  1. Re:Time to change? on Foot and Mouth Virus and Outlook · · Score: 1

    There's too many legalities for that
    to be able to happen nowadays.

    Copy our content and we'll sue!

    etc, etc...

  2. Re:Uh oh! on NCR Claims Palm Infringes As "Personal Terminal" · · Score: 1

    >> The Casio Databank Watch is the greatest watch on earth I agree. No real geek should be walking around without one of these bad boys on their wrist. Just today, I amazed somebody by pulling a number out of my Data Bank. It's about time for them to get an upgrade, though. They don't seem to have changed much in the past half-decade.

  3. NATALIE on Patrolling Networks For Insecurities · · Score: 1

    Announcing the formation of NATALIE:

    The National Association for the
    Termination of Acronym Labels by Idiotic Entities.

    Anybody else sick of all the acronyms?

    caution! subliminal trolling!

  4. Re:Great. One of a kind. on New Baby in the Torvalds Home · · Score: 2


    The truth is hard, isn't it?
    Face facts, nobody cares about you, your children,
    or your grandmother. I'd bet that the person
    who originally sent out the birth announcement
    sent it to every other mailing list that s/he is subcribed to. RMS is totally on the mark;
    we don't need stupid people who don't know
    how to stay within the scope of a mailing list
    spawning children left and right.

  5. Re:i feel some bloat coming oooooon! on Microsoft Porting Applications To Linux (Really!) · · Score: 1


    I think you're a little confused. They didn't
    use millions of lines of code for any one
    application; they used millions of lines of code
    just to create the windows emulation layer,
    which they're going to heap the applications
    on top of, no doubt followed by a bunch of other
    useless crap just to get their mediocre software
    to run. In regard to the other guy's comments
    about win98 being less bloated than Linux:
    that's exactly why we don't need Linux+X+Gnome+KDE+Mozilla+WindowsEmulationLayer+Wi ndows+Office+IE. Get the point?

    From Mainsoft's press release page:

    >>
    . Mainsoft has incorporated several million lines of original Windows-based source code into MainWin.

    If I wanted all this junk, I would just forget
    about Linux and use Windows itself.
