Damphousse says it’s not up to players to control salary cap

Damphousse says it's not up to players to control salary cap

"But what's the sense of me saying to a team: 'Whoa, slow down.' It's not my responsibility to ask them to pay me less. It's up to them (the owners) to discipline themselves. If they want to pay me, OK, thank you."

But Vinny, the point is the teams have no discipline! The NHL needs to step in and save the teams from themselves. That's what the war-of-2004 (new CBA) will be about.

The Register

DesktopX - killer eye candy or the great Windows desktop liberator?

I think I've mentioned DesktopX here before. I'm not using it (yet), but it's very very cool. Maybe now that it's 1.0 I'll have the guts to use it. It's sad OS X doesn't have anything at the system level that is analogous to COM or OpenDoc, because even if Stardock WANTED to port to OS X, they'd have to build a component interface on top of (or under) their product.

Actually, I hope they do it! :-)

I've been a Stardock customer since, oh, 1995? Day 1, anyway. I bought their first product and probably the majority of the products they've ever released. Object Desktop (ControlCenter in particular) totally rocks. It's been on every PC desktop (OS/2 or Windows) I've used (home and work) regularly since I first saw it.

The Lowedown on Lindros

The Lowedown on Lindros

"The list of e-mails on one Internet site questioning Kevin Lowe's sanity in pursuing Eric Lindros numbered more than 20 by noon yesterday."

As much as I don't want him to play for the Oilers it's intriguing to think such a thing would be possible if it wasn't for the fact Lindros is the jerk who wouldn't play for the Nordiques (and is now -2 Stanley Cup rings for that decision) because they were a small market team and won't play for the Oilers for some equally selfish reason.
