  1. no more movies on Another Star Wars Prequel? · · Score: 1

    unless they make a kotor movie

  2. and this is bad how? on Revenge of the Sith a "Blood Bath" · · Score: 1

    nothing short of intergalatic genocide will make up for the steaming pile of sesame street meets angst ridden crybaby the last two movies have blessed us with. I have every confidence that this will be at least the second best star wars movie ever.

  3. Re:Seriously, what's so moronic about this? on The Planet's Most Moronic Hacker · · Score: 1

    same here, i just finished deleteing all his mp... oh crap

  4. how the average joe can help on Finding the Pits In CherryOS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "enforcing the GPL could take help"

    the average man may not be able to help in a court of law, but the best way for the average person to ensure the GPL is upheld is to boycot software that violates it.

  5. Re:here comes the clue train! last stop is you on CherryOS Mac Emulator Resurfaces · · Score: 1
    i think the clue train got derailed before your stop. let me supply you with some track to mend your faulty ones. first, get your keyboard fixed; apparently you caps lock key is radomly getting stuck for no reason. second, no source code for cherryos has been produced so no one (other than the author, who is probably unwilling to admit he is a code theif) can with certainty say whether or not it truly is stolen yet.

    "PEARPC IS LICENSED UNDER THE GPL. WITH ALL GPL'ED SOFTWARE, YOU MUST MENTION THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND INCLUDE THE SOURCE CODE. TURNING GPL'ED CODE INTO COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE IS NOT COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. TURNING GPL'ED CODE INTO COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE WITHOUT GIVING CREDIT TO THE ORIGINAL AUTHORS OR INCLUDING A COPY OF THE SOURCE CODE IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT."


    no kidding, thats what i said with "if they had just said they were making a comercial product based on pearpc there wouldnt have been so much trouble;" i may have only implied that they should have followed the GPL, but i thought that most /.ers were smart enough to pick up on that implication. based on your post im guessing your not from the usa because we americans got this thing called inocent until proven guilty. the internet isnt a court of law, but i believe that people should be considered inocent until they are proven guilty; whether their accused of stealing code or manslaughter makes no difference to me.



    yes i realize im talking to a brick wall

  6. Re:boo hoo on CherryOS Mac Emulator Resurfaces · · Score: 1

    except they took credit for something they probably didnt do. I imagine if they had just said they were making a comercial product based on pearpc there wouldnt have been so much trouble.

  7. names, names, names... on CherryOS Mac Emulator Resurfaces · · Score: 1

    im curious about the naming of the two programs; to me naming your ppc emulator cherryos and "releasing" it a short time after a free ppc emulator called pearpc was released is suspicious at least. it doesnt make them theives, but it definitely makes them unoriginal.

  8. heaven forbid we make the french mad. on France National Library Attacks Google Book Effort · · Score: 1, Redundant

    they might surrender to the germans again in protest.

  9. just goes to show... on New Virus Attacks Via RAR Files · · Score: 1

    that computer users can be their own best anti virus solution.

  10. Re:The response is simple... on Municipal Wi-Fi Battle Moves to Texas · · Score: 1

    " The response is simple:
    If you're from Texas, call your state legislator and urge them to vote against it.
    If you're not from Texas then kindly shut the fuck up."

    everyone is entitled to there own opinion but its getting really old hat for people to bash texas. especially since it is quite clearly the greastest state there is

    hl2 is going the way of duke nukem forever your never ever ever going to get to play it. gordon freeman is dead and you'll never get to bash another head crab again.

  21. how does this affect me? on Longhorn's Copy Protection Standard · · Score: 1

    are these so called secure cds going to have drm that works in *nix oses, cause if they don't it has no affect on me really (other than making me hate micrsoft and riaa more).

  22. consumer costs on Wind Power Falls Under $0.01/kwh · · Score: 1

    so how much would it cost an average joe to run one of these puppies off the grid?

  23. Re:apple's one flaw continues on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 1

    logging in blows goats when all you want to do is make sure you activated the correct jack, thats why god invented link lights. there are a million ways to check for connectivity when logged in most of them much easier then ones you clowns suggested. so basicaly im right and your wrong. macs need link lights, if you don't like link lights dont look at them.

    "You're not much of a troubleshooter if you need an LED to determine if a link is up/down. What's so hard about typing "ifconfig en0" into the Terminal?"

    well because it would be much easier to just plug in the patch cable see a link light and move to the next trouble ticket. its an efficincy thing that and i'm lazy and the less time i spend messing with professor soandso's computer the more time i have to play games in the student work room.
