  1. Re:Hmm... think about this a bit more. on Time's Man of the Century: Linus Torvalds? · · Score: 2

    hmm ... perhaps you should have read the definition of this poll.
    this poll isn't about the 'child of all of those other people on this list' but for the one who 'most influenced the course of history over the past 100 years' and - although the world should be ashamed about this - adolf hitler did so a lot more than many of the other.

    on the other side linus has a good chance in 2099 :-)

  2. Re:I don't think I could vote for Torvalds on Time's Man of the Century: Linus Torvalds? · · Score: 1

    this 'best anything/one of anytime poll' remembers me of a similar poll on our national radio station in 1996. they made a poll 'best song ever' and it became a real fiasco - from what i remember coolio's 'gangsta's paradise' won (which is a fiasco) and most of the other top ten songs are forgotten by now.
    the problem is that everyone seems to have the opinion that the time/place where one lives in is the most important one could imagine (this is true from a subjective point of view).
    but if you would try to be objective you would have to admit, that linus is probably the man of our decade but for sure not the one who 'most influenced the course of history over the past 100 years'.

  3. Re:Infintessimal and Infinite on Return of The Onion · · Score: 1

    and this brings a new light on reincarnation:
    we dumbasses out here don't have to be born as the same lame dumbasses in our world again - but if we have been a good person (*grin*) we will become a member of the superior universe (where our universe is a molecule and the galaxies are the atoms, as every child knows - ask them).
    all we will try to do then is destroy all our lower universes - so that there is no place to step back when you were a bad fuckin guy.
    that's exactly what most of us try to do right know - so the above is proven :-)

  4. 200% slower??? on NT Beats Linux in Round 2 · · Score: 1

    ups,
    this would really be horrible!
    not only, that linux doesn't provide any information (100%slower) but it also sucks the other 100% from the user connecting to the side :-\

  5. Re:WTF? Why install 2.3.0? Exactly the same as 2.2 on Linux 2.3.0 · · Score: 1

    you kow, there ist this cool attitude on having a development kernel running on your machine :-)

    even if it's nearly the same version as the stable one you can't deny our community this coolness factor - that's how the kernel became what it is (and, of course, because there are some guys out there who fix the bugs)

  6. What about Standard? on Ask Slashdot: Perceptions of Red Hat Software · · Score: 1

    and then there remains the question w(ho)tf purged the /bin /lib /sbin directories in order to symlink them to /usr/bin /usr/lib /usr/sbin: this is valid to at least hpux, aix, solaris (did anyone exeienced this on other unices?).

    it must have been a come together from the most braindead people from all these companies, trying to bring up some absolutely dumb thing - preventing your system from running if anything happens to your (oh-so-small-that-the-possibility-vanishes) /usr filesystem.
