  1. Re:hmm on Battle of the Secure Distros · · Score: 1

    you're right, it sure is a word - maybe michael should take note of that

  2. hmm on Battle of the Secure Distros · · Score: 1

    i really hate the phrase "me thinks".

  3. Re:Interesting quote from the article... on Linux and the Smile.D Virus keeps us Smiling · · Score: 1

    i'm not telling anyone to run everything as root all the time, but:

    for a desktop system, how about just being in the root group, and make certain fs areas (system fonts, printers, etc - things a desktop user might wanna play with) group writeable?

    of course it's less secure, but i see it as better than being root all the time

    just my 2c

  4. Re:its all the same. on How Hard is it to Manage Different Unices? · · Score: 1

    i'm sure you meant

    emacs - tie your fingers in knots

  5. Re:Problem... on Kartoo Search Engine Presents Results as a Map · · Score: 1

    it works without javascript on in konqi, however you miss some features, er and a lot of browser crashing javascript alerts

  6. Re:KDE slow? on KDE 3.0.1 Ships · · Score: 1

    i use gentoo too - but i've found the 2.4.19 kernel to be crappier than the one i'm using. try 2.4.17 with preempt, it's speedy! (for me)

  7. Re:Chance of passing: zero on Bill In U.S. House Plans Manned Mars Mission · · Score: 1

    maybe if they'd just cut the war on drugs down and disband the DEA, we'd have enough to go to mars (and more).

  8. plus... on Under Attack by PanIP's Patent Lawyers? · · Score: 1

    they're running an open relay too. i don't think i need to tell you what to do now :)

  9. Re:Hell yeah on Digitizing Your Dead Trees? · · Score: 1

    same here, and i'd sure as hell (with current tech) rather be reading a wood pulp format book than a digital book anyday. after you destroy all of those books in order to scan them, what will you have to take to the shitter with you? think.

  10. needs qt for the gui on OpenOffice.org Team Releases Version 1.0 · · Score: 1

    why can't they just use an already widely used gui library rather than fucking everything up with some crap built in (and adding what, ~20MB to the download)?

    SOL = shit outta luck (if you want it to look decent)

  11. Re:Too bad... on Remote Controlled Rats · · Score: 1

    no, they had christianity to do their mindless herding for them...

  12. Re:Ethical/moral problem with this on Remote Controlled Rats · · Score: 1

    And yes, I do remember ST:TOS's episode #22, "The Return of the Archons". But the french movie was even more sinister, because the makers pointed out the *political* aspect of this.

    hell yes, best TOS episode ever...

  13. fix on Klez, The Virus that Keeps on Giving · · Score: 1

    qmail + qmail-scanner + H+BEDV AntiVir (free for nonprofits) = no klez (or sircam, etc)

    that's my solution

  14. Re:Zero marks for on Hardware Manufacturers that Actively Support Linux? · · Score: 1

    i had one of those too, but it started shooting sparks out at me after it received some smoke damage from a house fire. you've been warned.

    oh, and i never could get it to work w/linux. :)

  15. Re:Our Founding Fathers were Gun Nuts! on Do You Know Where Your Privacy Is? · · Score: 1

    my point is, that you (and everyone else) should and do not have an absolute right to own a gun.

  16. Re:Our Founding Fathers were Gun Nuts! on Do You Know Where Your Privacy Is? · · Score: 1

    i see the phrase "the people" to be collective, as in "the people of america", not individualy. of course i may be wrong. i'm not for repealing the 2nd amendment in any way; to do so would make us all wonder when they'll start doing away with the other ones (like the first).

    however, just as the 1st is limited, i think the 2nd should be as well.

    my 2c, and sorry for calling you a gun nut.

  17. Re:I know where my privacy is! on Do You Know Where Your Privacy Is? · · Score: 1

    *personal* gun ownership is NOT a civil right, reread that amendment, you gun nut.

    the lovely little freebsd songs on your site almost make me want to install it again....

    almost ;)

    who knows, maybe i will

  19. Re:Great! on PHP-GTK based IDE for Midgard and PHP · · Score: 1

    i sorta agree on the dreamweaver thing - dont get me wrong, i generally write all of my html with quanta or kate, but having dreamweaver around for graphically setting upt big tables saves me time
