  1. Re:Will we have to call it.. on MAME To Become GPL? · · Score: 1

    Simple answer: no.

    Hope that helps.

  2. Re:Marvel -- not the Movie Studio -- you fools on Stan Lee Sues Marvel Comics · · Score: 1

    Uh, yeah, but the MPAA sucks and is evil and stuff, too, right? I mean, what about that /. article about how the film studios tried to shaft Stan Lee for the Spider-Man movie?

    Oh, wait...

  3. Re:um - dick in *his* pants on Europe Goes To Venus; Mars Comes to Us · · Score: 1

    It's ok for you to admit it. Every President does it!

  4. Re:Active Directory is different than Active Deskt on "Seamless" Integration of Mac OS X w/ Active Directory · · Score: 1

    The article originally used Active Desktop rather than Active Directory. It appears to have changed, though.

  5. Re:That's a good thing on Microsoft takes on PDF · · Score: 1

    Wait, let me get this straight, it's a good thing to have PDF go away so it can be supplanted by a format that has all the same drawbacks, but also won't work as easily with non-MS operating systems? Oh baby, sign me up!

  6. Re:not 200,000 bugs? on Competiton: Mozilla's 200,000th Bug · · Score: 1

    I think his point was that all those reported bugs aren't actually bugs. Some are feature requests, some are duplicates, some aren't bugs in Mozilla, some can't be replicated, and so on. Because these sorts of things are allowed, any large project using bugzilla will quickly have their "bug count" balloon up.

  7. Gaim bugs on Submitting Bug Reports To Open Source Projects? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Report gaim bugs to the gaim bug tracking at sourceforge. Or, talk to the people in #gaim on OPN. Either way, your bug will get known, and, in the latter case, you might get an answer right away.

  8. Re:This just seems wrong... on Linus says 2.6 kernel will be out by June 2003 · · Score: 1

    Since this is easily possible by just turning off (or on) certain options in the kernel configuration file, perhaps a better idea is to make some sort of "sock configurations." So you could do make dep-desktop, and it would use a different configuration file designed specifically for desktops. The same could be done for servers, or whatever else the kernel would be used for.

    It certainly seems a bit more sane than actually forking the kernel.

  9. Re:Without electronics... on Water Computing · · Score: 1

    Water is polar, not purely covalent.

  10. Re:Where's the Linux retort? on Microsoft Vandalizes NYC · · Score: 1

    It's already been done. Does nobody remember IBM and the Peace, Love, Linux thing?

  11. Re:umm.. hello?!?! on Google Complies with Law, Excludes 'controversial' Sites · · Score: 1

    I'm sure Hemos hates everyone and wants them to die. But the truth is, nobody profits from ignorance. Unless these sites are so offensive that people refuse to use google there is no reason to remove them.

  12. Re:A quick run on The Captains of Nautilus · · Score: 1

    Every desktop environment comes with something just like the Windows run command, plus there are tons of other ones just floating around. Go to freshmeat and search, you'll get more than enough.

  13. Re:Switch User Feature on Xandros 1.0 · · Score: 1

    You may need to do startx -- :1 then. But it does work.

  14. Re:Any program can be written using one less byte on Smallest Possible ELF Executable? · · Score: 1

    Only if you don't know what redundant means...

  15. Re:Lame article, but there are a few bugs on Review of Linux Mandrake 9.0 · · Score: 1

    Just download the RPMs from gaim.sf.net. Mandrake has a history of applying patches to gaim that mess it up.

  16. Re:Oh wow on Killing Clutter With The Antidesktop · · Score: 1

    Right, well, this is for people who, quote, "Hate window managers." People who can't use grep, awk, sed, etc. wouldn't hate window managers. It's not like this article is trying to revolutionize the desktop world with its fantastic new paradigm, or something.

  17. Re:Here's why I won't use it on Phoenix 0.3 Is Out · · Score: 1

    Er, Airmiles and Hotmail work fine for me. The IGN website has the same problem you listed. I can't verify the last one, though. Are you using an ancient version of the browser, or something? This is Mozilla 1.0.1 and half of your pages work as they are intended.

  18. Re:I feel for the writer on Red Hat 8.0 For KDE Users (And Newbies) · · Score: 1

    I hope you're not suggesting that "Joe Winpack" install LFS. Do you want him to go on a murdering spree?

  19. Re:dependency-hell on Deciding On The Future of Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    Use Gentoo or Debian, I guess. They take care of dependencies for you.

  20. Re:Unclear on Judge In RIAA Test Case Calls DMCA Unclear · · Score: 1

    I hope you realize not all of our rights are enumerated in the Constitution. In fact, the Constitution explicitly states that.

  21. Re:Somone has to say it... on Napster: The Movie · · Score: 1

    No, nobody has to say it. Sorry.

  22. Re:No proxy server in this version on Mozilla Jumps on 'Lean Browser' Bandwagon · · Score: 1
    The second bullet in the "Known Issues" section:
    Preferences are in the middle of a massive overhaul. The current state of preferences is not the final state. If your favorite or most important pref isn't available don't panic. We're working on it. See the FAQ for more information.
    Also remember this is a 0.1 release. I hope you wouldn't be using it at work.
  23. Re:Some Trillian users express usability concerns on Gaim For Windows · · Score: 2, Informative

    Unless it's different than the unix version, it *comes* with all the protocol plugins.

  24. Re:Why the need for ROMs? on Borrowing ROMs · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that many emulators let you play multiplayer games over a network. That's always fun.

  25. Re:Cracking Regions is Not a Violation on Perens Backs Down from DMCA Violation · · Score: 1

    17 USC 1201:
    No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title.

    Does region encoding effectively control access to a copyrighted work? Yes? Then the DMCA applies.
