  1. Re:This is a bit silly on "Fastest Browser On Earth" Cuts Crud · · Score: 2

    Are you kidding me! Its a HUGE difference. I've gotta ask, have you even tried Opera 6? I gave mozilla 1.0 a shot because they offer tab browsing, mouse gestures, and popupkillers - btw everything that opera has had for a long time. I switched back to opera which is way more responsive using mouse gestures. Mozilla is slow with its mouse gestures, meaning you have to wait for a page to completly load before you can gesture to go back a page - LAME!

    Not only does Opera render noticeabley faster it caches pages really well, I'm talking split seconds, where Mozilla and IE seem to always completely reload even if you have the cache enabled.

  9. Re:OpenSource will hurt developers in the long run on Tim O'Reilly Bashes Open Source Efforts in Govt · · Score: 1


    Sorry, I really didn't mean to state that not sharing your code makes you greedy, but that fact that you our sharing means you are very generous.

    However when you get to the point where your just in it for the money, holding to no standards, and willing to screw people over. Than your being greedy.

    If you want to sell your code or your programming services, OpenSource does not put food on the table...

    hmm, interesting. Are there any starving OpenSource programmers out there? If your living in seattle and your hungry I'll buy you a sandwich.

    -ps Thank you OpenSource coders for not being greedy and sharing your wonderful software.

    Well, those pics sure scared the hell out of me, especially the one with the monster with the nasty teeth at crotch level.

  14. Re:RedHat? on OSNews on the LinuxWorld Exhibition Floor · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I often think its becuase of the "first to market" deal. Like Amazon for ecomerce or Ebay for auctions or Yahoo for portals. Redhat has been around for a while (one of the firsts) and they do a pretty decent job of marketing themselves.

    BTW, I am aware that Redhat does not eq linux and Linux was around before Redhat

  15. Re:Mini Disk! on Portable MP3 Player w/ Unix Support? · · Score: 1

    First off, I have GTA3 for ps2 not pc. Second, it sounds perfect. I just jack in to the stereo via headphone jacks so its in stereo. When I recorded onto my computer I could not hear any degrading in the sound quality.

    it aint that hard.

  16. Mini Disk! on Portable MP3 Player w/ Unix Support? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Out of all the things I have purchased and never used, my minidisk player is NOT one of them. I love that thing.

    They are pretty cheap now, I paid 80 bucks for my Sony MD walkman (bit of an older model now). The tapes are cheap too.

    One of my favorite things to do is record video game music off the stereo. I'm able to pop in GTA 3 select Head radio (better variety of weird noises between songs :-) ) and record and listen. I've later converted it to mp3 on my computer and have shared them with my freinds. I've done the same with SSX tricky. SSX tricky has a juke box feature where all the songs are played. The sound quality is fantastic!

    I recently purchased a really nice microphone for my MD player. Now I can sample sounds all over the place and use them on my computer to make music. Great if your into that sort of thing.

    Oh plus the tape adapters for the car work great! I'll never understand why they haven't caught on more with consumers. My friends say the same thing now after they have seen all the uses I've gotten out of it.

    I am thrilled to finally have something else out there other than Linux. I mean have you ever heard of a Microsoft Windows expo? I didn't think so. Linux is has ruled the planet earth for long enough!
