  1. Re:Usage Stats on SSH-Based Solutions - Looking for Industry Proof? · · Score: 2

    "No address or domain specific information will be supplied to anyone outside
    the project itself, only the conclusions. We will not publish
    any details of what hosts are running what versions."

    Haha, how convenient.
    OpenSSH leads in a survey conducted by the OpenSSH people.
    Who would have thought...

  2. Re:*BSD is Dying is Invited on Slashdot Effect, Live and In Person · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    If you want to beat up trolls, they have already won.

  3. It's obvious on Record Industry Wants Royalties for Used CD Sales · · Score: 2

    People here on /. don't want good music.
    They wan't good mass produced music.
    You want to be led like sheep only you've realized the current sheperd wants to fuck you all.

    There's plenty of good music out there, independent labels, clubs, "the net", old CD-s,
    hell you can even pick up an instrument and play whatever you like.
    But of course these methods require work, and it's harder to find communities to fit in where others share the same music tastes.

    Choices, choices...

  4. Re:You guys are all nuts!!! on Memorable Programming Assignments? · · Score: 3, Funny

    And now to Final Jeopardy...
    Write anything !

  5. Correction on Warcraft III Gone Gold · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Please consider the fact that Blizzard is suing people who write software to interoperate with theirs when deciding whether you want to purchase this game."

    How about:
    Don't support Blizzard's dirty tactics, download the game on your local p2p network !

  6. Nothing on Father's Day, Geek Style? · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    This weekend there is no Father's day where I live.

  7. There is only one way to beat them on Game Developers Cracking Down on Cheating · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ignore them.
    Yes, it's hard, that's why there are so many cheaters and trolls.
    If everyone collectively stopped playing when they see a cheater or troll they would go away.

    But unfortunately most players cannot tell good players from cheaters, trolls from newbies, and will keep giving the attention the cheaters/trolls want so bad.

  8. Typical Ask Slashdot on Cross Platform Version Control Systems? · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Whine whine I want something for nothing whine whine gimme cool free stuff whine whine

    The truth is, it is hard to reach production quality in an open source project that isn't popular enough.

    I use CVS for my pet projects but I wouldn't trust my work stuff to it, thank god we have a real VCS for "big bucks" at work.

  9. For all of you slamming MS on Latest IE Hole Lets Gopher Root You · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They don't care.

    Yeah, they made some PR stunts concerning security, but until stuff like this starts affecting their bottom line, they won't care.
    There are just too many morons out there buying their stuff, so the situation won't change anytime soon.

    And don't give me that crap about being forced into using it. Noone is going to hold a gun against your head and say: use explorer or die.
    If your employer makes you use stuff you hate, then you're just a lame pushover and you deserve what you get.

  10. they shouldn't on What's the Business Case for Microsoft and Open Source? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why should they ?
    Just because some nerds on slashdot don't like MS ?

    MS is doing really well. That may change in the future, but for now I have to say they know what they are doing, so whatever open source policy they come up with is probably best for them and their shareholders.

  11. BSD sucks on FreeBSD 4.6 Release Delayed · · Score: -1, Troll

    Attention, this is not a troll.

    I've tried them all , even PicoBSD.

    BSD's are from people who got together to write the most unusable piece of software they could come up with. From their installers, through their shell choices to the port system. Braindamage galore.

    It may do the job for a few "chosen ones" who ardently guard their secret kernel tuning parameters instead of making them default.
    For everyone else it's not a surprise that BSD is dying.

    You don't need to be a Malda to own something really pathetic, just get BSD !
    Obsolescence and braindamage just a download away !

  12. nvidia drivers on Review of Linux Gaming Using WineX 2.0 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Geforce 3d performance is great, but the 2d quality is just too awful for me.
    I've tried many cards, and returned them all !

    I'm waiting for a card that has good 3d _and_ 2d quality at the same time. The new radeon doesn't seem to have good drivers yet, I wonder what the matrox parhelia will be like.

  13. Re:Meh. on Red Hat Makes Patent Promise · · Score: 2, Funny

    > I'm sure you could squeeze out at least four or maybe even five dollars.

    You think you're funny, but that's the actual yearly budget of Debian.

  14. Bah on Mozilla RC3 Released · · Score: 2

    Mozilla RC3 ?

    1.0 is already on Kazaa !

  15. Damn on New Internet2 Land Speed Record · · Score: 2, Funny

    With the Internet2 I could download those looped Scorpion King trailers disguised as AOTC 8000 times faster !

  16. Hrm on E3 Doom III Preview · · Score: 2, Funny

    What's the deal with the legacy movie ?
    They show FEAR in big letters then they show some gummi bear looking monster.
    Who are these people ?

  17. Re:Never dload something executable off of P2P on Targeted Worm Hits Kazaa's Network · · Score: 2, Insightful

    > The lesson: never, ever download something executable off of a public P2P network like Kazaa, Gnutella, etc.

    Don't forget, gnutella runs on non-braindead platforms too.

  18. Re:Some reviews on Quickies from a Galaxy Far Far Away · · Score: 2, Funny

    thanks for the link, I liked this one better:

    along with the shadowy and superbly named Darth Sidious. (Who else? Darth Nuendo? Darth Vasion? Darth Tergalactic-Warfare?)

  19. Spoilers on Star Wars: AOTC Reviews Pour In · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've been quite spoiled for this movie, reading the script and spy reports, downloading the pics etc.
    It can be quite frustrating to know that a couple of my favourite scenes has been cut from the final, so I'm staying spolier free for EPIII.

  20. Well, she looks... on Danese Cooper (of Sun) Finally Answers · · Score: 0, Interesting
  21. Re:RedHat != Linux on AbiWord 1.0.1 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Just for the record, dpkg -i doesn't sort out anything, it's just complains if a dependency is missing.
    From the manpage:
    "(actually, checking is performed, but only warnings about conflicts are given, nothing else)"

  22. Re:I'm surprised that Microsoft... on AbiWord 1.0.1 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Um, that would be trademark infringement.

    But anyway, I don't think Word is a trademark, that would be ludicrous.

  23. Re:question on New OpenOffice.org-Based Office Suite · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't get it why people are so harsh on the paperclip.
    You can change it to a cute little doggie !
    The doggie has helped me lot in my productivity and in making my desktop frendlier.

    How does the plan 9 resident storage compare to the QNX qnet transparent network storage ?

  25. Re:Is it actually SPYware? on Kazaa Lite: spyware-free version · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes it is.
    It extends Internet Explorer, where the spyware is keeping track of all of the sites you visit and sends your trail to a centralized host. There, your surfing habits are analyzed and sold to online marketers.
