  2. WOW!! on Caldera Per Seat Licensing · · Score: 1

    That's a great feature! I wish that I could get a Certificate of License Authenticity for my Debian workstation. I would also like to be able to use Postgresql for only $199/Month.

    The Chairman, the program's host who oversees the competition and is famous for dramatically biting into a hot-pepper at the beginning of the show.

    That is a sweet yellow pepper. It's not hot at all. Damn tasty though.

  9. Hmmm on Banner Ads: Biggest Advertising Mistake Ever · · Score: 1

    Can you imagine sitting through a 20 second flash ad each time you reloaded /.

    All the FP trolls would disappear.

  10. hmmm on TuxBox: Rising from Indrema's ashes · · Score: 2

    Why waste time and money on developing the hardware to become the next Amiga

    Just ship a "TU" sticker and install linux on an XBox.

  11. If only I had a Mac on Apple Threatens Open Source Theme Project · · Score: 2

    I would be creating a Rotten Apple theme right now.

  12. MC should be happy about all such parrodies on Rec.humor.funny Threatened by MasterCard · · Score: 2

    Parodies (even those as sick as this) add to Mastercard's brand name recognition.

    What I really would like to see is parrodies of VISA's ad campaign that advocates credit card theft.

  13. Not Surprising but... on Indrema No More · · Score: 2

    I'm not surprised, however I'm disapointed that there are not many companies left to compete against the Xbollocks.

  16. Re:lzip on LZIP Advanced File Compression Utility · · Score: 1

    Actually this is not off topic.

    It is however improperly named.

    This is the source code for lunzip.

  17. We once had a tape backup unit like this on LZIP Advanced File Compression Utility · · Score: 1

    This product made beautiful backups.

    It backed up the entire network flawlessly every night. Provided you put a tape in the drive.

    The only problem it had was that the restore function was disabled unless you bought the upgrade version.

  20. hmm on Baseball Fans Must Pay To Listen Online · · Score: 1

    $9.99 sounds reasonable for a whole season. Of course this better be ad free.

    However, I don't believe I will bother paying them since I don't watch baseball when it is free on TV

  21. I live in Canada on Canadian TV Now V-Chip Ready · · Score: 1

    Can I use this to ensure that I only have to search through the most vile and disgusting stuff to find something worth watching.

    This would sure be an improvement over having to to surf through all the 100+ channels

  22. Re:This could set a new record on NSA Inside? · · Score: 2

    Ok now that I have read the article. This looks like it could be usefull.

    Just check the code very carefully

    If the govt really wanted access to every system then they would legislate the use of Win9x.

    You have to admit though that the name Mandatory Access Control [MAC] is somewhat suspicious.

  23. This could set a new record on NSA Inside? · · Score: 2

    If Linus accepted an NSA key into the kernel...

    You would see the fastest code fork in *nix history.

    To purchase a computer without an operating System.

    I'm over 30 but I can download and install Debian.

    Censorware must be really complex.
