  1. BS on Old Arguments May Cost Linux the Desktop · · Score: 1

    Most of Linux kernel developers code for money. Far from hobbyists.
    And Mozilla is non-profit.

  2. Re:Want details on Swede Arrested For Building Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    50kg/1g = 50 billion, not 50 million, so it is fair to assume that it is possible. Big business for vendors! :D

    yeah, bad guys, no respect to patents!!!

  8. Re:Gee, just 14 years on Ryan Gordon Wants To Bring Universal Binaries To Linux · · Score: 1

    It doesn't have to be mandatory for all binaries. Users can be allowed to still produce ISA-specific binaries.
    Let Ubuntu adopt these universal binaries, but Gentoo will remain Gentoo.

  9. Re:Huh? on No Cheap Replacement For Hard Disks Before 2020 · · Score: 1

    In the near future the framerate is about to move from 24p to 48p. Just an example.

    :D

    That would be cool!

  13. Re:The Holy Bible is pure on Apple May Loosen Restrictions With iPhone 3.0 · · Score: 1

    ...but the worst of all is that these texts are tought at the school in many countries!

  14. Re:May I suggest a name? on Cuba Launches Own Linux Variation · · Score: 1

    or Cubix ?

  15. Re:How did microsoft get around the embargo? on Cuba Launches Own Linux Variation · · Score: 1

    It doesn't host it, americans builit it far before Castro came to power, and they refuse to abandon it

  16. Re:A reasoned analysis? That's good. on Linus Switches From KDE To Gnome · · Score: 1

    In short, KDE4 is basically a year late.

    Basically KDE4 is an eternity early...
    It should be postponed to be shipped along with DNF!

  17. Re:Pricing? on Toshiba Launches Laptop With Three GPUs · · Score: 1

    That's ok. I guess in my country it will be:

    The [Qosmio] X305-Q706 costs ($1,999 + US £1,257) in the US, although we haven't seen any UK pricing on the laptops yet.

  19. Re:Yes I'd like to see that on Group Wants Wi-Fi Banned, Citing Allergy · · Score: 1

    And no one knows why cancer rates have increased so much in the last few years. No they haven't.

    According to WHO rates have been lowered in both women and men, while absolute numbers have been raised only at women. The reason is believed to be the ...feminism, which directed that women are equal to men, so they should also smoke! However men are quitting smoking while women still do it.

    I don't know if I put it right, but in few words: QUIT SMOKING.

  20. Re:They already have a common UI. on Moving Toward a Single Linux UI? · · Score: 1

    So you use an 1.x kernel?!

  21. Yes, they do! on Debian Not Looking For Commercial Fortune · · Score: 1

    No, no-way.
    I think that the problem is in the term "non-profit". In my language, Greek, we use a term which translates like "an organization who's aim is not the profit".
    Non-profit organizations do not have profit as a goal. However they do need it as a medium in order to succeed at their higher purpose.
    So, Debian needs money. However they will not sacrifice their "social contract" (Gentoo term) in order to maximize income.

  22. Re:I thought, everything that could go wrong in Ir on Robot Rebellion Quelled in Iraq · · Score: 1

    It seems that analysts think that the death toll must have reached 7 figures: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War

    ...Most places are peaceful... Yeah, sure! Which exactly major or minor newspaper told you that?
  24. Re:Just like the FPU on Nvidia CEO "Not Afraid" of CPU-GPU Hybrids · · Score: 1

    The separate cpu/fpu was rather a business decision and not a technical one. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the 486SX a DX with some units disabled? Isn't the Phenom X3 a X4 with one core disabled?

  25. Re:ouch on Nvidia CEO "Not Afraid" of CPU-GPU Hybrids · · Score: 1

    I don't know what a forward p/e of 14 is, nor a value stock price or whatever. The matter is that you lost 7% today and you suggest us to do the same.
