    good. code on one screen, test on the other.

    3 monitors.
    even better. code on one screen, test on the other, watch a movie on the 3rd.
    code on one screen, test on the other, have your mail / icq / feedreader on the 3rd.

    4 monitors.
    geek! but i really couldn't find a good purpose for the 4rd one, but it looks cool...

    Oh, wait. PuTTY to watch the tail -f /var/log/messages and apache access-logs :)

  2. reverse politics. on Political Cybersquatting Or Free Speech? · · Score: 1

    it's just a sick system.
    it's not about what one wants to do (e.g. nothing), but about what king of wrong things the other wants to do (obviously everything).

    this is a very bad alternative to what the other wants to do and why the first is better at it.

    i for one don't want to vote for the least terrible option...

  3. I'm going to be rich!! on China Rewards Porn Snitches · · Score: 1

    This sounds really good, From now on I'll find out where all those porn-servers in my spams are located.

    1) receive spam.
    2) locate server.
    3) PROFIT!

  4. Not FBI. on Indymedia Seizures Initiated In Europe · · Score: 1

    Then who is doing the coordination???

  5. America is the Already the Greatest Debt Nation on The Jobs Crunch · · Score: 1

    $500.000.000.000+ and rising each day.
    That too will have some impact on the economy. GLOBALLY. Thank you mister Bush!

  6. insulting??? naive!!! on Chimp Can Hack Diebold Electronic Voting System · · Score: 1

    "Quite honestly it's somewhat insulting to elections officials and volunteers," he said to the idea that elections officers would tamper with vote results.

    It's also somewhat insulting to parents to say there are children who are stealing or do underage drinking, while OF COURSE no good citizen would do such thing.

  7. Re:..the one patch you don't need. on Microsoft To Provide IE Patches for Windows XP Only · · Score: 1

    I know, but this core is problem of the windows-hell.

    Windows-updates should only retrieve the needed files and install them. There is no need for cross-site scripting or whatever fancy buggy features in updating a system.

    if you want to make something too general and flexible it HAS to break at some point. :(

  8. The one patch I need... on Microsoft To Provide IE Patches for Windows XP Only · · Score: 1

    ... is the patch that removes IE from my computer all together.

  9. This is BAD. on Would You Bid for a Job? · · Score: 1

    I think competition is, no, can be a good think, but i want professional people taking care of me, not desperate people (willing to work for $5/h)

    Or is the next step that the patients can set the minimum salary they want the nurses to have and they cough up the difference?

    Well, rather shoot me.

  10. Re:Mr. Bush! on Bush vs. Kerry on Science · · Score: 1

    That's simple. Nuclear weapons are a threat to our freedom, so if there are any nukes on this planet, we'll make sure we have them. This way we ensure we're the ones pressing the buttons of Mass Destruction.

  11. remakes on War of the Worlds Remake Already Shot Overseas · · Score: 1

    If you saw 'aroung the world in 80 days' please don't believe the original story is anything close to the movie. Actually the movie is an insult once you understand the beauty of the book.

    I hope Spielberg doesn't ruin the story too much..

  12. What would be really cool too... on Turn Your House Plants Into Speakers · · Score: 1

    is having those plants say "Feed me, Seymore, feed me" :)

    Can somebody give me the universal formula for 'step 2'?

  15. MySQL on Searching For Trouble With Google · · Score: 1

    Looking for

    Welcome to phpMyAdmin x.x.x

    MySQL x.x.x-log running on localhost as root@localhost

    or parts of it can also be fun.

    I'm not sure about legal stuff, but if you were not supposed to have access, there would be a password, I'd think...

  16. doesn't work on Busted For Using Library Wi-Fi Outside The Library · · Score: 1

    like shareware there can be rules for free things.
    30-days trial periods for example.

    and if I don't lock my bike, you COULD take it. it's right there, but still I don't want you to. unless you're one of my friends, but that changes the rules.

    so perhaps you are allowed to use that wifi point for free... if you're a member of that library.

  17. SCO does not exist... on SCO Says 'Linux Doesn't Exist' · · Score: 2, Funny

    Everybody knows it's the evil mini-me version of a bigger evil company.

    So now let's sue IBM for..... ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!

  18. Re:Venue issue... on Yahoo! Not Protected From French Anti-Nazi Laws · · Score: 1

    history is fery interesting, but hardly seems relevant. the fact is we live today.

    if you've followed the news, there are wuite some simmilar problems at the moment in france. just a few days ago a jewish archive was burned down for example.

    i'd think not allowing nazi stuff to be sold to freaks is a good thing or do we want hostory to repeat itselve? hate and terrorosm are problems that have to be taken care of.

    this is one of many ways to deal with it.

    france isn't the only country that made a mess in africa by the way. and there are a lot more messy situations in the world at the moment. think israel, think balkan, think russia, think pakistan and india, think oil, think environment, think energy and so on.

    it's time we stop pointing fingers and refering to history and start doing things about it. together.

    but global politics are very complicated. it involves political and economical influences that go beyond local interests. cotton, steel, meat, coffee, settlements, weapons, oil.

    but back to yahoo. they want to do business in france and the france don't want nazi crap to be sold in their country so yahoo will have to deal woth that.

    the situation is more or less similar to the goofups of M$ (was on /. a few days ago). if you want to make money you have to take the local situation into account for the best result. that's boing business...

  19. Re:For Apple Macintosh users on Software For Slackers: Lockout · · Score: 1

    "Obviously, this application can be defeated with the proper utility software."

    Like the 'DELETE' button and the UNINSTALL tool ;)

  20. Re:Venue issue... on Yahoo! Not Protected From French Anti-Nazi Laws · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It just seems to me that if Yahoo wants to do business in France they have to do it by the french book. Make perfect sense to me.

    And there are things France can do. They can block the Yahoo-site :)

    But this makes the internet and the law problems very interesting.

  21. De-centralize on VOIP Progress To Be Hobbled By Wiretap Costs? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    like DC++ or Kazaa.

    Provide services around the VOIP like a voicemailbox or a phonebook. charge for those services, not for the VOIP.

    Since you're not into VOIP, let the FBI go elsewhere with their demands.

    for free VOIP: http://www.speakfreely.org/

  22. Shoes? on The IOC's 'Clean Venue' Policy · · Score: 1

    So what is you wear the wrong type of sportshoes? Are they from you aswell?

    I would like to suggest XP-SP2 as the no.1 vapourware project for 2004 ;)

  24. Re:Common Sense on Survival Time for Unpatched Systems Cut by Half · · Score: 1

    but my parents don't have the 2nd pc, the extra network card, and the knowledge to put it all together.

    that's why I make them bring their computer to my place if it needs fixing and upgrading. safely behind my firewall :)

  25. How solar sails work on Cosmos Solar Sail Getting Close To Launch · · Score: 1

    The http://solarsails.jpl.nasa.gov/introduction/how-sa ils-work.html article nicely explains the concept of solar sails to "dummies".
