  1. Toshiba's work well... on Which Laptop To Buy? · · Score: 1

    Toshiba laptops work very well with both linux and *BSD. Johnathan Buzzard wrote the Toshiba Linux utilities... http://www.buzzard.org.uk/toshiba/index.html These were ported to NetBSD, so the Toshiba tops work pretty much flawlessly. I am using a 4 year old Toshiba Tecra 500CS and everything(modem[it is not a winmodem...], sound, IR, PCMCIA, display, apm, can suspend in linux, fan turns on/off using fan program...) works in linux and most everything(modem, shitty sound[8bit only], PCMCIA, display, apm, fan program) worked in netbsd. They are a great choice for those looking to purchase laptops...

  2. The house? on Congress To Address Digital Music · · Score: 1

    I have lost **all** faith in the ability of the `house' to address anything. The DMCA proves that. Maybe they could just pretend they were addressing important issues. But then they would get less payoffs from (big business/labor unions).

  3. What is meant when... on Small Breath of Life for Pluto Mission · · Score: 1

    ....the article says that the $25 million ''could keep it alive until further funding is found." Is this implying bribery? If we allocated more to these missions and less to prosecuting DMCA offenders... I would like to see a manned mission to mars become a priority. Something that the U.S. is really driven to do. Like going to the moon was in the 60's.

  4. at least NM is not hypocritical on New Mexico Drops out of Microsoft Case · · Score: 1

    any state government which uses MS software should also drop the case.

  5. netbsd kernel on NetBSD 1.5.1 is Out · · Score: 1

    i have always found netbsd to be much less stable than linux. however, it is a very nice OS, and i'm glad to see 1.5.1 finally released. IMHOP Netbsd is the best of all the BSDs. If you want an alternative to linux/windows, or want to run BSD unix on your wristwatch, netbsd is for you. kudos netbsd developers...

  6. KIllustrator..errr..KIllistrator on Adobe Responds to KIllustrator · · Score: 1

    why not just call it KIllistrator. half of these butchr gremmar speling l33t trolls (yeyy! frist post!!) wont know the difference...

  7. Similar experiences... on Slashback: Reconciliation, Passportation, Inflation · · Score: 1

    I have had similar experiences with compuserve 2000...they use proprietary protocols, so you cannot connect in linux. These so called `ISP's are just con-artists.

  8. actually, it is used almost exclusively... on In the Beginning Was FORTRAN. · · Score: 1

    fortran is used almost exclusively in the scientific community. it has many powerful mathematical features that c/c++ does not, such as dynamic arrays.

  9. Re:And this does what? on Python Now GPL compatible · · Score: 1

    > excuse me? isn't the quake engine under the GPL?

  10. cnet article on O'Reilly Sez Ask Craig Mundie · · Score: 3

    cnet has an article about the same subject. according to them, Red Hat's Michael Tiemann is going to be in a debate w/Craig Mundie... http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-6218716.html? tag=st.lx.1491268.today.1003-200-6218716

  11. Cancers spread... on Ballmer Calls Linux "A Cancer" · · Score: 1

    Cancer spreads. Pretty soon M$ will be lying in a coffin.

  12. veggy oil... on Running Vehicles on Vegetable Oil? · · Score: 1

    vegetable oil at the grocery store is still more expensive than gasoline. this is an interesting novelty, but not necessarily a solution. how about a fission powered car ; )
