  1. Re:I think it is a good idea not to update quickly on Debian 3.0r6 Released · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you want to use Linux for your desktop. Debian stable wasn't meant to be a desktop distribution. Go use unstable. In spite of its name, it's not that unstable.

  2. Re:Wary of title.... on Google Launches Summer of Code · · Score: 2, Funny

    I thought you said that Stallman is a good source of Vitamin D for a moment, and all I could think about was how disgusting all that hair would be to eat.

    > So a million parents worldwide have bought RE4 for their kids?
    Zombie-killing parents need educational tools for their children as well. Some of us actually want to prepare our kids for the rapture.

  8. Secure keyboards on Phishers Using Keystroke Loggers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I think it's time we started seeing encrypted keyboards, particularly if they're coupled with flash drives. With USB so abundant, finding a place to plug in shouldn't be too much of a hassle. The keyboard could contain the private key, and the flash drive would contain the public key, and the decryption would take place on the application level (e.g. PuTTy).

  9. Re:Maybe they can plead down... on Crackdown on BT Users in Hong Kong · · Score: 1

    For a second there, I thought you said Manhunt, and here I was thinking that one got a video game in Hong Kong for committing a crime.

    Actually, it's more like this:

    Mike: "Jimmy! Pull your rip cord!"

    Jimmy: "WHAT?" (staring at the screen)

    Mike: "For the love of god..." (starts writing on the screen)

    Jimmy: "Oh, that, right."

  12. Re:Balmer takes 5 years to change his mind on Microsoft to Support Linux in Virtual Server · · Score: 1

    Let me turn this question around: How can they subvert Linux like the subverted Java? It's not as though they appropriate Linux like they did with Java.

  13. Re:If you're stuck with one of these... on Firms Get Away with Selling Untested DRAM · · Score: 1

    If someone is lucky she might obtain perfectly good memory at a cheap price, but does one make a living gambling in Los Vegas?

  14. Re:So-called "Conversatives" want more regulation on San Francisco Attempts to Regulate Blogging · · Score: 1

    The choice of what "marriages" are acknowledged by the state should be based on the preference of the electorate in that state.

    So what happens to the Full Faith and Credit clause of the Constitution? What happens when two states' definitions of marriage conflict? There is also the question of the federal government's definition as well. It's important for things like taxes.

  15. Re:So-called "Conversatives" want more regulation on San Francisco Attempts to Regulate Blogging · · Score: 1

    Individual "gays" can marry the same as individual straight folks. There are no more or fewer restrictions on them. A marriage is between a man and a woman -- always has been. Gay men are welcome to marry women and gay women are welcome to marry men. It's equal rights for all individuals.

    Why do conservatives keep putting up this straw man? Why is the state forcing their definition of "marriage" unto the people? Why not let individuals decide for themselves what the meaning of marriage is? Allowing individuals to see words with different meanings is also a part of speech. Marriage should be defined by individuals.

    I've seen some people run to "God" to define marriage. Well, I don't believe in "God," so that shouldn't affect me. I'll define marriage as I wish, thank you very much.

  16. Re:The tyranny of the majority hurts Debian on Record Low Turnout in Debian Leadership Election · · Score: 1

    You can't blame them for trying. The entire project was Ian Murdock's experiment in software, and when it was still small, democracy worked out really well.

  17. Re:I don't know what's sadder... on Imax Theaters Demur On Controversial Science Films · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Your job would not be so frustrating if you simply treated your theory as it is - a theory.

    Then you don't understand what scientists are talking about when they're talking about theories. A theory is a concept that has a mountain of evidence to support it. To throw that evidence out, and put forth a different idea that does not have that body of evidence supporting it would be like convicting a person of a crime without looking at any evidence at the crime scene.

  18. Re:WikiParadox on Wikipedia Reaches Half a Million Articles · · Score: 1

    I think that Wikipedia needs a review complement to it. There should be a group that takes a snapshot of Wikipedia at a particular time, and has various experts review pages in their particular field, and make any necessary changes (which would subsequently be merged back into the regular Wikipedia). This snapshot could then be print published.

    That would, at least, bring more credibility and notoriety.

  19. Re:DNF on Hurd/L4 Developer Marcus Brinkmann Interviewed · · Score: 2, Funny

    GNU is hoping to release this opposite the release of Longhorn, and 3d Realms has a deal with both GNU and Microsoft to have a port ready for both operating systems.

    "It's secure!" says one message. "It's not secure!" says another, and back and forth as such.

    Wow, /. seems really confused over Linux lately.

    You might want to look into KDevelop. It does a lot of the things that you mention, and does them really well.

  23. SSA... on GCC 4.0 Preview · · Score: 1

    I know that SSA isn't a new piece of technology, even though it is new to GCC. I'm just wondering what other compilers have been using it, because I don't know. I tried googling for it, but all I could find was information about GCC.

    This is an honest question, not a troll.

    I'm not going into nursing, but the university that I'm attending is very well known for its nursing college, and it does actually have some programs to try to encourage males to enter the field.
