  1. URL problems - s/?/'/g? on Qube2 Release · · Score: 1

    Well, on my keyboard ` is a good 9 inches away from ?. Even Harry Knowles couldn't splodge the keys that bad!

  2. goodbye to ext2? huh? on Ask Slashdot: How Reliable are Enormous Filesystems in Linux? · · Score: 1
    I like ext2fs. It makes ever other filesystem I've ever used look shoddy and slow. And I've read that it's benchmarked as the fastest filesystem on Intel. The only conceivable reason to replace it would be if someone came up with a new filesystem for Linux that was even faster and had lower overhead. I won't be holding my breath.

    Of course, people with big-ass disks and high uptime requirements need that journalling crap. And they'll have it. So don't be dissin' ext2!

  3. more stuff! on Linux in healthcare computing · · Score: 1
    Yeah, I think they should add a long beep to the Blue Screen Of Death so that it would be more familiar to healthcare professionals. Also, I think they should incorporate a complete 3D visualisation system into the NT kernel. It's the logical place to integrate it. Then they should have a touch pen shaped like a scalpel, add random medical jargon to the help files, and put the word "stat" in dialog boxes thusly:
    Explorer has suffered a fatal error and has to exit stat.
    You must reboot stat for these changes to take effect.
    Windows has detected a heart monitor attached to this computer. Please insert a floppy disk containing a driver stat.
  4. you wacky wacky people! on Ask Slashdot: Could Open Source be used as a Tax Writeoff? · · Score: 1

    It always amuses me how much money people are willing to spend to avoid paying tax. It's like a phobia or something.

  5. Damn straight! on RMS on The Connection (NPR show) · · Score: 1

    I couldn't have said it better myself.

  6. I suggest therapy on RMS on The Connection (NPR show) · · Score: 1

    You really should talk to someone about all these feelings of hatred you have for RMS. It's not healthy. You'll only give yourself an ulcer. If you feel unable to tolerate RMS' point of view, I suggest that you simply ignore him. No amount of bile from you will change his belief system, or, indeed, anyone elses. Your energies would be better utilised writing free software.

  7. You made me go to microsoft.com! on Batch o Quickees · · Score: 1

    You bastards!
