  1. Re:why not support the companies that support us? on Half-Life 2 - A Linux User's Lament · · Score: 1

    the man who says something can't be done shouldn't interrupt the man who is doing it.

  2. Re:pkg could be a lot better on DragonFly BSD Announced · · Score: 1

    two lines? last i checked it was just "emerge sync"
    also the updating "world" and "system" along with --deep and --pretend opts are pretty kewl.

  3. Re:I too can think of one reason... on Any Reason To Buy Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    a cleverly written bash script will do it. :-/

    connections go much better when you aren't using ALL of your upload. try to set the max upload to -10KB/s of you max like...

    so with my 50KB/s max upload

    $ screen ./btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate 40 --url http://the.redhatisos.com/rh9.torrent

    and everything is so much nicer. i don't know how to do the same on windows(tm) so... die!

  5. Re:I hate to start a licensing flamewar... on Castle Technology UK Ripping off Kernel Code? · · Score: 1

    just fyi, apache is released under the apache license :-) http://httpd.apache.org/docs/LICENSE
    whether or not it's bsd-like is stupid, it's either bsd licensed or it isn't and... it isn't.

    the error is mentioning Windows(TM) XP Home Edition, it's crap :-)

  7. Re:OMG on GeForce FX Reviews Roll In · · Score: 1

    if the linux drivers are solid+accelerated, i will indeed vote with my money. but i haven't heard anything good or bad about ATI's linux support. i *KNOW* that nvidia's drivers kick ass (provided you know wtf you're doing) someone ease my ph33rs here and let a lunix0r know how ATI's linux drivers are.

  10. Re:Better document... on Linux 2.4 VM Documentation · · Score: 1

    yes, but then it's already done for me. since there's no official "GE Toaster" port, i get to write it myself, and still have the ownij GNU userland! but it still won't be official, just a port to "GE Toasters" :/

  11. Re:Better document... on Linux 2.4 VM Documentation · · Score: 1

    yes, unfortunately i can't take fbsd places where linux goes with reckless abandon. what if i want to hax on a Hitachi SuperH ? learning fbsd is useless to me. how about if i want to target a toaster? can't run fbsd on that either! being a computer science type i'm not really interested in computers per se but "computing in general" which linux is proving to be a great OS for... in general.

  12. Re:Excellent System on FreeBSD 5.0 RC3 Now Ready · · Score: 1

    you cannot make such conclusions on a sample of one. it's been proven other wise in production use. post your code and we'll try to add to your samples.

    i emailed them suggesting they release codecs or a player for l00nix. maybe if we all keep bothering them about it they'll do it just to get us off their backs!

  17. Re:All about the benji's on Sun vs. OpenBSD? · · Score: 1

    that is left as an exercise to the reader. but if you don't know any better ( which you obviously don't )

    finely-tuned ANSI C ( not using any assembler )is not as fast as finely-tuned assembler code on the same processor... in most cases. if it is, you got lucky and should thank the guy(s) who wrote your compiler. looking at the ports available for FreeBSD i'm gonna have to say they did some things to hurt the portability ( assembly somewhere? ) yet give it some speed advantages.

    can't linux run on a wristwatch or a cellphone? what makes you think it can't be ported to a sega? ARE YOU DAFT!

  19. Re:hilarious fud on Windows 2000 Gets Common Criteria Certification · · Score: 1

    because Linux isn't an OS. the GNU system with Linux as the kernel isn't entirely controlled by a single entity, which is microsoft's advantage here. plus microsoft can afford to have it tested.

    haha! it's so obvious that you've never *EVER* played on battle.net(TM). why would anyone want an alternative?

    3) fuckin' idiots "hi, wait, what did you do? how do i accept it? omfg i can't switch skills"
    4) hackers who fuck up the economy

    i'll bet you think those are good things. unfortunately i like private realms. where the good players are found and invited to play on these private realms. good realms. battle.net(TM) will never be mistaken for a good realm where good players play.

  25. Re:This doesn't seem to ever end on Warcraft III: The Single Player Experience · · Score: 1

    heh, that's funny. bnetd is not a way to hate blizzard and still play their games. we used bnetd before blizzard sued, only now we do hate them, why should we suffer for their poor copy protection? anyways we own the damn game and we're gonna play it anyway we see fit. and stop assuming people using it are doing so illegally, i own sc, wc2, wc2:bne, TWO COPIES of both d2 and the expansion (so i can legitimately transfer stuff between chars). it's just annoying that people assume it's only being used by thieves.
