  1. Hmmm.... on Big Guns Unite To Unify Unix · · Score: 1
    And I don't think Linux will support high-end systems for a very simple obvious reason:

    Linux developers don't have much access to these systems. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Or is there already a project in development that I should know about?

  2. Not to prolong the life of this thread, but ... on CDE vs Gnome · · Score: 1
    r00t never said to reinstall anything. He simply said to remove.

    End result: yes, Gnome is stable

    OTOH: I just checked r00t's other comment in this article and it does agree with your statement. Maybe you're right.

    Is it just me, or was r00t's score -1 before. Someone must have agreed with you.

  3. er? on Wintel "Thin" Servers to Compete with Linux · · Score: 1
    "thin" version of Windows?

    Isn't that what WinCE was for? Remember "Windows" everywhere?

    And what about NT 5? The Big Operating System that couldn't. That was for servers, I thought.

    Where's the logic?

    Windows is smart, it can multiply very rapidly: Win3.1 Win95 Win98 WinNT4 Win2000 etc etc.

  4. Reread it on CDE vs Gnome · · Score: 1
    He detailed how to _remove_ all the libraries associated with gnome. r00t was being sarcastic. Obvious flame bait.

    I am not a moderator.

  5. Yes, a practical comparison! on CDE vs Gnome · · Score: 1
    I've been looking for this for a long time. I'd like to here more. Especially about Gnome 1.04. Is it significantly more stable? Which version does Red Hat 5.9 use? And any word from KDE user who has used Gnome? I like objective viewpoints.

    As for me, I'm gonna wait on Red Hat six and watch Windows get blown away.

  6. I agree with you to some extent... on Quickie Fu · · Score: 1
    Tux is a big and slow penguin. Not quite something that I would associate with linux. Though that Tux, he portrays the kind of attitude (or lack of) that I would associate with linux. I would definitely not want some eagle or lion to stand for linux. Maybe a weasel or a farret? Ah well, too late to change now. And I am happy with Tux.

    One question though: When did GNOME become a foot?

  7. Who's Joel? on Saving MST3K · · Score: 1
    I have only seen recent episodes of MST. Who's Joel. And if she did make the show better, I'll go buy some older tapes. MST3K Marathon anyone?

  8. Maybe... on Quickie Fu · · Score: 1
    Maybe we are all paranoid MSfeed, who scurry at Bill Gates backoning? Oh no! I think I see him outside! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

  9. I made this pet game of mine featuring Tux on Quickie Fu · · Score: 0
    It is really dumb and I have only messed with it for three days in a month. Maybe that's something I should do during spring break?

    Still pretty good for a non-programmer.

  10. Admit it! You're worried. on Star Wars Retrospective in NY Times · · Score: 1
    Yes I am. Goerge Lucas used his 2nd trilogy for the original Stars Wars for a reason. And I'm sorry, but yoda's gotta a look a little slinky like most CG. The really ironic thing though: Even if this movie really sucked, it would still make many truckloads of money in the box office.

  11. Moderators, is humor outlawed? on A Different Kind of Enlightenment · · Score: 1
    It is indeed a fine line for moderation. But I feel that this post was funny. Obvious, not everyone thought so.

  12. These are the ways of nature's-passing... on A Different Kind of Enlightenment · · Score: 1
    that with complete freedom comes 99 people's grunting and moaning and 1 or 2 people with a unique original idea that may change society as a whole. Silencing vanishes them all. According to Thomas Jefferson, "It is better a hundred guilty men go free than one innocent man be punished." I am sure you can see the parallel.

    Has anyone noticed that the larger the comment the more responses, flaming or not. Which leads leads me to believe why there are so many Katz haters. And peoples, it is very easy to pick someone's comment apart and find something wrong with it. It would be better, in my opinion (whoa, did I right that out?), to simply respond with a contrary opinion.

  13. Yes, do this. Or forever hold your peace. on Mozilla "beta" Release Coming · · Score: 1
    This is the ultimate in opensource to the trade press. If mozilla fails, opensource fails (to the trade press at least). If mozilla succeeds, you can see many more opensource products to come from other companies. There is a lot in stake. If you do not contibute in the least, may the opensource gods have mercy on your soul.

  14. So true on OSI APSL Response · · Score: 1
    We really need to back RMS on this one. Love him, hate him, he's the one a lot of people respect and the one Apple should go to to be sure their liscense is open source. Bruce Perens really should have talked to RMS before squabbling to the media. Now we are going to have this public bickering going on. Hopefully now, they can come to some sort of resolution so that the powers that be are happy. Unity, lets be like our source code.
