  1. Get a grip on When Should a Consultant Question Decisions? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It sure sounds like you're asking us to define your personality for you. Grow a pair, make a decision, and live with it.

  2. Re:Solaris Vs. Mickeysoft. on Sun May Use Opteron Chips · · Score: 1


    Is that why they have an open hardware spec (sparc.org) that allows competitors (fujitsu) to seriously go head to head with them?

  3. Re:RH is sold out on Red Hat Linux 9 Release And Interview · · Score: 1

    Wow, it's barely even out and you've already decided portal/CMS is a "bad choice".

    What, pray tell, qualifies you as an expert in portal/CMS - anything other than your knee-jerk response to Java?

  4. Zope? on Red Hat Linux 9 Release And Interview · · Score: 2, Flamebait

    So what, because it's not Zope based, it can't be open source? I don't follow your flippant remark at the end.

  5. Police State on Former Intel Employee 'Disappeared' by U.S. · · Score: 1

    This kind of crap is why I'm far more afraid of our own government than Iraq's.

    I'm sure most people out there disagree, it's a lot easier going through life rationalizing or sticking your head in the sand.

  6. Re:Three pieces of advice... on Advice for a Dad-To-Be? · · Score: 1

    Good for you. I hope I do as well. 99.9999% of parents just shovel crap in their kid's face, and will do ANYTHING to just get the kid to shut up. That's how we end up with so many stupid, spoiled, worthless people in society ...

    ooops, I ranted.

  7. You're not alone on Advice for a Dad-To-Be? · · Score: 1

    I'm in the same two-income long-hours first-child-on-the-way (July 8th) boat as you are.

    She's going to cut back, and I'm going to telecommute the days she works, and we'll figure out the rest from there. :)

  9. Re:Remote pair programming? on Hydra: Rendezvous-Enabled Text Editing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How'd he invent it?

    Seems to me he RECOGNIZED that XP existed, and perhaps documented it ... but the techniques have been around for quite some time.

  10. Re:Use technology to invade her privacy on Do Privacy Fears Allow Terrorism? · · Score: 1

    That's not enough. It really needs to go beyond that, steal their credit identity and SCREW them. Make their lives miserable. Have the DEA bust down their door and drag them out into the street in the middle of the night and let them sit it out in jail for a day or two.

    Let them see the REAL other side of the equation.

  11. Re:this is /. on The Googlewashing Of Our Language · · Score: 1

    Well, probably not. Not as long as it's only the same two halves of one party (democrats/republicans) in control. Why should they do anything?

    Don't get me wrong, I write 'em, but I don't expect anything. Until a majority of people dare to vote third party (I don't even care which much anymore!), nothing's going to change. Freedoms will continue to go down, taxes will continue to go up.

  12. Wow on Paypal Charged Under PATRIOT Act · · Score: 4, Funny

    I thought terrorists only got money from pot? That's what all those TV commercials say...

  13. Re:BitTorrent not working well on Snag the Red Hat 9 ISOs, via Cash or BitTorrent · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is true. I started out with 12 hours time left, I'm now at 6 hours. I suspect over time, this number will approach 0. :)

  14. Re:Yikes on Google Tries To Silence IPO Rumours · · Score: 4, Funny

    It was suggested a while back that editors reject articles with poor grammar. Unfortunately, they decided it wasn't feasible because the editors couldn't come up with any reasonable way for them to figure out if a submission had good grammar. :)

  15. Why? on Google Tries To Silence IPO Rumours · · Score: 1

    A successful PayPal IPO didn't rejuvenate it...

  16. Re:Not concealing anything. on Michigan First With A Law That Could Outlaw VPNs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You might be right...

    but what makes you think the isp, cops, judge, or jury would comprehend that ?

  17. Re:As much as we all like freeloading on Mandrake Linux 9.1 (Bamboo) Is Available! · · Score: 1

    Exactly, and each of those people has the right to assemble, the right to travel, and the right to hold up signs.

    Your problem is you're too egocentric: you think you have rights, but nobody else does.

    If you think you have the right to a traffic free commute, you better start suing every other driver on the highway for infringing upon your god-given rights.

  18. Re:Tracking money is wrong. on Moneydance - Cross-Platform Personal Finance · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Don't live so close to the edge. It's a lot easier.

    Yeah, some people have no choice, but 98% of the people out there do, and 98% of those live on (or over) the edge. I can't tell you how many idiots I've worked with that made 6 figures that live paycheck to paycheck because they have no concept of not indulging their every whim and desire.

    (sorry, impersonal rant :))

    Actually, you don't have those rights. None of them.

    Learn what a right is.

    Other than that, I agree - fuck the protestors. The war's stupid, but the protestors are more stupid.

    "Uhh, gee, like, huhh... war's bad..er...no.. NO BLOOD FOR...what was it again? oh yeah, OIL. NO OIL FOR BLOOD!"

  23. Re:Unified Desktop on Red Hat 9 To Be Released March 31 · · Score: 1

    I sincerely hope they're not that stupid.

    The unified desktop is probably one of the smartest things Red Hat has ever done. Finally end lusers can mix KDE and Gnome apps without ending up with a hodge-podge looking desktops with half the apps looking one way, and half the apps looking the other.

    The 8.0+ Desktop is the most professional looking desktop I've seen thus far.

    No, it's not as l33t as your hax0red out KDE install with liquid m0sf3t, but they're not catering to you either.

    Any capable l33t hax0rs can install their own themes and override the desktop.

    I guess you're not that savvy.

  24. Anyone bother to read it? on Browser Cookie Patent · · Score: 1, Insightful

    They didn't patent the cookie.

    I can't believe we get these submissions DAILY where both the submitter and the editor are too lazy to read the article.
