  1. Colombus didnt discover america on Chinese Explorers 'Discovered America'? · · Score: 1

    Vikings came to Newfoundland years before to fish, but we already knew that for a while they even teach it in high school history(well here at least).

  2. Re:An open source developers last conversion with on Open Source Developers Mostly Pros, Not Weenies · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Not only is this a offtopic flamebait but you post it on every damn thread.

    For a M$ sellout youre spending a whole lot of time on /.

    If you dont have anything interesting to add to a thread just dont post please.

  3. Re:This Rules!!!! on AOL Time Warner Files Anti-Trust Suit against MS · · Score: 1

    AOL is suing M$ not netscape(they own netscape). Read before you comment please.

  4. Kernelnewbies.org on Breaking Into The World Of Kernel Hacking? · · Score: 2, Redundant

    Here's a good place to start, the web page and the irc channel on irc.openprojects.org #kernelnewbies.

    Happy Hacking!

  5. Re:Is it DEAD yet? on FreeBSD Changes Hands Again · · Score: 2, Insightful

  6. Re:Mail flooding on Killustrator Author Required to Pay Two Grand · · Score: 1

    I meant commenting with an actual mail not write a perl script that sends a million mails...

  7. Mail flooding on Killustrator Author Required to Pay Two Grand · · Score: 1

    I think its time for the OpenSource community to be able to defend its projects from threats like this one.

    When such imbecile suits are filed against a project the email addresses(info,support,etc...) should be posted with the article whether on slashdot or elsewhere and we should all /. their mailboxes.

    Of course, that's just one mean of defense and others should be thought about.

  8. Re:try these on Napster Bans Non-Native Clients · · Score: 1

    Better yet flipr.com...

  9. FLIPR has a better model! on Napster Going Legit · · Score: 1


    www.flipr.com is a better model.

    1-They pay the artists 4cents a download
    2-The client is free for users(there's also a value-added client you pay for though)

    The system is built, its in beta testing right now.

    You can register to become a beta tester thru the site

  10. Re:Champ de Mars is in Quebec! on Canada Plans Mars Mission · · Score: 1

    To be totally accurate there's a little park under the Eiffle tower in Paris called Champs de mars thats where it all starts.

    There's also one in Port-au-Prince in Haiti.

    And yes its a metro station in Montreal too.

    French speaking people are consistent,hey!

  11. WTF is up with them? on More Thoughts on Microsoft vs. Open Source · · Score: 1

    Im wondering why MS is FUDing the OSS Movement so much lately...

    And I think it has to do with all the support available in the 2.4(USB,pppoe,etc...) 'coz since the release we had Balmer, the windows guys(cant remember his name) and then Mundie, so what is it? It smells like panic.

    1- 2.4 has enough hw support to make linux a serious competitor to Win for clueless users.
    2- Linux is not a corporation thus MS is confused about how to defeat it?
    3- The quality of OSS in general is getting too good to be ignored?
    4-...

    ????

  12. Mac OS X beta somewhere? on Rootless XFree On Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know where I could find a OS X beta? We're on the list to get the real thing when it gets out but for development speed we would need a beta copy which apple took off their site.

  13. Re:News for Nerds? on Inside XML · · Score: 1

    damn!
    Are you trying to be funny or are you way high on dope??

  14. FLIPR on New Peer-to-Peer Designs · · Score: 2

    This one is a free application that provides people with a way to share music and other media while keeping track of all the transfers to be able to pay the artists.

    Check it out.. The server is on linux too...

  15. www.flipr.com on Napster's Execution Stayed; Not Fair Use · · Score: 1

    This app might be a valid alternative...

  16. la creme de la creme != la piece de resistance on Canadians Hang Bug Off Golden Gate · · Score: 1

    la creme de la creme(both creme spelled the same) is right in that context though la piece de resistance usually means the main dish of a meal so one might argue that this expression is out of place...

    from an annoying french canadian

  17. Re:3 words on Antitrust · · Score: 1

    whats wrong with Jon Katz??

  18. Was Sun involved?? on Antitrust · · Score: 1

    When I saw the movie I wondered if Sun was involved in the production. We see the Sun logo in the background when Milo and his friend get their prices and they seem to be programming in Java if Im not mistaking...

  19. Re:The best choice? Absolutely! on Is The U.S. No Longer The Choice For Freedom? · · Score: 1

    Your comment is weird. You are judging Norway on things you would find in the US. Of course coke and McDonalds are more expensive in Europe. Those are American products. That doesnt mean that eating well costs more. Having been to France(Not Norway but still) and the US, I can honestly say that eating and drinking well is cheaper there. Its like youre saying "Its more expensive to live like an American in other places than the USA"

  20. Come to Montreal on Will Americans Have Trouble Finding IT Jobs, Overseas? · · Score: 1

    If you want the European feel and another language than english you can always come to Montreal. You wont have to learn french but you will hear it around you. Plus the IT business is booming here.
