  1. Re:Jumping the gun... on FreeBSD 8.0 Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    I was wondering about that; I saw "FreeBSD 8.0 Final" a few days ago on FileForum [betanews.com], but the FreeBSD homepage said RC3 was the latest.

    Was it released by RAZOR1911?

  2. Re:IE on Microsoft Aims To Close Performance Gap With Internet Explorer 9 · · Score: 2, Informative

    I use Chrome. It's an excellent browser that managed to easily sway me away from Firefox despite the fact that I use some FF extensions on a regular basis.

    I have read all about the process per tab design of chrome but I must say that 95% of the times when Chrome crushes, it takes down the whole browser.

  3. Re:This makes sense on Fedora 12 Lets Users Install Signed Packages, Sans Root Privileges · · Score: 1

    The rest of the world, too. When I introduce an XP user to sudo, they seem fine with it.

    Because sudo is a commandline tool and UAC a graphical tool. Sudo behaves like UAC when you try to launch a Gnome or KDE app that requires root.

  4. SystemTap on Fedora 12 Released · · Score: 1

    Also available in this release are SystemTap 1.0 for improved instrumenting and debugging of binaries, complete with Eclipse integration

    I've tried SystemTap and it looks really really cool . I understand that this project is "dtrace for linux". Can someone with experience with both tools give a rundown on how SystemTap 1.0 currently compares with dtrace?

  5. Re:And they couldn't afford a better domain name? on eBay For Millionaires · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't know which joke is older: the one you posted, or the one in your sig.

  6. Re:How about telling Analytics to take a hike? on HTTP Intermediary Layer From Google Could Dramatically Speed Up the Web · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Instead, they feel my data is free for the taking and this entitlement mentality is the main reason why I make an effort to block all forms of tracking.

    What about your sense of entitlement to get their content under your conditions?

  7. Re:Oh that's wonderful on HTTP Intermediary Layer From Google Could Dramatically Speed Up the Web · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Slasdhot should track where moderators spend their mod points. Those who spend it all on the first five posts should be disqualified from moderating.

  8. Re:That's the power of open source on Oracle Outlines Plans for Sun Products, Casts Doubt on NetBeans · · Score: 1

    In reality the only free IDE's that manage to rival Visual Studio (at least to some extent) are those that are backed by big companies: Eclipse (IBM) and Netbeans (Sun). Your average sourceforge IDE project (and there are many) offer no where near the functionality of those two. With lose of the backing by Sun it is very likely that Netbeans will stagnate behind.

    Strange. I always thought he was a giant fart.

  11. Re:It's as logical as castrating judge on Brazilian Court Bans P2P Software · · Score: 1

    But what if for 100 out of 99 times that he used his penis it was for rape? Should we ban him then?

  12. Re:rendering Slashdot on Opera 10.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Can it correctly render Slashdot now?

    Don't blame what you see on Opera. Strangely enough, that is actually the intended design.

  13. Re:Punchline: on The Problems With Porting Games · · Score: 1

    Ferrari can get away with that because they can charge 5 or 10 times the cost of a KIA. Will you be willing to pay $300 - $600 for one game?

  14. Re:I have a theory... on 20 Years of MS Word and Why It Should Die a Swift Death · · Score: 1

    Slashdot was always the best place to get news about Microsoft.

  15. Re:Like everything else on Amazon US Refunds Windows License Fee, Too · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Most people are perfectly comfortable with Windows.

    If the word gets out that you can take off $65 of the laptop price by calling Amazon and asking for a refund without anyone actually checking that you are not using your Windows license, more people will start doing exactly that. That is when Amazon will come up with a better process for handling Windows refunds.

  16. Re:Like everything else on Amazon US Refunds Windows License Fee, Too · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A lot depends on how many more people ask Amazon for a refund for an unwanted Windows license!!

    The moment people will find out that they can both keep the license and get a refund.

  17. Re:VirtualBox on Windows 7 vs. Windows XP On a Netbook · · Score: 1

    Without Direct X support you cannot play any games on a windows VM (perhaps OpenGL based games but I haven't tried any and it's not like they are abundant anyway). You also can't use any of the fancy Aero effects in Vista and 7.

  18. Re:Slashdotted - Google Cache the real links on Alan Cox Quits As Linux TTY Maintainer — "I've Had Enough" · · Score: 1

    Or you can just hover your mouse pointer over the link and see where it goes.

    And BTW the paranoia level here is ridiculous.

  19. Re:Running 7 Exclusively on Gaming On Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    Everything today is stored in the registry. For me, a re installation of everything I use would probably take around 3 hours not to mention all the configuring. I'd rather do it once then twice.

  20. Re:Running 7 Exclusively on Gaming On Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    I see many people telling that they moved to the RC permanently. However, from what I am reading there would be no upgrade path from RC to RTM. Are all of you people planning to reinstall everything when RTM is released?

  21. Re:OOh on Windows 7 Clean Install Only In Europe · · Score: 1

    I decided to go all beta, I'm using 7 and FireFox 3.5 and no other OS installed

    I understood that there isn't going to be a direct upgrade option from RC to the RTM. Are you planning to reinstall everything once your PC starts rebooting every 2 hours on March 2010?

  22. Re:"I Dont Want To Be Ignored Again" he says. on 6 Reasons To License Software Under the (A/L)GPL · · Score: 1

    Your Mongrel site isn't bad, by FOSS standards that is

    Although I don't mind the usual look of most FOSS projects (GNU software pages are a good example), I thought his website looked quite slick and modern.

  23. Re:Huffington Unable to Confirm on Man Attacked In Ohio For Providing Iran Proxies · · Score: 1

    So Pinocchio was not able to verify a story posted by the Baron Munchausen.

  24. Re:eDonkey on Opera Unite is a Hail Mary · · Score: 1

    If I am not wrong, you have to log into Opera before you are allowed to start the Unite server. So even if you don't need their proxy service, in case opera.com is down or blocked, you won't be able to use Unite.

  25. Story's title is flamebait on Windows 7 RCs Shut Down To Force Updates · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's not shutting down to force updates, it's shutting down when the trial period expires.

    This is well known, was discussed here several times and is clearly mentioned on the Microsoft download page.

    To be honest it seems like slashdot has more stories about Microsoft than about Free software.
