  1. Re:1421 on North Pole Ice On Track To Melt By September? · · Score: 1

    So what you are saying is that some people don't have maps?

  2. Re:I have Cox High Speed on Comcast, Cox Slow BitTorrent Traffic All Day · · Score: 1

    I have cox and do the same by limiting my upstream. I have no problems here.

  3. Re:"Almost any hardware you throw at it" on Linux Desktop Distro Shootout · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the info about installing a 1 year old distribution, why not stay on topic and tell us about installing Hardy Heron.

    Fit that $300 in the same case as the mini. BTW I paid $300 for my mini, new.

  5. Re:ReiserFS sucked anyways on The File-System Fallout of the Reiser Verdict · · Score: 1

    Why is this form of rebuttal always trotted out? One's inability to do any better doesn't invalidate their original criticism. All those rejects on American Idol auditions are pretty half-assed singers and I can recognize that plainly (as can most people), but I'm certainly not going to claim I can do better because I know I suck as a singer. I used in this case because filesystems are extremely difficult and reiserfs does many things better than it's completion. The common person is can tell a poor singer from a good singer because they have been trained all through life by music to which is which. But unless you have done work on a filesystem you have no training to judge them for code quality.
  6. Re:ReiserFS sucked anyways on The File-System Fallout of the Reiser Verdict · · Score: 1

    Never had a problem with reiserfs and have been running it for many years, whereas my trials with xfs have been nothing but failure. If he is a half-assed coder why don't you write a better filesystem.

  7. Re:Article a bit one-sided? on The File-System Fallout of the Reiser Verdict · · Score: 5, Informative

    True, the other developer moved the code and patches to his server months ago when the namesys.com site went down.
    Rieser 4 Patches and Programs

    According to the article they are still in active development. They got patches for the 2.6.25 kernel so somebody is still working over there.

  8. Re:Wireless still doesn't work. on Ubuntu 8.04 Released · · Score: 1

    Which sucks, because I really want to get off Windows. If you really want to leave windows then take the time to figure it out. Sometimes you have to work for things you want. HP notebooks don't like the POS Gnome Network Manager that is default, use http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php and you should be good. Don't be a lazy whiner.

  10. Re:photorealistic != realistic on Matrix-Like VR Coming in the Near Future? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How can you gain new insights when you can't tell what is going to happen in the real world. You have to completely understand the model before simulating it.

  12. Re:Real Instrument? on Gibson Accuses Guitar Hero of Patent Violation · · Score: 1

    Looking at the long line of idiotic business moves by Gibson they are clearly missing the point. Guitar Hero et all is increasing interest in real guitars. Go to a music store and ask how many new guitar players are wandering into their stores buying real guitars because they played gh and wanted to move to the real thing. Gibson needs to look at this as an opportunity to sell product to this new players not sue the reason they are becoming interested in their product.
