  1. Re:Wow, really impressive on Overclockers "Stick it to the man" · · Score: 1

    Probably, they initially misinterpreted that the overclocker had 3 "D" accelerators and the editor came back with a "shouln't that "D" be "3D", so now the guy has 3 "3D" accelerators.

  2. Re:But ordering a-la-carte is more costly... on IBM & Microsoft Rift · · Score: 0

    This guy must be a M$ plant. No one else would have his attitude. We want Linux first and then choice here at /., Bud. Move on.

  3. Exploder for Linux on MS writing Internet Explorer for Linux? · · Score: 1

    This is good, they need to get some experience under their belt wrting for the next dominant OS. I can't imagine who would use IE though.

    Hey, I got GNOME and I think I like it as much as KDE. Now I'm stradlin. But at work I use NT. I want to convince my boss to let me use Linux as a desktop machine but what could replace the OutLook client for email? I use Netscape with my ISP at home, would it work on the network here?

  4. Re:We're going to get our butts kicked on Mindcraft Fun Continues · · Score: 1

    Maybe, maybe not. But, there is one race they will never beat -- price/performance.

  5. If piracy is the problem.... on India hires elephant to "stomp out piracy" · · Score: 1

    Isn't OSS the solution? This seems really obvious to me. Hey India, get Linux!

  6. I'm so happy on The Cost of Bug Fixes · · Score: 1

    I saved $90 by not buying W98, now I can save $83 by not buying W98StepUp and going straight for RH 6.0 from cheap bytes.

    I'm just rolling in the dough!

  7. what exactly is an Esq? on RMS Immature, Slashdot and Community Arrogant? · · Score: 1

    According to my dic, and esquire is a candidate for knighthood e.g. an attendant to a knight or a shieldbearer

    or

    a member of english gentry ranking just below a knight

    or

    and english gentleman

    or a womans escort

    it didn't say a thing about lawyers, etc

    --shine, software bumpkin

  8. Can the benchmark be reproduced on Few Quickies · · Score: 1

    Can anybody with the same equipment and software reproduce the test? I wouldn't trust M$ but OTOH Ellison shouldn't let his mouth get him in such trouble. Let's get "John Henry" out there and see if he can pound the spikes.

  9. Appendix A: Windows Source Code on Seriously Overpriced Books · · Score: 1

    I'd bet Steve Balmer bought a copy and even had Bill autograph it.

  10. What's he trying to sell and to whom? on Wired on Kipling · · Score: 1

    "Hacker is the term in common parlance,"
    countered Larry Lein, executive vice
    president of Kipling USA. "If you asked me
    what a cracker was, I'd say someone who
    lived in a trailer park down South."

    What a mrketing wizzard. He might have better luck selling burlap bags to the trailer park set.

  11. When leisure suit larry made the challenge,MS said on Microsoft Wants $1M of Larry Ellison · · Score: 1

    What, you mean you don't have one at your home?

  12. Does this come with Windoze? on The $299 PC · · Score: 1

    Not that I'd want it with Windoze but, if it cost $300 with Windoze, maybe it could cost a $40-$50 less with that fine creation of RMS and Linus and the wonderful and beloved cast of thousands.

  14. Lawyers Suck on Linux and Lawyers · · Score: 1

    and then a 95 year old, half blind woman runs into you with her car, a 55 Rambler American, after running through a stop sign, cripples you, and you are left with no income, no job, huge hospital bills and great pain.

    Then, a lawyer is your friend.

  15. Nah on ESR On O'Reilly Summit · · Score: 1

    I don't think you can sit between ESR and RMS. RMS defined free software and provide the GNU license to make it work. ESR is just sugarcoating it to make it palatable to business. I doubt RMS cares whether business uses it or not.

  16. New stuff! on Custom Slashdot Update · · Score: 1
