    "What you would call a group of people that feels increasingly beseiged by everyone and consequently feels the need to presume everyone to be a criminal"

    I'd say that would be the current US administration wouldn't you?

  3. Re:Please don't be an idiot... on The Death of A Universe · · Score: 1

    Apply subject line to yourself. The whole point of science is to hypothesize and present evidence to support that hypothesis. They (the scientists ) have done just that. They do not claim truth, they claim that the known evidence supports their theory

  4. Re:Don't forget Office on Microsoft Antitrust Update · · Score: 1

    So they could give us a "moving" target

    everyone has a right to ask or make a request. They don't have a right to compliance.

    are you sure you didn't mean to say that Katz ventured out fo "the danger zone of gerbilism" and into "the zone of whiny rats" :)

    Sounds to me like you'd love Afganistan.

  8. Re:Forgot to mention... on What Would Happen To Linux If BeOS Were GPL'd? · · Score: 2

    you want a capable file manager. use ls -R and navigate. I have rarely ever found any gui "file manager" even remotely useable. I cringe every time I see one of my users or staff trying to do something in "NT Explorer". Its useless for god's sake. les see, les spend 20 minutes point and click, associate a damn extension to notepad to find out what the fuck some other programmer was doing and then struggle with a damn gui editor when all you want was to cruise through a few lines of code to see if that was the damn file you wanted to see in the first place. A good command line shell will save you more hours than you'll spend learning how to use it. Don't give me this I just want to get my work done shit either. If you are IS/IT/MIS/programmer that don't cut it at all. Put the time in to learn to use tools that people have worked years to perfect not the "I don't want to learn what ls -R|more" means or ls -R | grep "filename.h" does. just time yourself sometime. how long does it take to type in ls -R|grep xxx.h and then how long does it take to click this directory, that directory, another directory. oh! we're getting close, click this directory.

    i ain't even going to apologize for the 4 scotch rant :)

  10. Monopoly on Copy Protection - Scapegoat or Real Threat? · · Score: 1

    This whole issue is about a monopoly trying to maintain its grip on the use tax they are able to impose on consumers. Think about it.

    What well known OS has actually been able to make inroads against the current PC standard and why was it able to do so?

  11. Re:Windows support rox on Play MP3s on Your Stereo Without Wires · · Score: 1

    your using a rather blunt instrument then, aren't you?

  12. Re:Big Bang? on New Heavy Ion Collider could "destroy the earth" · · Score: 1

    I think they feel that this Universe is much too much like Windoze. It's time to reformat the disk and re-install.
