  1. LOC is for idiots on American Programmers are Slackers · · Score: 1

    If you have a decent compiler, it shouldn't matter.

  2. win2000...egad! on Salon on why "Linux Needs Help" · · Score: 1

    Hmm.. maybe that's because your running BETA software... could that be it?

  3. Paid links on Review:Software Runaways · · Score: 1

    I'm not equating the two, and I'm certainly not implying that something is being sold to Amazon, though I believe that with cookies it would be possible that through accidental or purposeful configuration amazon could receive information on the users clicking on the link.

    You believe wrongly. Read the cookie spec some time. Then you too can tell people that amazon.com cannot read slashdot.org cookies.

  4. Heil Lucas! on Star Wars Theater Rules · · Score: 1

    Good one less person in line in front of me! See if you can spread this boycot far and wide, try to concentrate on the Chicagoland area if you could. Thanks.

  5. The Obvious Looming Bio-Catastrophe on Gene Leakage · · Score: 1

    Economists need to learn how to subtract

    Until you reduce demand, you cannot stop the cycle of consumption that is killing the planet



    Are you volunteering to kill yourself? Or not reproduce?

  6. Let 'em sue... on Doom Causes Kid to Kill · · Score: 1

    ...they have a snowballs chance in you-know-where of ever winning a case, but if it makes them feel better.... who cares?

  7. Portable computers on Dell is Building iMac Lookalikes · · Score: 1

    I thought Centipede was the debut of the trackball... or was it that really old Atari football game?

  8. Microsoft not fragmented? on Microsoft redefines Open Source · · Score: 1

    A good deal of software will run on all the above mentioned platforms. Isn't that like saying Linux is fragemented...just look..

    Linux .99, Linux 1.00, Linux 1.01, Linux 2.0, Linux 2.0.34, Linux 2.0.35, Linux 2.0.36, etc... do I have to go through all 130+ iterations of 2.1.x?

  9. Open Source vs Windows on Microsoft redefines Open Source · · Score: 1


    My comments are NOT to be copied, republished, or redistributed by ANYONE without my express written permission. (Yes, that means you too ZDNet!)


    Then why are you posting them in a public forum?

  10. Portable computers on Dell is Building iMac Lookalikes · · Score: 1

    I could have swore that Compaq had the first portable computer, long before the powerbook.

  11. Why? on Big Guns Unite To Unify Unix · · Score: 2

    Can you say "There are some things Linux can't do yet?"

  12. Thin server.... blah... on Wintel "Thin" Servers to Compete with Linux · · Score: 1

    ...who want to go back to the mainframe / host days of computing? What's next, Visual COBOL? I mean, at least with client / server I can do work if the network goes down.

  13. This is getting old on 3DFX Attacks on Glide Wrapper Authors Rage On · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about? Corporations are fined all the time for breaking the law. In extreme cases a corporate charter can be revoked. Secondly, corporations already do not enjoy the same rights as "people" or "citizens" or whatever. Corporations cannot vote. Corporations can not be drafted, serve time in jail, run for public office, etc... It is true that the Bill of Rights ddoes not apply to corportations, but it doesn't apply to you or me either, only the Federal Government. Corportations = citizen only as a "legal fiction" I believe the law states. Remember, this allows you to sue a corporation as well as the other way around. Of course, I'm sure you wish this was only a one-way street. Sue them all you want, but God forbid a corporation attempt to protect its property.

  14. deface Open Source idea on Open Source Windows · · Score: 1

    ERROR at line 1:

  15. IE5 on The Cost of Bug Fixes · · Score: 1

    Hmm... works fine for me... must be something wrong on your end.

  16. And the gov't makes an example ... on Kevin Mitnick Speaks · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and I believe everything I read on alt.2600 as well. Name a couple of these so called crackers who aren't getting their due process. You state that there are many in your post, so asking for say, 3 examples shouldn't be that hard.

  17. Ooops. on Kevin Mitnick Speaks · · Score: 0

    Huh? He plead guilty, so there is no was he was or is innocent. Hard to sue for libel when you've admitted to the things being written about.

  18. Due process on Kevin Mitnick Speaks · · Score: 2

    Why do whiners like you always fail to mention at Mitnick waived his right to a speedy trial! Not too bright, KM... but then again, if he was that bright he would never have gotten caught in the first place.

    Here's to hoping they find something to keep him in for another 5 to 10...

  19. DHBrown on Linus & Maddog on panel with MS and DH Brown · · Score: 1

    I'll bet you as much money as you'd care to lose.

    Got any other unsubstantiated rumors you'd like to bet on?

  20. Speaking of FUD... on Open discussion of Linux Limitations · · Score: 1

    This isn't FUD...

    They're talking about the very real need for a journaling file system and large scale multiprocessor support (8+ processors)

  21. Well at least the Mitnick whiners... on Melissa suspect arrested · · Score: 1

    ...will have a new name to put on their web pages... Free Smith!!! D00DZ!

  22. Cyber Attack. on Fighting the Techno-War · · Score: 1

    Good idea, treason is very fashionable this year.

  23. Reason #2367 I dislike RMS's reasoning... on Richard Stallman Interview · · Score: 2

    From the interview:



    If you're using a non free program, you've given up your freedom, your freedoms been taken away


    Taken away? Huh? If I buy a licence for proprietary software I know what I'm getting into. Nope can't have that, people entering into legal contracts and all that..

  24. OK...so... on An Experience of "Kira489" · · Score: 1

    Not to be insensitive, but what was the point of that? Just a friendly reminder not to meet someone you've met on the internet without another person along? Isn't that common sense?

    Oh, and I think an article that starts with the line Rape. It's a violent crime, arguably the most violent crime, even more savage than murder is silly. I mean come on, more savage than murder?!? Hey, no one has ever recovered from a murder.

  25. One Bottle of Old Fortran Please on Katz v Taco: Futurama · · Score: 1

    Now if Fox would only kill Family Guy...

    What the one whole episode of this they showed so far was that bad? I liked it myself.
