  1. Re:Answer is simple .. on Conducting a Unix Desktop Usability Study? · · Score: -1

    I disagree. There are a lot of features that were birthed elsewhere that have made it into apps across the spectrum. Marketshare doesn't define "usability". Marketshare may seem (operative word) to be setting standards, but that doesn't mean usability. Hell, look at MS office vs. OpenOffice. I find OpenOffice to be far more usable, granted that version 2 looks a lot like the latest MS office product offering.

    Why not follow OSX closely? Or Warp? Or .... You get my point. Windows, to me, doesn't define usability (in my case it's just the reverse). Just because MS has the greatest marketshare doesn't mean that it sets the standard for usability.

  3. behind the times on Vista To Be Updated Without Reboots · · Score: -1

    Us Linux users have had this "feature" for a while now, nice to see Windows catching up. Now i won't have to reboot my family's computers over VNC when I'm fixing whatever-the-hell they've done to it. Oh wait a minute, I already do that... with WhyReboot. Hmmm...

  4. Yay for "bad" Link! on Realism vs. Style: the Zelda Debate · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'm very pleased to see that cartoon gay-boy Link is no more. When i saw videos for this at E3 (not the last one, but the one before) I knew that Nintendo was responding to the masses that share my sentiments. It was great to see Link riding a stalion through a battlefield toward a warthog/man thing swinging a sword through the air to cut it's head off. Oh, and after reading all of this... i realized that nobody had posted... so in a desperate attempt to be cool: FIRST POST! (although i'm sure i'll be number 20-30 anyway).

    Yeah, real great... although my Linux machine isn't running "setup.exe". Something about not being able to run win32 code... weird.

    > 2. We had this crazy huge build.xml file that...

    Your fault, you _can_ split your ant build files into seperate files (much like how a lot of people do Makefiles).

    > 3. I never could figure out how to ask ant to echo the compile line. Make echos it by default and I like it that way.

    Ant doesn't exec javac when it compiles .java files, it uses the compiler APIs internaly to compile them.

    I feel you on the IDEs though.

    Man, you are a real moron. WTF are you doing writing code in VB anyway? I'm not even going to comment on anything else you said... WHAT REASON are you using VB for? I think it's because your penis is small or something. I have a huge penis myself, it drags on the floor. The tip of my cock gets scabby very frequently.

  10. Re:Don't forget: on Gentoo 2005.0: A Live CD And [No] Graphical Installer · · Score: 0

    That's a great site (funny as hell), I've seen it before. And being a Gentoo user myself (came from slackware) it makes me sad to see things like that. Gentoo's documentation is very good. It's tools make things that *seem* "elite" easy to do. Possibly the reason for all of the newbies out there claiming to be Linux Gods... making the rest of us Gentoo users that love Gentoo for it's package management, configuration file management, and other things that slackware isn't as good at (IMHO), look bad. All in all, Gentoo is a great distro, and i recomend it to all of my more "savy" friends. Newbies should stick with Fedora or something similar, and graduate to Gentoo. Most of the people that post gripes about gentoo (especially here on /.) have problems with it because they don't bother to read documentation, or man pages... don't knock something because you can't figure it out... that's a huge problem with Linux in general actually. Windows users go crazy because Linux isn't as easy (for them) as windows, personaly i find Linux to be FAR easier than windows.

    Fuck you. Anyone that says they are not interested in what "famous" people's machines look like are complete liars. A person's desktop tells a lot about them. I'm sure Linus has a bunch of system monitoring stuff, ie gkrellm. Bill gates prolly has the same, but it always GPFs, crashes, and burns. So he has to re-install MS office.

    Tomorrow, Bill and Linus announced it earlier today. Linux wrote some VB code for the new version of the Windows Explorer Clippy add-on. Once it has been tested and verified to be full of security holes, Gates will make it worse and make it available via windows update.
