  1. Re:still not using grub2? on Fedora 16 To Use Btrfs Filesystem By Default · · Score: 1

    Grub2 seems to be very not well liked by a number of users and distros.

  2. Why? on Silverlight Developers Rally Against Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Why would anyone lock themselves into a walled garden that is Microsoft? Sure you can claim Windows tech and development tools coming from Microsoft gives you access to 85% of the desktop market. But with you are locking yourself in and closing the door on the fastest growing segments of the market, i.e. Mobile and tablet computing. If you are so naive to believe anything coming from any company pertaining to the bright future of their products and your missing out on the riches that follows then you and/or your company have no one to blame but you know who....

    3) Stop believing in crap opinion pieces by random know-nothings on the web.

    Right on and so true.......

  4. Re:MOD PARENT UP. on GRUB 1.99 Released With Support For ZFS and BtrFS · · Score: 1

    That is both a hilarious joke and a very insightful take on the progression of GRUB; from my perspective, GRUB seems to be getting a little complicated for a bootloader. It's starting to make me nostalgic for LILO and Loadlin...

    LILO is still around, Its my boot manger because its Slackware default boot manager. It works like a charm....

  5. Ahh Rambus on Appeals Court Throws Out Rambus Patent Ruling · · Score: 1

    Seeing as Rambus the old school patent troll is still in the news a decade later, puts a smile on my face. Time to dig up some 8 to10 year slashdot stories about Rambus suing any company that made ram back in the day.....

  6. The Firefox I used to know.... on Firefox 5 In Aurora Channel · · Score: 1

    The Firefox I used to know was a focused, speedy and stable little browser that did its job really well and could be extended to do even more. But how time changes things now when I want a fast speedy and stable browsing experience I load up Chrome when I'm working in Linux and gasp IE9 overtook Firefox as the browser of choice for speed and stability when working under Windows 7. I tried FF4 since the early betas, and yes the speed is good at first but since the fonts are out of wack on my system with FF4 I need to turn off hardware acceleration which makes FF4 lose its sexiness and why I downgraded back to Firefox 3.6.16. Please return to your roots Firefox I miss you.

  7. Re:Latest releases on GNOME vs. KDE: the Latest Round · · Score: 1

    Moreover, 'the differences in KDE 4.6 and GNOME 3 (the latest releases)

    GNOME's latest release is actually 2.32. Version 3 wasn't released yet.

    Gnome 3 will be released tomorrow... As such there have been a few beta releases of Gnome 3 in the wild that have been reviewed...

  8. Re:Too bad on Texas Site Pushes Back Known Settlement Date For North America · · Score: 1

    I for one like Texas text books at least the Texas history books are not racist anymore by way of exclusion. They made American History books include more early and essential Black and Native leaders and figureheads than in past textbooks.

  9. Re:Well, POOP! on AT&T To Acquire T-Mobile From Deutsche Telekom · · Score: 1

    I have been a loyal T-Mobile customer for 8 years, and I've NEVER regretted the move for a single second.

    I pay $50 a month for nation-wide no roaming coverage, 500 texts, IM, international calling, 600 free anytime minutes and free nights and weekends.

    I pay $50 a month for nation-wide,I get paid roaming coverage with Verizon, free roaming on Sprints network, Unlimited texts, IM, international calling, Unlimited minutes .

    NOBODY has a deal as good as that for what you get. Not Verizon, not AT&T, not Sprint...nobody.

    My deal beats your deal IMHO....

  10. Re:UI is still sluggish on Firefox 4 RC1 Released · · Score: 1

    Thanks for saving me the trouble , SRware is nothing more than Chrom(e)ium with a light editing of build options and source code.

  11. Re:Hitachi Deathstar on Hard Disk Sector Consolidates Amid Uncertain Future · · Score: 1

    Hitachi must be doing something right, I read in a article that google uses Hitachi by choice in its data-centers, and http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/hdd-reliability-storelab,2681-4.html seems to say Hitachi are the most durable and reliable HDs out there.... YMMV

  12. Re:Pet Peeve on Firefox 4 Beta 12 Released; Fixes Over 650 Bugs · · Score: 2

    Now fonts will be rendered using the Windows font rendering system and not whatever horrible piece of shit Firefox 4 uses for hardware acceleration.

    Not a Mozilla issue, but an issue with Microsoft's DirectWrite. IE9 looks the same.

    Funny thing is I never had and/or have this issue with IE9 beta at all.....

    This was for your own protection fellow Americans, the greater good was served and no harm was done, also think of the children! Any mistakes done in our mission to save you from yourselves is not our faults.

  16. Re:Idiots... on The Most Violent Video Games of All Time · · Score: 1

    Video games are among the best ways yet invented for keeping children from using the television to watch the news, an action which exposes them to a seamy world of corruption, pestilence, brutal exploitation, slavery, lust, violence, and savage, inevitable, death. The idyllic gameworld, on the other hand, offers a few PG-13 "situations", some morally unambiguous violence, and a world were death is a temporary setback. Video games are protecting the children!

    Just plain awesome!
