  1. Re:Does it matter? on Mozilla 1.0 Delayed Again · · Score: 2
    Heh. You use fvwm because you don't like all that "extra desktop stuff", yet you prefer Mozilla as your web browser? That's like saying an Oldsmobile is your favorite compact car.

  2. Re:eBay is your friend on Tape Backups for Personal Use, Using Linux? · · Score: 1
    I got a 30 gig DLT off eBay for $200 or so. The tapes are much more reliable, in my experience, than lousy DDS/DAT tapes and, unless you're willing to shell out for a DDS-4, there isn't much that can beat a DLT 2000XT.

    While you're at it, could you also encode it as an MP3 for the 99.999% of the rest of us who can't be there yet want to hear it?

    Can't listen to .OGGs on my Rio, y'know.

  9. "What happens to Netscape?" on AOL 6.0 Bundled with Windows XP? · · Score: 2
    Um, guess.

    Like it matters anymore, anyway. Netscape is a non-issue now with Mozilla being more useful and stable than Netscape could ever hope to be. Don't believe me? Grab a nightly and see for yourself. It doesn't suck as much as it used to, and it sucks a lot less than Netscape ever did.

    Or am I the only one that's had to write a script to killall -9 dead netscape processes and rm ~/.netscape/lock?

  10. How could they go after Microsoft? on RIAA Trains Legal Sights On Aimster · · Score: 1
    The software industry makes in a month what the entertainment industry -- music *and* movies -- makes in a year. Microsoft's yearly revenues alone is more than that of the RIAA. The record industry wouldn't stand a chance.

    Which is why it fucking BAFFLES me why the computer industry is bowing to 'intellectual' property owners' every demand.

  14. If Motif is so great... on The Superior Motif? · · Score: 1
    ...why is everyone, including Sun and other big-name commercial UNIX vendors, switching from it to GTK?

    Granted, I *hate* GTK, from a programming perspective (let's take C and make it slow and ugly like C++!), but there's got to be some reason people are abandoning Motif.
