  1. Pirated? on RIAA/MPAA Contractor Deploys Malicious Adware Trojans · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A copyright holder's agent (RIAA) offered it for download. Perfectly legit I would say.

  2. Where is the story? on Battery-Powered USB Enclosure · · Score: 1

    It's one of about 3759 similar products. Google for PHOTO STORAGE USB. Next time you know, /. will post stories about them new cool gadgets you can make phone calls with.

  3. Well. on GIMP Interface Proposals? · · Score: 1

    Looks like GIMP people are not really interested in photo editing. Sad, very very sad.

  4. Leave UI overhaul for 3.0 on GIMP Interface Proposals? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Add colour management and 16-bit depth *now*.

  5. It's 100 years old and it'll still outsmart you. on The King William's College 2004 Quiz · · Score: 1

    Google is 8 years old and it'll still outsmart this quiz. Next!

  6. Does it support on GIMP 2.2 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    gimp-print 5.0.0 yet? Yeah it's beta but so what?

  7. File a bug! on Open Letter to a Digital World · · Score: 1
    Most RME cards ought to be supported under Linux. If your distro doesn't work with your card, send them a bug report. Nag them until they fix it.

    As for EAC... I dunno man, just get yourself a working CDROM drive. IMHO EAC is totally unnecessary. Try ripping a track with it, and with cdparanoia, and compare.

  8. Needlessly overcomplicated gates. on Lego Logic Gates · · Score: 1

    Cog wheels? Rack and pinion? Totally overengineered.

  9. Guide to your perfect digital camera? on Guide to your Perfect Digital Camera · · Score: 1

    Where? You forgot to post a link to one.

  10. Manual lenses. on Guide to your Perfect Digital Camera · · Score: 1

    You can retrofit them with chips and connectors to use the light meter. There are people who will do it for you in exchange for a modest sum of momey (definitely kess than a D2H would cost).

  11. Gosh. on Introducing The Heron Programming Language · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Who, in this day an age, deliberately designs a non-hygienic macro system? Don't they teach Scheme in CS101 courses?

    Note: call it a macro system, or call it a type safe generic metaprogramming facility, or whatever. I don't care, it's still not hygienic. The relevant wording is here.

    Gentle Slashdotter, if you are ever to design a programming language, please make sure its scope rules (whether run-time or compile-time) are sane. Thank you.

  12. VGA? on PC Setup for Small House with Child? · · Score: 1

    Make it a DVI. You will thank me later.

  13. No, stupid. on Which Compiler to Extend for a Small Project? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Only people who understand old things very well should attempt to create new things. Otherwise we all end up with a mess of old bad things, and new worse things. The original poster clearly has no clue, as is readily apparent from his inane questions. Are we clear yet?

  14. Do not design a programming language. on Which Compiler to Extend for a Small Project? · · Score: 0

    Just don't do it. Really. Better minds have tried, mostly unsuccessfully. Yours will be a failure too. You're not smarter than McCarthy or Steele or Sussman or Dahl or Nigaard or Kay or...

  15. Huh? on C++ In The Linux kernel · · Score: 1

    Encapsulation is useful indeed, but OO it doesn't make. Ada has encapsulation, but nobody calls it OO. "Virtual functions" is a fancy name for a table of function pointers. It's a useful method of managing your control flow, and one that is used in the kernel as well, nothing new here. An object with an integer type field is just as big as one with a pointer to vtbl, you chose one or the other.

  16. You have no idea what OO is all about. on C++ In The Linux kernel · · Score: 1

    OO paradigm yes, virtual functions no? Stick to C.

  17. Some scientific names for dinosaurs. on Facts on Scientific Names of Organisms · · Score: 1

    Unix ultrix, U. irix, U. linux, U. berkelensis... U. hpux...

  18. Oh crap. on Iran: Even If Windows Is Free, Linux Is Preferred · · Score: 1

    rm gcc-3.4.2/gcc/haifa-sched.c

  19. Just what we need. on Some Of The Lost X-Patents Found · · Score: 2, Funny

    More patents. Sheesh.

  20. Heh. on Windows XP SP2 In Release · · Score: 1

    And they say P2P has no legitimate uses. Bastards.

  21. The only documented fact in the vicinity on Estonia Tests "Contactless" ID-Cards · · Score: 1

    is that you are a racist pig. You've just neatly documented it yourself. Thank you, and please die soon.

  22. "The" local language my ass. on Estonia Tests "Contactless" ID-Cards · · Score: 2, Informative

    A full one third of the population there speaks Russian. It is a local language whether you want it or not. Compare the situation with that of the Swedish language in Finland. Shame, I tells ya.

  23. A great way to deal with the issue. on Microsoft's Marshall Phelps On Patents And Linux · · Score: 5, Interesting

    FOSS afficionados should organise themselves one of these days and switch off all "infringing" software on the Internet for 48 hours. Just flip the switch and wait. I somehow suspect that the matter will suddenly become much more negotiable.

  24. I'm talking about ICC profiles. on Time to Try a Linux Desktop? · · Score: 1

    Linkie. There are no legal issues involved as far as I know.

  25. Gimp? on Time to Try a Linux Desktop? · · Score: 1

    Does it have colour management?
