  1. Re:Not yet! on Hardware Manufacturers that Actively Support Linux? · · Score: 1

    We all know IBM is supporting linux any way it can. And everyone should know by now that Lexmark == IBM. So, it should go without saying that lexmark printers should have great linux support.

  2. revolt? on U.S. Considers Microsoft Passport as National ID · · Score: 1

    This country hasnt had a good revolution in awhile. Who better to organize one than the technophiles?

  3. Re:star wars was ripped off a japanese film on Star Wars as Pulp Sci-Fi · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not a rippoff of 1 book, but 20 or so strung together, with a bunch of lies thrown in the middle to pull it all together.

    A lot of the lore and miracles come from the sumarians. Either directly as stories from sumarian folklore or indirectly as stories stolen and bastardized by the people of babylon, and then taken by the christians.

  4. Re:wow, im surpised on Star Wars as Pulp Sci-Fi · · Score: 1

    Akira Kurosawa's "The Hidden Fortress".

  5. wow, im surpised on Star Wars as Pulp Sci-Fi · · Score: 1

    Suprised that you are all this stupid. Star wars is a direct rip off, scene for scene of a 40's or 50's (my memory fails me) black and white movie about an emperor in china. There was a slashdot article a year or 2 ago about it.

  6. lame on New Clie Handhelds · · Score: 0, Troll

    66mhz and 16megs. All I can say to that is "ugh". I cant beleive anyone would even consider this. They have 206mhz handhelds now, and 16megs? Seriously, this is slow, and has no memory. Sure it has the expansion slot but I want at least a little bit onboard. By a little bit I mean at least 32.

  7. Re:Is THAT why I ran over all this school children on Columbine Video-Games Suit Dismissed · · Score: 2, Flamebait

    all THOSE school children.

  8. Is THAT why I ran over all this school children? on Columbine Video-Games Suit Dismissed · · Score: 1, Funny

    Its a miracle, next the DMCA will be overturned, the SSSCA will be thrown out, and the Windows source code will be GPL'd.

  9. Postnuke on Running Weblogs With Slash · · Score: 1

    Postnuke is much easier to setup, doesnt take a book to explain. Has a lot of good addons. Why run slash, when you can get the same thing from something simple to use, easy to setup (under 20 minutes from the first time I downloaded it, to the default site running just fine.)

    (and no, im not on the postnuke team, they have just done real good work.)

  10. Re:/. pattern on Could Mono Kill Gnome? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Its simple, they recognize how much better KDE is. And it seems to me that they enjoy posting about the soap opera that is the gnome story.

  11. Re:get the files here while you can on Blizzard Rains on Bnetd Project · · Score: 1

    or here

  12. Good for GNOME. on RMS Asks Miguel to Explain Himself · · Score: 0, Troll

    You might think this a troll. But, I truely cant stand gnome. I dont like it. I am a KDE fan. I'm happy to see him making it an easier choice for my friends.

    Gnome sucks, has sucked, and will always suck.

  13. Re:Borland C++ or Borland C++ Builder on Borland C++ For Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    correct, this is going to be C++ Builder, the full IDE. Same as they made Delphi for linux (Kylix).

  14. Re:For you non-Swedes on GNOME 2.0 Desktop Alpha · · Score: 1

    Since no one has replied, I highly doubt anyone even caught the underpants gnome reference.

  15. Re:What about a database? on Accounting Systems on Linux? · · Score: 1

    Lack of ACID compliance? Get the Gemini table type from www.nusphere.com's Enhances MySQL. It has full ACID compliance.

  16. Every response is going to be just about speed. on College Board AP CompSci Exam Will Be In Java · · Score: 2

    You know every response to this is just going to be "can they do the test in time, with a language that slow/bad?"

    go troll's

  17. Re:ftp instead of http.. on KDE 1.94 "Kandidat" released · · Score: 1

    I want The State back damnit!
    (i wonder how many people got this)

  18. Adams MP3/VCD/CD Player on MP3/CD Players Reviewed · · Score: 2

    How come no one has mentioned the Adam's player yet. It plays all the same cd's that these 2 do, and it playes vcd's all versions (1, 2 and 3). available at mp3 solutions. Its a little more expensive, but I got mine last week, and its great. Plays the vcd's on my tv flawlessly, and it hasnt skipped on me yet. Its case is strong, came in a kinda shoddy box, but so what. Ive had no problems with song navigation, it shows them like "Title 01 Track 01 00:20" where the first # is the directory, second is the song # from that directory and the third is the time. Its very nice.

  19. Re:What patent? on Credit-card sized Linux system · · Score: 1

    scary indeed. What if the palm decides to get a little smaller, or thinner.. Is it now infringing on their patent?

  20. DVD's have been pirated for over a year now. on Interview: Jon Johansen of deCSS Fame (UPDATED) · · Score: 1

    Why do you think that DeCSS was made to be such a big deal. The movie pirating community has been copying DVD's with computers, using software just like yours for over a year now. I personally have copies of 3 different peices of software dating to march 99. So, what was all the ruckus over DeCSS?

  22. The God Particle on Interview: Physicist Leon M. Lederman · · Score: 2

    In the book the God Particle you talked all about a particle that was the basis for everything. Are we any closer to seeing this particle, or better yet understanding this particle. Also, this "particle" being what it is, does it require a new classification to be created for it? Atom, quark, these just dont seem to fit.

  23. hello? on WebTV Security Hole · · Score: 1

  25. We Say So. Inc. on S3 Buys Diamond Multimedia · · Score: 1

    Does anyone remember the old tv show "Dinosaurs"? It was all pupets or people in costumes. It had a company that was THE company, period. No other companies existed. Their add's were "Why? Because We Say So." Doesnt it look like thats what we are heading too?
