  1. Re:Oh, hey, look -- on KDE Developers Discuss Merging Libraries With Qt · · Score: 1

    KDE considers yet another massive reorganization and new version! Certainly this won't affect usability or the long term future of the project at all, just like the transition from KDE3 to KDE4 didn't!

    Yep. Time to leave these growing rolling buggy monsters and return to xfce.

    Or maybe somebody might fork old good KDE 3.5 and keep it in the nice "maintenance mode" without spasmodic revolutions each year or so? I could easily live (in fact would prefer) without plasmoids and semantic desktop pipe dreams.

  2. Re:Who does on Tech Specs Leaked For French Spyware · · Score: 1

    Oh no, it's typical KGB of worst Soviet times. 3-rd Reich wasn't so advanced technically . In fact this is worse than KGB.

    And yes, I did live in Soviet Union when it was still strong. I know about KGB.

  3. Re:With apologies to Forest Gump on Antidepressants In the Water Are Making Shrimp Suicidal · · Score: 1

    So eating suicidal shrimps should help against depression. Hmm, seems that there could be whole new medicine emerging. Suicidal shrimps with anti-depressants, some good wine,... :)

  4. Re:not limited to this phone... on The Verizon Wireless HTC Eris 'Silent Call Bug' · · Score: 1

    Yep, I can confirm this. Same thing happens with two iPhones 3GS in my family. Reboot helps but not for a long time. When I know there will be important calls I usually re-boot my iPhone in advance, just in case.

  5. Re:In soviet Russia... on IBM Supercomputer Cooled With Hot Water · · Score: 1

    Nope. In Soviet Russia, you warm the hot water.

  6. Re:Other Massive Hoaxes... on The Greatest Scientific Hoaxes? · · Score: 1

    Yep, so called Global Warming is, by far, #1 hoax these times.

  7. Re:Take the opposite approach. on Give Up the Fight For Personal Privacy? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    > it's like saying writing your password on a post-it stuck to your monitor is a good security practice because security by obscurity doesn't work.

    However writing _incorrect_ password on a post-it note stuck to your monitor works quite well :)

  8. Re:Priorities, people! on Next-Gen Mars Rover In Danger of Cancellation · · Score: 1

    Sure. Some irresponsible financial gamblers are much more valuable for decaying empire... Don't worry, US guys, Russians and Chinese will sell you some Space Services and information. Maybe. Remember that after end of Shuttle program soon there will be no serious US space transportation vehicles anyway.

  9. Re:Moved on to virtualization? on openMosix Is Shutting Down · · Score: 1

    > Am I the only one who noticed that Moshe Bar (the leader of the openMosix project) has gone on to found three (!) virtualization companies, including Xensource?

    So it's worth to avoid Xen now because it probably will be abandoned too.

  10. Re:To answer your question, on Should You Trust MAPS? · · Score: 1

    > "Remember, the blacklist is just publishing the data."

    Nope. These "data" result in active censorship of mail in whole Internet. Blacklists are close relatives to "Index of prohibited books", published regularly by Catholic church (actually by Inquisition).

    Any person or organization publishing blacklists - doesn't matter, for free or for pay - need to be audited regularly and forced to pay for damages incurred to innocent people. Class action lawsuit seems to be long overdue.
