  1. Re:This profit subsidizes the rest... on Microsoft Profit and Loss by Business Area · · Score: 1

    Actually Sony has been making money on the PS2 console for a quite a while now. They combined some chips and now the most expensive aspect of the PS2 is the DVD license.

    > Gnome GNU/Linux

    The G in Gnome stands for GNU so thats reduntant.

    Further more GNU stuff on a "normal linux system" Has far more code than the linux kernel

    The issue wasn't the electoral college as much as the integrity of the system in flordia from turning away voters to a possibly confusing ballot to very subjective recounts, all in a state run by the winning candidate's brother.

  7. Re:Compiled with gcc-3.1 on Mandrake Linux 9.0 Beta 1 · · Score: 1

    yes, a gcc3.1 program or library needs the gcc libstdc++ from gcc3.1 but mozilla needs plugins that match the libstdc++ it uses

    > I hope he get raped in the anus by a big gay black dude.

    Grammar alert! "Get" doesn't agree with he. "I hope he gets raped..." and "I hope he will get raped..." both work. Also beware 50% of your sentences are in the passive voice.

  9. Re:Compiled with gcc-3.1 on Mandrake Linux 9.0 Beta 1 · · Score: 1

    The issue isn't apps as much as plugins, because the ABI isn't frozen. Mozilla compiled with gcc3.1 expects to communicat with a plugin in a certain format however gcc2.x uses a different naming scheme.

  10. Re:Compiled with gcc-3.1 on Mandrake Linux 9.0 Beta 1 · · Score: 1

    Yes but MacOS X 10.2 isn't an option for manypeople because they don't ship X11 and it is non-free.

    erm actually most of mozilla is dual liscesed under the gpl there are a few bits where they havent found the authors still floating arounder under the MPL only.

  14. Linux? on QuickTime 6 Is Out · · Score: 1

    Still no linux version, what a shame, and don't point me to that codeweavers junk. Linux users shouldn't have to pay and run it un-native when its free and native for everyone else.

  15. Re:speaking of independents on Carp-Free Independent Music Labels · · Score: 1

    How com VA seems to be the only advertiser on Slashdot? Doesn't seem to say a lot about how well the ads on slashdot are going. OK, I'm exagerating, I see a think geek ad every once in awhile too.

    Think Geek is owned by VA.

  16. PC and Xbox!? on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic · · Score: 0

    Whats the charge in coulombs on a proton?

    You have to look for a table and a calculator to answer those questions. See how broken the metric system is?
