  1. Re:Already have part of it / Need something differ on Everyone Needs a Personal Server · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    So I carry two 120GB USB drives with me wherever I go. These drives are pretty bulky, but they do allow me to do what this "personal server" is promoting - access my data from any workstation.

    Wow, I didn't realise anyone placed such high importance on their porn collection. Adds new meaning to "personal server".

    Ho my God! You forgot to close the whine tag! All the rest of slashdot will be whining! (Like we're not used to it.) See, it's allready started!

    Hey, dorkus malorkus, that was a C style comment and it looked closed to me! Bah, everyone seems to think everything is that newfangled XML thing these days.. *grunt* *groan* *cough*

    Preach it, brother! That is basically my plan for succeeding in life all laid out.

    And as long as those genetic super-beings don't come along and stuff it up, I think it has a pretty good chance of succeeding.

    And we would all be benefiting from that, if we could figure out how to use it.

  8. Re:GPL loophole? on Linksys and the GPL, Again · · Score: 1
    Oh no! Now everyone's going to be spending their time hacking compilers to subvert the GPL instead of contributing!

    But really, that probably won't happen for two reasons - 1, because it could probably still be argued that is changing the source; and 2, because it'd take a load of effort and anyone that would go to lengths such as those to subvert the GPL for a little "profit" is probably going out of business soon due to lack of productivity...

  15. Re:NTLM is good for some people on Mozilla 1.4b Loosed · · Score: 1
    I'd like to point out this is just plain wrong. There are many developers that are forced to use IE to do their job just because the company's product runs on IIS and uses NTLM.

    Yes... I tried to use Mozilla to "do my job" but I couldn't log in to the company's proxy server. Thank goodness I can "do my job" at work now without using IE.

    After all, I suppose your job is whatever you spend the most time at work doing...

  16. Re:Inflammatory on GPL and Leased Software? · · Score: 1
    Okay, that's just not true. Is there a "caste" system for software users? I would certainly hope not, to create one would be a pointless and self-indulgent intellectual exercise.

    No, it's not true, and it's not what the original poster meant either. If you actually read the whole sentence you will discover:

    It reveals a bottom layer in the cultural strata of software users: those who use Free Software; those who click through EULA's and the associated closed-source licenses; and the lowly renters.

    Hence the original poster meant that the free software users were at the top, not bottom, of the pile.

    This is the lamest April Fools joke so far.

    Windows95 has a start button. Woo.

    Actually, the major "revolution" with Windows 95 was the paradigm shift from the Load-Programs-Open-File paradigm to the document based paradigm. Of course, the macintosh had this for years before hand, but it was new to the windows world and it really took off.
