  1. Subscription fees. on Microsoft Delays New Licensing Terms · · Score: 1

    at least KDE and GNOME don't seem likely to institute monthly subscription fees

    But RedHat yes, and most software companies for that matter. Linux is now viewed as a commercial product and their's no going back.

  2. Re:Washing instructions? on Sweat-Eating Bacteria to Live in Your Clothes · · Score: 1

    I never wash my cloth because I'm too lazy and I have to go get new ones when people start complaining about the smell. Thanks to those cute little bacteries I won't have to buy new clothes.
    From now on I'll be marketing bacteries and their benefits :)

  3. Re:Why Angelina Jolie? on Sweat-Eating Bacteria to Live in Your Clothes · · Score: 1

    How can your clothes smell like Angelina Jolie when you're a man? My guess is, they thought she's a man. Sure she's ugly, but she doesn't look anything like a man to me.

  4. Shower on Sweat-Eating Bacteria to Live in Your Clothes · · Score: 2

    Thanks to that kind of innovation now I won't have to take a shower every month, it'll probably be every three months or so :)

  5. Re:Java? on .NET has Open Source Competition · · Score: 1

    Okay you have good points but it doesn't take much to be faster than Java. Off your head do you know of any languages that are slower than Java code?

  6. Let me get this straight on How To Make Money Online · · Score: 1

    A guy who doesn't even have a porn site wants to teach others how to do one? Who's going to fall for it?

  7. Re:Silent computer on Seagate Claims New Drive Silent and Fastest · · Score: 1

    If you can't hear it, you probably have a hearing deficiency.

  8. Re:argh on Australians Barred From Gambling Online · · Score: 1

    Don't worry we already know that it's not you but your government. We all have the same problems with our politicians making stupid decisions for us.
    Here in Canada, gambling is illegal, except when it's a government casino, lottery, etc. Taxes, gambling, they just want our money, as long as they can get our money then they don't care.

  9. Re:They have it wrong on Mystery of Loch Ness Solved? · · Score: 1

    Would you like to stop seeing those monsters? Avoid looking in the mirror.

  10. Re:please... on Mystery of Loch Ness Solved? · · Score: 1

    By the way, I don't think that this is the right explanation for the sightings. People easily see what they desperately want to see. Think of UFO abductions and things like that.
    Are you implying that aliens don't exist? We see them on TV everyday.

  11. D'oh on Mystery of Loch Ness Solved? · · Score: 1

    Maybe he'll also be the one discovering that Bill Gates wife is fake to. Only a product of BG's fertile imagination.
    Or maybe, just maybe, the whole world we live in and people we meet are all fake.

  12. Re:What next? Close StarOffice up? on Sun Closes Solaris Source Sales June 30 · · Score: 1

    I have no problem with them wanting to make money but the problem is that they lie about their interest in Open Source. They're just trying to cash on it's popularity.

  13. Re:You got it all wrong on MSDN Subscriber Forced to use Passport · · Score: 1

    Well yeah, maybe you're using the same username and password for all the accounts you have, but how about the websites who give you a specific password to use? Are you still going to remember all of them? I'm no AOL User and no MS intern. I'm just looking for simplicity.
    When you were growing up, computers weren't in great use yet. Nowadays it's different, their's no going back. People used to do all this stuff for fun, nowadays it's more like "how will it benefit the others? How will my company benefit? Can I make any profit out of it?" Unfortunately, the old days are gone.

  14. Re:Grow up Taco on MSDN Subscriber Forced to use Passport · · Score: 1

    Microsoft does bad things at times, but just because Microsoft does something doesn't AUTOMATICALLY make it bad. You've been given a brain - use it.

    This is full proof of what really happens to your brain when you spend all your lunch breaks at Taco Bell.

  15. You got it all wrong on MSDN Subscriber Forced to use Passport · · Score: 1

    So what? In the past, MSDN subscribers had to remember a different username and password to be able to download the MS material and now they only have to remember their hotmail password. For God's sake, how can this be bad? I was damn happy when they announced it.
    Grow up, stop trolling, not everything MS does is bad, hey I don't feel like remembering 20 passwords. I mean I have accounts with Slashdot, Linux.com, MSDN, and many others, do you really think I'm going to remember all those passwords? Hell no

  16. Re:A little commen sense on Dept. of Defense Adopts StarOffice · · Score: 1

    How exactly will they install MSWord on UNIX Workstations? They went with StarOffice, and why not? It does what they want it to do and it's free. The only winner in this transaction is the DOD. Hell 50$ for 25000 installs, damn good.

  17. Censorship the good, the bad and the ugly on @Home Cuts Newsgroups Due to DMCA Complaints · · Score: 1

    I guess you can't kill censorship hey. It always comeback wanting more and more. If you're looking for world domination and assimilation, try censorship.

  18. Re:Someone needs to correct this man.. on Bill Gates Says GPL Is Like Pac-Man · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I'm wrong but you obviously never worked in a medium or large sized company. Their's no telling what others will do to be able to compete with you.

  19. Relax on Red Hat In The Black · · Score: 1

    It's only 600k on sales of 25 millions. Usually that's the amount of money small companies make. To be honest it's a laughable amount. Good software companies are expected to make much more sales.

  20. It's a conspiracy on SETI@Home A Security Threat, Says TVA · · Score: 1

    They don't want us to find out that aliens exist.

  21. Source Code on WSJ Reports On MS Using Open Source · · Score: 1

    Weird, the same people who say that MS software is buggy affirm without any hesitation that MS is using BSD's code. Ah the irony.

  22. Re:AOL to save the day! on AOL, Microsoft Squabble Over Control of Online Music · · Score: 1

    They think that RealPlayer with all it's privacy issues and it's old technology is right for consumers.

  23. No way on Using Gold As Online Currency · · Score: 1

    I don't want to have to pay my taxes in gold.

  24. I don't care on Review: Tomb Raider · · Score: 1

    I don't care if the movie is any good I'm boycotting it anyway. Angelina Jolie is ugly and Lara Croft is supposed to be gorgeous. We've got way too many hot looking talented actresses so why not give them a shot? We're getting tired of the same faces in every movie.

  25. Re:Why the hell not? on Former Dot-Com Workers Crowd Homeless Shelters · · Score: 1

    Thanks for your post, at least it's not full of flamebait like the others.
    What can I say? You said everything I wanted to say and even more.
