  1. As Freud said: on Spider-Man, Star Wars and the Power of Myth · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

  2. Same is true of Windows. on The Stallman Factor · · Score: 1

    Windows is the common term. People only us "Windows XP Professional Edition OEM" or "Windows 98 SR2" when it's necessary.

  3. Linux doesn't HAVE to be targeted towards anyone! on The Stallman Factor · · Score: 1

    This is the typical business person,[...] Like it or not, that is the person that Linux, and OpenSource in general must be targeted toward.

    Says who? If you want to target that person it's your business. Me, I just want the most efficient porn downloading system available. Fred over there is just cheap. Sally on the other hand is just a geek and want to learn OS fundementals. And Sam uses Linux because it makes the best Quake server.

    Linux is whatever YOU want it to be. Don't make the mistake of thinking it has to serve your agenda.

  4. Whats the point? on Linux DVD Players Reviewed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why not just get an el cheapo dvd standalone unit for your TV. You get a remote and probably a bigger picture. Why would anyone watch DVDs on their computer, Gnu/Linux or Windows?

  5. No, seeing violence does cause violence. on New Bill Would Restrict Sale of Video Games to Minors · · Score: 1

    Take this article from Scientific American for example Watching Wrestling Linked to Violent Behavior . Other studies have found simmilar results. Kids are like monkeys. Monkey see, monkey do.

  6. Greater source of hot air:Bob Metcalfe ot Ellison? on Slashback: Wal-Modem, Culpability, Misquotes · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Ellison is without doubt the most pompous jackass I've ever seen in my life.

  7. Probably his wife. on Ask Alan Cox, Activist · · Score: 1
  8. How do you suckers like paying for this crap? on James Doohan Not In A Coma and Likely To Survive · · Score: 1

    Isn't it time for another SonicBlue article?

  9. Are a spook? on Salon on Video Games and Free Speech · · Score: 1

    /. really isn't a jive joint.

  10. Who cares? on Red Hat Linux 7.3 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They could call it 7.2345346 or 56.8. I think most Gnu/Linux users try to be a bit more rational than to worry about whatever version number they decide to slap on it.

    I think Red Hat should be given credit based on the quality of the release, not the version number.

  11. Wrong. on Explaining the GPL to Non-Lawyers? · · Score: 1

    It is not yours, it is still mine. I can re-license my gnu-solitaire code to microsoft for $1000000,you cannot.

  12. Who here really cares what the law is? on CNET Interviews Rep. Boucher · · Score: 1

    Your going to download anyway, right?

  13. Feynman agreed with you. on Science a Mystery to U.S. Citizens · · Score: 3, Interesting

    He said if you cannot explain your idea to an intelligent freshman, then you don't really understand it yourself; an even better test might be to explain your idea to an intelligent twelve-year-old.

  14. Bravo! on Touchscreen Watch · · Score: 1

    Signal11 is that you?

  15. No you don't. on New Preview of Neverwinter Nights · · Score: 2, Insightful
    What I'd like to see is someone designing a new game


    They tried that. It was called Black and White. Booring.

  16. The CIA nabbed Bin Laden's right hand man. on CIA Warns China Might Be Planning Cyber Attack · · Score: 1

    The rumors are that most CIA personnel feel guilty about 9/11 and are working balls to the wall to redeem themselves.

  17. Egypt ready to fight. Laugh. on CIA Warns China Might Be Planning Cyber Attack · · Score: 1

    Ever heard of the 6 Days War? Israel defeated Egypt, Jordan, Syria in 6 days.

    If any Arab country had any hope of defeating Israel they would have attacked already. They don't and they won't.

  18. You're suprised a "web journalist" didn't do what? on Bart Decrem on the Linux Business · · Score: -1, Troll

    If they had any REAL skillz, they'd have a REAL job.

  19. Readers support /. by looking at adds. on Bart Decrem on the Linux Business · · Score: 0, Troll

    Or at least that's what the advertisers think. Anyone with a clue filters them out.

  20. Funny it's supported by US $'s. on Bart Decrem on the Linux Business · · Score: 1

    What's money behind Linux? Let's see IBM, Intel, Redhat, HP ...

    All American companies last time I checked.

  21. EU PU on Recycle Fee For Each PC? · · Score: 1

    Let's hope they do. Recycling really isn't necessary in the states due to the fact that we have millions and millions of unused and rarely seen acreage.

  22. Are you mildly retarded? on MS Pressuring NW Schools: Pay Up, Or Face Audit · · Score: 1

    You previously agreed to let them in. When they decide to come in you have no right to "shoot them". If you refuse them entry their recorse is to get a judge to send a sherrif. (which they have done)

  23. What's your electric bill running now? on Hybrid Powertrains and Hydrogen Fuel Cells · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just curious.

  24. Nobody really. on At the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference · · Score: 0, Troll

    What's Son's spot on the PC manufacturer list? 8 or 9? Yeah Video seems to be a real killer app.

  25. "Sure they're making money" on KDE 3.0 is Out · · Score: 1

    Since when?
