  1. any lawyers reading? on Yahoo/Geocities IP Trouble · · Score: 1

    Say I manages to post a page on the new Yahoo! service containing in a completely anonymous manner (the details of how this would be done are really beside the point). What would be the expected outcome of this? Yahoo! might be denying responsibility, but then who is responsible?

  2. Re:This will change on Yahoo/Geocities IP Trouble · · Score: 1

    I think the majority in this case would be the people with wannabe pages and pictures of grandchildren and dogs.

  3. tongue damage on ESR Responds: 'Shut Up And Show Them The Code' · · Score: 1

    Have you ever actually tried to say "gnumeric"?

  4. Re:... on GNOME Programming Manual · · Score: 1

    It's not the whole book, but take a look at this.

  5. good to see on GNOME Programming Manual · · Score: 1

    If this book is *half* as helpful as Havoc is on gtk-list@redhat.com, it will be well worth the money.

  6. not such a bad idea on RMS Responds · · Score: 1

    Think about what kind of system you'd have if you actually DID remove everything but the kernel and replaced it with GNU stuff. Calling it "GNU/NT" would certainly be a whole hell of a lot less misleading than calling it just "NT."

  7. That reminds me... on Athlon Benchmarks Out · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know where I can find an equivalent of this for the Athlon?

  8. Re:source to the GNU utilities (and other stuff) on Scott Hacker Responds · · Score: 1

    Sample code is ALWAYS under this kind of license. What's your point?

  9. Re:WM debs easy to install on Scott Hacker Responds · · Score: 1

    On Redhat you start up GnoRPM (in the "system" submenu of the gnome main menu), find your window manager under "web find," and click "install." What was the guy's point again? Can we please have people who know what the fuck they're talking about when they want to bash an OS?

  10. Re:But that's just it - I can't seem to find one on Scott Hacker Responds · · Score: 1

    XFree86 is definitely NOT what you'd want to use, unless you plan on porting Xnest... :)

  11. oops on Scott Hacker Responds · · Score: 1

    I just realized that my below may not be your below: I'm referring to comment 16.

  12. Re:Be as a desktop, Linux as a server on Scott Hacker Responds · · Score: 1

    If you have an X server for BeOS, yes. That's all X servers do.

  13. wrong on Scott Hacker Responds · · Score: 1

    Be needs friends to pay its bills. Linux could certainly do without "friends" who make fools of themselves trying to bash it on slashdot (as an example see the poster referring to the nt/linux benchmarks below).

  14. Redhat does include source. on Scott Hacker Responds · · Score: 1

    What did you think all those .src.rpm files on the second CD were?

  15. Re:Dave Cutler is Da Man!! on NT vs. Linux: Again · · Score: 1

    Is this the guy who I've heard would get irritated at all the people around him who would give him buggy code? :)

  16. Re:It means what? (Was:Static page requests, BAH!. on NT vs. Linux: Again · · Score: 1

    Can you point out the lines in the source code to any version of the linux kernel that indicate being narrowly targeted towards serving http? Or are you just spouting crap (while blowing off the fact that Windows95 with its wide user base has a different code base than NT server with its web server revenue)?

  17. Re:Linux is not the fastest. No excuses. on NT vs. Linux: Again · · Score: 1

    I hope you're not trying to say that coming up with excuses was inappropriate for the first round of tests. After all, how far did Mindcraft turn out to be off? A factor of 2?

  18. Re:MS is afraid, Very afraid on NT vs. Linux: Again · · Score: 1

    If you'll remember, MS picked up the tab for round 1 of these tests.

  19. give that money to the fsf instead, then on SuSE larger than RedHat · · Score: 1

    Then maybe they could pay someone more for a gnome programming manual. :)

  20. Re:they buy more than the US on SuSE larger than RedHat · · Score: 1

    Or you could get a cable modem or dsl and "apt-get install" or "apt-get dist-upgrade" all day. Less effort that way. :)

  21. something else to try on SuSE larger than RedHat · · Score: 1

    cutting a piece of paper in half decently with less trouble than it would take to go buy paper of another size :)

  22. If you're still reading this story... on GIMP, Civ:CTP, and low-cost box Coming to BeOS · · Score: 1

    it's because multiple people use my machines. So being multiuser is a big plus.

  23. errrm... huh? on AMD Athlon (K7) Ships · · Score: 1

    What does the Alpha have to do with any of Intel's internal specs?

  24. Wow... on ESR on his trip to Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Talk about a "brickbat"...

  25. something to think about on Feature:GPL vs BSD · · Score: 1

    How many people do you think Cygnus would be paying to write free software if they add the option of releasing changes to gcc as propietary?
