  1. Re:fp on GNU Christmas Gift: Free Eclipse · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    If you try to post a real comment first, it takes long enough that someone got in a "fp" type post instead.

  2. sun and java on GNU Christmas Gift: Free Eclipse · · Score: 2

    I wish sun would just open up the java libraries, that would make open source java developement even easier.

  3. Re:DRM for a present on Digital Rights Management on CD's This Christmas? · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I gave my sister coal for christmas as a joke.

  6. best proof ever on Should NASA Try To Refute Crackpots? · · Score: 2

    I read the best argument against the crackpots here on slashdot a little while ago:
    You think the Soviets would have been monitoring the transmissions and would loved to let everyone know if they weren't coming from the moon.

    Of course the crackpots would claim the soviets were in on it too. And do you think NASA would really fake something like Apollo 13?

  7. Re:EULA- can't "Accept" on DirectX 9 Finally Out · · Score: 3, Informative

    I had the same problem getting the windows .net server release candidates.

    Just look at where the form submits to and right your own basic form that will do the same thing, their site doesn't check referrer strings for submitting forms :)

  8. sewage overflow containment on Suggestions for Unique Names for a Server Room? · · Score: 2

    In the spirt of Peter's Evil Overlord list:
    65. If I must have computer systems with publically available terminals, the maps they display of my complex will have a room clearly marked as the Main Control Room. That room will be the Execution Chamber. The actual main control room will be marked as Sewage Overflow Containment.

  9. Re:Just in time for Christmas!! on FreeBSD 5.0 RC2 Almost Ready · · Score: 1

    I'll check that out next time I boot over to freebsd. Good thing I haven't removed it to try out gentoo.

  10. Re:Just in time for Christmas!! on FreeBSD 5.0 RC2 Almost Ready · · Score: 2

    Well apt is largely based on ports anyway. The source packages are basically identical. The big thing is that apt provides binary packages (and handles dependencies great)

  11. Re:there's more on Queen Loses Out In newzealand.com Dispute · · Score: 2

    of course there is gop.gov which is a website for a political party....

    I would be the happiest man alive if debian would use the FreeBSD kernel.

    They're working on it

    .gov is for US government institutions

    Check out RFC 1591

    United States Only Generic Domains:

    GOV - This domain was originally intended for any kind of government office or agency. More recently a decision was taken to register only agencies of the US Federal government in this domain. State and local agencies are registered in the country domains (see US Domain, below).

  14. Simple on Inexpensive Alternatives for ICANN Disputes? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why does the handling of such disputes cost so much?

    Obviously because it was designed to let corporations take domains away from the little guy and not the other way around. Yet another case of the rich get richer, the poor get poorer.

  15. In Facist America... on Outsourcing Big Brother · · Score: 2
