  1. Re:Wait a Minute! on Indian State Switches to Linux · · Score: 1

    You are right racial segregation *is* prcticed in the US. You will notice that neither the orginal poster nor myself claimed that the pratice was not against the law simply that it is today still practiced. Just as racism is alive and well in the US. Yes CNN does make stuff up but read the article. It rings true. The other point is that yes Hindus do in fact worship cows no matter what kind of a face they try and put on it.

    I'm sure these people will be glad to know that untouchability is not practiced. And I'm sure that all of these stories are just made up.

    And of course CNN is well known for making things up. And I'm sure this
    guy is just making stuff up also. And last but not least this

  3. Re:Macromedia on Moving Your Kids to Linux? · · Score: 1

    It has been about a year since I last tried to visit a nickjr.com website for my son. At that time it certainly did not work well with Mozilla under Linux. And in fact looked very much like it checked for Windows. So what is the real deal?

    You do of course understand that the article is about *radio* and not sound. Don't you?

  6. Re:Most are already fixed on Mozilla: The Good And The Bad · · Score: 1

    In that case XP (which I have not used) is even more evil than I used to think. So I would still have to say that Debian is as or more easy than any sane system.

  7. Re:Most are already fixed on Mozilla: The Good And The Bad · · Score: 2

    Debian. Keep in mind with WindowsUpdate you still have to make an effort to update. You have to click on the wizard go out to the website or whatever. It does not do it without *any8 effort.

    Debian is at least this easy two commands to an updated system.

    for the tournament. But if you want the gameplay of Nethack with rather cool graphics and music try Falconseye

  9. Re:No SCSI on Mandrake Announces Turn-Key Clustering Distribution · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You are , of course, right. But they also have a 3D card included in those specs. Seems odd to me. I'm thinking those must be the specs for the master node. (It has been a long time since I've thought about clusters not sure if that is the right term but I think you know what I mean) In any case it looks like someone is confused/wrong on this.

    Odds are you are using one of the modern translations. Sam Jackson was quoting the KJV. Taken as literature the KJV is *much* cooler.

    What is a cathlic last I checked the Vatican was owned and ran by the Catholic church.

    The counterscript is fun and easy.

  13. Re:So this is illegal? on Microsoft: You Need Permission to Sell Our Software · · Score: 2

    They are not "legally" able to do so. But they merely use the threat of legal action to make the cost of allowing people to sell them more than the benefit would be for eBay and so eBay, just to avoid the hassle, bans it. So while they would not have a legal leg to stand on they can make it not worth eBay's time to fight them.

    Well last time she put in an apperance she was wiccan and used to go on about how shall I say fun she had with said ex boyfriend. (I just call her she cause that is the way the poster presents themeselves.) In any case yea she used to produce very cool trolls for a time then went away for a while. Maybe shoeboy will come back. I can only hope.

    Nope that is not the place but it was a very similar story. Must be more common than anyone thinks.

  21. Re:Oh my god..tears in my eyes. on Burn A Song For 99 Cents · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No because for me and people like me instead of buying 10 cds to get 10 songs that I like I can now pay $10 and get one cd that I can listen all the way through. This is passing savings onto me. So while I won't be using this cause I don't run winders at home it is still a cool concept.

  22. Re:Too funny. on The Most Dangerous Server Rooms · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh yea. We have several Nokia IPSO boxes that are hooked to *nothing* and more than a few Motorola routers hooked to nada. Now on the subject of floor tiles. It appears that before I started to work here they got a "good" price on raised flooring. At least two people including myself have fallen when the stand bent while we were standing on it. Also when they first moved into the building it seems that a sewer backed up and flooded under the raised floor, to this day I will still find how shall I say debris under there. So I don't touch my face and wash my hands with *hot* water and soap after everytime I have to go under the floor.

    I always thought that when it comes time for passwords to expire that rather than the standard "Your password is going to expire, would you like to change it now?" type message it should say
