  1. Re:bummer on Microsoft Nailed by Software Patent · · Score: 1

    If they speak out against patents, they'd be speaking out against themselves

  2. Good Thing(tm) on Is the SCO Lawsuit a Good Thing for Linux? · · Score: 1

    Good Thing(tm), You forgot the (tm), now /. is going to get sued!!

  3. Re:Cannonballs on SCO Targets US Government, TiVo · · Score: 1

    Exactly, they got nothing to loose. As another poster stated, this is a kamakazi attack. This FUD is destroying Linux's rep. It's not about the money, the /. crowd knows that SCO has to be be completly stupid if they think they're going to win.

    Does the general public and PHBs know this? Someone (right!) is really scared of Linux and is doing whatever necessary to throw dirt at it.

  4. Re:Hrmm on W3C Web Accessibility Standards 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Yup. As an example, just recently my sister was using my computer to access her course schedule for school and for some reason a simple javascript button on her school's site wouldnt work. I tried it on Mozilla, Opera, NS 7 and none worked. I called the school to see what was happening and got greeted by "You need to get a proper browser - Internet Explorer". I had to hang up and stop myself from screaming at the woman.

  5. Why complain? on Telemarketers Sue Over "Do Not Call" List · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why even complain about the do not call list if those people listed on the do not call list basically are saying that they don't want to buy stuff from the telemarketers in the first place!

    That's like me getting a list of girls who would never go out with me. I'd love to have that list , it would save me time. Then again that list might be bigger than the do not call list, but that is beside the point.

  6. Not surprising on US Shrugs Off World's IP Address Shortage · · Score: -1, Troll

    Just like everything else, The US doesnt give a shit about the rest of the world other than their own selfish agenda.

  8. Re:RMS may sound like a broken record but he's rig on Gates: Microsoft IP Finds Its Way Into Free Software · · Score: 1

    "One thing about the GPL is that you can't just license IBM Linux, or Red Hat Linux," Gates said. "The way the GPL works, if you license any Linux, you have to license all Linux."

    Thank you! , I thought I was the only idiot who didnt understand wtf he was saying here.

  9. IE on AOL Lays Off 50 Netscape Coders · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So AOL promised MS to use IE in their next versions (is this only for AOL windows?). How does the future plan of IE not being stand-alone affect this AOL using IE issue? Will MS release a special "IE for AOL" version? Will AOL not include a browser and just use IE APIs straight from Windows? What about non Windows users? Macs?

  10. Wohoo on VoIP Booming in Africa · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now it should be easier for me to contact the Nigerian Prince who needs me to transfer his money.

  12. Re:Does it constitute life? Tough call on Ice Detected Underneath Mars' North Pole · · Score: 1

    The space between us and Andromeda is quite daunting when the physical speed limit is "c."

    Damn amateurs!

  20. CDs on RIAA Not Done With Jesse Jordan · · Score: 1

    Well thats it, I'm not buying any more CDs and telling all my friends and family not to buy anything either. It will hurt the artists/labels? Well I don't care, they need to figure out an alternative way to bully RIAA .. bunch of donkeys.

    I've couple of those Fujitsu 4GB drives around that could function as a boat anchor. Real engineering stuff.

    So true, I've had 2 Fujitsus HDs, 5GB and 3GB that I use every day , day in and day out, heavy trashing, Windows and Linux. They are still serving me well.

    *knock on wood*

  24. Re:Stupid Reg on Build A Cross-Platform Test Network With Samba & GRUB · · Score: 3, Informative

    I would seriously recommend that you sign up. That IBM account is no junk. Considering that you get access to developerWorks, articles and tutorials which on itself is worth the hassle of registering.
