too late

On: U.S. Governments Advised to Use Open Source

they have standardized on windows. any flavor, all flavors. besides, MS goes to great lengths to ensure interoperability between MS application and operating systems and others.

such nonsense, this just distracts the government from it's true function. screwing up.

lucky us

On: FCC Commissioner Wants To Push For DRM

it's always a fine result when politically driven beaurocrats decide what's best for us.

there should be at least 5 incompatable standards for DRM, so the consumer can choose how they get maximumly screwed out of what they bought.

unintended?

On: More Unintended Consequences of the DMCA

seems this obomination of an act is doing exactly what it was meant to do.

stifle speech -check
ensure massive litigation -check
confuse everyone -check
bad for consumers -check

so what's the problem?

WOW! Fanboy stuff rocks

Re:dump windows

On: Anti-malware Vendors Stare Down Microsoft Threat

they could go back to writing them?

dump windows

On: Anti-malware Vendors Stare Down Microsoft Threat

I would love to see ALL anti-virus vendors STOP supporting Windows.

Let MS handle it all on their own.

Windows users would be SCREWED ....more screwed that is

more commercials

On: Theaters Unhappy About Faster DVD Releases

if they would add more annoying commercials, then we'd all pay more to go to the theater.

they just lack imagination. I'm here to help

excellent engine, took me right

On: Ask.Com's New Look Competes Well With Google

now if MS can pull of something like this....

excellent resolution?

On: Unmanned Aerial Drones Coming Soon Above U.S.

I hope they can see well enough to get a good up close view of my middle finger. I'll even isolate it for them to make it easier.

Better have a defense fund

On: Ballmer Won't Dismiss Idea of Suits Against Linux

Just think, with the $$ MS has built up, they can pick of each Linux Distro one by one.

MS will have the Mainstream press trumpetting their position, linux will have Groklaw.

MS will have the Feds on their side, linux has a cute penguin.

MS will have an army of litigators, MS will have EFF volunteers.

MS will have hundreds of millions to prosecute this, Linux has a cute little Penguin

We all new it was coming. and it's most certainly coming.

Evidence

On: Misconfigured Webserver, Threats to Call FBI

If this City Manager had gone first to the FBI, is there little doubt that the centos project would be currently in an evidence locker?

22 years experience in computing. i know many with his experience that "know" just as little, and don't know it.

scary isn't it?

the obvious reason for this

On: 60% Of Windows Vista Code To Be Rewritten

is so that it will run on Mac hardware.

next stop: OS/2

On: Windows Drivers for Mac Rolling Out

while you're porting sub-par operating systems to above-par hardware, why stop with a dead-end version of windows?

OS/2 is still out there, and it's not a moving target.

brilliant!

here is the marketing for this new killer

Knees to head maybe

On: Microsoft Goes Head-to-Head With IBM

MS would have to get on a big stool to go "head to head" with Big Blue.

this story recycles every 4 years. god knows MS has be "locking horns" with someone all the time.

helps them feel like they really have testicles

disabling good hardware considered cool?

Re:can it get me to google?

On: Windows Live Search goes Live

karma whoring?

bullshit, it was flamebait pure and simple, moron.

MS sucks. period. end of story. anything they do is shit. period. end of story.

no prisoners

can it get me to google?

On: Windows Live Search goes Live

people just want to get to google.

MS is being silly trying to compete, like always, their stuff just sucks.

it does, we all know it.

some of us just hold our nose and pretend it doesn't.

but it does.

MS should just put a @#%$%& google logo on their desktop and declare victory.

Convergence?

On: Dell Opens Up About Desktop Linux

No doubt Mr. Dell would want all the Linux Distros to converge to ONE platoform.

WINDOWS

Dell will be gone before they support Linux. So what.

by then everyone will be using a hacked version of OS X on their Dells and it will be "what's a linux?"

(yes, that last sentence score me points indeed)

in short: NO

On: Is Visual Basic a Good Beginner's Language?

VB creates boatloads of crappy habits as well as the notion you need a windows box and a driver letter to get any work done. the world has plenty of this developer already.

imho, VB is a destructive virus

yeah right

On: No Backdoor in Vista

what they mean is the MS engineers know of no backdoors....

Will Slashdot posting imagined crimes hurt OSS?

probably not, except for the time OSS developers have wasted following this non-story

no one understands any of this shit

On: UK Government Confiscates Firefox CDs

man, it's fun watching the world melt down over the perfectly legal sale of Firefox.

maybe now someone somewhere will actually READ the licenses involved. or maybe have it read to them as the case may be.
