  1. does he mean... on Brian Hook on the ActiveX Experience · · Score: 2, Informative

    Does he mean the settings low enough to actually use it on the internet?

    Why not just create a "zone" hopper, then he doesn't have to worry about your settings. Better yet, just use one of the existing ones.

    Dissemination of information in a manner that allows the person offering the ability to do so without going over bandwidth, too bad he put his site on /. :(

    A wonderful book, btw.
    Hope that when your site comes back up I can score that and some Thomas Paine, w00t!

  4. This begs a question.... on Boeing Eyes In-Flight Live TV on Your Laptop · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If I decide to sleep and with my laptop record the stream, be it live tv or movies, are they mine, will I be arrested for 'Stealing' copyrighted materials?

  5. add... on The Ten Worst Products of the Year · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In the MP3 section anything by RIO, with the amount of spyware they add to your machine and the inability to veiw the item as a usb drive makes these units mostly unusable.

    I find it funny, they guy gigs a mac product and the mac 'ButButs' are all out for a party. :)

  7. different things for different people on Mozilla 1.7.5 Released · · Score: 1

    Essentially there is a group of people out there, educators for example, that were still using netscape (4.x ) and the modern browsers did not appeal to them, now there is a viable option, since the release of Mozilla 1.2 many of them have been enjoying the same solid browser/email experience they always had. Some people like the marriage of the browser/email, it means they don't have to think/do alot.

    Different Strokes for Different Folks.

  8. Same thing here! on NYC's Educational Dark Fiber Network · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Monterey County CA, the maintenance guys were looking in some "unmarked" panels in the basement in the Salinas offices, and "found" about 200 strands of dark fiber. Apparently during the reign of one of the iterations of our local cable service (TCI/AT&T/Comcast, AT&T did it I know it :), they "knew" that fiber was the future and laid fiber all over the place, then they sold out to comcast without hooking any of it up.

    Montery started by connecting to schools and cities down the 101 highway, when MCOE lost antenna space for their educational television feed, they ran it down the fiber backbone, without causing any lag in any of the connections. So now places that were running 56k frame relays are now flying with 45mb to their router. They actually have a bigger connection than my isp :)

    I just need a small space, near the router, I will stand, I don't need a chair, I just want to FEEL the bandwidth, please?

    If IE is used on ANY Windows version, it does not matter the level of user security, with the IE api hooks into the kernel you can be a guest user and have a ton'o spyware installed for ALL the users to enjoy. You just won't be able to install anything to get rid of it... :)

  14. Re:WTF?!?! on EA Games: The Human Story · · Score: 1

    would that be a first or second degree titty twister?

    BTW - if you 'sub-contract' you work the hours you need to; i do consulting and the demand outweighs the amount of capable people thus creating a "busy as a one legged man in an ass kicking contest" syndrome, where valued customers require emergency work, I will work nights and weekends, but they WILL PAY!

    In the case of game programming as was previously stated, there are a number asses waiting for those cherished seats, and even if you're good, they will replace you in a heartbeat with 2 mediocre coders that will work endless hours for cheetos and jolt/bawls.

  19. Day Late and a dollar short... on Adobe Forming a Linux Strategy? · · Score: 1

    They have always been slow to updated their moneymaking software, they are slow on tech support. The only thing they are not slow on is price increases. Most of the shops that "need" them are going to use their products no matter the cost, but with the tools available scribus, the gimp, et al, I don't need their crap offending my linux boxen. I installed the TANK Acrobat Reader and was a) appalled at the size, and then it won't close properly. They should maintain their current status as an app that is used with wine.

    Believe everything you're told do you?
    Seems like it would be a Darwin/Survival of the fittest,(those who actually investigated said fire).

    I understand your point,(fire-theater), but it has been allowed to be abused. To the point where we now have "Free Speech Zones" within which you may speak your mind, but do not step outside it and spread your heresy.

    This too will be abused. They will make it so the "other" candidates, (you know, those who "can't" win), will be prevented from creating sites. Are they going to stop off country sites from hosting political sites favoring candidates? Probably not.
    It will be fun watching though :)

    using these new fangled technologies to get a leg up on the only parties that have a chance at getting elected.

    Dean, the Libertarians and the Green Party have cut a large path on the internet, finding a lot of the younger audience. It may be possible that soon we will actually have a choice in our elections, instead of choosing between dumb and dumber.

    To keep that from happening, they have to control this menace. :P

    Nader now has proven himself to be the Washington insider he always has been. By not getting on the ballot in enough states to win, he proves he is doing to take votes.
