  1. MP3s doomed? Probably. on "MP3 death watch" article on CNN.com · · Score: 1

    Of course, MPEG-4 will be much better than MP3 and with better compression too.

  2. Those three sites aren't alone on Web Sites Shut Down · · Score: 1

    Dave's Classics had already been down a few months ago. It has to be for a different reason. Anyway, now the only sites I really read are /. and freshmeat

  3. and windows ? on Slate Takes on Linux · · Score: 1

    My plug and play devices kept messing up after I installed win98. If I took out the soundcard, the printer disappeared from the control panel. When I changed the cdrom drive, the mouse stopped working.

    They also relate repartitioning their hard-drive with the linux Installation. How would they install another OS on the same HD? Would that magical OS make a partition for Windows and the other OS without corrupting the files?

    A reason why some hardware does not work on Linux is because the companies that make it do not generally support linux.

  4. Booting CDs on Slate Takes on Linux · · Score: 1

    Changing the BIOS to boot a CD can't be that hard. My Dad a lot of people in my family can do that and they're not engineers.

  5. What schools? on Compaq sees Linux as selling Alpha chips · · Score: 1

    Most schools use win95 as clients and Novell Netware as servers.

  6. Web banners on Yet Another GNOME Article · · Score: 1

    Is there any other way to maintain a web server?

    (I know linux is free, but the hardware isn't)

    besides, there are times when they are useful.

  7. Media coverage in general is too non-technical on Yet Another GNOME Article · · Score: 1

    They cover topics related to politics and stuff like that because they just haven't used Unix or Linux.

  8. Yesterday I almost downloaded IE5 for Win32 on Mozilla "beta" Release Coming · · Score: 1

    But when I saw the size of the file I downloaded the latest build of Mozilla

  9. Cannot render slashdot / really buggy on Mozilla "beta" Release Coming · · Score: 1

    The Win32 version renders everything except the banner on top.
    And its very very very very very very very very very very very much faster than Netscape

  10. Realnetworks on IBM Exec Says no Large Web Servers on Linux · · Score: 1

    The people at Realnetworks run linux

  11. It may be your browser on IBM Exec Says no Large Web Servers on Linux · · Score: 1

    /. takes about a minute to load with Netscape 4.5 and it takes only a few seconds with Mozilla

  12. It does not seem to be available for Canada on Dell start selling PC's with Linux · · Score: 0

    I checked at Dell and I couldn't choose RH linux

  13. Linux needs Office on MS Office on Linux (Continued) · · Score: 1

    If there is a chance of MS making an Office port for Linux, then the people at Corel will try to finish their port earlier.

    With an Excel port I could also get my dad to switch to Linux.

    Now we will just need more games and support for SB Live

  14. A reason to use themes. on GNOME-steaders · · Score: 1

    They make your desktop less dull. Its like the stupid colors on the iMac.

    Not: GTK, GNOME and E all have themes.

  15. What Open or Free or Public software need is... on OSI APSL Response · · Score: 0

    ... to drop the f*cking acronyms.

  16. Logins for Prefs on OSI APSL Response · · Score: 1

    Use a real browser, Netscape has profiles

  17. Why? on GNOME-steaders · · Score: 1

    Did you type that stuff just now?

  18. anti-aliased definition? on Feature:The Story of PNG · · Score: 1

    Anti-aliasing is also used in some graphics programs to change the size of bitmapped images.

  19. Inferior? on New Nintendo System · · Score: 1

    Carmen San Diego was a very good game. Today's games are copies of Doom, WarCraft or Tomb Raider but with nicer graphics and some improvements in AI.

  20. Two Releases a year? on Interview with Ransome Love · · Score: 1

    That would be awful, having to wait all that time to get bug fixes and new apps just because big companies cannot adapt to the changes?

    I hope RedHat and the others don't do that.

    Or, I could start using a propietary OS.

  21. Who cares? on ESR responds to Ed Muth · · Score: 1

    asking that Ed guy if Linux is good is like asking Burger King if MacDonald's makes good hamburgers.

    By the way, I think it's funny that a guy called burger would own a fast food chain

  22. I always thought KDE was free on Response to the APSL · · Score: 1

    Software doesn't have to be GPL'ed in order to be free.
    And KDE IS free.

  23. The first? on Caldera/SuSE/Stampede Announce 2.2.x Based Distribution · · Score: 1

    Their webpage says the distro is still in beta.

  24. Ok, this is plain stupid... on Feature:Free Linux · · Score: 1

    Maybe they just don't want rms deciding wether a piece of software is free or not.

  25. 20 Million ? on New Nintendo System · · Score: 1

    It seems the PlayStation 2 will have better graphics.
