  1. When is that kid going to grow up? on Enlightenment 0.15 · · Score: 1

    I got the screen real state, I got the memory, I got the CPU, I'll be fucked if I'm NOT going to put gargoyles in my Eterms. Got a problem? :-P

    And I can't even remember being 14... In fact I can't even remember being 24.

  2. KDE irrelevant... whatever on QPL 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Is GNOME as buggy as KDE is ugly?

    Just asking...

  3. that was disgustingly vacuous on LA Weekly: The Lonliness of Linux · · Score: 1

    It was rather blatantly AND repulsively sexist. I don't know if you are the same AC or a different AC, though, but it was.

  4. Crash-Happy Dog Doodie on GNOME 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Just don't use either. fvwm2 (not fvwm95) will probably give you a much better wm experience. The newer KDE versions are pretty stable, I find, but I can't bring myself to use the, since they are so butt-ugly (as in, they look way too much like win95).

  5. "Atta Boy" on LinuxWorld Show Favorites · · Score: 1

    > BTW - which composer does SuSE rhyme with?

    Brahms. :P

  6. what composer is that? on LinuxWorld Show Favorites · · Score: 1

    Obviously, Ippolitov-Ivanov.

  7. PSX2 seems far more advanced than Dreamcast on PSX2 development on... Linux! · · Score: 1

    Well... Dreamcast does run Virtua Fighter 3, so I guess I *have* to spend money on it when it comes out. At least, that game does not run on CE, unlike, say, Sega Rally 2.

  8. Linux PSX2 dev environment not likely on PSX2 development on... Linux! · · Score: 1

    Errr... I can bet you anything most serious developers have more than two machines laying around...

    In fact, I'll say more. If you are a developer, you don't want to interrupt content creation to initiate a compile, so you *want* more than one machine.

    So quit yer FUD.

  9. Nothing wrong with institutionalised religion.. on Review:Virtual Faith · · Score: 1

    Quite the opposite. You have to take what works and trash what doesn't work. That's how Darwinian Evolution functions, and Religion has been out of that dynamic for too long.

    "The dust of exploded beliefs would make a fine sunset" - Charles Fort.

  10. Sound Server? on Interview w/ Dave "Zoid" Kirsch about Linux Quake · · Score: 1

    It's not restricted on SGIs... Lots of fun in the office... :)

  11. Amen. on European OSS Advantage? · · Score: 1

    Exactly... I wish I could have put it as eloquently.

  12. then nasa's cumputers are crashing even harder.. on Russian E2k CPU at 135 SPECint95 / 350 SPECfp95 ??? · · Score: 1

    What the hell you mean "where it's not needed"?

    It's needed everywhere.

  13. it DOES have single player, just DIFFERENT on Quake 3 article with Linux · · Score: 1

    Who said anything about a *single* bot?

  14. bot != good story line... on Quake 3 article with Linux · · Score: 1

    Since when do you get good storylines with id games?

    (not that they ever needed them)

  15. Not gonna happen... on Ask Slashdot: How Powerful is Your Computer? · · Score: 1

    You have been reading too much Penrose... :)

    Frankly, I still don't know what consciousness has got to do with quantum mechanics. AFAIK there is no evidence for quantum effects being relevant to the performance in the human brain.

  16. PC's are still better on Playstation 2 Specs · · Score: 1

    It still costs a tenth of the money, and requires no set-up.

    For me, the reason PCs will always beat consoles, is the lack of a keyboard and mouse. Just try playing Quake with a joypad...

  17. Silly Rabbit MIPS are for kids on PIII - dead end technology? · · Score: 1

    Errr... MIPS *are* RISC chips, ain't they? Unless there is an American TV commercial reference I'm missing somewhere.

  18. Er, the UK? on Euro-Parliament Trying to Ban Caching? · · Score: 1

    Er, I guess whoever brings you food to the bomb shelter is bringing newspapers that are several decades old...

  19. GNOME *STILL* Beta, shame on them! on Gnome 0.99.7 released · · Score: 1

    You forgot:

    KDE is uglier than all fuck.

    Give me style over substance any day of the week... :)

  20. You mean you want unbiased articles on /. ????? on SGI x86 Linux Servers · · Score: 1

    -shrug- Well, what did we expect from somebody who goes and actually writes "Hahahahaha!!!" in his post? Sense?

  21. new website on Court rules website threats harm · · Score: 1

    Well... They have less to fear from us than us from them anyway...

  22. Won't happen. on SGI Press Release: Linux is Officially Supported · · Score: 1

    But it could happen if SGI pull their finger out and port Maya to Linux...

  23. Oh how I love to eat bugs! on TeraGen's new processor architecture · · Score: 1

    Crap... Foot-right-down-the-trachea scenario... Terragen is the other one... :)

  24. Two companies that make shitty OS's. on HP and SGI Boost Linux · · Score: 1

    IRIX the Worst Unix Ever?

    Gee, I hadn't heard news of Linux scaling to 64+ processors, but if you know something that we don't, feel free to share.

  25. good alternative to security hole called IRIX on HP and SGI Boost Linux · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but for those of us with no data worth dick and therefore no concern for security, IRIX is still the sweetest UNIX to actually do some work on.

    Both my Linux boxes trounce my Indy in terms of performance, but I'd much rather work on the Indy any day of the week...
