  1. Good strategy by Microsoft on Microsoft Threatens To Withdraw Windows in S.Korea · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is a clever strategy on the part of Microsoft. The Koreans will be brought to their knees when they realize they need Windows to play Starcraft.

  2. Re:Strange... on Does Visual Studio Rot the Brain? · · Score: 1

    Not sure why you were modded a troll here. Your post was pretty insightful I thought.

  3. Re:Makers of D&D? on Coding and Roleplaying - Is There a Connection? · · Score: 1

    Makers != Creators
    Makers == Publishers

  4. Re:Neat, but... on Tux Can Even Milk Cows! · · Score: 1

    While it's interesting that Linux has moved into the barnyard, it still has a way to go before it facilitates sex with a mare. Disappointing.

  5. Re:Young people? on Linux Instant Messengers · · Score: 1

    In Korea, only old people work for Korea.

  6. Re:Cheap? on Building The Ultimate Home Theater PC · · Score: 1

    With 5 SCSI drives running, that thing must be as loud as a mofo though.

  7. Re:What about the elderly? on Who Cares if Analog TV Goes Dark? · · Score: 1

    You should have worked the "In Korea..." joke in there somehow.

  8. Re:.NET dying? on Ballmer: 'We'll catch Google' · · Score: 1

    I agree! This is a graph based on what? Book sales??

    There is a shitload of java related books out there. There are far fewer published .NET titles.

    Is the number of books sold on a particular development platform really indicative of the sucess or penetration of that particular technology?

    I'd prefer to see some more quantitative hard stats on platform deployment(like Netcraft confirming it!) before leaping to any conclusions.

  9. Re:Xen on Kernel 2.6.12 Released · · Score: 1

    If you're ignorant like me, and don't know what Xen is... its VM software that allows you to run multiple operating systems concurrently with close to native performance.

  10. Re:What's the difference of posted ISOs? on Fedora Core 4 Available · · Score: 1

    The i386, x86_64 and ppc distributions are the binary relases compiled for the respective CPU platform. You probably want to download one of these distributions based on what you're using for hardware.

    The SRPMS are RPM source code distributions which are obviously platform independant.

  11. Re:Public needs to be more supporting on Steering Wheel Checks Alcohol Consumption · · Score: 1

    Fuck, tell that to the guy who's lawn I passed out on while trying to walk home last Friday.

  12. Re:This submission smells funny on Engineers Have More Sons, Nurses More Daughters · · Score: 1

    It's his kind of subject material. All thats missing are the links to www.primidi.com.

  13. Re:Jon Katz? on Technology Paradise Lost · · Score: 1

    Go, go, wikipedia! Jon Katz

  14. Re:But I don't *want* a cell phone that plays musi on Bill Gates: Cellphone will Beat iPod · · Score: 1

    Why do companies keep bringing out these all singing and dancing products that do everything under the sun? I don't think people want one gadget that does everything. Would you want a machine that combines all these into one package. It can be (and I think has been) done, but would you *want* it?

    I think they would, you've pretty much described a PC.

  15. Re:f(x) = wit / 2 on Due Next Year: Dell's 19-inch Laptop · · Score: 1

    I believe Swanson has hack out for those with laps too narrow to handle this bad boy.

  16. Re:Your franchise is dead when... on No Need For Trek Anymore · · Score: 1

    I believe it confirms it.

  17. Re:perfect way out on Lucas Confirms Star Wars spin-off TV series · · Score: 1

    Hopefully the series will include the long awaited cameo of Natalie Portman, naked, petrified and covered in hot grits.

  18. Re:It's Dvorak, thus crap. on Why Did Adobe Buy Macromedia? · · Score: 1

    600+ posts on /. indicates his ideas are worth discussion. He gets paid for writing controversial speculation, not to necessarily be right or even informed about the topic.

  19. Re:They can have Enterprise on Is Enterprise Heading To Canada? · · Score: 1

    Corner Gas is the first significantly successful Canadian-produced sitcom in decades
    What about The Trailer Park Boys?
    They even show it (heavily edited) on BBC America in the U.S.

  20. Re:The REAL ULTIMATE GAMING TABLE! on Ultimate RPG Gaming Table · · Score: 1

    I agree! That thing is awesome! Mod parent up!

  21. Re:SATA Drives on Red Hat Fedora Core 4 Test 1 Now Available · · Score: 1

    I have to say, FC3 with its 2.6 kernel supported SATA a lot better than the commercial RHEL3 with its 2.4 stuff. In one case I ended up having to go with FC3 over RHEL3 for this reason.
    Fortunately RHEL4 released last month fixed this issue.

  22. Re:DNS Resolve Issue on Red Hat Fedora Core 4 Test 1 Now Available · · Score: 1

    Interesting. I thought I was the only one who was having that problem because my installation was screwy. Once in a while on my FC3 desktop the resolver will refuse to look up certain addresses for no apparent reason.

  23. Re:Coldfusion still wins my heart on PHP 5 Power Programming · · Score: 2, Informative

    There's ADOdb, a database abstraction layer for PHP. It supports a long list of different database drivers.

  24. Re:Off-topic grammar rant on Only 15% of Gamers are Internet Addicts · · Score: 1

    The above poster is completely correct. The use of the prefix "ir" and the suffix "less" on a single word is totally redundant.

  25. Re:News on Mount St. Helens Shoots Steam, Ash · · Score: 1

    Come on, at least the link is on the CBC
