  2. Re:Traditional vs simplifed chinese (not!) on Linux Continues March On China · · Score: 1

    A mainlander won't have any problem because Linpus us NOT a "Taiwanese" distro. It comes in both Chinese flavors.

  3. Re:This is great for China on Linux Continues March On China · · Score: 2, Informative

    Most of the world's computer hardware is made by Taiwanese companies with factories in mainland China.....who do you think writes the drivers???

    If Linux becomes big in China and Taiwan, hardware support is no longer going to be a problem.

    By the way, the oldest and best Chinese Linux distro is Linpus from Taiwan:

  11. SOT Linux and Office on New OpenOffice.org-Based Office Suite · · Score: 4, Informative

    I downloaded their new (renamed) distro SOT Linux along with SOT Office (Linux and Windows) Saturday night. SOT Linux installed very nicely as did both versions of SOT Office. So far I have nothing to complain about. Nice distro and VERY nice installer.

  12. Re:Unfortunately you do not know your history well on Bart Decrem on the Linux Business · · Score: 1

    For your information, Mobutu is a foreign name. If someone can't spell a simple name, why should we expect their presented facts to be true? Pretty sloppy, I'd say.

    And since you're too lame to post as anything other than an "AC", why don't you tell us what half-assed country you come from?

  13. Re:Unfortunately you do not know your history well on Bart Decrem on the Linux Business · · Score: 1

    Sorry but your history is as bad as your spelling (it's MOBUTU *not* MABUTU).

  16. *Your* daughter? on Ethically Monitoring Your Kid's Net Access · · Score: 1

    Uhmmmmm, just what did your wife do that the judge gave custody to the father? I'd suggest that you have a talk (do some serious ass-kissing) and agreement with her REAL father before you start screwing around with where she can and cannot surf. Remember, she is NOT your daughter and never will be.

  17. News from Taipei on The News From Computex, Including Non-Rambus P4s · · Score: 1

    I can see it now....4AM, 150 Federal marshals armed with MP-5 German submachine guns surround your home and then kick in the doors. "Where's the FishPC?!? Where's the FishPC!?!" the men in black shout. Three minutes later a Fed rushes out carrying your PC wrapped in a blanket to a waiting van. Hours later your FishPC is reunited with Steve Jobs and family in California.

    "An armed individual with a knife or baseball bat can be disarmed without casualties many times more often than a gunman."

    Never heard of the Vikings, right? I don't think many of them were carrying .38's. How about Rwanda? Clubs and knives. Mankind was (and continues) busy whacking each other long before gunpowder was invented.

  22. Re:Giving Hong Kong to China on UK Censorship: Demonic Consequences · · Score: 1

    Actually, Hong Kong Island would have been MUCH better off with out Kowloon, NT, etc......I'd much rather live in the Mid-levels than across the way in Mongkok or Tsimshatsui.

  25. Re:Giving Hong Kong to China on UK Censorship: Demonic Consequences · · Score: 1

    The agreement had nothing to do with Hong Kong....the agreement was for Kowloon and the New Territories.....Britain threw in Hong Kong in order to try an avoid more immigrants and cut better business deals with the Chinese. BTW, can you tell me why Portugal gave Macau residents citizenship and the Britain didn't give it to HK? Stange isn't it? A Portuguese citizen from Macau can travel/work throughout the EU and Britain while Her Majesty's former subjects can't?
    Perfidious Albion indeed!
