  1. Re:How long ago? on U.S. East Coast Bombarded By ... What? · · Score: 1

    "like that flight attendant to fell 40,000 feet in the tail end of a plane and survived"

    can ye point me to more info bout this?

  2. Yes, but is it FREE? on Microsoft Releases Windows CE 3.0 Source · · Score: 3

    You can come to church, but that doesn't mean that the blessing of the lord is with you, you know... just because they release the source code, it doesn't mean anything. It is just them trying to make it seem like they are dealing with competition (linux) so that the government doesn't get mad. Duh!

  3. Text images on images.google.com · · Score: 1

    Most pictures on teh web are pictures of text...

  4. Re:Is there a real solution to this? on Linux Descending into DLL Hell? · · Score: 1

    well, most packing management systems for linux do this too, RPM and debian, specifically...

  5. Re:Anyone would flip out on Gnome Hackers Sorting Out Differences RE:2.0 · · Score: 1

    instead of all this gnome bullshit, why don't people just stop and feel the love of KDE?

    And you Mandrake 7.2 users, before you bitch about speed, realize that you are likely using an old version, and you should upgrade to the latest version, which has greatly improved speed and stability.

  6. Is there a real solution to this? on Linux Descending into DLL Hell? · · Score: 1

    How can everyone agree to make libs compatible, backwards compatible, and standard? Isn't there some way to accomplish this?

  7. Re:What, so slahdot.org is picking up ... on Themes.org Cracked · · Score: 1

    You are so good at pointing out things that everyone else so clearly knows you should replace CmdrTaco!

    moderators, mod the parent of this all the way up. after 4 replies, he is the first one to get this simple fact right... good job, pressman.

  10. This should help... on GPL FAQ · · Score: 1

    about time. I was beginning to think the GNU people wrote some shell utilities, a compiler, and a license and just stopped doing things. Nice to see response!

  11. Re:oh yeah... on Another Free Operating System: NewOS · · Score: 1

    thanks for pointing that out... I just can't run it because my video card (Diamond Stealth 2000, an S3 card) isn't supported.

    okay....

    someone mod this guy down to hell...

    where he will have to put up with geeks, numerous partitions, and magic the gathering for the rest of eternity.

    is it just me, or are the colors in slashdot messed up? I am getting some blue in here!

  13. oh yeah... on Another Free Operating System: NewOS · · Score: 1

    with all the real OS's we have, and all the failed head starts (atheos, gnu/hurd) this one is bound to be it!

    don't get me wrong though... I think it's cool. Best of luck to him(them?)!

  14. Re:Automagical solutions on Attrition.org Defacement Mirror Frozen In Time · · Score: 1

    That sort of system would be wide open to abuse.
    People would be quite stupid with it... and you know that. With all the DoS attacks and other generally not-good things attrition gets thrown at them by stupid little script kiddies, that sort of system would take much longer to maintain, going through the sites, verifying that they are defaced and so on.

    If you think you can come up with a less labor intensive way to mirror them, why don't you go make one yourself. I would much rather read attrition's errata and going postal, personally.

  15. a new career... on William Shatner To Host American "Iron Chef"? · · Score: 1

    maybe he got tired of writing novels about his *DEAD* character on Star Trek...

    God I hope so... he just kept writing books explaining how Kirk wasn't dead, how he couldn't die, and everything else...

    don't get me wrong.. I loved the books. But far too much Kirk!

    no, stupid. I meant what I said. Maybe you have that problem, of saying things without thinking about them...

  17. Hmmm.... on Dynamic Pricing Returns · · Score: 1

    better catch them prices quick!

  18. A bit unfair... on Rivals Upset At Windows XP Features · · Score: 1

    not to mention that the article mentions:

    For the first time, MSN Messenger installs and loads automatically every time XP is run.

    If it weren't for MS's corner on the OS market, MSN wouldn't have any more of a chance of catching on than some dinky chat program I were to write...

    When I talk to non-nerd people and they tell me they have a hotmail account, msn service, or msn messenger service, I ask them why they use that. Their common reply: "That's what popped up when I first got my computer"... now, we all know that MSN isn't the best messenger, and hotmail isn't the best freemail service.

    THIS SUCKS!

  19. Y'know... this -could- be a good thing... on Rivals Upset At Windows XP Features · · Score: 1

    maybe { Iowa Attorney General, AOL, RealNetworks, Norton and a law professor. }, and everyone else MS is dissing will have to find a new platform to develop under. If all these gather togeather in support of linux, they will be guaranteeing themselves a platform that no one can take away from them.

    he makes many good points... instead of working to make windows in linux, they should work on opensourcing all those plugins

    YEAH! If the google toolbar works in it, that would make it all worthwhile. Damn the google toolbar rocks. It is the only reason I have Windows... sure, there is the little javascript hack... but it is no toolbar. google! something else interesting: the first result in a google search for "hacker" yields this beloved document:
