  1. Re:Be like OSX on AutoPackaging for Linux · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Now Debian is my favourite distro by far but I'm never gonna pretend that the package system is solid. Having way to many times been in the position where some little thing breaks and dpkg and apt just choke totally (to the point where I can't install something because I some package is broken and I can't uninstall that package because the damned uninstall-script needs something installed first).

    The long and short of it is No, that's not how you "fix" dependencies in Debian. A lot of editing obscure files, handrolling temp replacement packages and so much swearing I need to put a parental advisory sticker outside my appartment is.

  2. Re:Lousy directory structure on WinFS to be available in WinXP · · Score: 1

    So the Gentoo filesystem is well organized? I'm not really experienced in gentoo but has that distro got something other linux distros lack when it comes to organization? I mean the Linux File System standard is all fine and dandy when it comes to system files and libraries but the whole "everything else goes into home" is a bit lacking for my tastes... There's a lot I don't like about the Windows way of doing it but having ready places to put media like pictures and music is nice imho.

    If they've decided on a good standard place to put all-user accessible mp3's on a linux system I'm all ears. And trying to figure out what files go with an application is even more of a nightmare in linux than in windows...

  3. Re:NAMBLA on Google vs. Evil · · Score: 5, Insightful
    [thing-about-NAMBLA] You can search for it on Google and surely enough, it's right there on the top. So what does this say about Sergey Brin?

    Not much. It says more about you and your reasoning.
    This is about ads and making choices about who to sell them to.
    I don't see google actually blocking searches for booze,guns and tobacco, they just choose not to sell adspace to those industries.

    They also index sites concerning rape, murder, war, hate crimes and a lot of other generally considered evils. But they don't sell ads for them.

    Your argument is a logical fallacy and detrimental to the discussion. You are the weakest link, goodbye =)
  4. Re:It might not all be open source on Pardon, Is This Your File? · · Score: 1

    Oh get off it. It's not very likely now is it.
    Stop and think for a second.

    The first question is about copyrighted works and the second is about software.

    Can you say mp3?

    I like Free Software and Open Source but I'm not silly enough to actually believe that it's a large part of what J. Random User downloads.
