  1. Re:My school has one! on The Minicomputer Orphanage · · Score: 1

    we got a few computers ancient enough for that page, they are called linux boxes

  2. Re:www.4ppl30VV|\|3zj00.com on Apple to Include BSD in WWDC · · Score: 1

    surely the reason apple uses BSD and not Linux is because OSX is based on NextStep and they wanted to use the best underpining OS for the job, not the one with the most hype

  3. Re:I CAN SEE THE FUTURE. on Wilfredo Sanchez Leaves Apple · · Score: 1

    you missed out the 3 people who will claim that Apple stole the GUI from Xerox

    On a unrelated note, why does slashdot filter out the html blink tag?

    and apple have given back a new BSD varient, various libraries and a QT streaming server back free to the community. what exactly is your point?

  8. Re:Learn the facts on Apple Moves Again To Squash Look-Alikes · · Score: 1

    don't bother, the hysterical linux masses will just ignore the facts and trot out the same bullshit lies again the next time there is an apple GUI story on slashdot

  10. The point is... Microsoft on Apple Moves Again To Squash Look-Alikes · · Score: 1

    i don't think apple are that worried about linux l33t d00ds having desktops that look like OSX i think they are scared of M$ copying OSX just like they copied classic OS. if apple lets some little guys get away with copying aqua then how can they protect their GUI against copying from M$ or any other big company. that is the point.

  11. Re:Idiotic on Apple Moves Again To Squash Look-Alikes · · Score: 1

    there are so many mistakes in this post its laughable

  12. Re:Nice troll...not on Apple Moves Again To Squash Look-Alikes · · Score: 1

    people are too lazy to look up the facts and instead prefer to trot out the same crap lies. and then slashdot mods these lies up as "insightful" ha

    er no, apple paid xerox for the technology. if you had bothered to look up the facts then you would know this.

  25. Pluto is always a planet to me on Some Demote Pluto To Non-Planet · · Score: 1
    i grew up with Pluto being a planet. in class (3rd grade i suppose) we made models of the planets and hung them from the ceiling. the lucky kids got to do the small planets hehe. its always been a planet to me, so what they or any other scientists say won't change my mind.

    they'll be saying the moon isn't made of cheese next!
