    If you think you can't give someone a finger over the Net, then obviously you've never been on IRC. : )

    Does changing keywords in "Location" field not help?

  5. Re:Lack of returned hits... on Inspecting MSN Search · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually they all claim to _totally_ refresh their DBs in 2-7 days, IIRC. How does it matter for how long they have been doing this then?

  6. Re:Howto on Inspecting MSN Search · · Score: 1

    You go to settings and turn it off. That would be $49.99 for me helping you here, please.

    Linux Is Not UniX.
    GNU's Not Unix.
    FreeBSD is. /me thinks they all are

    Yes, in the same sense as opera is a kind of rap.

  9. Re:Ahh! on Fansubbers Under Fire · · Score: -1, Troll

    If you are confused then it does not concern you so please don't try to make your opinion because it is nothing of your business then. World would've be a (slightly) better place if people would live by some simple rules like this. (I hope I'm not trolling in anybody's eyes).

  10. Re:CmdrTaco supports Piracy? on Fansubbers Under Fire · · Score: 1

    Do you say that actually _buying_ DVDs is considered piracy too?! That explains it all, then. : )

  11. Whoa, whoa... on Fansubbers Under Fire · · Score: 1

    From the TFA: "It is technically illegal. When we announce a title, if there is a site that is distributing fansubs, then we contract them and ask them to remove it". Have you ever seen the notes on your anime "Please delete this stuff when it is officially released in your area. [Or something similar to it]" That's basically about it. And nothing is wrong with it. If everything is done in the proper (friendly) manner, what's the problem? Let's not blow the fire, guys ^_^

    Oh, shit. Try search.msn.com. They copied google so verbatim it's not funny. Roughly the same as .NET against Java.

    Do you _really_ wish to see a virtual bukkake?

    Uhm, what? Use http://search.msn.com. You don't go to news.google.com for Web searching, do you?

  16. Re:Better results than Google? on MSN Search Has Arrived · · Score: 1

    Yes, absolutely. But then I used to have better results with Google when Google was young. Wait and you'll see MSNS spammed, sued, etc. That's what I expect anyway.

  17. Wait a minute.... on ATI at the Top Graphics Chip Maker for 2004 · · Score: 1

    Intel at 40%, ATI at 27%, nVidia is "closely behind" with 18%. Where is the remaining 15%? (Almost as much as nVidia). Don't tell they are Matrox's ;) Anyway - either I live in my own reality or the article author smokes something weird.

  18. Re:Coke? on Apple, Google World's Top Brands · · Score: 1

    Contrary to what the company and its ads are likely to be made you to believe, it is not a _popular_ brand. I mean - have you ever told your friend - "Dude, you should drink Coke, it's _amazing_!!!". I think not. Or we have different concept of "following". Normally people don't give a fuck about Coke or some shampoo or whatever. "It works for me? - cool" - that's their approach. Now Apple!!! Need I say any more? Witness slashdot. Even Pixar - if there is ever a rumour that they are to release a new movie, there would be tons of people eager to grab a first-day copy or go to the theater. You see what I mean?

  20. Re:Maintenance on John Barlow Pushes Open Source in Brazil · · Score: 3, Informative

    In developing countries the cheap labor just installs whatever they are comfortable with and pisses on all of your "licensing costs". Do you seriously think that someone without Unix background will dive into it for $3/hr? Come on. Also - do you think that some local "big cahunna" will trust the cheap worker more than a US company that sells its software for a huge amount of money (represented by seriously looking "suits")?

    Forget G5. Where is my Quad PIV Xeon notebook, dangit?! I imagine HL2 would r0xorz on that. (Or that's what I learned). Uhm... Why?

  24. Re:Maybe it's because ... on Microsoft Posts Record Earnings · · Score: 1

    Who modded that funny? It is exactly what MS recommends - that you probably should have a server per each running server process. It's not at all funny when MSSQL or IIS take _all_ the RAM at opportunity and dump everything else to swap. Or CPU hogging for that matter.
