  1. Re:GNUArt ! on A Critique of the EFF's Open Audio License · · Score: 1

    I don't think you'll get away with that quite that easily. Ask John Oswald. Same situation, different "license".

  2. Here it is: on The Funniest Joke in the World · · Score: 1

    FREEDOM! TRUTH! and GREAT MUSIC!

    This fall on MTV!

  3. Re:Solaris you have got to be kidding? on FreeBSD 5.0 Delayed One Year · · Score: 1

    Well, gee, if all 10,000 users contributed just $1 each, there wouldn't be a problem, would there?

  4. Easy solution on XFree86 Drivers For Solaris · · Score: 1

    Step 1. Buy a D-Link 530TX+. I know, it's not on the HCL, but...
    Step 2. Go here to get the drivers for the chipset.
    Step 3. Have as much fun as Solaris will allow.

    Or, if you really need something on the HCL, Netgear still has their FA310TX available from their store, for a rather large shipping charge though :-(

  5. Wrong. on Star Trek: The Motion Picture DVD In Nov · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You should be using uwm. wm2's frames waste too much precious desktop space. uwm has no such problems.

    What I really want to know is why you're using bloatware such as X, though... DO you really need a GUI to do your work?

  6. Re:I Know... on Dorm Storm? · · Score: 1

    Hey, they stole the "anti-anti-missle-missle missle" thing from Rocky and Bullwinkle!

  7. Re:Nanotechnology is going to destroy all this... on Information Wants to Suck · · Score: 1

    Still plenty of months left in the year. Better get to work...

  8. Re:Slight logical fallacy on Perfect Pair: PowerPC And Linux · · Score: 1

    No, he doesn't.

    Why would he want the results of executing $DISTRO there?

    You may want to try reading the sh man page before speaking next time.

  9. Wah. on Kernel Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    Based on these numbers and the test I just ran, Linux 2.4.0 kicks FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE's ass all over the place in every category.

    Sure, I only have a 400MHz K6-III vs. their 850 MHz Pentium III, but it's not like Linux does everything twice as fast; it's much worse than that.

  10. Re:there are still a few os2 apps out there on OS/2 Sucessor eComstation Sees The Light Of Day · · Score: 1

    So can a Universal Turing Machine. Your point?

  11. That's easy. on Is Mac OS X real UNIX®? · · Score: 1

    Mac OS X isn't UNIX because a real UNIX system has to ship the Common Desktop Environment.

  12. Re:My thoughts.. on DVD Watermarking On Its Way · · Score: 1

    Works on Mozilla 0.8.1.

    Which means Mozilla isn't standards-compliant yet, becuase it should barf because the W3 says you can use <p> without </p> but not vice versa.

  13. Re:Also on C-NET . . . on Rambus Loses; Vows to Appeal · · Score: 1

    No, but you might hear:

    "Rambus Loses, Declares Bankruptcy"

    :-)

  14. Re:I thought it would be Stallman to respond first on Linus Responds To Mundie · · Score: 1

    He is too a total loon, otherwise he would have the good sense to attempt not to sound like a total loon.

  15. Re:He killed the BSD license! Bastard! on MS VP Speech Online · · Score: 1

    So which is it, BSD or GNU?

  16. I have one word on Slashback: Toast, Cube, Light · · Score: 1

    for that Linux box in a toaster:

    TOASTY!

  17. Exactly. on Gaming Companies Being Sued Over Columbine · · Score: 1

    Heh, I think I got into more fisticuffs before I started listening to Heavy Metal than after, and exactly zero since I started listening to KMFDM.

    When I was more violent, I was listening to stuff like MC Hammer. (I was young. Mistakes were made.)

    So there. It's MC Hammer's fault, not Metallica's or KMFDM's.

  18. Re:So who is using Slackware? on WindRiver Will Not Keep Slackware · · Score: 1

    ME ME ME!

    Actually, I started with Slackware in 1997 or thereabouts, because the Linux-Installation HOWTO, or whatever document I found at the time, had step-by-step instructions that were Slackware specific.

    I've tried all the others, but nothing beats Slackware's DIY mentality.

    Slackware is the Ramones of Linux distros -- it ain't complex, and it ain't pretty, but it works for me.

  19. I said it on K5... on Why Community Matters · · Score: 1

    and I'll say it here too.

    Where is this "Moebius-like reality" that America has created for itself?

    Have any of you noticed a twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop, from which there is no escape?

    How about whatever happened happening again?

    In any case, Rusty should be forced to listen Orbital's "The Moebius" until he learns that te Moebius is NOT merely a reality distortion field!

  20. Re:Yeah, sure on Why Community Matters · · Score: 1

    Looks like you got 0, offtopic. You'd better rethink your theory :-) :-) :-)

  21. Curses! on FIRST Robot Competition Wraps Up · · Score: 1

    Now my brother's famous, and all I've done is contribute a stinking patch or three to the defunct Utah-GLX project :-P

  22. Re:elementry contract law on MS Passport: "All Your Bits Are Belong To Us" · · Score: 1

    What is this "inux" you speak of? Does it have better network card drivers than Linux?

    If so, count me in!

  23. Re:My JonKatzish contribution :) mod down if desir on The Daily Show Wins Peabody · · Score: 1

    Not JonKatzish enough -- Johnny Kat would NEVER be caught dead using MLA citations, or any citations at all for that matter.

  24. Re:This is over dramatized on FPGA Supercomputers · · Score: 1
    How does a finite sized room become a "holodeck" of much larger(potentially infinite) size such as Yankee Stadium?


    Heisenberg compensators, of course.
  25. Re:Dead Whales on OS/390 Replaced By z/OS · · Score: 1

    OK, so my theory is correct: you need SCSI to use Solaris/x86 properly.

    It runs IDE drives in PIO mode, which kills a lot of the performance. Especially when your box only has 64 MB and things swap all the time ;-(
