  1. Life on Does Age Really Matter? · · Score: 1

    It might not seem nice, or may be frustrating, but that's generaly how life works. You'll see it everywhere.

    Not only that, some day you get old, and have the problems that come with being "out of date" or "not in touch with the pulse of the youth/technology"

    You just have to learn to deal with it and be the best you can.

    "A chacun son gôut. Póg mo th-Ón."

    If I'm not mistaken, isn't that Gaelic? I know that the Pog m'hon means "kiss my behind" but I might be totally wrong :)

  3. Re:marriage on Interview With Eric Allman And Kirk McKusick · · Score: 1

    Are you trying hard to be a troll? What about people who choose not to have kids or can't have kids? Marriage is a good thing, and doesn't necessitate producing offspring. It encourages monogamy, which is good for society as a whole.

    I'm married,own a house, won't have kids, a conservative, and a gulf war veteran, so I think I have some authority in this matter, and I'm guessing that you are young and haven't really been in the real world yet, and don't have any authority in this matter.

    I have to say, not only are you very immature, but are also naive, clueless, and not in touch with reality.

  4. Rats on Australian Scientists Produce Giant Mutant Mice · · Score: 1

    they've basically created rats from mice. Isn't that nice?! Just what we need - more rats.

  5. this is nonsense on Nike Gets Sued Over Nike.com Hijack · · Score: 1

    Just like a person being in trouble for a burgler stealing a gun from their house, and then committing a crime. What if they steal a steak knife? Or drill, and injure or kill someone with it? It's all nonsense. The legal system in this country is pure rubbish, and needs to be gutted. No, it's not like the roman empire, where you'd get crucified - in this age, you get lawyered to death.

  6. Hot Air in 1s and 0s on Clinton's First Internet Address To The Nation · · Score: 1

    He's such a gas-bag with his eternally long, fluff embedded speeches. How does hot air look in 1s and 0s?

  9. Re:we need out 'own' net on Fuji TV Shuts Down Iron Chef Fansites · · Score: 1

    this type of stuff happens all the time. Startrek took the same stance (paramount) where as Babylon5 (WB) let the Babylon5 sites flourish.

  10. That's a considerable chunk of revenue on Microsoft Enticed To Move To British Columbia · · Score: 1

    With Canada's tax system, imagine the chunk of change that would be in tax revenue? I can see why they would want them to relocate there.

  11. Re:Good to hear ... on New Slash Version v1.0.3 · · Score: 1

    he gets tons of email - the best way for the bug to be fixed is to log it into sourceforge.

    uh, if I recall correctly, it's Algore's daughter who works for M$ via Slate.

  19. Re:A growing awareness of getting screwed.. on Linuxcare Business Shuffle (UPDATED) · · Score: 1

    No, you don't need anybody in particular in life, but I have to take issue on you poking at Redhat and VA.

    I work for Andover (being aquired by VA), and we work hard at trying to do things that will benefit the open source community. I suppose that maybe you had a bad experience somewhere along the line and feel slighted, and I don't know your exact situation. All I can say is that Andover is the best place I've ever worked and the people that I've met from VA are some of the most public conscious people that I've met. They do care about the community. I get paid to work on an open source project, and we do our best to help the public, and do things that will benefit the public.

    When we put out a new release of Slashcode, I make sure that any developer gets credit on any of their contributions to the code, or even ideas that they contribute.

    It's really hard to read a lot of comments here attacking the various Linux companies, when I know the truth of how hard we work at doing the right thing. All this vitriol that I've been reading about how we're just out for the money or profit, is just utter nonsense.

  20. Re:Netscape missing the point. (BzzzT! WRONG!) on Netscape Nondisclosing Mozilla Security Bugs? · · Score: 1

    The issue here isn't whether anyone is saying they have "a right to know". The Mozilla team can do anything they want with their project. Just don't call it open-source if it isn't open-sourced.

    Truth in advertising.

  21. Open source means open sourced! on Netscape Nondisclosing Mozilla Security Bugs? · · Score: 1

    I can't even believe that this is an issue. Open source means that everyone has the ability to look at every aspect of the code - bugs - functionality or security related. Otherwise, it isn't open source. If they choose to not let everyone have the abilty to contribute, then they shouldn't proclaim their project as being open-sourced.

  22. Ginseng on Sleep Deprivation Increases Brain Activity · · Score: 1

    I think I'll stick to taking lots of Ginseng and Niacin, and coffee if I want increased brain activity.

  23. what's missing? on Death of CDE & Motif? · · Score: 1

    well, let's see... bloatedness, closed source, ugly widgets, ability to crap out and sometimes take your X-server with it..., no new features for several years..

    It's me, Patrick Galbraith, I'm the guy who's co-maintaining this with Rob. I was going to create the name "CaptSandwich", but I like Tofu better, and I wanted more rank (LtTofu wouldn't be so cool), so Captain and Tofu. No mystery there. I have a link to the site in my name so that I don't get bombarded - that's what the mailing lists are for.
