  1. Re:Insert std GPL's better than BSD Licence post h on Is FreeBSD really 'The Other Linux' · · Score: 1

    err..microsit has already done it. cat your win95 drive and grep for "Regents of California". you'll find that microshit has a lot of bsd code in there, altho not the BSD stack. M$ doesnt need to credit the authors if releasing a binary only.

  2. Re:License on Is FreeBSD really 'The Other Linux' · · Score: 1

    no. one word for you. rdist.

  3. Re:Check this out on Apple announces the G4 · · Score: 1

    the right tool is an SGI.

  4. Re:At least be *honest* about MacOS on Apple announces the G4 · · Score: 1

    nopes. sorry. correct installations of *every* mac os upto 8.1 (last one i tried) have btree problems that slowly corrupt the filesystem, bad disk labels, freezes etc etc. its not a 24 x 7 system and will never be (unless you consider mac os x which looks pretty good on paper)..ive had macs since 92 and they *all* crash consistantly..less than windoze but much more than any unix system.

  5. Re:Why so many "tests"? on Carmack on next Q3 test; parts open-sourced · · Score: 1

    system shock sucks. crappy interface. go around hunting semi-human creatures armed with wrenches in a lab like atmosphere. bullshit.

  6. Re:Linux Is Not UniX on What if Red Hat bought SCO? · · Score: 0

    if it has 4 legs, barks and wags its tail its not a horse dammit. call a dog a dog. call a linux a unix. theyre one and the same whichever tree theyre derived from. BTW, linux has SysV and BSD architecture in it, complies with POSIX and runs all known unix commands. its a *UNIX*. now get that thru your thick head.

  7. file formats.. on Illegal File Formats? · · Score: 1

    are basically packages for holding data. they can never be illegal. to use an analogy from real life - drugs are mostly illegal, but no one is going to ban needles just because theyre used for injecting drugs.

  8. Re:This may be good competition for the Palm Pilot on Linux boots on MIPS palm-sized computers · · Score: 1

    are you on crack ? GCC for the palmpilot is *the* way to do palmpilot development..gcc is free, the palmos emulator is free, the roms were free.

  9. Re:GTK is the only choice on Ask Slashdot: What is the Best GUI Framework? · · Score: 1

    would be nice if they documented nonworking calls to. i have at least 4 calls that were nonworking but produced no errors. searching geocrawler and the gtk mailing lists uncovered posts on them which confirmed they were broken. reference could be tidied up and tutorials need to be cleaned out. More help on the list would be nice too..i realise the GTK is under a lot of pressure to get the code out and stable..more developers needed i guess.

  10. Re:If you want it done right, do it yourself on Ask Slashdot: What is the Best GUI Framework? · · Score: 1

    you should have used LessTIF

  11. well.. on Ask Slashdot: What is the Best GUI Framework? · · Score: 1

    it basically depends on the programmer. As a mainly C coder i'd love to see something like GTK with more motifish extensions/widgets and a more Java-like thread handling which would work with C or Java. Small, light, fast would be nice too.

  12. Re:Kernel Usage will fork unless... on Kernels Galore · · Score: 1

    *shrug* you could stick to 2.0.x if you like it. besides, mostly recompiling software with a cuax substitution to ttySx would do it...or a link. backward compatibility is nice but not when it gets in the way.

  13. Re:NFS works on 2.2.5 on Kernels Galore · · Score: 1

    tcfs/cfs seem to help nfs..of course they slow things down some.

  14. Re:Aaah, relief! on Computer Stupidities · · Score: 1

    err..my computer *does* have 6 gigs of memory. its also got 192 processors (origin 2000).

  15. bah.. on First person convicted of U.S. Internet piracy · · Score: 1

    another good reason to use free OSS software. why pirate when you can code ?

  16. roton rockets... on NASA test fires hybrid rocket motor · · Score: 1

    much kewler and theyre SSTO as well..check out the roton rocket website.

  17. Re:nuts.... on Interview: Mandrake Answers · · Score: 1

    may not. all you need is the mesa GL library and a really fast cpu.

  18. linuxmedialabs... on Ask Slashdot: Video Production on Linux? · · Score: 1

    is supposed to have some. sgi is beginning to port some stuff.

  19. Re:What about Audio? on Ask Slashdot: Video Production on Linux? · · Score: 1

    cakewalk is an mid composer/synth right ? there are a few mid/mod editors for linux..i believe freetracker is one. try freshmeat.

  20. Re:GTK+KDE on Borland/Inprise Linux Survey Results · · Score: 1

    mainly since GTK apps work on KDE anyway with the libraries installed and you can code with the GTK in C (which is probably still the preferred language of coders).

  21. Re:They're right, but they're wrong on Suck on Linux Evolution · · Score: 1

    i use afterstep too (wharf rulez!)..you forgot one thing tho.. coding is fundamentally *fun*.. i usually code when im bored anyway and so do many others.. ..nothings going to change that and there is always going to be a bunch of geeks coding/modifying and releasing open source GPLised linux distros...as long as theyre around i dont give a $hit about any commercial greedy twits in suits..

  22. Re:GPL & OSS == MONEY FOR OTHERS on Suck on Linux Evolution · · Score: 1

    correction. i didnt code because i wanted money. i certainly dont care if bob young is worth 10 billion. OSS did *not* just get raped. we code for ourselves to make life easier. we *dont* code for any other purpose. thats what OSS is about. if you want to make money off the code -- fine, but i did it for *me*.

  23. nuts.... on Interview: Mandrake Answers · · Score: 1

    wouldve like to see a quick and dirty hack of a 3D desktop...oh well..cant have everything.

    yep. apache seems to have ASP support via a module...not too sure about this tho. i also believe there is an ASP2PHP conversion util out there ?
