  1. Re:geek agnostism/atheism on Ask Slashdot: Geeks Stereotypes and Their Origins · · Score: 1

    I'm athiest because I don't believe in god. And that's the bottom-line. Did you pull this out of your ass?

  2. Re:Open source program on Password Overload · · Score: 1

    Hmmph! Open source software developed on a closed source operating system using closed source development tools. Shame on you!

  3. Re:What about Netscape? on WSP Petitions MS to Make IE Meet W3C Standards · · Score: 1
    AOL/Netscape STILL can't do tables correctly and crashes or dies with a DOS on pages with spelling mistakes in the HTML. That's pitiful.

    Netscape DOES do tables right if you DO them right. For example, most (all?) the table problems I've seen is when a tag is not closed. Are they depending on MSIE to 'correct' the error for them?

    And, what do you mean with 'spelling mistakes in the HTML'? I've never seen that happen before. Groundless accusations are pitiful.

    Netscape is, though, still behind on standards (CSS!), but that's what Mozilla is going/suppose to fix.

    For what I've seen, read, and heard from industry professionals (such as members of WC3), Microsoft has done everything possible to follow public WC3 specs.

    WC3? Oh, you mean W3C! Sure, all-knowledgeable one.

  4. Re:Everyone just calm down on Evolution is a Myth in Kansas · · Score: 1
    Is evolution too weak? Does it need to be protected by law? Do we need a law to root out creationism? Evolution=freedom? Freedom that needs to be protected by prohibiting the rest?

    The article indicated that evolution was what was being rooted out. I have not read anything against creationism, but I haven't went through all 1K+ posts.

    All freedom is equal. But some freedom is more equal then others. So: just calm down :-)

    What's that suppose to mean?

    And, what's with this Slashdot load, nothing seems to be loading... This is too often now, and the comment limit is annoying.

    That's why you browse with Lynx!

  7. Re:copy con on Interview: Illiad Answers · · Score: 1

    Ah I see, thanks. Actually, I tried ^Z as well, and I might've meant to post that instead. Regardless, I've been in Linux too long. But it makes good when I get sick of being in Windows. (Console is good!). Anyways, I didn't know you had to hit enter after ^Z.

    Hmm. I remember doing this ages ago, but now I can't get it working. When I hit ^D it just inserts it rather than stop.

    How dare you!

  10. light=1 & noboxes=1 on Assorted Changes to Slashdot · · Score: 1

    The light version of Slashdot does not read cookies. This requires me to login via each article to moderate/post. Of course, it's inconsistent enough since when you click on an article it's no longer in light mode. I use it because IMO the main page looks ugly because all the articles seem centered (lynx).

  13. Re:There's already an Open Standard... on Microsoft and AOL Fight Over Instant Messaging · · Score: 1

    First off, I'd like to say both protocols ("Instant Messaging" versus "IRC") are designed differently. While I speak, there are 48,855 people on EFnet, which also shows me how much you actually researched your claims. (Although 40,000 of those are probably idle clients or bots.)

    I remember this being posted (as a comment) on Slashdot by the author on some Pirates of Silicon Valley article. ( http://www.fre eyellow.com:8080/members7/geraldholmes/MScartoon1. html)

    "monstrously complex"? I don't find hitting "+" and "-" and occasionally being prompted for dependencies a difficult task. Oh, you can also hit "?" if you get confused.

  16. Re:compiling kernels? SARCASM? on The Metcalfe-Peterely Fun Continues · · Score: 1

    I see. That's not YOUR opinion, that's
    principal. Or common sense? And you don't fit
    in that category, because you're one of the elite.
    Correct?

  17. Re:Can't compile=stupid! on The Metcalfe-Peterely Fun Continues · · Score: 1

    ... or they can download it! For free! They're
    aware you have to learn, that's why they haven't
    given it a chance. Because you have to read
    documentation.

  18. Re:jeezus on CMGI Acquires AltaVista · · Score: 1

    I like Google because it has no ads, but it doesn't offer all the features that I've been used to with AltaVista. For example, you can't even search by phrases in Google (99% of my searches). Yeah, I've noticed they improved, too. No porn ads in searches!

  19. Re:Great install!!! on Caldera Graphic Installation Screenshots · · Score: 1
    The only negative thing to say is the fact that you don't have control of what packages are installed.

    Oh, that's all. So, you don't even have control of what packages goes into your system. I don't see how that couldn't of been implemented, and everything else ... Unless they were in a hurry, of course. But I'm sure it was thoroughly tested! (especially considering everyone complaining about it not working.)

    You might try upgrading to 4.x. (It works in 4.6.)

  21. Re:More people will use it on Caldera Graphic Installation Screenshots · · Score: 1

    ... and the crazy Unix commands make sense when you read documentation or the man pages. I'm not against the GUI, but it's not any harder if you read up on what you're doing. The "stupid people"? You mean lazy. Oh, and maybe the less savvy (anti-nerds) will be left behind, but since they probably don't even install Windows from scratch, that's a different issue. It's getting easier, though -- I wonder how much more it can get without losing it's functionality.

  22. Re:Not original poster. on Nick Petrely responds to Metcalfe · · Score: 1

    OK, X didn't come with the most flashy fonts, but that doesn't mean you can't install them. You don't *have* to use MS fonts, there are plenty others out there, so Verdana is not a requirement. You could get xfstt and read the installation instructions which'll just require a symlink to your Windows fonts directory if you desire all of them.

    Hmm, Netscape ran faster than IE on my P75, and also currently on my PIII450 (or so it seems).
