  1. Re:One possible feature I'd like to see on The State Of The GTK+ File Selector · · Score: 1

    Will the shortcuts on the left side (home, etc) be configurable? That would be one way to beat the crap out of Windows once again.

    The shortcuts on the left side in the windows file selector are configurable.

  2. innovate damnit. on The State Of The GTK+ File Selector · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    It's a shame all of them just look like bad ripoff's of what windows has had for a while. And the one designed by Eugenia at osnews is just retarded. File selectors should be longer horizontally since file names can be long. Having something that is taller than it is long is just dumb, there just isn't a polite way to say it.

  3. outsourcing.. on First High-Res Color Photos from Mars · · Score: 1

    You think Indian outsourcing is bad.. just wait for Martian outsourcing..

  4. Mockapetris on Paul Mockapetris On The Future of DNS · · Score: 1

    Mockapetris sounds like some weird varient of tetris.

  5. soapy water.. on ISS May Have A Leak · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now they just need to figure out who is going to take the soapy water outside and apply it all of the seams to find the leak.

  6. nice screenshots :) on FVWM Developers Announce New Logo · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I might switch from blackbox for a while and try out fvwm. Hopefully its easy to make it look nice like those screenshots. I hate it when you see nice screenshots only to later realize its nearly impossible to make a wm look like that.

  7. Re:Obligatory Opera comment on OmniWeb Announces 5.0 Browser · · Score: 1

    While opera allows you to use one of many pre-defined searches through a variety of means (including typing "g " + subject into the address bar), adding any search would be a powerful and useful ability.


    IE has done this since around version 4 with an (albeit not well advertised) addon from microsoft.

  8. am i the only one... on First Stereograms of Mars from Spirit · · Score: 1

    that thinks mars looks kinda boring? It really just looks like desert or something. It would be nice if the photo's were color so you could get some feeling of what it really looks like. On the plus side, maybe Nasa will get a picture of that Beagle rover that crashed or whatever.

  9. Re:Compromising Game Design on Rick Goodman On Building Empires · · Score: 1

    By any chance does anyone know someone at Stainless Steel? I'd really like to get a job there

    Heh.. who wouldn't? Judging by your website, you might actually have a shot though.. Why not just make your own game?

  10. Re:Mmmm... Empire Earth... Stainless Steel Studios on Rick Goodman On Building Empires · · Score: 1

    EE is without a doubt one of the most fun RTS games I've ever played. Start off in the prehistoric era and finish up in postmodern nanotechnological warfare. The fact that the maps can be truly gigantic makes for some neat changes in strategy (even modern aircraft need refueling, etc).

    I agree, empire earth is by far my favorite game. It's one of the few games I can stand to play single player, and the multiplayer is excellent.

  11. Re:My Knoppix Problems on Knoppix Tips and Tricks · · Score: 4, Informative

    52x Max (above might have been using a slow model) Hard Drive : Usually around 7200x

    These aren't comparable measurements at all.. The x in cdrom speeds is how many times faster it is than the original "1x" cdroms, and harddrive speed isn't measured in X's at all its in revolution's. You can't just add an X to the end of a harddrive speed and expect to compare it to a cdrom drive.

  12. Re:Good read, if you can get through it. on Coalescent · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Only at /. would a comment about a Stephenson book get modded up in response to a review about a totally different book by a different author.

  13. Re:Calling him an ass for those quotes wreaks of.. on Alan Ralsky Gripes About Can Spam Act · · Score: 1

    So yes, you can steal an "mp3". For example, if an author sells tracks for 0.99$ and you listen to it then the mp3 is worth 0.99$ to you. Just because you haven't paid for it yet doesn't mean it has no value.

    No, you flunk econ 101, if it sells for $0.99 and you aren't willing to pay that and instead steal it, it is certainly not worth $0.99$ to you.

  14. Re:Anything can be abused.. um. No on OnStar Considered Harmful · · Score: 1

    if its naturally aspirated, its not fuel injected..

  15. Re:mars rover? on Mars Crater Theory Tries To Explain Missing Beagle · · Score: 1

    US reply: "Mars is not a 'petrol' station for wayward probes. We don't want to encourage martian tourism."

    ROFL

  16. mars rover? on Mars Crater Theory Tries To Explain Missing Beagle · · Score: 1

    Why can't they just buddy up to NASA and have them send the mars rover out looking for it?

  17. That's nice of them -nt- on Israel's Finance Ministry To Distribute OpenOffice · · Score: -1, Redundant

    -nt-

  18. Re:FreeDOS on Cross Platform BIOS Flash Upgrades? · · Score: 1

    Mac's work differently.. they use openfirmware.

  19. what?? on Postal 2 - Share the Pain Demo for GNU/Linux · · Score: 3, Funny

    Games for linux? What's next? Games for Macs?

  20. Re:age? on Linux Toys · · Score: 1

    Yeh, one of my favorite books as a child was a similar book that had several outdoor survival type projects and also several plans for rudimentary firearms.

  21. where? on Linux Toys · · Score: 2, Funny

    Where does everyone get these free/ dirt cheap p200 class laptops? The only laptop I ever got for free was a broken p133 and I had to trade a semester worth of cobol homework assignments for it.

  22. kde and gnome both suck.. on UserLinux May Go Without KDE · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Honestly not trying to troll here, but both kde and gnome, as they are installed by most popular distros atleast, suck. I've seen a lot of linux systems that boot into windows faster than they boot linux and start up gnome or kde.

    KDE and Gnome are not good examples to use if you are against bloat of any kind. It'd seem wiser, albeit harder, to take a simpler window/desktop manager and build upon it to make something that was halfway useable and consistant in design.

  23. get useful features first.. on MySQL Gets Functions in Java · · Score: 1

    MySQL needs to finish cloning the functionality of those rdbms's like Oracle before they start adding crazy features with limited utility.

  24. Re:And then get arrested, convicted... on Replaced by Outsourcing -- What's a Geek to Do? · · Score: 1

    There's a prison where people get to pound you in the ass? Uh.. I'm not touching this one with a 5 foot pole, or any pole let alone any pole I'd have my hands on...

    You obviously aren't a true geek, otherwise you'd catch the office space reference.

  25. so whats the problem? on Windows XP, Games, and Administrator Privileges? · · Score: 1

    Just use the run program as another user option and let the game run as administrator.
