  1. the standard on Open MPEG-4 Codec Contest · · Score: 1

    And apple makes up about 10% of the computer population. Hardly a standard when most professional video is done on SGI's using MPEG. Quicktime blows big time.

  3. Re:Mod above up as "Informative"!!! on Unified BSD packaging system? · · Score: 1

    you mean like bike racing? After all they can just run.

  5. Re:Weaponry on Kmart To Card Buyers Of Violent Games · · Score: 1

    "But what does that person have a rifle for anyway then?"

    I don't know, how about hunting or sport shooting? Last time I checked target shooting is still an olympic event.

  6. Close on Python 1.6 Incompatible w/ GPL · · Score: 1

    He's just an arrogant asshole. Read this interview for some good insight into his delusional mind.

  7. thats normal on Sega Giving Stock To Stop ISO Pirates? · · Score: 1

    Some people say to disable javascript, css, and images and its stable. Then whats the point of using a graphical browser?

  8. oh yeah the govt! on Amazon Charging Different Prices for Same Items? · · Score: 1

    The same people who brought you vietnam and communists like bill clinton are going to honestly regulate prices? The government can't even budget itself properly.

  9. hes also an extremist on KDE to RMS: That's Absurd. · · Score: 1

    Check this interview where he interrupts the guy talking to him, real professional. This doesn't help his credibility.

  10. thats communism for you on RMS on the GPLing of Qt and More · · Score: 1

    Allow me to quote a certain interview of RMS on his thoughts of paying for software.

    "The only good thing about the unauthorized copy is that you avoid giving money to the owner. This is good, because the owner does not deserve a reward for making software proprietary"

    http://tlug.linux.or.jp/rms.html

    Read how he interrupts the guy giving the interview and gets all defensive. Someone hit a nerve there. So RMS advocates stealing, good job. This is why conservative corporations are afraid to endorse linux. When you have to crackpot running around saying piracy is good and singing the free software song it doesn't strike a good public image.

  11. then on RMS on the GPLing of Qt and More · · Score: 1

    If RMS isn't supposed to think for you then why did commiedot post his response?

  12. better read bugtraq on How Do Linux and Windows 2000 Compare? · · Score: 1

    He better keep up on bugtraq, having a default redhat install is just bait for script kiddies.

  13. Re:Windows 2000 is good, Linux is good on How Do Linux and Windows 2000 Compare? · · Score: 1

    Uhhh win2k professional has support for two processors out of the box. You don't pay anything for adding a second cpu. But win2k server is good for 8 or 16, and advanced server should handle up to 32.

    When someone tries to test like an 8 way xeon box with an adaptec raid card people will bitch because linux doesn't support 8 cpus or ANY adaptec raid card. The only supported raid cards in linux are older models, while adaptec is the industry standard and yet has no support at all.

  14. more FUD on How Do Linux and Windows 2000 Compare? · · Score: 1

    Pathetic interface? Its the same interface as netscape except without the shop button. You have the forward/back buttons and right click menus. Whats pathetic about that? IE didn't render the page correctly? Hit reload *poof* its fixed. Had you been using netscape it would have segfaulted.

  15. Re:Anime? on News Dragonball Z Starts Today, Plus Anime Bits · · Score: 1

    Let me know when they have hentai animae on dvd.

  16. yeah linux is such a priority on DoS Vulnerability On Nokia Phones · · Score: 1

    Its not on their biggest list of priorities when the linux user base is like 5-10%. Of course the interface is going to be complicated, how the hell can you type 26 letters with a 12 button keypad?

  17. different license? on Unified BSD packaging system? · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should read up on BSD before posting. Its not called the BSD license for kicks.

  18. Re:How about .tar.gz? on Unified BSD packaging system? · · Score: 1

    With FreeBSD I never ever have problems when dealing with rpms and failed dependencies or version xxxx of qt or gtk. Redhat was just a pain in my ass when dealing with rpms. Don't ever compile libs yourself of you break rpm, its not smart enough to check actual versions, just the rpm entries. With any flavor of BSD I just download the ports tree, switch to the right dir and type make;make install.

  19. I actually sat on one! on Cray for Sale - Cheap - Some Assembly Required · · Score: 1

    The local Westinghouse here had like an open house day and they were giving tours of their 3 crays. They have the red, green, and yellow models. I got to sit on one of them. One thing the auction doesn't mention is the flock of IBM mainframes that feed it.

  20. how on More On Paid Distributed Computing · · Score: 1

    Do you know someone isn't tapping your phone or pointing directional microphones at you on the street? Life is a gamble, deal with it.

  21. for a while at least on More On Paid Distributed Computing · · Score: 1

    Until more people start doing that and the rent increases because all of a sudden their electric bill skyrocketed.

  22. tax breaks on California's Internet Tax Bill Slithers Forward · · Score: 1

    Doesn't it stand to reason that the more taxes you pay the bigger your tax break would be? The millionaire gets a bigger tax break because he pays more to begin with.

  23. maybe :) on Vintage Computer Festival in San Jose · · Score: 1

    I kinda doubt the goodwill would take a VAX 11/750 or anything that large and non x86.

  24. well don't forget on Linux Drivers For Free Barcode Scanner Cease-And-D... · · Score: 1

    You didn't purchase this scanner. If you read the fine print you are merely borrowing it and they can recall it any time. It seems fair since you are getting something for free.

  25. you can read it manually on Linux Drivers For Free Barcode Scanner Cease-And-D... · · Score: 1

    Its no big secret, remember that school that had the kids social security numbers in a barcode? Well they learned how to read it.
