  1. Re:why so negative towards xbox? on XBox Released · · Score: 1

    Nobody wants to buy them, yet I can't get my hands on one, they're damn sold out. Which makes you a liar. Of course MS is taking a risk, but I'm sure it'll be a successfull console. I'm getting one pretty soon while you're still whinning about the fact that BG is better than you.

  2. Re:First they knockoff the OS X, now the showmansh on XBox Released · · Score: 1

    Not happy with MS? Stick with your OS X and leave us, the majority, alone. I don't see how the XBox interface can look like OS X.

    Yes Apple ripped their GUI from Xerox and they ripped their code from BSD. Makes you wonder what their developers are doing.

  3. This article is ridiculous on XBox Released · · Score: 1

    The author first blames XBox for not having enough good titles at it's release as he would like. Then he goes on telling how wonderfull the GameCube is and talking about a strategy game for the console.
    I went out to get myself an Xbox but they were all sold out but I'll get one sooner or later. I'm sure that Dead or Alive 3, Halo, Madden 2002 and Munch's Oddysse are all great games. That's enough to occupy me for a very long time.
    As for the article, it's plain FUD. The guy is probably paid by Sony.

  4. Re:Share the vulnerability with the press on Schneier On Full Disclosure · · Score: 1

    So what's the problem here? MS is simply asking researchers not to publish the code which exploits the vulnerability to everyone.

  5. criticize MS all you want on Schneier On Full Disclosure · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    But when BIND does the same thing, oh then it's fine, no problem, it's okay, no big deal, etc..

  6. Re:Duke Nukem on Ask Bruce Campbell Anything... · · Score: 1

    They must have thought that his lines were Open Source :)

  7. Re:Microsoft is *the* devil, says Linux on "Linux is *the* threat," Says Microsoft · · Score: 1

    euh...he's Fidel Castro?

  8. Re:What's with all these tattoos? on "Linux is *the* threat," Says Microsoft · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If he really used those kind of words, the guy will get fired. Guaranteed!

  9. Re:Where's the XP? on "Linux is *the* threat," Says Microsoft · · Score: 1

    You really work in an IT department? Of course it makes no mention of XP. Don't you know that XP server is not out yet?

  10. Because of the lawsuit on "Linux is *the* threat," Says Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Funny hey, we've had the Halloween documents in 1997 following the lawsuit. Now, that some states are refusing to sign an agreement; Here's another supposedly leaked document that discusses how Linux is a threat to MS's monopoly.

  11. We all know what this means for Slashdot on Council of Europe Pushes Net Hate-Speech Ban · · Score: 1

    What this might mean for Slashdotters :

    1. No more anti-MS posts;
    2. You can't say anything against John Katz;
    3. You can't oppose any government or any law;
    4. You can't say that a video card sucks;
    5. Even if you're a crazy alcoholic criminal SOB, it's against the law to admit it.

  12. Everyone of you stop Posting on Council of Europe Pushes Net Hate-Speech Ban · · Score: 2, Funny

    Too many of you people are posting hatefull comments about the Council of Europe. That means you're all outlaws.

    Since the days of freedom and free speech are counted, I guess I better grab the few occasions I have and say what's on my mind. All those pro-censorship laws are crap.

  13. The Obsession continues on Microsoft Microsoft Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Why are you so obsessed with MS? You're supposed to be using Linux, so what exactly are you complaining about?

    Is it really so hard for you to accept the fact that MS, a company who in your opinion doesn't know much about software development, is more successfull than any other OS company?

  14. Re:Cuba has to deal with Capitalism on Ballmer, Gates on Microsoft's Future · · Score: 1

    "Capitalism causes and enforces class divides, which causes oppression to most of society. Socialism aims to abolish the class system. "

    Last time I checked, God didn't create us equal. Abolishing the class system is just plain ridiculous.

  15. Re:Women? on Ballmer, Gates on Microsoft's Future · · Score: 1

    In Open Source we've got Linus Torvalds, ESR, Larry Wall, Alan Cox, etc. Where are the women? I'm puzzled.

  16. Re:Is anyone else here impressed? on Ballmer, Gates on Microsoft's Future · · Score: 1

    The same reason why people dislike the US. Because it's successfull, rich and powerfull.

  17. Re:I feel bad for MS Shareholders on Ballmer, Gates on Microsoft's Future · · Score: 1

    Where are you living? It's the most sold software around here.

    well how old are you? You don't like capitalism, go to Cuba, you will fit well within that community.

  19. Double Standars on EFF To Defend Music Swapping Service MusicCity · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    So let me get this straight. It's okay for people to download free music? You refuse the government to censor the download of MP3 yet you want them to censor Windows. That's not what I call standing for what you believe in, I call this standing for what benefits you the most.

  20. Re:It doesn't get any better on What Do You Do When CS Isn't Fun Any More? · · Score: 1

    Nope, yes work isn't fun but hey it's still way better then school.

    Besides, who said that life was a joy ride? Work is supposed to be work. If you're having fun all the time, you'll feel weird and unhappy.

  21. the ho's on Massachusetts Holds Out On MS Case · · Score: 1

    Seems to me like the government whores are indirectly asking for more money.

  22. Ironic isn't it? on Interview With Linus · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Linus Torvalds, the same guy who makes the Linux kernel, works at Transmeta and his salary is paid thanks to MS's fortune.

  23. Re:Why is this even being posted? on iTunes 2.0 Installer Deletes Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    yet if the same thing happened with MS software, you'd be the first to complain.

  24. One question remains on Civilization III Is Out, And It Rocks · · Score: 1

    Any terrorist activities in this game? Perhaps a Ben Laden look-alike That we can wage war against?

  25. Re:A classic example of speaking out of one's arse on Amazon: Linux Saved Us Millions · · Score: 1

    with Windows XP it gets done automatically, you don't have to do anything. In another versions, there's usually a scheduled Windows Update, something like once per week, I don't remember exactly.
