  1. Re:Compiz/Beryl on Theo de Raadt Responds to Linux Licensing Issues · · Score: 1

    Because that militant attitude is what would make FSF=Microsoft. The fact that the BSD license allows for more people to use the source code (with OUT changing their plans) is what makes it 'better'... I should note I don't actually think FSF = Microsoft and I have released code under the GPL so I'm not trolling.

  2. Re:20 Million users contributed feedback on Users Being Migrated To New Version of Hotmail · · Score: 1

    How about all the people switching from Windows? I bet a lot of them don't want to change their email addresses.

  3. Re:I'm confused on The Unauthorized State-Owned Chinese Disneyland · · Score: 1

    Translation: use a sign bit.

  4. Re:You can bet somebody got reamed... on Steve Jobs Personally Resolves Customer Complaint · · Score: 1

    Personally, I'm reminded of Snow Crash... minus the whole arriving in a helicopter thing.

  5. Re:tyranny of the majority on Norway Liberal Party Wants Legal File Sharing · · Score: 1

    In my opinion taking many pharmaceuticals drugs is very much [i]like[/i] walking into the woods to get the plants you think you need to get well. As far as I know we [i]still[/i] don't know what the mechanism of action for SSRIs are... I don't know about you but I don't like that.

  6. Re:Software? on Norway Liberal Party Wants Legal File Sharing · · Score: 1

    It could be that way because the only versions of Intel OSX are versions that come with the computers. Maybe this will change with Leopard (not counting on it)? Still, they're no Amiga.

  7. Re:Alas, a laptop! on Is DVORAK Gaining Traction Among Coders? · · Score: 1

    Maybe I'm just incredibly clumsy but I've broken way too many keys on my 12" PowerBook to feel safe popping keys on and off anymore. I was going to switch to dvorak awhile back until I realized Open Firmware only uses qwerty (and thus, yaboot as well I believe). Guess this probably isn't a problem on the mactels...

  8. Except that Dell sells FreeDOS machines. on Linux Makes For Greener Computing · · Score: 1

    Dell has an "Open Source Desktops" page under their desktops menu.

  9. Re:Are you Experienced ? on Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) Beta Released · · Score: 1

    Try gsudo, it's kdesu on KDE.

  10. Re:No Ultima 8 on Great Moments in Games PR History · · Score: 1

    It might be bad PR but the inverted pentagram is about as satanic as it is right side up... Meaning not at all (could be read either way I guess).

  11. Yeah... on Organism Survives 100 Million Years Without Sex · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...but they're all female.
