  1. it doesn't have "disks." on Hubble's Computers Upgraded · · Score: 1

    http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/19991223/sc/space_ shuttle_46.html

    If you read link above, you'll read following quote:

    "'You have to keep in mind that we don't run Windows, we don't have disks, we don't do Internet,' John Campbell, project chief
    for the Hubble, told reporters."

  2. Distribution should ADD to LDP... on Feature:Thoughts on the Linux Documentation Project · · Score: 1

    With so many distributions, distributions themselves should add to LDP documents if they want clearity. This way, they can update their changing policies, which seems to happen with every new release.

    The format of LDP doc distribution should be left to distributions themselves. This should also apply to the way in which these docs are viewed/printed/consumed. Maybe Redhat whats to view LDP docs in RedHelp that can use tex/ps/whatever, Debian in DebHelp that can use man/info/whatever, but LDP should not worry about these things.

    LDP should stay in course as Matt outlined, an easy way for people to write Linux docs.

  3. Re:Has anyone actually read about the gnome 1.2/2. on The Future of GNOME · · Score: 1

    Actually, I like what Gnome is doing, release early and often, just like Linux.:)

    If you find bug(s), please report them. As with any opensource project, more people find bugs the better.

    Reusing KOM/OpenParts would not have been very practical since last time I looked, there is no C binding for KDE, maybe I'm wrong.

    As for "vapour stunt," you must not use mc. Anyhow, attacking opensource developer is wrong since if you don't like what they do, don't use it.

  4. Is it really an "Administrator" password? on CrackThisBox Updates · · Score: 1

    In every book I have read about NT tells you to have "Administrator" changed to some other name and have a fake "Administrator." So, I do wonder if this is real Administrator in the same sense as a root in unix. I tried to connect to www.windows2000test.com to enlighten me as to which meaning they mean, but so far no luck.

  5. Cons of UCITA... on UCITA is passed · · Score: 1

    From www.badsoftware.com, a letter by 14 Attorneys General that are against UCITA.

    Another from same site is www.badsoftware.com/debate.htm.

    Do check out rest of the site since it has a lot of interesting information about this evil bill.

  6. Boycott movie theaters... on Feature: Ticket Booth Tyranny (Part One) · · Score: 1

    Money is the issue here. You gota make them feel the power of kiddy movie money by boycotting the theaters.

    If every kid and their parents stop seeing movie for just a week or two...The theater owners will feel the "Kiddy Power!" :)

    These owners are doing this so our beloved government stays out of the movie business, but they "expect" kids and parents to see the movies.

    The MPAA and theater owners should be given kudos for acting before the government made a silly law. Then again, a big business like MPAA, yes it is a business since they make decisions based on making money and not on content, and theater owners should be able to bu...convince enough policy makers to point the finger at some other causes like...;)

    Boycott and they will be more motivated...

  7. "...in a tight deadline" on Linus will move to Moscow to work with Elbrus · · Score: 1

    This is just too funny! Though it would have been better if this job offer came from AMD or Intel.

    Happy April fools day,
