  2. Re:This fixes nothing on CAPPS II Guidelines Released · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Funny/Sarcastic?

    Troll?

    The possibilities are endless. Of course the mods aren't familiar with the Holocaust, because they never would have modded Insightful if they knew what the "yellow star" referred to.

    They used to. These days MTV is teh sux and I'd rather watch VH1 or CMT.

    Oh, how I pine for the late 80s/early 90s, when there was QUALITY music video on these channels, and QUANTITY to match. O_o

    A flash mob is a slashdotting - just in person.

    Or you've never gotten a library card, which usually has a nominal fee?

    You must be shitting me.

    I have had cards for the local public library network for 8 years and only had to pay if I lost the card.

    Who cares. No one with half a brain listens to the group.
    HA! Not only do large companies listen, THEY ACTUALLY PAY THEM FOR THE ADVICE! You bet they're going to listen. Too bad for your little linux.

    Well, these PHBs obviously don't have half a brain now do they?

  13. Re:Christianity and the Gutenberg Bible on Digitized Gutenberg Bible Available · · Score: 1

    Who needs the Gut when you can look at a machine-readable Latin Vulgate at http://unbound.biola.edu/ ?

    And that's what the Gutenberg Bible is - a Latin Vulgate. I think it would be interesting to do this work on the Gut but...wouldn't it be easier to work from a text that is already machine-readable?

  16. Re:Christianity and the Gutenberg Bible on Digitized Gutenberg Bible Available · · Score: 1

    NKJV? NIV?

    Those are (from my own view as a hobbyist translator) the positively WORST translations out there. The NRSV is much better as a translation, if you must have a modern English version, and if not, sure, anything is OK, but try reading a Geneva Bible, or better, William Tyndale (the "Matthews Bible").

    Please don't lump Catholics and Protestants in the same category.

  20. Re:Only 2 options. on Installing Everywhere? · · Score: 0

    The answer is ZIP self-extractors!

    InfoZip (and their WiZ project), PKWARE, Nico Mak (WinZip) all make them, and there are self-extractors for all the various Unices as well. Plus graphical ZIP extractors aren't hard to find either.

  21. Re:Don't Install! on Installing Everywhere? · · Score: 1

    Yes, even Windows, DOS and the MacOS have X servers. I like your point - ssh into the system, launch the app, run it remotely over X Window - hell, that would save a lot of aggravation if everything was run that way - but might make some new company out to be a borg, borg, borg...

    You're thinking Master System. Megadrive was quite the same thing (68000 - 32/16bit CPU) as the Genesis.

    Close, but no cigar. I've fixed the caps because of the Lameness Filter, but here is the actual text ripped from the game - Zero Wing by Toaplan for Megadrive (UK Genesis)

    In A.D. 2101
    War was beginning.
    Captain: What happen ?

    the bomb.

    destruction.
