  1. Re:Here we go on Apple OS X 10.5.6 Update Breaks Some MacBook Pros · · Score: 1

    No one claims Linux is easy. From my experience, and educated and informed decision is the key. If I want to purchase a hardware, I always make sure that it runs well on linux. My notebook is a BenQ Joybook R5200 on Gutsy. Everything (including a dial up softmodem) except the internal card reader works out of the box. And I don't really miss that card reader.

    1) There's no such thing as a UNIX/Linux guy. You're a Linux guy if you're typing it on Slackware. If you were a UNIX guy you'd be typing it on Solaris or BSD. Also, Slackware? Are you guys on ELF binaries

    Well, would you want him to type the same reply twice on a different platform just to prove you're wrong?

    If Israel (and US) wanted to be serious, why don't start by respecting the result of the Palestinian election, and acknowledge that hamas won it. They have tried your way, but you turn your head away.

    Yeah, but how many of them /aren't/ superhero comics?

    Any of them?

    Can you name even one?

    Didn't think so.

    Betty & Veronica?

    Out of about 250 desktops (HP, Dell) and laptops (Dell, Lenovo) that the company I work for bought about 3 months ago came with Windows XP Pro. In fact, during 2008, we only purchased 3 units with Vista on them, which is 1 Lenovo X61 and 2 Vaio TZ series. Of course all of them are running XP at the moment.

  6. really? on Google's Mayer Says Personalization is Key To Future Search · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Isn't the point of search engine is to know what other people think relevant regarding the subject that you're searching for?

  7. Re:Why MySQL? on MySQL in a Nutshell · · Score: 1

    If I remember correctly MySQL also had a native windows version well before PostgreSQL.

    You seem to say that like it's a good thing.

    It isn't? Unlike the true geek of slashdot, my first computer was a Windows pc, since it's a family computer. Having Mysql on Windows saves me a lot of trouble.

  8. Re:Unboring "space" on New Jumpgate Evolution Details · · Score: 1

    I believe that you can get anywhere on Freelancer without using some kind of "gate". You'll get there far slower, but you'll get there. Except the gate to the alien world.

    it is then perfectly OK to release dangerous products, abuse your employees as much as possible under applicable legislation (and then maybe a bit more), harm the environment with your production methods, or risk people's life savings in absurd investment schemas, among many other horrors of modern life.

    Companies don't do that because there are rules and regulations. Would you believe that they won't exploit any holes in regulations simply because it is morally wrong?
