  1. Good Thing (TM) on ESR Invited To 'Advise' USPTO · · Score: 1

    Even though ESR is probably not the best choice to put in.. but it's a step in the right direction.. I'm sure he'll give his opinions about everything unholy in the patent office... =)

    It's definately a step in the right direction

  2. Doh.. JFS breaks NFS on IBM releases JFS to GPL · · Score: 1

    I'm running 2.2.15pre5 right now.. and the JFS breaks NFS.. it gets a conflicting types for 'buffermem'... DOH!

    Since I'm a perl hacker, and not a c hacker... this is not quite an easy fix for me..
    anyone out there got a fix... (besides turning off NFS)

  3. Sigma Designs is NOT porting the H+ on More Companies Jump on the Linux Train · · Score: 1

    I was surfing the newsgroups from sigma designs.. I am also an owner of the H+ DVD Decoder.. They are not releasing a linux driver for this product.. they are releasing a linux driver for a _future_ product and not the H+..
    This really sucks..
    Write sigmadesigns and tell them we want an H+ Driver.

    My favorite spam was a spam about buying your college degree from a non-accredited college.

  9. Halloween Wine on WINE 991031 (Hallowine) Released · · Score: 2

    This version is a GREAT improvement over all other wines I've seen..
    With this version, I got EXCEL to work (even after I placed a chart in there), WinAMP, Word, ICQ (although the network didn't work), and other programs to work.
    Plus they must have redid the font support.. Fonts were PERFECTLY clear...

    This version rocked.

  10. Vint Cerf on ICANN Board Election Results · · Score: 2

    Vinton Cerf is the coolest guy I have ever heard speak. I think he is the best choice to be in there... Hell.. He invented TCP/IP. On a side note when he came to speak at purdue, he said his dog wears a shirt that says "IP on Everything". But... I don't see him having a lot of power now adays on the internet.. He made a big push to roll out IPv6 a while back and no one listened.. But.... Vinton is definately the best choice for the US. ChiefArcher

  16. Hollywood Plus on DVD for Linux · · Score: 1

    I have a Hollywood Plus Mpeg decoder card... Supposively, by the end of the year they'll have binary drivers/apps out... That's what the news groups seem to be telling people.. They're just anally slow about doing anything though... I love the card, but I'm really disappointed at the company itself.. Anyone working on drivers out there? /me needs to pick up C a little better.

  19. bashing = great? on Linus and Bill at Comdex · · Score: 1

    The bashing.. it really wasn't bashing at all... It was more at takeing hits at microsoft itself..
    He was saying that they make glityz programs.. but that doesn't cut it.

    He went over to say that their programs are buggy because they don't have the love that linux programmers do for their kernel and user space. He was pointing out people need to care...

    I dunno... I thought it was great.

  20. I saw Linus on Linus and Bill at Comdex · · Score: 1

    I went to the speach.. It was GREAT! Linus was an excellent speaker....
    It was basicly a 1 hr microsoft bashing event..

    He made a reference that star office looked so much like the microsoft suite, confused people actually save their documents before they print..

    It was very cool
