  1. Let's outlaw desks on Gartner Says Linux PCs Just Used To Pirate Windows · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I wonder how many desks out there are being used to hold up computers that have pirated versions of windows on them. how dare they. We better require that Windows XP gets bundled with desks!

  2. Re:Skinning is Worth It on Winamp Skin Exploit in the Wild · · Score: 1

    it doesn't have to look like a rectangular window at all. That just rocks!

    Big deal, K-Jofol had that nearly a decade ago.

  3. Why stop where they did? on Ultra High Definition Video · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised that they stopped at a flat screen. With all of those speaker positions, why didn't they have the screen wrap around the viewer? That would have made more sense even though it would be ssuper teadious to film videos for it.

  4. Re:Flash on Ghost In The Shell 2: Innocence · · Score: 1

    You're right. I hate when presumptous web designers take up your entire screen automatically. I want to keep my websurfing within the browser size limits which I set - not the web designers desire to make thier website my only purpose using my computer at that moment.

    At least they could have had the thing load first in a small screen - then maximize, but no, my computer is useless until they finish loading - There wasn't even a title bar to change the window size with during the wait.

  5. Re:Yet more proof on Red Hat Linux Support To End · · Score: 1

    Which one? I bet that there are a lot of them. Also, it is not proof of any flaw in RedHats business model, they are still making money off of open source software and its support.

  6. OpenJigs on Fight Woodworking Piracy: Add EULA Restrictions · · Score: 1

    Time to start the Open Source Jigs Foundation.

  7. Re:Childish screening procedures. on Linus to SCO: 'Please Grow Up' · · Score: 1

    If you stay on with the company -- even as the receptionist or janitor, you're condoning its actions.

    So if I stay a U.S. Citizen, then I must support everything the U.S. government does (like wars and such). If I don't support them, then I should reject my citizenship and move to another country???

    Such logic is far too simplistic and childish.

  8. Re:Can this be too late? on New Antitrust Complaint Filed Against Microsoft · · Score: 1

    They don't really care how we feel about their practices. They know that they've got most computer users hooked and will probably get their money.

    As for me and my house, we will not serve M$

  9. Re:Lets think about this ... on Appropriate Punishment For Crackers? · · Score: 1

    A Cybercrime should never be more punishable than murder or rape. Money is just money and should not take precedence over the life of a rape victim.

    Of course, since this society is money driven and nobody can get money from a rape victim, why care about them?

  10. Re:Yaaahh! on Star Wars Producer Says Box Office is Doomed · · Score: 1

    It would be good to have a redesign of the entertainment industry. Our society puts way too much importance on entertainment. It doesn't seem right that entertainers get paids millions while the people (like engineers, etc.) who really work for their living every day (and studied their asses off) get paid peanuts. Bring 'em down to where they belong!

  11. God doesn't care - n/t on Dell No Longer Selling Systems w/o Microsoft OS · · Score: 1

    If he's there at all...

  12. Re:Who will 'force them'?? on Will Microsoft Code-Checking Plans Cripple the GPL? · · Score: 1

    I'll tell him/her that it's against my religious convictions to use windows and I need the document in a "proper" format.

  13. Re:Software NOT Different on Why (Most) Software is so Bad · · Score: 1

    The process of software development is not developed efficiently yet. We (programers) are in a relatively young form of work as compared to the (real) engineering sciences. We may be special and high-payed now, but that is simply becasue it is so new. In reality, we are just the blue-collar workers of the next century

  14. Re:Not Exactly on Why Linux Won't Ever Be Mainstream · · Score: 1

    hmm, I guess that back in the 50's women were less inclined to stand up for themselves too - letting their husbands order them around and have the upper hand - often to violence, etc.

    Hmm, I used to be a Nephite...
