If you were born in 1984, then you probably don't realize what a pain using a pc was before gui's and mutithreading either. You used to have to start the computer by loading the OS from a 5 1/4 floppy, and then swap out the floppy so you could load…

"This kid will surely settle with M$ for a tidy sum (read: thousands) for the hard work he did of registering a domain name, but mark my words: If this goes to court or arbitration, Microsoft will easily walk away the victor." I won't say I told …

ftp software comes in a lot of different brands. www.download.com will help you find one that you will like (I am sure there are some that others prefer more than what I use). Once you install the software, the configuration is usually pretty st…

I use ftp software to connect and upload my pages. You might flip through the FAQ once you login to the admin.1and1.com page and get info about the settings.

I don't know why you can't upload. I have been able to perfectly fine. If your dns hasn't been set up yet, you can use that goofy 2030002.homesite.us (or whatever it really is, since I can't remember) dns to connect to until it is. Can't compla…

How did I get the guy's photo? I did a LOT of digging. I connected his alias with his real name, and did some additional digging. You would be suprised what Amazon.com recommendations and Yahoo ID's can reveal, not to mention newsgroup posts and …

The name Microsoft is trademarked. Nobdy has disputed that Mike Rowe registered MikeRoweSoft for any other reason than it was a funny play on the name. Phonetic similarities are trademark infringemnts, trademark caselaw supports this. Microsoft…

I got a letter from his lawyer about a year after I got ripped off. It said he was very sorry yadda yadda yadda, and that they needed an estimate of how much money I was out to submit to the court as part of the plea agreement. I heard he scammed …

OK, I know I am going to get slammed here, but I truly believe that companies have an obligation to protect their trademarks. I don't actually think this kid deserves to be sued, M$ created a horrible PR nightmare with that, but obviously the…

I didn't get to see the item you guys are talking about, but I can offer this story: I found an ebay item listing 4 15" Powerbook Ti's at about $1000 discount to normal price. New, in-box, warranty, not stolen, etc. is what the guy promised. "I…

I don't think the idea is stupid. I don't even think Adobe was probably pressured into doing it. Obviously this isn't going to stop someone that is determined to scan and print money. Heck, there are even ways to download approved (and slightly a…

Why would you touch-up scenes for a historic commercial just to put in your latest trendy device? And not even the latest version (mini)? Something is missing here.

Well, I was a systems admin before I moved to Phoenix. I did Novell and Windows administration and a lot of other things for a big company in Kansas City. Now I just do platform validation for I/O boards for Intel. I am 1 of about a billion contr…

I checked into helping a couple of organizations (won't name them here) and found that they were much more interested in my monetary donations than time. Pitty too, my time is worth a lot more than I can give in cash. I think it has to do with t…

Surprized the movie hasn't come up yet. "Sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I woulnd't know 'cause I'd never eat the filthy mutha f*as."

Quote: The 970 is the same physical size as an MPC7447, and it's smaller than a 7457. Sheer physical size isn't the problem here. Heat - not just the 970's, but the high-speed bus', and the companion chip's - is the problem, Who said the iMac ha…

I think they could call it "the toaster" because that is how hot an 8" enclosure would be with a faster 970 in it. It would kinda match the appliance thing they have going on with the lamp-style iMacs.

I used to make a copy of my system folder in the old 7.5.x days. You could make the system run from it, but I forget how exactly .... I think you had to create the ram disk, copy the system to it, change boot disk to ram disk, and restart. someho…

Where are the details on the $200 rebate for an iPod??
