  2. No.. on Element Computer: ION Linux on Linux Hardware · · Score: 1

    Next thing you'll be telling me is that you want dual floppy drives, one 3.5" and one 5.25".

  4. Re:Command lines aren't *learner* friendly on When Does Usability Become a Liability? · · Score: 1

    Your point is good. I have found myself browsing the /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin
    and all those others looking to see what was there.
    It's kindof fun when I have time; but when I need a command now, and don't know the name of or even if it exist, it's frustrating looking for it. I don't mind using the man pages to find how they work; but that asumes you know the name first!
    Googleing for it is just as much a waste of time sometimes. What is needed for all those CLI newbs is a GUI help system for CLI. Mostly to help find the right command; but also to maybe give some common use for it. For all I know someone has already done this. I hav'nt found it yet. It's not on my desktop?
    It's not in my menu?

    Mostly it's not IN MY FACE!

    And that folks is what makes a easy OS.

  11. Embrace SPAM! on DSPAM v2.10 Released · · Score: 1

    SPAM is not the money maker. The people embraceing SPAM are the companies that sell computer goods. How many people do you know that get feedup with the state of their computer and just go out and buy a new one or a new OS? Or maybe a "Virus/Popup/Spy/Other" software package. Why do you think it takes so long for M$ to fix the problems with OutLook? Now you want to make money? Get into the game and start selling goods to fix all those "broken" systems out there. Don't complain about SPAM; Embrace It!

  17. Can you say... on Nerve Cells Successfully Grown on Silicon · · Score: 1

    BioSoft; the next big monopoly? Hated more than the other .....soft corp. If you think a M$oft tax on your hardware is bad; wait until you have to pay the "thought tax".

    Just a thought. Or is it? Maybe it's someone elses memory?

    better stop before I go crazy. ...oh wait

  18. How about composting? on Space Burial · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think we all need to be cut into litle pieces and put in the garden (not the food one?). This matter I'm made of is just barrowd; it's not mine, it belongs to the earth. unfortunaly it's not leagle in most countries. I hate to breath others smoke/dust (in the wind)/ash (to ashes) stuff. Keep the air clean, compost your loved ones!

    And; No, put in a pine box after being pickeled is not the same!

    Being excited about things you love or worship is a good thing; hurting others beccause the don't share your views is the problem.

    This knight thing comes after M$oft gave how much "free" software to who?

    If any one needs to be nighted for "giving" the world some "free" software; it's Linus.

    Sincerly Yours, FANatic
