  1. Blow stuff up on Westwood Linux Petition for C&C II · · Score: 0

    Anyone know of a game like command & conquer except with realistic tanks US/German/Soviet tanks?? Less game and more reality? Nothing turn-based please.

  2. buying small amounts on Be Inc. IPO launched · · Score: 0

    All the online trading companies want you to deposit several thousand dollars before they'll let you even buy 1 share at $8. Is there a way I can buy small amounts of stock without spending more than $500. Like using a credit card?

  3. Don't fix it if it isn't broken on Feature: The Broadband Wars · · Score: 0
    As a cable user, I sure as f-ck don't want a bunch of AOL leeches 'hitching a ride' on the cable network. The cable company had to build up the infrastructure, they should be allowed to reap the reward for their work.

    There are many other ways to get high speed access besides cable. If AOL & friends want to get in to the high speed access industry they will have to build their own networks, just like everyone else.

  4. Re:RED hat Commie sounding on Red Hat Europe · · Score: 0

    Yes, Red Hat = Communist Conspiracy. We are everywhere. You cannot run you cannot hide. We will punish you with the four day work week and free hospitals. From each according to his command line, to each according to his GUI.

  5. Re:The reason I like cash is ... on Hiccups in a Cashless Society · · Score: 1
    I'm sure they care. A lot! When 'big brother' finds out you've been eating potato chips, there will be trouble!

    I was caught drinking an entire liter of pepsi once. The feds rushed in my house, pinned me against the wall, and tore out my tongue. Now I can no longer enjoy pepsi like I used to! Damn credit cards!

  6. No on Hiccups in a Cashless Society · · Score: 0

    If we use a "gold standard" you have things like the Great Depression happen. It is easier to control inflation and so on when you aren't stuck to some arbitrary standard.

  7. Re:The more swap the better! on Ask Slashdot: Linux and Swap Optimization? · · Score: 0

    Okay, sounds good to me! hehe

  8. Re:vrms :-) on Ask Slashdot: "Pseudo-Free" Software in Major Distributions? · · Score: 0

    LOL!

  9. Re:It's a tool people on Back Orifice 2000 on CNN.COM · · Score: 0

    Good. Then you shouldn't mind if I store 3 tons of dynamite in my garage.

  10. /bin/sh on FreeBSD and Linux Comparative Apache benchmarks · · Score: 0

    Also FreeBSD uses a "real" sh while Linux just uses a scaled down version of bash. The lack of bloat in FreeBSD's sh could give it an extra speed bonus.

  11. I agree on Browser news · · Score: 0

    If it were licensed under the GPL or BSD I think there would be more people working on it.

  12. Re:I'm not sure on NT vs. Linux: Again · · Score: 0

    Are you using Netscape or Internet Explorer?? Certain server softwares work better or worse with certain browsers.

  13. :) on New ESR paper: The Magic Cauldron · · Score: 0

    Methinks ESR has been sippin' at ye olde Magic Cauldron too much. Why is ye floor spinning?

  14. Re:Remember when... on AOL accused of domain name hijacking · · Score: 1

    I think they should have made it so nobody with less than say.... 100 employees/members/whatever could have their own .com .org .net domain. There could be a seperate tld like .home for personal home pages and that kind of junk. Then a domain name would actually mean something.

  15. Re:how can i get anonymous email to respond to thi on AOL accused of domain name hijacking · · Score: 1

    This is just one reason why we shuold encourage the freedom of anonymity. I have a feeling that those people who say that you must "stand behind your words" have never held an unpopular idea in their lives and/or their jobs involve crushing dissent. 'tis a shame.

  16. Re:AOL have used AOLsearch as a name for some time on AOL accused of domain name hijacking · · Score: 1

    Why can't they just make www.aol.com/search -- that seems to make a lot more sense to me. Why do they need a seperate domain name for this??

  17. Capitalism on Feature:GPL vs BSD · · Score: 1

    Anti-capitalism is a GOOD thing! Put an end to one dollar = one vote

  18. Who cares on GIMP, Civ:CTP, and low-cost box Coming to BeOS · · Score: 2

    Who cares if it is "open source" (which doesn't mean anything anyway, BSD or public domain software are the only types that are truly free and open) -- the important thing is that it runs well.

  19. Re:The reason for the name... on K7 Renamed "Athlon" · · Score: 1

    I thought the Pentium was named that because "586" was trademarked by another company!!??

  20. Home Depot on Home Depot tests Linux for remote mangament of PCs · · Score: 1

    Maybe they should hire some more employees first. Even at the slowest hour of the day you have to wait at least 15 minutes at the checkout. I hate Home Depot. Unfortunately they have a near-monopoly here.

  21. Re:I don't see you forking over a percentage... on VA Research Gets New Investors · · Score: 1

    That's a shame.. VA Research sounds much cooler.

  22. Re:NSI = Predatory Monopoly on Dyson Says: "NSI is stalling" · · Score: 1

    I think they're too busy at the shooting range to sponsor a domain system right now.

  23. on Salon on Mindcraft II · · Score: 1

    I thought Mindcraft II was a computer game?? LOL!

  24. Re:Login: on Hillis' virus solution: Limit OS Usage · · Score: 1

    Or just create a real login. It's free.

  25. Excellent on 3dfx sues Creative Labs over Glide · · Score: 1

    I hate Creative Labs.
