  1. No. on Would You Pay A Penny Per Page? · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't pay.

    I'd rather lose the content.

  2. Hey, that wasn't a troll... on KDE Wins 3 awards · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I truely believe that KDE has legitimate performance issues. I use it myself, but I've found that on the same hardware, a window manager like fvwm performs considerably better than the window manager from KDE does. And as far as web browsers go, Galeon is far, far less sluggish than Konqueror is.

    I really hope that in future versions of KDE that they start tackling the performance issue in preference to creeping featurism.Konqueror is great, but until it doesn't make my 128Mb PIII-750 machine thrash when de-iconifying a window, I'm going to be using Galeon.

  3. It figures... on USNA "Budget" Satellite Launched and Functioning · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...I've been using a metal coathanger to pick up TV for years :)

  4. Cool. on KDE Wins 3 awards · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Now if only they could convince them to remove some of the sluggishness from it.

    Not that I'm criticising it, mind you, but some of those windowing apps are very processor intensive.

  5. Films have been so bad, the last year... on Jet Lag: 2 Reviews Of "The One" · · Score: 2

    It's almost as if Hollywood has completely given up. For at least the last year, mainstream films from the US have been really, really unimaginative and boring. Either they are unfunny sequels to shlock comedies, repetitive disaster movies or dull feel-good films for kids.

    The only decent films making it to the screen these days are lesser-known alternative flicks from Australia or the UK.

    God help us when Hollywood starts making films about the WTC attacks, and subsequent wars

  6. That link... on OSI Approves Three New Licenses · · Score: 1

    ...to the Motosoto license doesn't work.

    At least, it didn't for me.

  7. Yeah, but... on Hellhound Paintball ATV · · Score: 1

    ...is it Windows compatible? ;-)

  8. Oh, come on... on iTunes 2.0 Installer Deletes Hard Drives · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Don't they test these things, anymore?

    Really, in the current economic climate, all the monkeys should have been thrown out of the high-tech jobs, leaving only clueful people.

    How does a bug like this occur?


  9. Would be nice... on FreeBSD Training Classes and Daemon Crossing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...to see this sort of thing in Europe, too.


  10. That's pretty ironic... on UNIX hits the Big Three-Oh · · Score: 0

    ...originally used for processing patents?

    Wow. Maybe we'll find that NT was originally used for printing standards.


  11. I'm surrprised that... on The Monk and the Riddle · · Score: 1

    ...someone hasn't come out with "Venture Capitalism for Dummies" yet...

  12. Ridiculous on Mount Rainier for Linux · · Score: 1

    Patents don't encourage innovation - they stifle it.

  13. Just use Apache... on Serving WAP Pages? · · Score: 1

    There's no difference between WML pages and HTML pages other than the MIME type that is used and the format in which they're written. Hence Apache can be used to serve them.

    If, on the other hand, you wish to make a dialin gateway that WAP devices can talk to, you'll need something like Kannel.
