  1. Linus can take all of the time he wants... on Linus Does Not Scale · · Score: 1

    I don't give a rats ass how long it takes linus to apply a patch. Linus does a wonderful job and I know he has my best interest in mind when doing that job. It is only a kernel for god sakes and it does just about everything it needs to do today and does it well. I care about stability nothing more nothing less. You can't just go yanking around with a stable codebase with a bunch of poorly tested patches and hope for the best, it just does not work like that.

  2. A Alternative to Kylix on Borland Kylix/JBuilder License Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Hey everyone get your panties up in a wad or do something about it and go contribute to the lazarus project. It is a clean room implementation of the delphi IDE for linux and is damn close to being very good.

    Now are you going to bitch or are you going to code. The problem is that delphi and many kylix developers want someone to do everyting for them. So how about for a change do the right thing and go help out the guys that want to build a great free product for you to use every bit as good as kylix.

  3. DOJ Employee on Microsoft Caught Rigging ZD Net Poll · · Score: 1

    It is damn obvious to me that you work for the DOJ.

  4. One Acronym NAT! on Geolocation Enables Internet Borders · · Score: 1

    Oh yea what if I am using NAT through a buddies linux box in the U.K? oops looks like a new technology foiled again. As a matter of fact would it not be cool if someone coded a little nat bounce client say for instance us(nat)->fr(nat)->uk(nat)

  5. 5000 ft != MILE on Ethernet Over Assorted Materials · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think it is just short of a mile, thus the technology is nothing more than hype. It is the last 20 miles that need to be addressed not the last 5000 ft.

  6. Read the ruling on CA Appeals Court Upholds Spam Law · · Score: 1

    Just put in ADV in the subject line and spam all you wish. I will never see any of it due to my client routing all ADV to my trash but hey sounds fair to me..

  7. Nice Starband Hack on Satellite Command Security? · · Score: 1

    Yea nobody has a big antenna that can transmit a signal to satellite. Just how big of a attenna do you think you need. The one in my yard is not that big and with a little hacking probably would do the job nicely. Hell you reading this message means that I can already transmit a signal to a bird. Only obscurity for the command protocol, you must be kidding. Bo ha ha ha ha

  8. Kylix will reach critical mass on 10 Linux Predictions For 2002 · · Score: 1

    I forsee Kylix reaching critical mass this year as a tool for desktop development. This is going to lead to a huge downturn in gnome usage due to it's QT ties. The Kylix community is just about done kicking the tires and I know of quite a few serious apps about to be released built with it.

  9. Re:The reason this doesn't affect *nix on Clever New Windows Worm · · Score: 1

    And what is your ip address idiot...

  10. Well Damn Don't Stop Now on Clever New Windows Worm · · Score: 1

    Boy the scriptz kidz got them on a roll today, don't stop now. We have had to update virus definitions three times already today.

  12. First BOFH! on Great points in Usenet history · · Score: 1

    Man he did not mention the most important link on the page...First BOFH. Or was I supposed to say First Post?

  13. I hate to say it but!! on Evolution 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Man I usually tolerate differing opinions very well but you my freind are a idiot. XML-RPC is about a PLATFORM NEUTRAL rpc calling method. It has nothing whatsover to do with a firewall. When you are sitting at your desk with your IE browser and hit that submit button you are doing nothing more than xml-rpc does, so how is that circumventing a firewall?? (gawd I hate users)

  14. xml-rpc interface for MS CDO Objects on Evolution 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Gents I do not have time to hack it together but it would also be damn easy to expose ms cdo via xml-rpc to provide a exchange connector.

  15. Sorry on Evolution 1.0 Released · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    spouting off before I read the message

  16. phpGroupWare has xml-rpc on Evolution 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    This is already in the works and you can also download a windows and linux client written in delphi and kylix that hooks to phpGroupWare. Check out their website they have links to the downloads.

  17. No Network == Junk on Sharp Ships New PDA Running Linux 2.4 · · Score: 1

    Until I can hook the agenda to a wireless network it is nothing more than a piece of desk junk.

  18. BUT! on Hydrogen Micro Turbine Only 4mm In Diameter · · Score: 1

    That was the theory the fact is that no one has built a self sustaining model. The turbine you are thinking of is a bladeless design.

  19. Network? on First Looks at Linux DA PDA · · Score: 1

    Until they support wireless with these things it is just like buying another expensive watch. I have a agenda but until it does wireless it just sits on my desk lifeless.

  20. Re:Kylix? on Portable Coding and Cross-Platform Libraries? · · Score: 1

    Right the resulting code looks not maintainable. Every feature you mention is not necessary in any application at any time. As for stability and using less code I do not beleive that poop either. This is a typical response from a person that thinks they can code object pascal.

  21. US Navy on How Did You Become a UNIX Administrator? · · Score: 1

    I spent 10 years in the navy. The whole time they made me sit behind a hp unix box with nothing to really do on it except run the software that started by default. Well after a few years I got bored and started hacking on the system. At the 10 year point I was offered a job by a DOD contractor that built and maintained the system.

  22. Hurt the economy my ass on Public Comment Period In MS/DOJ Battle · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes it would hurt the economy for a few brief moments in time and the a massive explosion of
    growth like we have never seen before would occur. This would in turn revive the job market in the tech sector. Spending would be diversified amoung competing companies not the entire IT budget going to on company as it does today.

  23. Harms the economy not helps on MS Settlement: Six States (And Samba) Say "Stop!" · · Score: 2, Funny

    Leaving MS to continue the same behavior seriously harms the economy not helps it. Of course harsh restrictions on MS would in the short term hurt but it would cause explosive growth in the industry. Right now a single company receives the earnings of most of the it industry budget and that is a harmful thing. Removing them from power would increase the job market and diversify spending.

  24. Re:Limit advertising budget on Massachusetts Holds Out On MS Case · · Score: 1

    Ok lets take your idea just a little further. A good solution is to place a advertising cap on them. They have gained monopoly status through creative marketing tactics, so to eliminate this just place a advertising cap on them.

  25. Re:Now enhance H1B program, too... on Senate Trashes Civil Liberties; House to Vote Today · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Better yet send all of their sorry asses back home. H1B holders are the parasite of the US IT work force. We have citizens out of jobs and they keep bringing in more and more of these low skilled half assed programmers.
