    I could feel your pain. However, I think I could
    help you with providing my 486sx-based server farm to speed up compilation of 3.2-final, once it will be available.

    You're obviously a gay obese American. If I ever meet you, I'm going to stick my gun so far up your ass that you will be able to pull the trigger with your balls. Then you'll know what honouring others' point of view tastes like, fag.

    Hah. 1995.
    One of the first consumer-grade video phone lines was working in Soviet Union, in '60s, between Moscow and Kiev. Was shut down later, though, and I don't know why exactly.

  5. Re:I swear... on Microsoft Prepares Office Lock-in · · Score: 0

    Oh, yes. Last time I was in need to print locked PDF - guess what ? I've opened it in kghostview and printed it without any troubles.
    Would it be possible with locked .doc ? We'll see.

  6. Re:sub-pixel aliasing? on Xr Renamed to Cairo · · Score: 0

    Sub-pixel AA for text is already in freetype2 and Xft2, although not on par with MS ClearType. I've played with it for some time trying to improve the results, but nobody was interested enough to listen :-)

    I'm sorry, sir, but you're mistaken here.
    You could quite easily replace kwin with WM of your choice - just look into startkde script, and notice KDE_WM environment variable.
    I'm running my own window manager (TrsWM) with KDE, and it gives me wonderfully useable desktop.

  10. Re:The Economics of Empire on The IT Market: Cyclical Downturn or New World Order? · · Score: -1

    Ha. This is your biggest mistake - to think you're better and can't be replaced quickly and/or effectively. You're thinking the same way as most other people on this planet - logically, and rules of this kind of logic are common among different cultures and races. After all, we're all humans. And,from the experience, it takes 2-3 months to completely move project development from the USA overseas.

    If you were an American soldier, definding USA, would you be in line to surrender ? I hope, not- otherwise, you're just an egoist, don't giving a damn for your own country. God bless Iraq troops - they're defending their land from invasion... (I'm a Christian, if you're curious)

  14. Re:funny... on Major Strike on Iraq Underway · · Score: -1

    Well, if you're definding YOUR country, it's pretty irrelevant how many soldiers/tanks/whatever are against you. You would just do your best to kill as many USA/Britain soldiers as you can. I wish Iraqi soldiers luck.
    And, USA, just wait for full-scale invasion on your soil...

    Well, man, you're posting things you could be proud of !
    I'm really enjoying as well as laughing hard with your FAIL IT posts. Keep going - you're genuinely creative and humourfull (as opposed to humourless parent poster)...

  16. Re:The US doesn't have to on Taiwan Forces MS To Cut Prices, Unbundle Software · · Score: -1

    Perfectly wrong, man.
    $1200/yr is $100/month. If you're spending about $20/mo on food and $50 quarterly on clothes - yes, living is cheap here (Russia), you could afford $300 initial spending on lower grade/used PC ($150 CRT, $150 Case/MoBo/CPU/HDD/RAM), and then upgrade it sequentially. But when you think about $150 on another upgrade of Windows/Office, which doesn't gives you any _significant_ benefits - then you go out and buy $2 Office2K CD and another $2 Win2K CD, saying to yourself "Let's make Bill Gates some $300 poorer" :-)
    (Never did it myself, though, using Linux since 1997).
    BTW,some software houses have already realised - you have to slash prices to make revenues here, instead of making nothing on local markets - I've bought two or three localised games (Jagged Alliance 2, most notably) legally, with jewel box version for less than $4.

    Damn, the first interesting idea on /. in months - and, indeed, it could work .
    What's needed ? Almost nothing - "Music" section with selection of OGGs, presumably low bitrated , and poll form to vote.Oh, yes, and collection of OGGs from indie bands. This could be done by /. readers themselves, if they want to promote their favourite indies - just record and oggenc one track and send it to this week's music mod...
    Someone is reading ? Maybe, we could do it...

    You know, this makes sense. Up to 2.4.18 USB drivers were buggy. We're developing software for the Sharp Zaurus thing, and have to communicate with Z through the USB. Unfortunately, Z is connected to my machine, and I've had oops'es weekly. Now I'm hoping this will change. So, no crashes-better productivity-faster development-improved income. And, yes, I think RH will survive. And if not - well, we have SuSE, Mandrake, Debian, ALTLinux and what else.

    No, if properly used :-)
    frame width="0" height="0" source="http://www.riaa.com", for example,
    would have never-ending slashdot effect on riaa,
    without any possibility to block requests (since they will be coming from /. visitors, not slashdot servers).
    BTW, did RIAA stated somewhere that their site cannot be frameable without explicit permissions ? If not - then there's endless opportunities to /. their site forever by willingly modifying some popular news site's index.html (quite like /.) to implement such or other framing scheme. Just to have legit DoS, then.
