  1. Re:She wrote a poem about BillG? on Microsoft's 10-year-old Certified Professional · · Score: 1
  2. Re:The point of the game on We Love Katamari Review · · Score: 1

    You didn't mention rolling a piñata all over getting things stuck on it.

  3. Re:Won't somebody please think of the ATM machines on IBM Officially Kills OS/2 · · Score: 1

    Spanish speakers save crap and just "cajero" (teller).

  4. Re:Really??!?! Wowzers!!! on Apple Switch to Intel Not a Big Loss for IBM · · Score: 1

    What, no "no shit, Sherlock!"?

  5. Black menu (Cthulhain?) on Windows Longhorn Beta Screenshots · · Score: 1

    I find similarity with (black|flux)box very disturbing.

  6. Right now... on Tear Down the Firewall · · Score: 1

    I know it's a rhetorical question, but let's say some script kiddie is trying a dictionary attack on ssh. The firewall will be useful to block that IP. Of course it is just _a_ tool, not _the_ tool for the job.

    I'm not giving up iptables anytime soon ;)

  7. Re:BLUE ??? on Fujitsu Bundling SUSE Linux · · Score: 1

    It happened around version 7.1. The distro was split into professional (blue box) and enterprise (green box).

  8. Re:Better question yet on Open-source Licensing: BSD or GPL? · · Score: 1

    PHP and MySQL vs the world, please

  9. Yesterday's thread on Astrologer Sues NASA Over Comet Probe · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Here. Dupes are not just for articles anymore.

    Think Deep (TM)

  11. Re:Actually, on 11-Nation Raid on Net Pirates · · Score: 2, Informative

    Björk is from Iceland

  12. Re:Uh... on Possible RSS Abuse in Longhorn · · Score: 1

    Insightful?

    >a beta in an OS that is not even in beta.

    And you have never seen crocks like this make it to releases, right?

  13. Re:The Force is *retarded* with this one... on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 1


    These are not the trolls you're looking for

  14. Re:Mods? Troll? wth? on Internet to Pakistan Goes Down · · Score: 1

    My money is on these: they must have watched too much Beavis & Butthead and know nothing about Americas geography.

  15. Genius... or not so? on Cringely Shows How to Get Free Cell Calls · · Score: 1

    No company, at least in Mexico, gives real unlimited cell-to-cell time. Much less when they figure it out all.

  16. Heisenberg on New Model Solves Grandfather Paradox · · Score: 1

    > uncertainty is eliminated
    ... must be rolling in his grave

  17. Re:You insensitive clod! on New Model Solves Grandfather Paradox · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is that you, Fry Farnsworth?

  18. Ah, the digital bandwagon... on Your Digital Photos Are Too Professional · · Score: 1
    Call me luddite but I'm not jumping into it anytime soon. Let's see, with 35mm film:
    • Clerks won't refuse to print the pictures for no good reason.
    • I'm still able to get high quality pictures with an ASA400+ roll.
    • You can burn the pictures onto a CD.
    • Amplifications look good.
    • Initial investment is not too high.
  19. Slack FAQ on x86-64 Slackware Clone Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Why is this news?
    Well, it's slackware working in another architecture

    Why not Debian/*buntu/Fedora/yadda?
    I don't like [package] management getting in my way, that's why.

    It's outdated!
    Get some fresh source or search slackware-current or linuxpackages

    If I wanted to compile I'd get gentoo!
    Your choice.

  20. Re:Why not Debian? on x86-64 Slackware Clone Released · · Score: 4, Insightful
    • No dependencies
    • If some package is outdated, download binaries or source and compile at will.
    • No forced update of some other package I don't want/need
    • Slapt-get and RPM are optional
  21. Re:Finally! on OpenSolaris Code Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Slackware has no init.d either, you get rc.S for single user, rc.M for multiuser and rc.4 for graphical login.

  22. Re:Meta-comment on HP Introduces Final Processor in PA-RISC Family · · Score: 1

    Denial. Suggestion that AMD is the way to go.

    I'm no (mac|intel) (zealot|fan), so I'll bake some crow for the crowd just in case.

    By that logic:
    • Shell scripters will recur to anything handy, from finger to pipes and of course a cat!
