  1. Re:Windows apps? on Ask AtheOS Creator Kurt Skauen About His Creature · · Score: 1

    One problem with porting is that those programs are dependant on X or a specific toolkit not available for AtheOS. Another is that AtheOS does not support Pthreads, but someone may port that library in the future for compatibility.

  2. Re:poor web server on Ask AtheOS Creator Kurt Skauen About His Creature · · Score: 1

    Anytime anyone's slashdotted their server is crushed. Amazingly though, his is running AtheOS and Apache.

  3. Big Brother on Aussie ISP Scans Downloads For Copyright Violation · · Score: 1

    This just in: excite@home licenses technology to communist China to filter "copyrighted" (uh'um right...) material.

    Another step towards big brother watching over our shoulders?

  4. We already paid for this! on RIAA To Target CD-R · · Score: 1

    As they fail to mention, for every music quality blank cdr that is purchased, they recieve compensation. That is why "music" CDR's cost alot more than ones specified for data; this fee is also placed on blank cassette tapes.

    And they still complain??!!

    Yes, but do all newbies know what the word BETA means?

  6. Problem? on Mandrake 8.1 Beta1 (Raklet) Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Mandrake is into making polished linux distro's for Newbie users.
    Mandrake releases buggy beta versions on their website.
    Newbie uses download beta version and have major problems, and get mad at mandrake.
    Bad descision guys.

  7. shelving, lots of it. on How Can I Make More Of My Cubicle? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    You can probably get alot of plastic shelving from office depot/etc. which you can stack ontop of your existing file cabinates. If possible, try to get permission to hang items from the drop ceiling.

  8. Re:A Way Around It on Geography, Laws, and the Internet · · Score: 0

    actually it think that's how the CdC thing's going to work, except it will be a network of anonymous P2P proxies so they can't block the one server.

  9. Re:The Great Wall on Geography, Laws, and the Internet · · Score: 0

    Actually, according to (I'd don't remember; was it Lovell in Lost Moon or The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe?) you can't see it from space because it's the same color as the desert around it.

  10. A Way Around It on Geography, Laws, and the Internet · · Score: 0
    I'm sure you remember the program the Cult of the Dead Cow's working on, software to get around these internet barriers.

    Of course it's delayed, but I hope they actually release it eventually.

  11. Ironic on Hotmail Servers Shut Down by Code Red · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Isn't it funny that they used to be running BSD over there?

  12. There were only two options... on Netscape 6.1 · · Score: 1
    There are more options on linux than windows now. The latest: Choice of buggy ie, bloated mozilla/netscape, and opera with ads.

    I'd prefer to have something like konqueror or galeon for windows.

  13. what happened to k-meleon? on Netscape 6.1 · · Score: 1

    talking about k-meleon, what happened to it? i just read about today, but their site is down and i was able to get v.4 from sourceforge..

    yet, kids have the spare time to learn it, something adults with careers and families don't have.

  15. My life was changed with cable on The Rise Of The 15-Year-Olds · · Score: 0

    As soon I got broadband, it took a long time to get off MP3s, movies, and warez before getting back into developing.

    I don't care about the titles, as long as the movie doesn't suck. (Like all but seven seconds of episode 1)

    Leave it to Lucas to ruin his movie empire in just a few years

  20. Migrating Industry & Pollution on Whatever Happened to Internet Redundancy? · · Score: 1
    AsmodeusB: "Yes, bring in the children and other issues that are IN NO WAY RELATED TO THE DEBATE."

    No they aren't, but technically, they are. The chinese have a "communist" government, where industry, commerce, and trade, etc. benefit the government as a whole, the one responsible for all the human rights violations that are not debated. In the scenario where the U.S. government would use a "carbon tax" to help curb our pollution levels, heavilly polluting industries would move to China, Mexico (also considered a "developing" nation by the Kyoto treaty), and other places where they would not be as heavily regulated as in the USA.

    Would this decrease co2 emmisions? No, it might actually increase them. Personally, I do favor a treaty on reducing CO2 emmissions. However, a PER CAPITA level applied to all nations equally would be fairer, would result in less industrial migration, and might even be harsher on the United States.


    Who agrees?

  21. Re:Penalize USA and a free pass to CHINA??? on Whatever Happened to Internet Redundancy? · · Score: 1

    However, not one of you have replied to the point that this will benifit communist china, yes the china that promotes infantcide, let's it's workers live in prison camps, and destroy their own environment with projects such as the 3 gourges dam and other industrial activity. My point is made!

  24. surprisingly... on Why Are Software Rebates Being Rejected? · · Score: 1

    microsoft is really good with sending back rebate checks. the copy of office 2000 that i got for my mom's computer had a rebate, the check came in exactly a month

  25. Napster? Who cares, has anyone heard of IRC on Could This Be The End Of The Internet? · · Score: 1

    I have been trading mp3s and other files using irc for at least five years. If they take out napster and other file sharing programs, we'll still be.. and no one cares. IRC is faster, more realiable, and you can actually RESUME files. Just because a few happy windows kiddies can no longer trade files won't put a dent in the net.
