  1. Re:Slashdoted? on Review: KDE 3.2 · · Score: 4, Funny

    The page just takes awhile to load. My advice to you is: 1. Cut down on sugar an coffein 2. Get a girlfriend 3. Learn to be patient (se point 2) Patience my friend :) Ah, I lost you at number 1, didn't I?

  2. Why Debian is better than most. on Debian Fastest-Growing Distro, Says Netcraft · · Score: 0

    I've installed RH 4 times on the same machine. I've only installed debian once on the same machine. Nowdays I run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade sometimes. I can only recommend Debian nowdays :)

  3. Mick Jagger on Tim Berners-Lee Attains Knighthood · · Score: -1, Redundant

    getting knighted is like someone for death-penalties to win the Nobel Peace Prize...oh. Like President Bush winning the Nobel Peace Prize then, that's not possible, is it?

  4. Re:Hmm... on Depenguinator "Upgrades" Linux to BSD · · Score: 0

    I do apt-get upgrade almost everyday...

  6. Motivation? on The Oldest Mouse Contest · · Score: 0

    "The Methuselah Mouse contest was created in an effort to boost research into human longevity."

    Wouldn't the prospect of living longer yourself be motivation enough?

  7. A towel. on What Would You Put Into A Software Survival Kit? · · Score: 1, Funny

    You need to bring a towel! http://www.skywriterpress.com/Spice/adams.htm We miss you...

  8. Console or PC? on Phantom Game Console · · Score: 0

    They may call it a console, but we will probably call it a PC probably. :)
    What other platform has more than 320k titles?

    Think about it :)

  9. GNU/Linux worm on New Linux Worm Found in the Wild · · Score: 0

    I mean, according to the FSF FAQ, shouldn't this be called a GNU/Linux worm?

    Ok. So the average geek has these two options: 1. Have light reflecting on his/hers monitor, and no net access. 2. Have no light reflecting on his/hers monitor, and net access. For you who chose number 1, I'm sorry to inform you, that you're reading the wrong web-page... And yes, they are female geeks!

  13. Re:A few Words by "Ralph Merkle" on Nanotech Products Hitting the Market · · Score: 0

    In the future, nanotechnology will let us take off the boxing gloves. We'll be able to snap together the fundamental building blocks of nature easily, inexpensively and in almost any arrangement that we desire. This will be essential if we are to continue the revolution in computer hardware beyond about the next decade, and will also let us fabricate an entire new generation of products that are cleaner, stronger, lighter, and more precise.

    If the human race could do that, we would be gods.

  14. Re:Element names work well for a small low-order n on Server Naming Conventions? · · Score: 0

    I find it rather disturbing, that you would know the actual part number of an tissuebox...

  15. Re:RtCW from a Counter-Striker's perspective... on RTCW Single Player Demo & Linux Binaries · · Score: 0

    Counter-Strike incorporates very modern weaponry, that are more effective and more precise than World War 2 weapons, that the Wolfenstein weaponry is based on.

    Counter-Strike graphics are seriously outdated.
    Counter-Strike doesn't incorporate single player missions.

    Everytime I play Counter-Strike, there's always someone complaining about too much HS. So, it's probably a good thing that Wolfenstein didn't follow it's lead on this point.

    Sluggish handling? Come on, you're just used to Counter-Strike...if you we're used to Quake, you would think that Counter-Strike was sluggish.

    Counter-Strke incorporates bugs that have followed it since version 0.9 beta.

    I've tied to be a nice puppet and like Counter-Strike, but I can't seem to like it, sorry. I think Counter-Strike plainly suck. But why is Counter-Strike so popular among gamers? I have no clue, why is Windows so well used?

  16. Re:.NET on Linux 2.5.2 Kernel Released · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I've never seen anyone get a score of -1 before. Gratz!

    Ok, thanks.
    I will keep that in mind, next time my 2.4.x kernels crashes...
    Eh, wait a minute, next time? It hasn't actually crashed on me at all, and I'm running four different machines on it, around the clock.
    Define "super stable" please?

  23. A good idea on Does Linux Need Another Commercial Compiler? · · Score: 0

    Being a programmer in the gaming industry myself, I would like to say that its probably a good idea. Linux is probably the best server operating system we have, and optimizing servers can be as important as optimizing the clients. As for the cost, this product isn't directed to the mainstream, it's directed to gaming companies, that are thinking about moving from Micrsoft Visual C++, to a faster compiler...

  25. Billionairs in space on Mice Headed for Mars? · · Score: 1

    Well...this could solve one perticular problem. Couldn't we send Bill Gates to Mars, in a spacecraft runned pa Windows? If, the spacecraft would leave the Earth Atmosphere...there's no way he'll ever manage to get back...
