  1. Perens needs to go on SCO Offers $250K Bounty for MyDoom Author's Arrest · · Score: 1

    Contrast Linus with Perens, one is an annointed God in the open source pantheon, the other is a self-appointed loudmouth for the open source movement.

  2. Norway 'protects' ? on "DVD-Jon" Demands Compensation · · Score: -1, Troll

    But Norway does NOT protect its citizens from theft of their property and rights by other citizens, if and when enough other citizens acquires the magic title of Majority. Your post is obviously an anti-US troll, anti-business troll. For one thing, a judge cannot 'assign changes in the system'. Your 'individual liberty' may include such non-concepts as 'freedom from hunger', but its often people who espouse such statements that are the greatest threat to actual liberty - property rights.

  3. Yes, they did learn on Linux Centrino Driver Update · · Score: 1

    that people will buy it, specifically BECAUSE it has 'Win' in front of it - it must work with Windows, right? hey, and its cheaper than YOUR weird 'non-Win' version. And I get $300 off the price of my system if I buy MSN for 3 years. And ... ooh, a shiny thing!

    Face it, people are sheep. I can only take comfort in that they'll inherit the world that they're demanding.

    When the last computer geek is out of a job, when the last hardware modem is sold, when the last packet is sent unfiltered, all in the name of 'rapid application deployment', or 'security' or 'cost-effectiveness', the sheeple will have nobody to turn to. The magnitude of their folly will be revealed to them in a blinding flash, and at last the devices of their enemies will be laid bare. And there will be nobody to save them.

  4. Warning: Reuters link requires Java on Scam Combines Patriot Act FUD With IE Bug · · Score: 1

    WTF? A Java-enabled news story? Ugh. The AP link is much cleaner, and quicker loading.

  5. No mod points, but... on Kazaa to Sue Movie, Record Companies · · Score: 1

    +1, Insightful

  6. Hi, I'm stupid on Fort N.O.C.'s Security in Obscurity · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    And I think that DNS is centralized.
    And I think that more government interference with the Internet is Good.
    And I believe FUD.
    And that Al Gore is pretty technical guy.
    And I use AOL on my 'puter.

    Please send more informative articles like this. I use them to line the insides of my tinfoil hats.

    Thank you very much.

  7. Re:I'm sorry, but this is kind of lame. on Review - Mac OS X Server 10.3, Part 1 · · Score: 1

    So... what does Kerberos do for me ? Besides let me say that "I run Kerberos" ? I'm talking real, actual value, as opposed to PHB-compliance.

  8. Re:It would have to run Solaris on Sun Sparc 5 Nostalgia · · Score: 1

    Except that this has NOTHING to do with the 'engineering' of PCs, but rather the OS running on them. Ever take your U5 apart? It looks like ... a PC inside! Same crappy IDE disk, same crappy video. It's a Known Fact (TM) that on that level of hardware, Linux spanks Solaris. Win95 may have crapped out when you put it up against Solaris 8, but again, that's the OS talking, not the hardware.

  9. Re:Sneaking in on a good thing. on Forbes Sympathizes with Poor, Abused Fax.com · · Score: 1

    You're new here, aren't you. ;-) This quote, like the Gandh quote, is thrown around here all the time.

  10. Typical OSNews article on Sun Sparc 5 Nostalgia · · Score: 1

    -1, Redundant, Sparc 5 != Sun Ultra 5
    As everyone knows, OSNews is a pinnacle of journalistic quality and integrity. Coming up next, an article on how to change the colors in CDE once you get that 'ancient' Ultra 5 running. Followed by a rant about how difficult it is to compile GAIM or XMMS on Solaris 8.

  12. Stop using the word "munge"! on Is E-Mail Obscuration Worth It? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Otherwise you end up sounding like that cocksucker Eddie Gilbert.

  13. Actually, no on Lawsuit Filed Against Unregulated GloFish · · Score: 1

    They are native to America. You linked to a Google page, but didn't read any of the pages? Jeesh.

  14. Re:Noam Chomsky lecture on What Was the Very First MP3 You Downloaded? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe it's because he has little of value to say, that the compression algorithms were able to compress it so well?

  15. At least on Walking Through SkyOS 5.0 Beta · · Score: 4, Funny

    it wasn't reviewed on OSNews. Had it been, there would have been snide comments on package management, anti-aliased screen fonts, and the color scheme used for the 'Recycle Bin' icon. And Eugenia would have tried to build a custom version of GAIM, and failing dependencies would have caused another tantrum.

  16. Re:The perils of creationism on Mars Rover Rolls And Turns · · Score: 1

    Please justify this crap. Sources???

  17. Re:Simple on Canadians Pay Extra For Their Wireless Hardware · · Score: 1

    "Maybe the cell phone purchase and plan purchase should be decoupled (as I believe it is in Europe) and then many customer problems would disappear."

    -1, everything's-better-in-Europe troll

  18. Old News on Novell Offers Linux Users Legal Indemnity · · Score: -1, Troll

    Read this on Yahoo! News a few hours ago. Welcome to Slashdot, ever the relevant news rehasher.

  19. Re:Linux "Switcher" CD's on Knoppix Variant Offers Full NTFS Write Support · · Score: 1

    Except that Bruce Perens is just a talking head, as seen by that fact that he 'manages' and 'organizes' but doesn't 'produce'.

  20. GPL! Ha! on Linux for Asia: Asianux · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Let's just see how well the GPL does in these countries, especially in China where piracy is rampant, and there is no such thing as private property (it's the definition of Communism, get over it flamers). Human (property) rights have never been terribly important in Asia, maybe we'll have to send in Stallman and Theo to get pissy at them when they uber-up the Linux kernel and don't publish their changes.

    -1 Flamebat, +1 Cynical, or +1 Prophetic? You decide.

  21. Darwin's Law on Air Bag Blocks Spirit's Path · · Score: 1

    Yes, but let all the mouth-breathers out there continue to ride sans seatbelt, and think how nicer it will be for the rest of us! Clear out the gene pool I say.

  22. OSNews? Let it go... on Performance Benchmarks of Nine Languages · · Score: 1

    Please let this site end up in the Internet dustbin with all the other crappy 'I installed the OS so now I am a reviewer' sites. What value do they actually provide? Deprive this hag of page hits and she'll go away.

    I don't measure penis size by slashdot ID or by karma points. I'm glad that my pointing out a logical fallacy in the summary of the article has given you such entertainment.
