  1. Re:OpenCVS? on OpenBSD Foundation Announced · · Score: 0

    I don't know about the OpenBSD guys, but in my experience, Subversion is a total piece of crap. Even worse than CVS.

  2. Re:This will let the US be MORE aggressive on First Robotic Drone Squadron Deployed · · Score: 0

    more aggressive? great! let's go kick some ass!

  3. Re:Old-skool ergonomics of line width on Are 80 Columns Enough? · · Score: 0

    So go ahead, use more than 80 columns. That's fine with me, actually; that way I'll know immediately that your code is a pile of shit without having to spend even 30 seconds actually reading it.

    LOL so true. Another sign of incompetence is strange/unexplainable row spacing. Like for instance in the middle of code there are three completely blank rows with no logical reason for it. You guess they must have cut/pasted something, but didn't bother to clean up afterwards.

  4. Re:Can't they make a 12"/13" Macbook Pro instead? on The Next-Gen iMac With Brushed Aluminum In August? · · Score: -1, Troll

    wtf are you going to do with a 12" screen? if your screen is that small, you might as well just use a cellphone instead (iphone).

  5. Re:Grandstanding. on FSF Rattles Tivo Saber At Apple · · Score: 0

    The odd thing is why are they using those in the first place? There are BSD versions of all those commands except groff (gzip, at least under OpenBSD, is BSD licensed).

    Also, I don't know why they even include BASH, since ZSH is far better and has a non-GPL license.

    you want to look at your mother?

  9. Re:Slashdot is a little biased reporting this on AMD Reports $611 Million Loss · · Score: 0

    Looks like AMD stopped paying their Slashdot advertising fees at the end of last year.

  10. Re:Apple has to offer a decent mid tower. on Vista Taking a Nibble Out of Apple in OS Wars? · · Score: 0

    I know I'd by a mac laptop if they made one with more than one button on the trackpad, and I'd be willing to pay quite a bit more than what I would for a similar PC.

  11. Re:The Wii Dissalusionment Reaction Graph on The Wii - Is the Magic Gone? · · Score: 0

    you do know that you can play tennis without a video game, right?

  12. Re:EVE sucks on CCP Speaks on Allegations of Misconduct in Eve · · Score: 0

    yes, you're right. slashdot needs to patrol everyone's website *rolls eyes*

  13. domain squatting - it's the future! on The Death of Domain Parking? · · Score: 0

  14. Re:The wrong direction on Ubuntu Studio Announced · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Or just use Windows or OSX like everyone else so you can get actually get some work done.

  15. Re:Use "Use"net on Apple/NVidia Driver Bug — Question Deleted · · Score: 0

    Another big disadvantage of web forums is that you can't read them offline. The only way I have fuond to do it is to open all the possible threads I might want to read before I disconnect from the internet.

  16. portmanager on FreeBSD 6.2 Released To Mirrors · · Score: 1, Informative

    portmanager is great too. I have been using it for a long time and it's never failed on me (which is more than I can say for portupgrade).

  17. Re:"source would have to be made available" ? on iPhone Not Running OS X · · Score: 0

    What about bash? I thought it was part of OSX? (WIndows user here)

  18. What OS? on Firefox 3 Plans and IE8 Speculation · · Score: 0

    In Windows FF2 has never crashed on me, however on my Linux and FreeBSD desktops it crashes a couple times every day. I have the exact same extensions and configuration on all the machines. My friends have the same problem with Linux Firefox too. 1.5 never crashed on my on any systems, so I am hoping someone is looking into these stability problems w/the 2.0 version...

  19. Re:Opportunity for Hardware OEMS and Linux! on Windows Home Server Details · · Score: 0

    just use your old pc

  20. Re:From vi to vim, now back again to vi on The Birth of vi · · Score: 0

    Look for 'nvi'. It's the default on *BSD systems, and I'm guessing it would be available for Linux too.

  21. Re:What about error correction? on File Systems Best Suited for Archival Storage? · · Score: 0

    you could write a shell script to automatically generate par2 files for your backups.

    personally, though, i think raid HD mirroring would be a better solution for reliability

  22. Re:Other Amiga hacks on What Bizarre IT Setups Have You Seen? · · Score: 0

    The real question is why the hell Word needs temporary files to operate.

  23. Re:Of all the things I *COULD* be... on Videogames Fill Psychological Needs for Players · · Score: 0

    See, I tried this for a while (except it was with BF2). It just made me pissed off all the time if I wasn't near the top of the scores every round. And a lot of the time, I wasn't.

    Don't like it? Don't buy it. You don't have a right to tell people what they can buy/sell.
