  1. Re:less stupid users on Asa Dotzler on Why Linux Isn't Ready for the Desktop · · Score: 1

    I beleive he was making a reference to the closed source nature of the nvidia drivers...

  2. Here's how I see it on Asa Dotzler on Why Linux Isn't Ready for the Desktop · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm tired of this "Linux isnt ready for the desktop" bs...

    To be honest with you, if Linux runs on any *Desktop* it's ready. It may not be ready for Grannies system, but it is running.

    Granted, this comment is totally biased, but hell, I think freeBSD is also desktop-ready. (Linux, FreeBSD, are used on desktops here)

  3. Regarding the Kernel Used on Linux HW and SW RAID Benchmarked · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This is not a very good review, they have used kernel 2.6.8, 2.6.11 has many fixes upon previous releases in regards to RAID and md (software raid) drivers.

    Lets get a review that uses 2.6.11, then lets see where we are.

  6. Make sure.... on LAN Party at a High School? · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you do it w/ a friend, make sure you outline who does what, and who gets what. Make sure it is signed, and you have a witness.

    I made this mistake hosting a lan w/ a friend. Bascally, he decided to keep the cash, I had nothing saying otherwise. The only payment I received was 8 copies of call of duty I could not sell(that came after the lan), and 2 eight port switches.

  7. mmm fiber optics on Last-Mile Fiber Optic · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    As long as no fuundimental religion is included, i'm all for a fiber connection that's free of charge, where can I sign up?

  8. What was that about homelnd security? on Register your own .mil Domain · · Score: 1, Interesting

    what was that about homeland security? I guess it's all a load...

  9. I don't know about you on DDoS for Fun and Profit · · Score: 1

    But today has been the fastest day of internet access for a while.... Must be becasue all those damn bandwidth hungry Microsoft SQL Servers are down. Hey, i'm not complaining, more bandwidth for me!

  10. Think about the past on DMCA Invoked Against Garage Door Openers · · Score: 1

    How many inventions that we take for granted today have been based on preexisitng technology? If the DMCA was in effect at those times, imagine how our lives may have been. Disney would also not have gotten off the ground, as it would have had to come up with original ideas (God forbid)
    Anyway, enough bitching, I leave with one last thought: "The past was the present and the future. The present builds upon this past, and the future builds upon the present as well as the past. If the past or the present is locked, then what are we to build upon, and what will the future in turn hold?"-- Gerald Normandin

  11. How long before the DMCA kicks in on Speak & Spell Hacking For Fun And Profit · · Score: 1

    He circumventing a digital device! How long until the company claims a DMCA infringement?

    Seriously though, if the copyrights are still held, we are getting to ap oint when even doing hacks on devices we own will get us in jail. Hmmm, time to turn my gamebot into a robot controller, oh wait... nevermind

  12. THis does absolutely nothing on Computers, Court, and Fingerprints · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wait... so they can crack the encryption?
    Nothing is flawless, any form of encryption can be cracked.... all you need is time.

    It would give the community a false sense of security. Just becasue id has DRm doesn't mean anything. Evidence should not be tampered with.... PERIOD

    Oh shit, my t-shirts are radioactive... not that... jeeze, before it was billboards damning sacromento, now this, I really do need sleep...

  15. The irony here is amazing on Pixar/Disney in "Monsters Inc" Ownership Scuffle · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If the above article is indeed factual, the irony presented is simply amazing. Here Disney is, along with the big movie buisness, lobbying for laws that stop consumers from performing the same act performed here.Does anyone else see somethign wrong with this?
    Please stop it before I laugh myself into a heart attack, please stop it!

    Honestly, Microsft, what are you try to achieve here?
    That would be my question... i would then rebut it with "What would you like on your Tombstone?"

  20. Compiling.... on Blender Is GPL · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So, now that people have link to the source... has anyone tried to compile it? I have not been able to compile it. Seems as if the makefiles are messed up pretty badly.

  24. Re:grrr... on KDE Gets The Hat · · Score: 2, Informative

    Check out the google mirror... basically it states that redhat deved up similar themes for both sides... making both look the same. This release is also called "null"

  25. This is the way it should be... on KDE Gets The Hat · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No distro should take preference over which is the default windowmanager... nor promote one more than the other, it is for the end user to decide which enviroment to use. This is what the open source movement is about.... choices!
