  1. Features vs Stability on Ask New 2.4 Maintainer Marcelo Tosatti Anything · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Do you intend to bend to popular demand for features at the price of stability or is stability king in the stable kernel ?

  2. Another way this could have been done on No One Wants The Not-Coms · · Score: 1

    Why not add .us to then end of all the .com and .net and etc , then setup nameservers so that when queryed with ibm.com it looks at ibm.com.?? where ?? is the local country
    this would mean that the pressure would be removed from .com with all the other countrys using their own registerys

    The internet is an International Network and the domain names should reflect this

    This scheme would mean that putting ibm.com or ibm.co in a browser would go to the local ibm site , and putting ibm.com.us would goto the us page - internatinal companys can afford registering in every country of operation anyway

    does anyone here have any reasion that this plan wouldn't work ?

  3. Re:Bullets kill people! on Rootkit Developers And Legal Liability · · Score: 1

    Muzzle loaded Muskets are Arms too

    just control the automatic and seMi auto weapons , subject to a phychological exam and police inspection of your safe storage locker you can still have them.

    I'd love to see a drive by shooting with muskets
    at least the target might be the only one hit
    One shot guns tend to improve your accuracy !

  4. But these adds will cost me Money ! on Banner Ads: Biggest Advertising Mistake Ever · · Score: 1

    At work My employer pays for the internet useage by volume used
    at home I pay for my phone line at downloading a flash anim over modem is SLOW
    people seem to forget not everyone is on a Cable modem here.
    If i get ADSL at home then I'll have to pay for volume used too
    so bigger longer adds will cost me money

    and apart from thinkgeek adds on /. i have not found any adds that are targeted at me either.
    American Services are nice , but I'm not in america should banners be targeted by country ?
    is the banner industry to small, once these banner companys have sales execs in every country will the click through rate increase ?

  5. Mech Warrior IRL ? on Exoskeletons for Human Performance Augmentation · · Score: 1

    Someone has been reading Battle Tech and/or playing Mech Warrior a little too much

    Where can I get one ?

  6. Re:Yeah right! on Microsoft Funded by NSA, Helps Spy on Win Users? · · Score: 1

    And 2 french Agents Sunk the Rainbow Warrior (Green Peace's Flagship) in Auckland New Zealand killing one crew member
    Sinking an Unarmed ship in a friendly port in peace time that was protesting your south pacific nuclear testing.
    Wonder if this is the same French Intelegence ?

    there is such a thing as too much paranoia you know

  7. Re:Money Talks on Linux is Not Red Hat · · Score: 1

    Slackware balkanizing Linux ?

    Slackware hapens to use a STANDARD package manager that's all
    Slackware uses tar and gzip , what's so bad about that ? every unix around can use tar , gzip is available on most too
    rpm , deb ?
    why limit yourself to one distribution by using them ?
    granted that Slackware's uninstall and upgrade isn't as easy as appget or whatever debian calls it
    Slackware is standard , librarys in sensible historical places , portable package managment ....
    if you can get source in tar.gz format then every UNIX flavor can download it and use it not just some linux people !

    sorry I think you're wrong about slackware , and lets not have a my distribution is better than yours war
    thanks

  8. Re:Australian Constitution and politics... on Australia now has Net Censorship · · Score: 1

    Speaking as a new zealander
    I hope you Don't get the GST
    a 10% (ours has been upped to 12.5%) sales tax on everything really does strain the economy and raise prices too much.
    polititions are gong to get 2 unpopular bills passed by going to bed with one another to get teh numbers...
    polititions are just a worse class of prostitute !

  9. Re:more slashdot fud on Microsoft Joins Internet2 Coalition · · Score: 1
