  2. Re:Hey, the TSA does screw all with private planes on TSA To Allow Laptops In Approved Bags · · Score: 1

    nowadays the president probably wouldn't have to make that decision. the people on the plane far outnumber the terrorists and would likely mob-rush them to prevent another sep 11 ... which is exactly why terrorists won't do that shit again and all these draconian measures are pointless.

    and then all the conservatives could go after cereal makers for encouraging canabilism in the same way they now go after video games for encouraging violence

  5. Re:Print Link (and commentary) on IBM Pushing Microsoft-Free Desktops · · Score: 1

    why would a good sys admin need the support? our sys admin handles our debian boxes which run php/mysql/various versions of coldfusion, and even the gentoo box that the previous sys admin (idiot) set up as our DNS server without paying for any support licences...

    there's a helluva lot of 'nix software that doesn't reach it to Windows... and "hunting" for it on google is such a time waster when all I need do is "apt-get install $app"

    Highly unlikely, they don't really care that much if you read a few external websites and get around their firewall
    if however you start a blog and start inciting dissent, badmouthing the chinese govt... then they may have something to say to you.

  15. Re:2008 - The Desktop Linux Dream Is Dead on OSCON 2008 Roundup · · Score: 1

    if debian is breaking you are doing it wrong, it's arguably the most stable linux distro around. if you are worried about stability take the universe and multiverse repos out your apt sources.lst

  18. Re:KDE 4.0 was always more of a test release on KDE 4.1 Released, Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I can't understand all the fuss over .0 myself...
    from a marketing perspective a lot of people are uncomfortable with a .0 release because it is the newest version and probably bug prone. For this reason my old boss named the next itteration of their product 3.1 after 2.6 to trick their potential clients.

  19. Re:Misleading title? on VIA Nano CPU Benchmarked, Beats Intel Atom · · Score: 1

    the car analogy is a bad one, a turboed, bored and tuned 4 banger can outperform a v8, especially around corners, ever pitted an exige against a dodge viper on a twisty track?

    the judicial system is finally recognising that the MAFIIA is making a mockery of the courts, while there have been isolated incodents of common sense in the courtroom this is a big win because now multiple judges are sitting down to look at the issue. It took them long enough.
