Ars Technica Confirms Total Lack of Knowledge as it pertains to “Human” Users
In: All News
28 Oct 2009I love the Ars Technica website. I read it regularly and find a lot of good information there. Unfortunately today was not one of those days. While I am beating this dead horse, I might as well get one more swat in. Ars posted “5 years later, 5 ways that Ubuntu has made Linux more [...]

In: All News
4 Jun 2009The sad part is that I agree with him, the age restriction is silly and realistically the college basketball system should compensate it’s players since it monetizes them so heavily. That being said, the government has no business trying to get involved in the National Basketball League’s collective bargaining agreement. Cohen, a member of the [...]

Time for the US Government to confront the European Union
In: All News
31 May 2009Yet another article today. The EU is saying that it’s going to take another approach. Instead of fines, or forcing Microsoft to ship without Internet Explorer, they are going to try to force Microsoft to include other browsers in Windows. This means that most likely Firefox and Opera would ship inside Windows. The EU is [...]

Windows 7 screams on netbooks. My wife and I both run it on MSI Wind netbooks with 1.5GB Ram flawlessly. Installing it isn’t so easy though. Netbooks don’t have optical drives and Windows 7 RC ships as an ISO to burn your own disc. What to do…. What You Need First, obviously, download the Windows [...]

How the European Union can wield it’s power responsibly
In: All News
13 May 2009I am addressing a subject which has become quite the hot topic this week, and that subject is the European Union’s stance towards antitrust, and the big tech firms it goes after for ‘breaching’ it. This isn’t the first post I’ve written on the subject this week, but after several heated conversations with my friends [...]
