  1. Re:It's MCIWorldCom... on AT&T vs MCI on Network Outages · · Score: 1

    BTW my post was not meant sarcastic. I think to transport terrabytes from one location to the other you should really not use the internet or 56k modems ;-)

  2. Re:It's MCIWorldCom... on AT&T vs MCI on Network Outages · · Score: 1

    That is a very good idea. You could of course also have told them to have some slaves put it on ticker tape and throw it out the window. Ha Ha Ha

  3. Monopoly on AT&T vs MCI on Network Outages · · Score: 1

    Did AT&T have a monopoly at one time and learned from it (the hard way)? PPL and Companies should learn again that "The Customer is the King", as we Germans sometimes say.

  4. Re:Evil, evil, evil on Microsoft wins Annulment of Sun's Java injunction · · Score: 1

    I love the lowest common denominator. It reaches 100% of the audience. And that is what I want. Not blind Windoze. Sleep well microsofter.

  5. use the words u like - do not pay for them on AOL Trademarks nixed · · Score: 1

    hell,

    language is there to communicate with. so if many ppl use a word no moneysucker should be allowed to stop them from doing that. it is just that some ppl are too stupid to listen to the words others develop. so here comes somebody and says "hey i made this silly combination of letters up - it belongs to me". it is so strange a few letters than can even be pronounced and they think they can owe that. ha ha ha

  6. Because we like information on Feature: Good vs. Evil on the World Wide Web · · Score: 1

    Maybe it is because ppl who are neophile surf the net. We like new stuff and that means fresh information. When I was younger I almost got a stiffy (expect that I was too young to get one) walking through libraries. That same feeling I had in University and now with the web it is back. This also brings along a tolerance for difference. Knowing that there are many ideas about how the world is like or should/could be brings along tolerance and stops dogmatism and simple ideologies. Also communicating with many ppl over the net around the world brings an acceptance of the good still left in most ppl even those coming from different cultures and countries. So be happy that there is good news on the net unlike the disastrous stories we get on tv or newspapers most of the time

  7. Forgot c't again on Athlon Reviews · · Score: 2

    Again you forgot the Geramn Computer Mag c't. They have a very positive review (Athlon's gonna kick some butf) and very good benchmarks. Check it out here.
    Oh and do not forgot to pop in your babelfish - it is in German ;-)

  8. Re:NT on Ask Slashdot: Building a Large Email Service · · Score: 1

    In another post u asked something like "How can i be nostaligiv for a time that i did not live at?".
    Let me tell you.

    You lived before and are close to Enlightenment.

    Maybe two three more lives or another hundred I do not know. But you learned how to play well - So now you can win.

    Sorry to bother you and say hello to your kids ;-)

    oops me stoopid european forgot again about those astronomical penalties u get in the states...
    okay then do not do it and just tell universal to be a bit nicer in the future to people who like spreading information. man, these dinosaurs do get nasty sometimes...

  10. lets make them sue us all ;-) on Deep Linking Troubles Continue · · Score: 1

    Why dont we put a link on all of our webservers. If they want to be consistent they would have to sue us all. I think they just want to execute and example. Lets see if they have enough lawyers to find us all ;-)

  11. These ppl need some work... on Government Wants to do Massive Internet Monitoring · · Score: 1

    Here in Europe something similar is happening. These Secret Information Gatheres and Controllers are actively seeking new ways to show the Government that they are needed. Since after the Fall of the Soviet Union, a big bad enemy has evaporated, they probably do not know what to do in their free time. So they want to surf the Internet and see what normal people or baddies like me do when they communicate. I would recommend the Governments to cut down the Budgets of FBI, CIA, BND or how you call these Dinosaurs who look too many James Bond movies. Then use the money to build better schools and educate the kids so that a self regulation can be possible. Heck I hate these Controlfreaks - I just use PGP or ssh or ssl if I want to and they will not stop me.

  12. Re:USAs Janus Head on Feature: Ticket Booth Tyranny (Part One) · · Score: 1

    Look at this page. Janus is a roman god of doors and gateways. He had two faces looking in the opposite directions. I have met more americans who are culturally literate than our european prejudices made me think, btw.

  13. Re:More than pragmatism here. on Interview with Alan Cox · · Score: 1

    How can it condem(n?) someone because he/she chooses a licence for the software they wrote?
    You too seem to be one of these guys who know
    it so well, that they start condemning others
    who choose to do it their way. Troll Tech learnend
    that to be accepted by the Open Source Community they had to change their licence - not because they were condemned but because they use their heads to think and want to have success. And about
    your question "who says only GPL". Just look at all the flamebaits who probably never read a licence before and still think that the GPL will save the world or something.

