  1. Re:Title is wrong on Debian Turning 10 · · Score: 1

    Because there is no octal digit 'A'.

  2. Re:I don't mean to whore....but.... on Gentoo 1.4 Final Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    "...a distro that for the first time brings parity between the x86, PPC, and sparc architectures."

    Debian has had a synchronous stable version for Alpha, ARM, Intel x86, Motorola 680x0, PowerPC, and SPARC since mid 2000.
    Most recent stable release supports 11 architectures.

  3. Re:Link to the story that does not require registr on Clock Ticking for Hubble · · Score: 2, Interesting

    unless you read it at a public library

  4. Re:Things I've heard from Audiophiles... on Hydrogenaudio AAC Listening Test Results · · Score: 1

    Grounding to a bucket wouldn't provide any real 'ground' reference or return path, so it has no function other than to remove any kind of user shock protection from the device.

  5. Re:Maximum Overdrive on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1

    The Wall

  6. Re:Mac OS X does not have vector icons on The Definite Desktop Environment Comparison · · Score: 2, Informative

    GNOME 2.2 supports SVG icons everywhere that PNG and others can be used.

  7. Re:What a waste on SETI@Home 2nd Look at Possible Hits · · Score: 1

    The SETI reciever just sets on the Arecibo platform and points whereever it happens to, there is no time devoted for SETI to look at a specific point.

  8. Re:Did something really go "wrong"? on Has GNOME Become LAME? · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should try pressing the TAB key to move around in the filesystem and save ENTER for when you would want to click "OK".

  9. Re:We should scan Dubya on Laser-Scanning U.S. Landmarks · · Score: 1

    Laser eyes.
    Also super-strength.

  10. Re:Speed bumps on Hollywood's DRM Agenda Moving Forward · · Score: 3, Funny

    If you don't buy 7 copies of the same cd CD at a time, the terrorists have won!

  11. Re:Take that MPAA! on Fan-Made Star Trek Episode Available for Download · · Score: 2

    Just because an act isn't prohibited by a particular law, doesn't mean you can't write threatening letters involving that act and that law.

  12. Re:Happiness. on What Should I Do With My Life? · · Score: 1

    There won't be any peace as long as two people are still alive to argue..

  13. Re:Familiar - Another redition on Microsoft Reader Format Cracked · · Score: 2

    Toilet seat up!

  14. Re:I'll wait on Serial ATA, Here and Now · · Score: 2

    One drive per channel.
    Yes.
    These function just like IDE on the interface/software level, so generic IDE drivers should work.

  15. Re:Yet another reason ... on nVidia Unified Drivers Including Linux/FreeBSD · · Score: 2

    The Debian package for the Nvidia drivers is simply a wrapper for the actual download and install of the real drivers, much like that of Realplayer, the flash plugin and the MS fonts.

  16. Re:Nice but... on How the West Wasn't Won · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's true, but for any long-term manned exploration we have to start somewhere, and the Moon is magnitudes closer than the next celestial body.
    I see short-term missions (like those of Apollo) to be useless unless followed-up by some kind of semi-perminant habitation; even if it's just exploration for the sake of exploration.

  17. Re:Nice but... on How the West Wasn't Won · · Score: 2

    Not really.
    Because the Moon has so much less mass than the earth, its gravity well is much smaller and getting off of it is much easier.
    As the saying goes: Once you're outside of the Earth's gravity well, you're halfway to anywhere in the Solar System.

  18. Re:Wow! on Linux Kernel 2.4.20 Released · · Score: 1

    It's duplicates all the way down!

  19. Re:Monopoly Abuse? on Microsoft takes on PDF · · Score: 2

    He didn't say anything about the Democratic Party. Just because the two parties are 'opposed' doesn't mean that they can't both be owned by the same organizations. It's not like the lobbyists don't give equally large amounts to both parties.

  20. Re:MSN 8? on Microsoft Vandalizes NYC · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The feature they're so proud of is that they get your money if you subscribe.

  21. Re:Big mistake on Xandros 1.0 · · Score: 1

    You can also download the linux kernel for free to try this out.

  22. Re:In other news... on GameToo Much...... And Die! · · Score: 1

    You also die after drinking too much water, so the analogy holds true.

  23. Re:Sorry but... on Intel to Build DRM into Next-Generation CPUs · · Score: 1

    Unless "someone else's computer" happens to be a second computer owned by you which can't play your legally obtained media.

  24. Re:Still intolerable licensing terms on Thomson: MP3 Licensing Same As It Ever Was · · Score: 2

    unless your distro is Debian

  25. Re:Read between the lines: on JVC Announces Technology To Prevent Software Copying · · Score: 1

    It's not an 'improvement' to encryption technology, it's an improvement to "please don't copy this or look at the method to copy this" form of copy 'protection'.
