    Re: Apple patents idea of silent computer

    Is there anything constructive you'd like to add to your post or is that it, that's all you have to say?

    I stated my opinion. My opinion is that patent will likely be accepted because that's what...

    Re: Apple patents idea of silent computer

    So what are your credentials since you seem to know so much about patents? Do you work for the patent office or are a patent lawyer?

    Apple patents idea of silent computer

    Apple muffles PC noisemakers

    Yet another dumb patent. I wonder if they'll try to collect royalties now from Antec, Zalman and others that build low-noise components.
  6. Re: I'll have DSL for only 1 month, what should I download? I need ideas

    1.5 KB/s sucks. You should be getting around 5 KB/s. I would consider changing ISPs.

    [ubuntu] Re: Random Logout in Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty

    This is the most annoying thing ever. I've noticed it may happen when playing a video; anything really. It has occurred on both my laptops; one has an integrated Intel video card and the other an...
  10. Re: how do you report illegal material found in searches to google?

    I would strongly advise against doing any kind of investigation yourself. You can and will be implicated if you do. Your best bet is to search the Internet for the appropriate authorities in your...

    The cat got your tongue ;)
  12. Re: how do you report illegal material found in searches to google?

    I think you would be better off reporting it to the authorities, not to Google. Let the authorities investigate it and work with Google.

    Re: Beware of Future Shop credit cards

    Yeah it was a lot, just under $10,000. When I made the original purchase the manager said that he had never seen anyone get that kind of credit before. He said it is usually a few thousand at the...

    Beware of Future Shop credit cards

    Many many years ago I had a Future Shop credit card. I used it for one purchase, paid it off entirely the next month, then had Future Shop cancel the card. I owed nothing on the card so the account...

    Re: Asus, Linuxs fair weather friend

    This is why you should never take anything at face value a manufacturer says about its products. If a consumer is so ignorant to believe everything advertised/marketed about a product, then they...

    Re: A point from Microsoft's forums about Ubuntu

    All I can say is this guy must be extremely inept if it costs him $400 to rebuild his computer. So even if he made $50/hour he is saying it would take him 8 hours to rebuild it. Sorry man but that...

    For example,...

    Wireless is great for casual Internet use but anything more than that requires a hard line. For casual Internet use wireless G is fast enough (unless you have say a 25 mbs ISP.) Even with a DD-WRT...
