  1. Decent documentation at last? on GNOME Reaches Out to Women · · Score: 1

    actually, I don't know how good Gnome documentation is. but you get it, right?

  2. Doubtful on Bill Gates to Step Down from Microsoft · · Score: 4, Funny

    So how long can he stay out of the game? Not long I suspect.

    just wait until he notices his company following antitrust law, behaving ethically, paying to license code they use.

    he'll swoop right in and put a stop to that real fast

  3. Vapor is often uncrackable on Microsoft Says Vista Most Secure OS Ever · · Score: 1

    hard to break into something that actually doesn't exist.

  4. Kudos to theo on Hifn Restricts Crypto Docs, OpenBSD Opens Fire · · Score: 2, Insightful

    While I agree his language may not make friends, it's his system, his drivers, his sweat., if he wants to call a bunch of weasels with crap products weasels with crap products, who are we to judge?

    I say to Theo: "kick **more** ass"

    and to hell with detractors, most of whom surely have never installed OpenBSD, let alone taken the extra step to purchase it.

  5. Intel: I got a fever! on Intel's Sales Down, Current Gen of Products Weak · · Score: 1

    and the only prescription is Vista!

    (apologies to SNL)

  6. He's a thinker on Dvorak on Our Modern World · · Score: 1

    incredible work. he's a master scribe.

    the man is bone-a-fide

  7. Real Story: Red Flag Linux sucks on Lenovo To Shun Linux · · Score: 1

    they just can't get their commie version of linux to work on this lenovo thing.

    this is just their cover story

  8. pay, and no one gets hurt on MS to Launch Paid Security Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    no doubt this beta is named "guido"?

  9. Aero=(Gnome/KDE/Mac)*uglystick on Tom's Hardware Looks at Microsoft Vista Beta · · Score: 1

    man, this interface resembles the older attempts to make X look decent with apple-like wid, eh gadgets attached.

    this interface isn't sure what it wants to be, other than penetrated by malware.

    why don't they just get out of the interface business and allow the user to choose between Gnome and KDE?

  10. Asia only 35% of market? on BSA Claims 35% of Software is Pirated · · Score: 1

    appears the west is all paid up, no?

  11. User proposes solution to MS on MS Proposes JPEG Alternative · · Score: 1

    go screw yerselves

  12. the customer? on TiVo from AdZapper to Advertiser's New Best Friend · · Score: 1

    TiVo explains how they hope to redefine advertising in the age of the DVR through a customer centered approach

    This is hilarious. Customer centered ads.

    that must mean TiVO is gonna put us customers "in the center" so the ring of advertisers can have their way with us.

    too bad TiVO has to suck to compete. their product works so damn well.

  13. 15 years and email still sucks? on IBM to Adopt ODF for Lotus Notes · · Score: 1

    Wow, email must be harder than I could ever imagine.

    People have been bitching about Notes email client FOREVER. it's the NUMBER ONE reported problem with that platform.

    yet after a decade, people still say it sucks.

    come on IBM, get off yer ass

  14. only on slashdot? on Why Sony is Ready to Self Destruct · · Score: 1

    could a massive corporation like Sony be considered "doomed" because their video game division upset some "gamers"?

  15. heretics!! on FreeBSD Vows to Compete with Desktop Linux · · Score: -1, Troll

    goodness, the Da Vinci Code is not as heretical to the catholic church as telling a linux fanbase that BSD kicks ass on their deity

    difference being there is documented proof for the latter....

    asbestos suit on. flame away kiddies

  16. Comcast DVR vs. TiVO on Cox May replace its own DVRs with TiVos · · Score: 1

    I have both.

    the TiVo just works.

    the comcast DVR is possessed by demons. hit FF? delayed, may work. frustrated, don't hit it again or sometime in the future you'll be FFing in double, perhaps triple time. STOP. maybe. hit it again. no? then hit stop. then restart.

    and the Comcast INTERFACE? Developed by people who HATE other people. it's designed TO frrustrate, especially someone who has used something that works, like the TiVO.

    I would LOVE for Comcast to switch to a working DVR. please.

  17. self-preservation on Boot Camp For Suckers? · · Score: 1

    not much work for a windows hack when the users move on.

  18. win? on Apple Defeats RIAA and France In Same Day · · Score: 1

    so $.99 for a song is victory?

    for whom?

    certainly not the consumer.

    $.49 for good music would be appropriate with .05-.48 for the other 99.999999999%

    but then only the artist could make money, not the coke-addled jackass at BMG

  19. missing Parenthesis FOUND! on Homeland Security Uncovers Critical Flaw in X11 · · Score: 1

    they were aparently wrapped around Weapons of Mass Desctruction in Iraq

  20. Vapor Firewall on Vista Firewall to be Crippled · · Score: 2, Funny

    Vapor OS, Vapor Firewall. makes sense to me.

    at least the "object file system" promised in Cairo will be there. won't it?

    I also hear they will be shipping the stability promised in Window 95

    time to start lining up at Fry's

  21. Half crippled by choice on Vista Firewall to be Crippled · · Score: 2, Funny

    the other half by design

  22. take a deep breath on Oklahoma Senate OKs Violent-Games Bill · · Score: 1

    and ask yourself if you really want people from Oklahoma being exposed to anything violent, sexual or otherwise part of this or the last centuries culture.

    it's just too much for them

    let toss a blanky over the state and let them nap a bit longer

  23. they can stop dumping? on The 360 Is Too Cheap? · · Score: 1

    sure they could stop dumping 360's. but that would provide a bit more oxygen to the adversaries now wouldn't it?

  24. Stealing STAC code terrorism? on New Congressional Bill Makes DMCA Look Tame · · Score: 1

    IP theft funds terrorism???

    So does this mean that MS is a potential terrorist organization after blatantly stealing and being convicted of said stealing of STAC's disc compression technology?

  25. Let someone else shred it on Bush Admin. Appoints Civil-Liberties Officer · · Score: 1

    why have the president out there shredding the Constitution when you can apppoint a special person to do it for you?

    I am sure civil liberties will curtail at an even faster pace now, and all the children will be safe
