  1. Bit pricy! on Monitor One-Upmanship From IBM · · Score: 1, Informative

    You could buy 2 Apple 22 inch displays for $5000 AND a maxed out G4 and still have $1000s in change!

    I realise the IBM has a higher pixel density than the Apple models but I can't see many peope rushing out to buy this one.

  2. Re:Share and enjoy ... on Apple Still Says No To Aqua-Like Themes · · Score: 0

    Where's the artistic expression in a pixel to pixel copy?

    Apple have to go after every infringement however petty because if they don't then M$ can steal the whole appearance and say 'Apple didn't mind when some l33t skin d00ds stole the UI so they can't stop us' in court.

    This is why Hoover gets so up tight when competing products are described as hoovers and not vacuum cleaners - if they let one person use the trademark they let everyone use it.

  3. Re:Emacs on IP Theft in the Linux Kernel · · Score: 0

    Unset the mode ;)

    If you did this a lot you would set up some key binding to do this.

  4. Re:Speed on OS X on OS X 10.1 Coming Today (Sorta) · · Score: 0

    Dual CPU with W98 - that's a bit pointless isn't it? No wonder the 'doze box is so much slower!

  5. Emacs on IP Theft in the Linux Kernel · · Score: 0

    If iso-accents-mode is on just type /o and all is done for you...

  6. Re:Try the british press on Stallman: Thousands Dead, Millions Deprived of Liberties · · Score: 0

    The Telegraph isn't a tabloid - it's the best selling UK broadsheet - but Keegan's point of view is ludicrous.

  7. Re:a punishment suggestion on Continuing Twists In Microsoft, Intel Cases · · Score: 0
    A lot of these are unpublished:

    NT Native API

    .doc format

    .xml format

    Just about all their network protocols - indeed they continuosly and intentionally change them to break SAMBA.

  8. Re:software is incredibly complex... on Software Aesthetics · · Score: 0

    Or
    1: void donothing();
    2: int i,a,b;

  9. Re:But its not free (as in beer) on Quicktime In Linux · · Score: 1

    Since when was Win98 freeware?

  10. Re:Keep it Simple on Stopping The 56K Hate · · Score: 1

    Of course for ultimate simplicity you should support the 'Best Viewed with Telnet Port 80 Campaign'

  11. Re:Actually... on The Real History of the GUI · · Score: 1

    I had an ST and I remember all these 'trick' format utilities - by ramping up the sector and track counts you could get more than 900K on a 720K floppy. Good Days!

  12. w00t on Loki Speaks up on Chapter 11 · · Score: -1, Troll

    Taco's been w00ting for Loki - isn't that illegal?
