  1. Replacing Xfree!?! on Berlin Project Lead Holds Forth · · Score: 3

    We can't replace Xfree! If we did, what new scapegoat out there would we blame for performance bloat?

  2. Hope for the future on IBM's Upcoming Linux Ad Campaign · · Score: 1

    Perhaps this ad spree will bring universal agreement on the correct pronounciation of "Linux". Personally, I pronounce it the way Linus does, but I have witnessed many a bitter feud over this. What we need is a major campaign like this one to bring agreement over this potentially divisive issue.

    Hopefully, IBM will do the right thing.

  3. Re:This is part of our destiny. on Solar Sails · · Score: 1
    Actually, Relativity only says that c is a barrier. Things that travel faster than light may never slow down, and things that travel slower may never speed up. Things that travel faster look like they are time traveling to those who travel slower.

    Of course, no one has any concrete proof that things travel faster, but it may be that those folks who think they sent massless particles faster than light actually caught some inderect evidence of objects on the other side of the barrier...maybe.

    Maybe they are just full of the shite.

  4. Re:No such thing as "GLibC Hell"! Naivity kills! on Linux Applications And "glibc Hell"? · · Score: 1

    Thank you!

    I was reading all these posts thinking, "Am I crazy? Do I not understand the situation here? Why isn't anyone bringing up version.revision numbering and symlinks?"

    You bring sanity back to my life.
