  1. Keep the printed manuals on Are Printed Manuals Dead? · · Score: 1

    Online manuals are fine for doing quick lookups on fuctions, options, etc... but when it comes to sitting down and reading a manual to learn a new program reading the whole thing on a computer screen is the pits. If I was evaluating several different programs to meet a certain need printed manuals would weigh very heavy into the decision.

  2. Inovation on Microsoft Invents Symbolic Links · · Score: 1

    I'm really going to go out on a limb, but here it goes.
    I predict that by the year 2005 Microsoft will discover Fire and invent the Wheel.

  3. Re:must of been a real good school on Palm IIIc, IIIxe Released · · Score: 1

    Straight for the article on slashdot "The IIIc sports 8MB of RAM, PalmOS 3.5 and a very cool 256-color TFT display. The Palm also has a built in rechargable battery that supposedly lasts for two weeks between charges. The IIIxe is much like
    the IIIx, but doubles the RAM to 8MB."

  4. Rights on Keep It Legal To Embarrass Big Companies · · Score: 3

    Don't worry, they won't take away all our rights at once. They'll just take little bits at a time
    until you don't have the right to complain that they have taken away your rights.

  5. must of been a real good school on Palm IIIc, IIIxe Released · · Score: 0

    I don't know where you went to school, but they
    must have their own way of doing math. Last time
    I checked if you double 8mb of ram you get 16mb not 8mb.

  6. Anon if your really doing it for reasons you state on Open Source and Legal Protection · · Score: 1

    Why not just release it anonymously, according to your question you are doing this since you feel it is wrong for a few individuals/companies to hold onto something this important and the general fact that software patients are bogus.
    If that is really the case just release it and take no credit for it. No one to sue, if it just shows up on a bunch of ftp servers around the world.

  7. Aus gov on Oz Government to Become "Biggest Hacker in Town" · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that we are also allowed to crack their sites?

  8. Re:Why so many problems in the US? on Take the FBI's Geek Profile Test · · Score: 1

    I don't see the number of weapons available as the real problem, but rather the refusal to accept any responsibility for ones actions. The kids say it isn't my fault I was abuse or the football team picks on me. The parents point the finger at video games their kids play, movies they watch and the books they read.
    Wake up people, noone makes you do anything and there are consiquences to your actions.

  9. Boycott on Yahoo Censoring Their Message Boards? · · Score: 1

    Just refuse to use sites that censor their content. When you affect their bottem line they will listen.

  10. Prison colony on Australia - Censorship Overload · · Score: 1

    It looks to me like they are trying to recreate
    the original prison colony.

  11. Bastardized versions on Japanese PC Manufacturers Preinstalling Linux · · Score: 1

    Just as long as they don't end up putting some
    bastardized version on the systems it is great.

  12. Re: on GRASS Geographic Information System now under GPL · · Score: 1

    For more GIS checkout

  13. What took them so long on Yugoslav Internet Shut Down? · · Score: 1

    What suprises me is that it took them this long
    to cut their internet connections.
    One of the most basic principles of was is the
    destruction of all infastructure ( Roads, Power, Communication ) and internet would definatly fit into that arena.

  14. Re:Ain't that sweet... on Taking May 19 Off? · · Score: 1

    I wish they would of notified me when my B-day was
    made a nation holiday..

  15. Re:My thoughts on The Desktop Wars · · Score: 1

    I've yet to try gnome, so I'll leave it alone for now. But KDE, some of the features are really nice but a waste of resources. Watching it load reminds me of watching NT load. It does not add anything to the apps I use most( emacs, gimp, netscape ).
    So what you end up with is a memory intensive toy.

    I think I'll stay with fvwm.

  16. Don't really get paid on Perfect tie knot mathematically found · · Score: 1

    No one actually pays these guys to study tie knots
    do they.
