  1. Gnome... on GNOME ORBit Ported To Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    Gnome ported to windows... Gnome orbit into Linux kernel... What's next? Gnome takes over the world?

  2. M$ Linux? on Will Linux Save Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    If they do their distro, it would probably be based on Debian (6000 packages), have a windows emulator and make Linux accept windows drivers.

    Hm... I still prefer Debian :)

  3. Gnome on Run Gnome -- On Windows · · Score: 1

    I see a gnome through those windows... The windows broke, and the gnome now runs free...

  4. 3D nanostuff on 3D Nano Wineglass Created By NEC · · Score: 1

    Does it take a long time to render?? :)

    They should have plenty of RAM, because the model would be huge. This is because they are working with nanostuff. If they want to make something visible (and util) for human beings, they would use many RAM (and CPU time for rendering :).

  5. 10 digits, 10 bilion on FCC Considering 10-Digit Dialing [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    7 digits -> 10 to the power of 7 = 10,000,000 users.
    10 digits -> 10 to the power of 10 = 10,000,000,000.

    Where are the packages?
    Did you know that the potato packages of kde 2.0 came with a QT package with a different version of the QT version used to compile the other kde 2.0 packages?

  7. Switching desktop on Users Hack Aqua to Make It More Usable · · Score: 1

    The exact same feelling of being lost happens when a Windows user switch to other desktop environment. At least, in this case, it's worth it :)

  8. Easy Anti-aliasing on Anti-Aliased Text in X11 Continued · · Score: 2

    Anti-aliasing and blending could be done using a 3D video card (such as Voodoo or GeoForce) with a X 4.01 DRI driver.
    Was it ever tried?

  9. Re:GNU/Hurd on Debian Hurd Still Coming · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about?
    Every Linux distro has GNU software. It's not the name of a Debian product. It's how Linux distros should be called: [distro_name] GNU/Linux.

  10. GNU on Debian Hurd Still Coming · · Score: 1

    Hurd will finally make the GNU more visible.
    People will no more call the GNU/Linux system only as Linux. And it will put GNU in more evidence.
    By the way, Debian rules!

  11. Second Moon on Another New (Minor) Planet In Solar System · · Score: 1

    It could help understand how exactly gravity affects the center of a moon (or planet).

    Would anything in the center of it break (as it is pulled from all it sides)?

  12. Planet? on Another New (Minor) Planet In Solar System · · Score: 1

    Couldn't it be a moon of a planet that left it's orbit?

  13. Re:New CD-ROM drives? on Floppy CDs And DVDs? · · Score: 1

    I and some friends had Creative Labs 52x CD-ROM drives. It always stops working after a few months.
    Now i got another one. It still works, but only sometimes :)

  14. New CD-ROM drives? on Floppy CDs And DVDs? · · Score: 1

    Today's CD-ROM drives may not be able to read it. The floppy CD should be at a plastic protection (like de 5 1/4 floppy disk). And for that, you will need a different CD-ROM drive.
    No big deal on buying a new one, since today's CD-ROM drives just work for a few months anyway.

  15. layoffs on Red Hat Closes SF, Office, Lays Off Staff · · Score: 1

    Good. More people to "work" on Debian :) (Even if temporaly).

  16. Saturn on Cassini Greets Jupiter · · Score: 1
