreciate it).

  13. Re:stay tuned, I'm waiting for my new mini on Pros and Cons of Switching From Windows To Mac · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Religion is for the unwashed, ignorant, masses, as is Microsft Windows. A year ago, I switched from XP Pro to Debian and haven't looked back.

  15. Re:Improved animations on What's Different About Vista's GUI? · · Score: 1

    Nope, Windows Vista is more difficult than XP. Yes I do run as an administrator, most Windows programs require it. Thanks for your input.

  16. Re:Improved animations on What's Different About Vista's GUI? · · Score: 4, Informative

    When compared to XP's UI, Vista is way too difficult. They have changed the behavior of common icons (e.g. the network system tray icon does not have a "right-click properties" method of accessing the connection settings). Also, there is no more Start -> Run option. They have replaced it with Start -> "Search". This appears to offer the same functionality as "Run", but does not seem intuitive.

    Another item I was hoping for: multiple concurrent Remote Desktop sessions. I know Microsoft will never do it, but they really should allow Vista "Ultimate" Edition to support the same Remote Desktop model as their server software (one console and two remote sessions simultaneously).

    Turn in your geek membership card. The film is that good. The machine that rebuilds bodies and the taxi chase scene kick ass.

    Awesome, fom now on, I want all of my relative comparasions in AOL CDs. No more Libraries of Congress (i.e. this houses's square footage = n AOL CDs, or this Toyata Yaris burns n AOL CDs per kilometer)

  21. Re:Other way around? on New Kind of Spam 'Un-Training' Filters? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I have started seeing a rise in SPAM getting through GMail's filter featuring Arabic-looking characters. I wonder if this type of spam white-noise is designed to overwhelm the governemt's email spying programs.

    NOTE: I attempted to cut and paste an example of the characters. But when I went to preview my message, they were cut-out.
