  1. Re:Not worth reporting. on NBC Direct Launches With Free Downloads · · Score: 1

    Not insightful in anyway, works fine in firefox on XP for me, I have read reports that it also works on mac's as well with safari. I also read that global warming is caused by the environment and not us humans.

  2. Maybe %20 faster on Intel's Conroe Previewed and Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    But it will probably cost at least %50 more.

  3. What about the mythical TOE and RDMA on Why Does Current Clustering Require Recoding? · · Score: 1

    I have been hearing about TOE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_Offload_Engine and RDMA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Direct_Memory_ Access for over a year now both of these would help with clustering of remote servers and there CPU's

  5. Doh! on Bank E-Communications Aid During London Bombings · · Score: 1

    You mean the people that have the money actualy talk to each other securely?

  6. Great Idea on Internet Movies Before DVD · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Now sell it for half the price of a regular DVD and I would probably buy more movies.

  7. Profit? on Massively Multiplayer Sweat Shops · · Score: 1

    [troll]who or why would anybody spend cash on something so intangible as online gaming "goods"? [/troll] 1. Cheap chinese/asian labor 2. Profit Same as always

  8. Slickdeals on Shopping Online · · Score: 1

    slickdeals.net some cross posting from fatwallet and you have to read the forums to find anything also has a find me a deal forum

  9. Get a mobile phone/pda that runs linux on Linux-to-Palm Integration? · · Score: 1

    Just my opinion, I have been looking for something that does both well.

  10. Well finally on Microsoft To Add A Black Box To Windows · · Score: 1
    They admit what they are doing.

    I know for sure that the temp internet folders hold onto much of the information as to where you have on the net even after you "clear files" in IE.

  11. Yahoo news link to story on Gamer Slain Over Virtual Property Dispute · · Score: 4, Informative
  12. No P2P here on Has P2P Influenced Your Music Tastes? · · Score: 1

    Unless I have to, then it is only in a virtual machine set to undoable. Most of the time it is good old NNTP for me even better now that September is finally over

  13. Re:bottom line TCO on TiVo vs Microsoft vs HDTV Cable · · Score: 1

    I agree with this cost comparison. I have a total of 3 tivo's 1 series one and 2 series two's I have lifetime for 2 of the units(was $199 way back when) and only pay $6.95 a month for my other one. The tivo2go functionality needs work and they really need to get the HDTV support on all of thier models now, and make it cheaper. MCE is nice to use, but you need a full blown PC lot's of disk space and Windows to use it. There is more functionality and the picture viewing and music listening is much better to use than on the tivo. Hopefully Tivo can get back on top and not be pushed around by microsoft and the cable companys

  14. around and around in on Next Generation Xbox To Be Called Xbox 360? · · Score: 1

    Circles like always

  15. Redhat Linux on 13 New Windows Security Vunerabilities · · Score: 1

    How is this different/more important or whatever than redhat over 100 errata updates in 1 month. It is very hard to justify using redhat to management when you constantly have to apply patches. I will admit windows is no better and they probably should have several hundred a month but how can one say redhat is any better???

  16. Re:Friday? WTH on UPN Officially Cancels 'Star Trek: Enterprise' · · Score: 1

    Does that number include all of the people that "tivo" the show, I have not watched it since it was on Wed night. Now I watch it when I want to. But seriously, what show does do good in the ratings on a fri/sat night?

  17. Re:I, for one... on First Artificial Aurora May Lead to Night Sky Ads · · Score: 1

    I'll hold him down, you kick'em

  18. Duh on Could Your Blackberry Be Damaging Your Thumbs? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Doing something over and over again is almost always not good for you.
    There are a few exceptions though...

  19. Obligatory on Will Mac mini Lead the Charge to Smaller Desktops? · · Score: 1

    Help me find out, get me a....

  20. That would really suck on XM and Sirius Merger? · · Score: 1

    It would be worse than say, oh HP and Compaq merging. Less competition is a very bad thing

  21. Re:Pist Frost on Price Drops For Mac mini Upgrades · · Score: 1

    Get one from here free as well. I new some one would post it before me

  22. Self Management on Geeks in Management? · · Score: 0

    Always works for me. But then again I only manage myself and others believe I manage other people.

  23. Murphy's Law on The Forgotten Huygens Experiment · · Score: 1

    At it's best. Now can he be sued for not completing his work?

  24. Surprised? on Big Money Comes Out for the Inauguration · · Score: 1

    Why would I be. Is this not the norm for things like this?

  25. No testing? on What Do You Do When Outsourcing Goes Bad? · · Score: 1

    only thing left was a small bug fix, and an install script which needed to be completed. As agreed, he delivered the install script, and we made the final payment. Upon testing the new install script we noticed things did not work as intended, Why would you pay without testing? Even if you have a contract in place it would seem you accepted the code as done and made payment. You might have a small chance of winning if you sue.
