  1. On Linux... on First Ten Programs on New Install? · · Score: 1

    nethack Gnome 2.6 XMMS XEmacs + auctex Firefox Thunderbird gaim GIMP giFT + giFTcurs Enemy Territory

  2. Re:Qsound... on MP3...in Surround Sound · · Score: 1

    Actually, many boomboxes use Qsound, as well as my Philips sound card. Of course, it doesn't work in Linux.

  3. Re:Sci-Fi on I, Robot Trailer Available · · Score: 1

    Or "The Detective's Story" from Dan Simmons' Hyperion. This has one of the best plot devices I have ever read. "I'm here about a homicide." "Who was killed?" "I was." Very cool.

  4. Re:Finally! on Navy Unveils Polyglot Chat For Iraq · · Score: 1

    God, you are an ingenious fuck. How much more superior you are because you can flame someone on Slashdot for an honest mistake.

  5. Re:closed source != bad always on ATI Releases Drivers for XFree 4.3.0 · · Score: 1
    #emerge ati-drivers

    Yep, we're missing out.

  6. Re:Very well. on Gentoo Linux 2004.0 Released · · Score: 1

    From emerge --help:

    --usepkg (-k short option)
    Tell emerge to use binary packages (from $PKGDIR) if they are available, thus possibly avoiding some time-consuming compiles. This option is useful for CD installs; you can export PKGDIR=/mnt/cdrom/packages and then use this option to have emerge "pull" binary packages from the CD in order to satisfy dependencies.

  7. Re:Doubtfull on Space Elevators Going Up · · Score: 2, Funny

    Can you explain how this 'centrifugal force' is holding the cable up? I've never heard of such a thing :)

  8. Re:Is this new? on Dell Offers FreeDOS With New PCs · · Score: 1

    I think Dell is just capitalizing on the small geek market; after all, it probably SAVES money to NOT put Windows on a box. FreeDOS, though? Better to keep up various distro CDs.

  9. Re:one-time PINs on Fake ATM Fraud Expose · · Score: 1

    Hell no. You can change your PIN whenever you want. In fact, when I applied for a card less than a month ago, the agent had me write my desired PIN on a sticky note and hand it over. Since PINs are arbitrary in the first place, one-time PINs are definitely feasible.

  10. Kazaa Lite and Google, anyone? on EFA Claims No Illegal Material On mp3s4free.net · · Score: 1
    Try searching for 'kazaa lite' on Google sometime. This little statement comes up near the bottom of the page:

    In response to a complaint we received under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed 7 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read the DMCA complaint for these removed results.

    That's right, Google does self-police their content. They have to, if they want to remain a company.
  11. Re:Yeah, I get the Internet too on China Sends First Taikonaut To Space · · Score: 1

    Have you seen FOX News lately? Or at all? Not to mention MSNBC. CNN may be right-wing, but it's left of those piss-holes.

  12. Re:ATI drivers on Linux Kernel 2.6.0-test6 Released · · Score: 1

    ver 3.2.5 works perfectly for me!

  13. Re:Error in article: on Space Elevator Going Up · · Score: 1

    Probably not, since Earth orbits between Mars and the sun. We should be more worried about the cable colliding with our own moon.

  14. Re:MAME? on Will Classic Games Disappear Forever? · · Score: 1
    I'd pay for ROMs if there was a single site I could go to download them with total convenience. The best one that I used to visit no longer allows the downloads. There were too many complaints from the content holders and there was too much bandwidth to pay for.

    Do you mean mame.dk? I've been able to find just about any ROM I can think of there.

  15. Re:Suzuki Samurais on He Blows Things Up So You Don't Have To · · Score: 1

    Hmm... yet they still roll over and paralyze people in real life.

  16. Re:Hey... on #debian & IRC Politics · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I always thought it was l33t-speak for "woo-hoo".

  17. Re:How to restore functionality on No Pop-up Blocking in Netscape 7.0 · · Score: 1

    MultiZilla has a subproject that adds a google toolbar to Mozilla. Check it out.

  19. Re:OpenGL 2.0 and OpenSource on Doom3 and OpenGL2.0 · · Score: 1
    Then the next project was RtCW...

    ...which was done by Gray Matter. Sorry to burst your bubble.

  20. Re:Plugins on Mozilla 1.1 Alpha Released · · Score: 1

    Actually. the Netscape plugin detects Mozilla builds automatically and should work.