  14. Re:just curious on Interview with Alan Cox · · Score: 1

    I think he just has a job at a company that involve computers, like most of us. His company
    probably lets him spend some of his time hacking
    around the kernel - after all with an employee like that you should not make him want to leave your company ;-)

  15. USAs Janus Head on Feature: Ticket Booth Tyranny (Part One) · · Score: 1

    Now i do not want to say bash the USA or the American Way of Life as they call - so send your flames directly to /dev/null. Here in Europe we sometimes laugh (silently) at the two facedness of your countries Moralism and Ethics. On the one hand kids get sharp guns very easy (This is very hard here in Germany), have sex much earlier than in most other countries, play absolutely violent video games in arcades and can see ppl being slaughtered by the masses on TV. On the other hand kids have to say a prayer in the morning (sometimes to a god they do not believe in), are not allowed to see a womans breast in a commercial (Not that most women have two), can not see well done films where ppl to something ungodly as having sex. The only explanation I have is that
    organizations like the National Rifle whatever, or the Churches are too strong. I think the kids just
    laugh at all this, with the web as a tool to get any kind of information (let it be porn, politics, philosophy or howto build a bomb). What makes me just a little sad is that sometimes a kid with a gun can kill and that kid that saw a naked woman will probably not turn into a rapist. So why allow the one and forbid the other?

    BTW your webserver probably went down while I tried to post this - but u probably know that ;-)

  16. Good Pragmatism on Interview with Alan Cox · · Score: 5

    Now I know why this guy is so successfull. Not ideologies like "Only GPL", "No KDE", "No commercialism" but pragmatism drives this man. He cares about what works, not about how the world should be like or what other ppl should do. In this way he seems alot like Linus Torvalds. To be honest I can not stand those flamers anymore who tell others what distribution, software or licences they should use. Do these ppl forget that it is about Freedom (not beer) and that there is more than one way to do it (right)
    (Thanx Larry!)

  17. Re:Amen Brother on The High Tech Sweatshop · · Score: 1

    Yeah - my last project wrecked me so badly i went off to a mental hospital for three months. They diagnosed a schizophrenia - which is no wonder considering that those wankers expected me to do the work of three. Now I understand that free time and relaxation actually helps in doing your job even better and I will never let them treat me like a stoopid slave anymore. BTW our firewall (German Postal Services) HP-HA-Cluster(HA, har har) just went down. Our hotline screamed but we fixed it in 15 minutes - keep calm - do not get ulcers. After all it is your life not your companies.

  18. Re:Bad idea on Cloning of extinct Huia bird approved · · Score: 1

    By getting babies we constantly interfere with evolution - so is it a bad thing? But seriously, if man destroys an animal for stoopid fashion reasons would you call that natural? I call it sick. If Biotechnologies will be use in an ethical
    sound way they can do a lot of good. Very similar to other technologies we have gotten used to.

    If I have enough money I will pay ppl for being creative. I will not want anything back but will be happy that the global information stock has risen a wee bit.

  22. Give this man a job!! on Feature:News in the Slashdot Decade · · Score: 1

    Wow somebody who can so brilliantly analyze a current situation will probably be overrun with job offers from now on. Usually it takes historians to grasp what happened at a certain time. This document is very important since it describes an aspect of the revolution we are going through. Will it be called the "Information Revoultin" aka the "Industrial Revolution"? It is wonderful to live in a time where Information Interchange, communication is gaining a more prominent place in ppls lives.

    Thanx again, and if Billy throws u out look at our page. But I am not a stoopid headhunter

  23. too bad - will use it anyway on GD Graphics Library withdrawn · · Score: 1

  24. Re:When will SuSE fix 6.1 bugs? on SuSE 6.1 for Alpha · · Score: 1

    Sorry, i just made that mistake in my early days ;-). Try installing a sshd. Maybe it is something about how your telnet client talks to the server. If the other data flows quickly (http, smtp etc.) its propably not in the net. If you can reproduce those KDE hangs - tell the KDE people. They will be happy to hear from you. But be sure to install the latest stable release. BTW I usually run the X-Server as root - it needs access to that hardware. I was talking about X Applications.
    Nix für Ungut - as we germans would say :-)

  25. Re:When will SuSE fix 6.1 bugs? on SuSE 6.1 for Alpha · · Score: 1

    Did you open your X-Session as root? If yes I would recommend opening it as your normal account and using the su command if you want to be the root. Some X-Software is buggy and if it is allowed to run as root eats up your resources happily. BTW you found only two "bugs". Thats quite okay regarding the amount of software they compile for you - I found more but I am not telling...
