  1. Re:Most extreme/bizarre display setup available no on XFree86 4.3.0, Latest Binutils Imported In NetBSD · · Score: 0

    As far as 'rare' goes, I would imagine that X on a pdp11 would be 'impressive'. But that's only if you mean 'could we imagine', instead of 'could we do'.

  2. microsoft? Hypocrites? on Microsoft Fights to Weaken Washington Anti-Spam Law · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Not the company that oversees half-assed "privacy" organisations while promoting palladium (sp?). Surely you jest!

  3. statistic analysis not so random on Fooled by Randomness · · Score: 0

    since 87% of all facts are made up on the spot!

  4. Re:How long until... on Slashback: Intuit, Telemetry, Meetup · · Score: 0

    I know that there are no financial programs for GNU/Hurd.

    GNUmeric, maybe?
    Hell, even bc beats quickbooks, imho...
    unless you're on windows, where I've always used microsoft money, personally.
  5. Re:U? on Lineo: Alive And Well In Japan? · · Score: 0

    I was just thinking it was pronounced "buzzwordCommerce" ;)

    That's officially the first time I've seen that particular one, however. I wonder if it's a japanese only term?

  6. It makes more sense to me... on Compiling Under Wine · · Score: 0

    To develop unix programs on windows, than to develop windows programs on unix. Based on the wich platform the developer is more likely to be running, of course. (all of my developer friends run windows)

  7. Dave makes a great 'fortune' on Dave Barry Answers Alert Slashdot Readers' Questions · · Score: 0

    but I can't say he's my favorite columnist. This interview shows why. *Yawn*

  8. "Offline readers"?!?! on Programs for Reading Text Files? · · Score: 0


    My memory is dim; but didn't they used to have software that downloaded your mail or articles from whatever BBS you were reading and do teh same thing?

    I'd imagine looking around the text utils section of simtel.net might be worthwhile...

  9. soft updates? on BSD Journaled File System Ready For Testing · · Score: 0

    Hasn't soft updates been proven "good enough" as far as data integrity goes, and slightly better performance-wise? If that's the case, shouldn't we (we=*bsd) be focusing on breaking new ground instead of trying to play catch-up with linux?

  10. *BSD's behaving badly on MicroBSD Is No More · · Score: 0

    This is exactly the kind of hostile chest-thumping that Greg Lehey was warning about in this month's Daemon's Advocate. And we can see the extention of the behavior he was pointing out. Potentially worthwhile contributors have been chased off simply because they made some not-maliciously-intended mistakes in their [b]beta[/b] releases.

    If this kind of hostile enviroment continues; the "BSD is dying" trolls may just be proven right!

  11. How long until... on Slashback: Intuit, Telemetry, Meetup · · Score: 0

    we see Quicken commercials for our Linux pc's?

    Then I'll KNOW it's time to switch over to gnu/hurd! ;)

  12. Too bad... on LinuXbox Boots · · Score: 0

    ...that NetBSD hasn't been ported to the Xbox.

    Then we'd have the added bonus of it being a Microsoft-approved license. ;)

  13. Only 20g? on Compaq Brings Back iPaq Music Center, Drops Price · · Score: 0

    Did I read that right? Only a 20g hard drive in this day and age when I can get an 80g one for under $200?

    I guess at $399, I can spring the extra $200 for a >100g drive, but still....

  14. Crap :( on FreeBSD 4.6.2 Released · · Score: 1, Interesting

    ..meanwhile, I'm downloading netbsd.

    Given that this is only a (very) minor point release, I don't expect I'm missing too terribly much.

  15. Re:Reason this thread only has 35 comments on Longer Lasting Caffeine · · Score: 0

    No, the real reason is that this article never made it to page one; so right next to no-one saw it.

  16. Re:Redhat's "basic" support is useless! on Red Hat Takes Aim at SuSE, Mandrake · · Score: 0
    Bottom line- don't be swayed by "buzz" or a brand name. Buy what's proven- really, truly proven.


    IOW: Debian GNU/Linux
  17. Dose this mean...? on Netrek · · Score: 0

    That the oldest video game system is no longer PONG? ;);)

    (stands back and waits for people to point out that spacewars was developed in 1969 or something....)

  18. Re:According to Bugzilla... on Mozilla 1.0 RC2 is out · · Score: 0

    ^Btw, this is under win98 fwiw.

  19. Re:According to Bugzilla... on Mozilla 1.0 RC2 is out · · Score: 0

    I was able to just fine. In fact I'm able to use the preferences just fine too.

    AND I re-installed over RC1, too. :p

    The only problem I have is not being able to use the side pane; but I don't use that anyways so who cares.

  20. Re:Yea.. on Gates Admits Stripped Down Windows Possible · · Score: 0

    If the 9 states win, not only will I believe that Bill Gates is the Goatse man, but I'll know that he stretched himself so wide to make room for the monkeys to fly out. ^_^

    Might not be first, but it's mine. :p :p

  22. Re:Awesome on Recycling Vintage Alphas with Debian · · Score: 0

    Again, I have to ask...why the fuck would anyone bother with quake one when you can have the features and far better graphics of quake three?

    To answer your question, yes I have played quake three...back in 96 when it came out. I moved on with my life somewhere around 98 (I believe when q2 came out, don't quote me, however)

  23. Re:Awesome on Recycling Vintage Alphas with Debian · · Score: 0

    I don't understand why you don't just go buy an >1g computer and run quake from there.
    Hell, you can even get a decent 500mhz box for not too much....

  24. I can just imagine on Recycling Vintage Alphas with Debian · · Score: 0

    Running a beowulf cluster of these! It'd be almost as fast as my intel box! :)

  25. Re:The annoying stick in your head song for today on Weather Balloons as Wireless Telephone Technology · · Score: 1

    Not until you mentioned it. :-/

    Now it looks like it's time to install windows and morpheus and so some video hunting. :-/
    Hope I don't get stuck w/ the cruddy euro version again. YUCK. :(
