  1. Re:Sweet! on Hijacking .NET · · Score: 1

    I have several programs that can acccess this function. One's called Word, another's called Outlook, and there's a few more I forgot.

  2. Re:A Movie Not To See on Evangelion Live Action Movie · · Score: 1

    Then maybe I should watch the whole series, or at least the last 4 or 5 episodes, and see if I "get it" this time. We'll see :)

  3. A Movie Not To See on Evangelion Live Action Movie · · Score: 1

    I really enjoyed watching the characters interact in the Evangelion. But the last episode was a total letdown, which really ruined the series. So I thought about watching "End of Eva" but several reviews that said "don't bother, it's basically just screwing over the fans."

    Skipping this one. Let me know when a GOOD anime is going live action.

  4. But um, it's GPL, right? on Ghostscript Leaves GNU · · Score: 1

    If I agree to use the software under the GPL, I'm allowed to take GNU Ghostscript and do whatever I want with it, right? (as long as I abide by the GPL). Someone explain why this is a big deal. If I license a product to you under the GPL, the source is forever free...or not?

  5. What about bacteria? on Chimps Belong in Human Genus? · · Score: 1

    I've heard in science classes from high school to college that there's barely a difference in a bacteria's DNA and ours. So 99.4% is the magic number?

  6. Re:Does this version improve font display? on Opera Releases Version 7 For Linux · · Score: 1

    I'm on gentoo. O7, and 6, have really nice fonts.

  7. Re:ACK! on GNOME 2.3 Snapshot, KDE 3.1.2 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The press releases have been like that since 3.0, I don't about stuff before that. They're just trying to appear more professional, nothing wrong with that.

  8. Re:Opera on Mozilla Firebird Soars Into View · · Score: 1

    Edit->Inline Find. Then when you hit CTRL+F you can just start typing. It was an unofficial option since Opera 6, maybe earlier.

  9. Re:Cash on Gentoo Games · · Score: 1

    And please people! Just because Gentoo is free doesn't mean the developers don't deserve some compensation. They have a store, and I have the big Gentoo poster hanging on my wall now :) Big projects like Gentoo and their mirror system must require a decent bit of cash, so if you like it and use it, please help them out (Disclaimer: I'm just a satisfied user who moved from LFS to Gentoo)

  10. Re:Hit Me Baby One More Time on RIAA Apologizes for Incorrect Infringement Notice · · Score: 1

    Good example...
    My insurance rate probably goes up, and everyone thinks I'm a moron for leaving the car unattended. I was asking for it, same as having bootleg music on a public server.

  11. Re:"Forgued" Notes on New US $20 bills Released, Colors & Layout Change · · Score: 1

    And if that's not bad enough, it also spells orgefu, which is a rare type of Mexican horse-eating carp.

  12. Re:Finally! on AMD Athlon XP 3200+ Released · · Score: 1

    Wooh! Hot seat!

  13. Re:Hit Me Baby One More Time on RIAA Apologizes for Incorrect Infringement Notice · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm not sure you can have an FTP that allows anonymous access and not call it public. If you're going to host videos/songs then you should be smart about it. Some dumbass that puts an MP3 file on his school's FTP server deserves to get caught. Just don't allow anon access, and you should be okay (because if they try to break in, guess what? That's called illegal entry)

  14. Re:Encryption? I doubt it. on Buckminsterfullerene Strikes Again - Nanotube RAM · · Score: 1

    If you want to save the state I guess you could encrypt it. But then I guess it'd be easier to save it to an encrypted disk, then wipe it.

  15. Re:Great for security, too! on Buckminsterfullerene Strikes Again - Nanotube RAM · · Score: 1

    Let your NanoRAM be encrypted too. Supply the passphrase at boot.

  16. From what I hear... on 'Quicksilver' Website and Release Date · · Score: 5, Funny

    Even in the the 1700s the Shaftoes were some bad mutha-

  17. Re:Next we tested IIS on both Linux and Windows on What's Microsoft Up To? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I agree with you on that :) 5 clients (max) streaming audio isn't a real-world example.

  18. Re:The same laws should apply on Dr. Dre to pay $1.5 mil for "Illegal Sample" · · Score: 1

    I know I shouldn't (and I haven't so far :)) But if I do end up getting screwed by a dumb law/wronly applied law, I hope everyone who breaks it gets screwed. The more people get pissed about something the more likely they are to act. In this case maybe it would lead to better copyright laws.

  19. The same laws should apply on Dr. Dre to pay $1.5 mil for "Illegal Sample" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If I'm going to get in trouble because I legally encode CDs into Ogg/MP3, then why shouldn't an artist get in trouble for actually profiting off someone else's work? I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but the law should apply to everyone.

  20. Re:Next we tested IIS on both Linux and Windows on What's Microsoft Up To? · · Score: 1

    I use samba on linux specifically for filesharing. The file server hosts all my family's CDs as MP3 and Ogg files. I used to have a win2K box for the same thing, and I don't notice any difference in speed.

  21. Re:Same filename as SR#1 on Latest Animatrix Short Released · · Score: 1

    Oddly enough, I tried playing this last release with Xine, and it worked perfectly, even the audio synched up.

  22. Re:Same filename as SR#1 on Latest Animatrix Short Released · · Score: 1

    What version of Wine are you using? I can't Quicktime to work with CVS or WineX

  23. Re:Great but on U.S. Navy Works To Improve Linux Security · · Score: 1

    I still need to plow through that PDF. It looked like it a lot of good info.

  24. Re:LFS Hints on Beyond Linux From Scratch 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    And there just might be information that's only available there. I used to run two LFS systems (for the learning experience) but now I'm using Gentoo. I still visit the LFS Hints often, especially when I can't find something quickly on the Gentoo forums. There's guides to cryptographic file systems, effectively using SSH, printing with CUPS, and lots more good stuff. Check out the "How to build a Pure LFS, which is based on comments/criticism from Alan Cox.

  25. Re:Good job slashdot on First HDTV Camcorder · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Ah, but for the lack of mod points.
