  1. Andrew Leonard: Legend in his own mind on Is Media Attention Bad for Linux? · · Score: 1

    Wait until all of the media attention, currently focused on Microsoft, reveals unstablity and lack of security in MS Windows. Then MS will be in trouble.

    Gotta go, I have to contact Eric Allman on howto write my Sendmail config file.

  2. Re:Hmmmm on Wooly Mammoth Extracted Intact From Siberian Ice · · Score: 1

    Humans have not eradicated any animals from the world, they simply were not fit to survive. Things happen for a reason after all. I see the Wolly Mammoth fit to come back, they look tastey. I want a bbq mammoth tenderloin sandwich.

    As far as reintroduction of this animal bringing back a disease, what if the apollo missions brought back some disease?

  3. Re:Regulation not that bad... on Congressman Advocates Breaking-Up a Guilty MS · · Score: 1

    If this happens again 50 years from now, then break that monopoly up too.
    Regulation would give bureaucrats and politicians an excuse to stick their noses where they don't belong.

  4. Whats on the 2 Application CD's? on Red Hat 6.1 Officially Announced · · Score: 1

    Do they list the contents of the two Workstation Application CD's? Does any one know what is on them?

  5. If they truly on Plan for Privately-Funded Moon Base · · Score: 1

    want this project to be enteraining in the spirit of PT Barnum, they should land the moon base on the same hollywood set that Tom Hanks used in HBO's "from the Earth to the Moon"

  6. Re:One less employee? on More Mission-Critical Linux · · Score: 1

    What do you think happened to all the whip and buggy makers at the turn of the century? They got jobs somewhere else. Besides have you noticed? There aren't a shortage of jobs in the US.

    Or maybe those NT admins that would have been working in Kansas are out of work, at home, and making prank calls all day.

  7. They use RH4.2 on More Mission-Critical Linux · · Score: 1

    When I upgraded from 4.2, I knew it was a mistake.
    This just confirms it.

    The best releases (of RH... maybe) are behind us, but the best is yet to come.

  8. On the bright side. on Duchovny to Quit X-Files · · Score: 1

    His acting career is going nowhere, so at least we'll never see him again.

    'cept for reruns on the sci-fi channel.

  9. Pricing seems screwy on HP to release 3 thin clients PCs · · Score: 2

    The model with windows CE is priced between 500-600 dollars, while the linux ones are under 700.


  10. Re:Look and Feel? on Apple sues eMachines · · Score: 1

    How can they claim it has the same feel?
    It has a two button mouse, after all.

  11. Wonko.com is wonked on Win2k delay claimed to be helping spread of Linux · · Score: 1

    I just went to wonko.com. I tried to be post a response to a posting from two days ago. (No one had responded yet.) I got some kind of MS jet/asp error.

    Hey Wonk0, Your using the wrong tools for you site.
    you need mysql, or Postgres, BSD or linux.

    Sincerly,
    a wonker

    P.S. Is the term wonker coined yet?
    P.S.S. How come most of the postings on you site had no responses? Must be alot of excitement for w2k.

  12. Re:Nah. Only \.ers think this. NT has advantages on MS Dirty Pool Against AOL? · · Score: 1

    If you think free market competition hurts, business communications...
    If you think that a monopoly running everything is good ...
    If you think that open standard retard/prevent inovation...

    You are on another planet, bucko.

  13. Re:I don't get it. on Europe plans comet landing · · Score: 1

    This was most likely some french guy with an inflated ego due to his country's revival of the "Le Meridian" and Paris mean time. le meridian

  14. "Oui, Oui" or "Remember 1066" on French revolt against Prime Meridian-Sort Of · · Score: 1

    I agree either they are now Americans or we should all speak French, cause next the Frech Gov will repeal William the Conqueror's victory.


  15. Re:what did that Lotus guy told me ? on Apache Incorporates · · Score: 1

    Hey now, on /. we don't start rumors... we spread 'em :)

  16. Re:Don't believe the FUD on AOL Considers Ending Mozilla? · · Score: 1

    Mozilla M6 and M7 worked for me on both linux and win95. I could surf with it. Never crashed.

    We should start calling the new browser, Mozilla 2000, this way the media will ignore any FUD.

    Incidently, my last IE installation killed my win95. If there were a Linux port of IE, it could not kill Linux.

    Word to you mother. --V. Ice

  17. Re:How to remedy this... on AOL Considers Ending Mozilla? · · Score: 2

    Just rename Mozilla 5.0 to Mozilla 2000.

  18. Maybe AOLdot.org???? on Netscape Search to be powered by Google · · Score: 1

    Slashdot is just to cool to be ignored.
    Now if Hemos could just get those links right...
    :)

  19. Re:Why Slashdot is going downhill... on Mozilla M7 - Ready for the War · · Score: 1

    Retire Hemos? Who next? Batgirl, Steve Urkel? or Marvin and Wendy(the Wonder Twins)? You just don't understand why CmndrTaco keeps Hemos around, my friend.

  20. Re:BIOS? on Ask Slashdot: Hardware for Headless Linux Boxes · · Score: 1

    On my Linux PC Servers, my bios controls whether or not, it boots w/wo a keyboard. I have never changed any keyboard settings(on/off) with the OS. I do not a monitor attached to one, but it does have a cheap vga card in it. Just in case. This way I ensure one less reason for a reboot. Is there some kind of OS performance issue with removing the need for a keyboard/vga card?
    I do not know.

  22. Re:sexist Star Wars on Review:Star Wars:The Phantom Menance · · Score: 1

    I thought Princess Leia was to become a Jedi Knight.

    Any way isn't having a female jedi knight like having the WNBA?

    Do we really need one?




  23. Re:Benchmark This !! on Mindcraft Study Validated · · Score: 1

    I'll say this. I am equally dumb setting up either NT/IIS or linux/apache. So, I'll just blame the apache group and the linux community for giving me the opportunity to not reboot my webserver over the last year. It's first aniversary is May 23rd. :)

    It is far better than other ftp clients I have tried.

    Depending on you point of view, David Card has too much or not enough muscle between his ears. I just ain't shure.
