  1. Relax on Java to Appear in Next-Gen DVD players · · Score: 1

    "Next stop, annoying Flash intros."

    Relax, Mr. Slippery Slope: Java is just a programming language.

    k.h.

  2. Re:Actually... on Building Applications with the Linux Standard Base · · Score: 1

    He meant Perl.

    k.h.

  3. Mars Attacks! on What's the Worst Movie You've Ever Seen? · · Score: 1


    I walked out of this film.

  4. What About the Summarize Service in OSX? on Paraphrasing Sentences With Software · · Score: 1


    It does a bit of what this article describes, works wonders,
    has been around for quite some time, and it's amazingly
    accurate; check it out:
    highlight any text in OSX, hit the application menu, then Services and Summarize. Simple!

    k.h.

  5. Windows Isn't Ready for the Desktop Either on Red Hat's CEO Suggests Windows For Home Users · · Score: 1

    Seriously devote a minute to think about all the
    security/operation woes inflicted on end-users because
    of Windows. I'd wager that Windows isn't quite ready for
    the desktop either.

  6. Showing a Heavy Microsoft Bias on Microsoft Apologist Apologizes for Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Note the article titles of previous pieces by the same author:
    PREVIOUSLY BY ROB ENDERLE:
    - Microsoft: Hated Because It's Misunderstood
    - Reasons To Shun Open Source-ry
    - Linux Is Not Ready For the Enterprise

    Sure, it's quite possible that he's a Microsoft advocate by choice, but after skimming his previous articles, I'm left seriously wondering if he's compensated to write these obviously pro-Microsoft propagandish articles.

  7. Microsoft Borrowing of Aqua on New Longhorn Screenshots Leaked · · Score: 1, Redundant

    After viewing the new screenshots, I'm left wondering if Micro$oft's developers finally read Apple's Aqua Human Interface Guidelines. Apparently, they've decided to integrate its superior and clean data-centric layout into the Aero interface.

    Note how Micro$oft is going the way of large, smooth, photo-realistic icons, and border-less toolbars--all too reminiscent of Apple's Aqua.

    What else will they borrow next?

  8. Re:Smalltalk as OS on Programming Languages Will Become OSes · · Score: 1
