    That's a list of what I usually need when I setup a new Linux PC. Sure, I gradually add more stuff, but that, alone, should be more than enough and there are obviously things to remove from that list in many situations.

  2. Re:ARWINSS on ReactOS Presented To Russian President Putin · · Score: 1

    You know that you can have a POSIX subsystem in the Windows architecture, right? I'm no fan of how Windows is made, but I see a place in the world for this wonderful project. A FLOSS reimplementation of something is always well-received.

    Shh, you'll insult him.

  4. Re:Microsoft did more on Linux Played a Vital Role In Discovery of Higgs Boson · · Score: 1

    When I talk about Free I talk about being able to dive in the kernel to find backdoors. BANG.

  5. C++ too on Linux Played a Vital Role In Discovery of Higgs Boson · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yup, C++ too. They couldn't make it out of thin air -- now everybody wants a bit of success.

  6. Re:Recursive? on The PHP Singularity · · Score: 1

    Exactly.

  7. Re:Recursive? on The PHP Singularity · · Score: 2

    Wine was originally WINdows Emulator, but they changed it for at least two obvious reasons.

  8. Re: on A New C Standard Is On the Way · · Score: 1

    Because, sometimes, you want to get out of bounds! Seriously, though, it's because it's not that simple, maintaining the good o'l efficiency.

  9. Re:That has been done before on A Turing Machine Built With Lego, And a Place To Put It · · Score: 1

    Yes, at university, a great professor showed us this video.

  10. Re:Desperation on SourceForge Allura Submitted To the Apache Software Foundation Incubator · · Score: 1

    My opinion is as valid as yours ( I assume you've used both too, and that you don't have prejudice against any of them). I'm not saying I'm right, I'm saying I feel that GitHub is far superior -- for my needs.

  11. Re:How does this affect us? on SourceForge Allura Submitted To the Apache Software Foundation Incubator · · Score: 1

    I personally feel that it is.

  12. Re:Desperation on SourceForge Allura Submitted To the Apache Software Foundation Incubator · · Score: 1

    I actually do feel that GitHub is far superior. And I mean faaaaaaaar.

  13. Re:Always seems to work on Torvalds Slams NVIDIA's Linux Support · · Score: 1

    Some versions of bumblebee work here. Right now I run my own modified version and am actually scared of trying to update it. However, I have no UEFI startup manager. I am actually glad, because the thought of UEFI makes me want to puke.

  14. How does this affect us? on SourceForge Allura Submitted To the Apache Software Foundation Incubator · · Score: 1

    That's all I really want to know.

  15. Re:Problems? Really? on Torvalds Slams NVIDIA's Linux Support · · Score: 1

    You just made my day.

  16. Re:2.2 version no ads. on Skype 4.0 For Linux Now Available · · Score: 1

    Exactly. I, for one, as an occasional skype-to-skype user, very much plan to stay with my version -- It just works.

  17. Re:Oh Linux... on Skype 4.0 For Linux Now Available · · Score: 2

    Exactly. Skype uses an interface, it shouldn't adapt to webcams -- that paart of the implementation. As far as I know, most webcams out there are also supported implementation-side. What *could* happen is a misuse of the interface by Skype. For the record, I never had issues with my 4 webcams in skype, though I really don't videochat that much.

  18. Re:Too tame to be real Torvaldsian answers on Linus Torvalds Awarded the Millenial Technology Prize · · Score: 1

    And I got so puzzled that I wrote "not see hear" as a monkey myself.

    Yes, I found it odd not see hear about masturbating monkeys.

    True.

    Blow.....up?

  22. Re:Crappy AMD drivers?! on AMD/ATI Video Drivers: Unsafe At Any Speed · · Score: 0

    I had around 7 different AMD/ATI cards on 7 different machines. All of them turned to crap. Chose NVIDIA -- have had 9 of those and none has had problems.

  23. Re:Good to Know on Judge Rules API's Can Not Be Copyrighted · · Score: 2

    Not only awesome, but I think a requirement. How can you judge about what you know nothing about in a timespan not appropriate for you to learn about it, or without the ability to learn it?

  24. Re:Good to Know on Judge Rules API's Can Not Be Copyrighted · · Score: 1

    Of course, and I didn't say that what you're saying wasn't true! This would, of course, have been massive, you are absolutely (and knowingly) right.

  25. Re:Good to Know on Judge Rules API's Can Not Be Copyrighted · · Score: 1

    Of course. This seemed like the logical thing to do, though. Copyrighting APIs? Crazy, IMO!
