  2. Alternatives..... on Restricted Financial Support for Open-Source? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Report bugs, submit patches, create your own software, and helping people troubleshoot problems in forums are ways to contribute if you live in a country that Pay Pal isn't accepting credit cards from. You can also do this in a country that Pay Pal DOES accept credit cards from, if you're broke.

    I could become millionaire - should I be treated as such? I could become a murderer - should I be put in jail now even though I haven't killed anyone?

    That depends. The Supreme Court has rejected prior restraint, but if you have plans for a 'dirty bomb' you can be arrested for being a terrorist, even though you haven't done anything.

    GPS in the file? Great! Then I can find out where all the 'amateur models' I look at live!

    People who graduated from high school in the south in 1985 have quite a superiority complex, don't they?
    Or would you like me to repeat myself?

    Someone did hire Bram. He's working for Valve software now. Working on Steam, I believe.

  15. Re:Or maybe not (Re:Sony Quality?) on Sony PSP Defects Reported · · Score: 1
    I have a Sony Trintron that's over 10 years old at my parents house for their second TV, I have a Sony discman that I probably use 6-8 hours a week for the last 3 years, I have a Sony 5 disc DVD/CD player for about 20 months now, I have a Sony Walkman that's about 20 years old (it's huge!), and I have a Sony portable stereo which has played CD's for me 8 hours a day every workday for the last 3 years. I have had zero problems with all of those devices.

    My father as has on old Betamax that also works just fine.

    I'm sure some devices have problems, but I've been VERY happy with my Sony purchases.

    Of course, sarge isn't out yet and it's release date was, what, a couple months ago? I didn't mean to pick-on debian at all, I just want to see some screenshots!

    I'm a debian stable user, so I won't get this for a few years. Are there screenshots up somewhere for it?

    That's right. In the USofA most people will trade their freedom for entertainment. Choosing a Jaguar and 30 or so games vs. living on your own.

  20. Re:A general question about global warming... on Consensus on Global Warming · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I basically agree with you on this, the evidence isn't air tight. However, that doesn't change the fact that we're still dumping tons of poisonous gas into our atmosphere every day. If nothing else, we should cut back on that.

  22. Re:Pentium II was still available for purchase? on RIP Pentium II, 1997 - 2006 · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I don't know about that. I remember running Office and playing Doom on my 486 DX2/66 with 16 MB of RAM and I knew plenty of Prodigy and Compuserve users running 386 SX's with 2 MB of RAM.

    Remember hand-configuring your config.sys and autoexec.bat to free up more expanded (or was it extended?) memory to play X-Wing, and then your dang Ad-lib soundcard would start working....sigh....the good old days.

    Nope. Education is the best way to spent our tax dollars. No Child Left Behind is not the answer either. A well funded public school system, given the time to grow and mature will be better for this nation (and the planet) than a better spacecraft.
